Chapter 19 - Samuel
Samuel proposed at seventy-eight.
I laughed.
Not because no.
Because teenager.
He proposed in diner with pie.
I said:
“Are you asking because Ruth threatened you?”
“Yes.”
Then serious.
“Yes.”
Daniel surprised me by supporting.
Claire ecstatic.
Vanessa sent congratulations.
No inheritance questions.
My estate attorney created prenuptial agreement.
Samuel insisted.
Not because distrust.
Clarity.
My assets.
His.
Joint.
No one entitled to guess.
We married small.
Vanessa did not attend? Maybe invited at Claire's request? She and Eleanor perhaps still letters, not ready. I didn't invite. That's okay.
She sent flowers.
No hidden meaning.
I became Eleanor Brooks-Hayes? maybe keep Hayes professionally. No need.
Samuel never exploited.

He also annoyed me daily.
Good.
