I never understood what he saw in her in the first place.
She was pretty, I guess, in a wild, unhinged sort of way. But she had no
family, no education, no job (not a decent one anyway). And frankly I didn’t
see any evidence that she even felt the same way toward him that he obviously
felt toward her.
But it was none of my business. I’ve been able to live
peacefully in this neighborhood all these years by keeping to myself and out of
other people’s business. But I never thought it would work out.
So they got engaged. He looked happy, she looked, well, like
a trapped animal. My opinion.
