Summary

Chelsea met a guy named Charles a little over a year ago on POF. They connected immediately and Chelsea developed very strong feelings for him.

Now, a friend of Chelsea’s has brought something to her attention that makes Chelsea think that Charles has not been completely honest with her. But the truth is not anything she could possibly have imagined.
