The way Wanda is talking is making me nervous, but I keep nodding calmly until she comes to the point. Is she going to say that Kent is a murderer? I've known a lot of those, although if he's lifted a hand to Wanda -
"This wonderful guy I met? The one who seemed a perfect match for me in every aspect? He's the one in the water tower. And I wed him anyway, knowing what I know."
...
I put my tea cup down quite gently on its saucer. There are a great many things I could say, but for the moment I can't think of any of them.
"Why on earth," is what comes out at last, "would the Devil want to get married?" And then I look at Wanda again, Wanda who has been bigger each time I've seen her lately. "Oh," I say quite thinly. "Oh, my dear."
