HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE
There were moments when I had to physically stop myself from leaning my forehead against the cool mahogany of the bookshelves just to keep from screaming into the air.
“Susan,” I had said on Wednesday, my voice trembling with a cocktail of suppressed hysteria and disbelief, “could you explain why there is a biography of Betty White tucked away in the ‘Z’ aisle?”
She had looked up at me with wide, unblinking eyes, her thumb still hovering over a TikTok scroll that was playing a tinny, repetitive song.
“Oh, I thought it was under 'Z' for... Zeal? She had a lot of zeal, right? It just felt right, Miss Alex.”
