One day at lunch, Frank asked if I wanted to attend a party for one of the guys in another office who was getting married. Mind you, the drinking age was twenty-one then and I had just turned nineteen. When he named the club the party was at, I told him I probably couldn't get in.

In his grief, Henry mistook her cold calculation and his.
