His Wife
Smiling, she says, “Hi, I’m Lucille Emillia Ralonds, but you can call me Lucy.”
I smile back, “Nice to meet you, Lucy. I’m Elanor, but you can call me Ellie.”
“Ellie, I like that name. I have an old-sounding name, and Lucy isn’t much better.” Lucy says, smiling.
Lucy and I make small talk. Chad moves closer to us. I ask them questions about how long they have been together and other general questions to get to know someone. We talk a bit more until Lucy asks, “Ellie, you seem lovely. I must ask, why did you marry Max? I’m aware this is arranged, but you must be in a tough spot to willingly go through this.”
