for Danny; and she dreaded the day when he grew old enough to lay blame。 And she
wondered where they would go。 She had no doubt her mother would take her in; and
no doubt that after a year of watching her diapers remade; Dannys meals
recooked andor redistributed; of ing home to find his clothes changed or his
hair cut or the books her mother found unsuitable spirited away to some limbo in
the attic 。。。 after half a year of that; she would have a plete nervous
breakdown。 And her mother would pat her hand and say fortingly; Although its
not your fault; its all your own fault。 You were never ready。 You showed your
true colors when you came between your father and me。
My father; Dannys father。 Mine; his。
(Who giveth this woman? I do。 Dead of a heart attack six months later。)
The night before that morning she had lain awake almost until he came in;
thinking; ing to her decision。
The divorce was necessary; she told herself。 Her mother and father didnt
belong in the decision。 Neither did her feelings of guilt over their marriage
nor her feelings of inadequacy over her own。 It was necessary for her sons
sake; and for herself; if she was to salvage anything at all from her early
adulthood。 The handwriting on the wall was brutal but clear。 Her husband was a
lush。 He had a bad temper; one he could no longer keep wholly under control now
that he was drinking so heavily and his writing was going so badly。 Accidentally
or not accidentally; he had broken Dannys arm。 He was going to lose his job; if
not this year then the year after。 Already she had noticed the sympathetic looks
from the other faculty wives。 She told herself that she had stuck with the messy
job of her marriage for as long as she could。 Now she would have to leave it。
Jack could have full visitation rights; and she would want support from him only
until she could find something and get on her feet — and that would have to be
fairly rapidly because she didnt know how long Jack would be able to pay
support money。 She would do it with as little bitterness as possible。 But it had
to end。
So thinking; she had fallen off into her own thin and unrestful sleep; haunted
by the faces of her own mother and father。 Youre nothing but a home…wrecker;
her mother said。 Who giveth this; woman? the minister said。 I do; her father
said。 But in the bright and sunny morning she felt the same。 Her back to him;
her hands plunged in warm dishwater up to the wrists; she had menced with the
unpleasantness。
〃I want to talk to you about something that might be best for Danny and I。 For
you too; maybe。 We should have talked about it before; I guess。〃
And then he had said an odd thing。 She had expected to discover his anger; to
provoke the bitterness; the recriminations。 She had expected a mad dash for the
liquor cabinet。 But not this soft; almost toneless reply that was so unlike him。
