    Summary

    Including “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,” he had said, perhaps, a hundred words to her since they met: a four word greeting with a bow when arrived at her parent’s house after weeks of written discussions and negotiations with her father; a six word inquiry before the day itself, “are you sure of this, Miss Connolly?” with her ensuing assurance met only with a sharp nod; and then, their longest conversation to date, his musings on the blasted weather. Yes, it certainly was an unusually chilly March.

    The newly minted Mrs. Russell might as well have married a mute.

    In which George and Bertha have an arranged marriage to start and come to find love during their first year together.

    Summary

    It had been a particular quiet night in LA. It was colder than usual for a winter night so Lucy assumed everyone stayed inside due to horrible weather. Even traffic seemed to die down as she felt as she was on the streets of Los Angeles alone at three in the morning.

    The radio crackled, “All units be advised, reports of a juvenile walking along the shoulder of highway l-10 close to exit 13A. Child appears to be around three years old, no adults in sight. Units in area please respond.”

    “7-Lincoln-300 responding, 3 minutes out, tell EMS to be on standby.”
