“Hannah pictured Mark⟳ and herself sitting smiling over a stiff white tablecloth and single, interview-appropriate glasses of wine, making smalltalk and pretending everything was fine, that they were an ordinary happy couple, no stolen savings or hidden killer brothers to muddy the crystalline marital waters.”

““Don,” she said, and pushed the hair back from her eyes with an irritated sweep⟳ of her hand, “if the health of my toads is your idea of smalltalk while we work⟳ then I think⟳ I’d rather you just kept quiet, if it’s all the same to you.””
