The Bridal Veil
“Wasn’t it too bad that Luke hadn’t been able to give Belinda a honeymoon at all?
She’d tried to rearrange the parlor furniture to suit herself and had criticized Belinda for doting upon Rose.
Afterward, Luke’s simmering resentment had boiled over onto his wife. Why could she never take his side during one of Cora’s tirades? Or give him her permission to defend himself against the fault-finding nag? Out of respect for his wife, he’d held his tongue, but a man had his limits. . . If she didn’t fe...el up to that task, couldn’t she at least ask her meddling mother to keep her opinions to herself, goddamn it?
It had been nothing more than a rehash of other arguments, older hurts, and discontentments. He’d loved her so much, but no matter how hard he’d tried to please her, Cora always gave her reasons to be unhappy with him.
Finally, one night, that night, he’d decided he couldn’t take it anymore. If he’d known what lay ahead, if he’d kept his temper under control, life might be different now.MoreLess
