I´d have had you down as a thrillers and suspense man?" "Yes, normally you´d be right. But the fact that when I was in the hospital, unconscious, out of all the books she could have chosen, Charlotte decided to read this to me, left me thinking that I should give it a try." "And?"

"Yes, finally.... I engineered this wedding. There were times when I thought I'd never get the two of them hitched." Silence falls, the awkward silence of people trying to find the next thing to say.
