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?
Me: Any reason in particular?
