Scenes from a marriage, October edition

Barb: Do... you want to go to Spirit of Halloween?

Me: Any reason in particular?

Barb: Well, I don't think we've ever been to one....

Me: So, like a field trip, since we were going to run other errands? Just to observe?

Barb: Yes! ... and also maybe to buy chains.

Me: Okay, but why chains? Are you going to cosplay as Wen Ning?

Barb: Just... to have! You know, put out on the ground. For spooky for the trick or treaters! Perhaps to suggest that things could still go badly.

Me: Okay, what time did you want to go?
