Dedication
For my friend, Andy Eisenberg, who has been with this story since its
inception. You taught me that life is far, far stranger than fiction. This is
for you, my friend, with all my love and thanks.

A
NDREW
watched the new couple with a cynical eye. Mr. and Mrs.
Newlyweds, matching rings glinting in the sunlight, his arm around her
shoulders, keeping her close. He could only see their backs as they
were introduced to the neighborhood vultures, but Jesus, he was tall.
Built like a brick shit house. His wife was tiny compared to Mr.
Newlywed, barely coming up to his shoulders, yet from Andrew‟s
perspective she had him on a tight leash, her fingers hooked firmly
though his belt loops. She wasn‟t letting him go anytime soon. Andrew
couldn‟t hear them, but he could see the guy laughing at some
wisecrack Allison had made.
He knew how this would pan out. An introduction at the cookout,
polite smiles exchanged, then they would vanish behind the front door,
only emerging for work and grocery shopping. No one was really
friends here, not unless they had kids, and then it was play dates,
carpools, and sneaky gins at two in the afternoon. Still, they had to
pretend for the newbiesAllison‟s orders.
If there was one thought in Andrew‟s head at any of these
neighborhood parties, it was how soon he could escape. No matter how
much he drank, or how much he tried to fit in, every party was long and
tedious, even with the agreement with Stephanie that, after showing
willingness, he could retreat to his dark room. He was so tired of
pretending to be something he wasn‟t. Andrew Matthews, model
husband, father, and town photographer. Andrew looked at his watch.
Half an hour, then he could leave the neighbors to their amusements
and disappear back to the darkroom. Twenty-nine minutes and thirty
seconds. He took a swig of his beer. Idly, he wondered how long they
had been married. A month? Six weeks tops. He predicted that in nine
months time there would be a little Newlywed in a stroller, or… hello!
