‘No, she never told me that,’ I said. ‘It was just a couple of days before the wedding, Jessie told me she wasn’t sure if she still loved John... She didn’t know if she could go through with the wedding. ‘Then John was killed. Did you know they had a terrible argument that night, and John left very angry?’ I shook my head. ‘A few hours later he was dead . . . and Jessie blamed herself.
