Marriage And Other Games
“He seemed to be keeping a deliberate distance from Charlotte, who was bewildered by his hostility. As soon as he got home from work, he went up to his office, only coming out to pick disinterestedly at his supper before disappearing again. She didn’t interrogate him.

He’d plough his way through it eventual...ly, and emerge smiling. He always managed to find a tactic that brought him out on top.
