Matilda still couldn’t get over the day when months earlier Vincent had broken the news to her. They had been married for over forty years, and she believed they would reach their fiftieth anniversary, health permitting. She thought they were happy, but she couldn’t be more wrong.
Matilda recalled the day Vincent returned home from a supposed golf outing with old friends. Both were committed to staying active, even in retirement. She had continued playing tennis and walking with friends, while Vincent, she believed, was doing the same with golf.
