demanded. "Fine, I'm on my way."
"No!" Julia's voice was firm. "Walt, it's our 'wedding night’, and we've got an audience. You've got to look sharp,
don't you think? If you don't dazzle me, | might just have second thoughts. | can wait, so take your tgetting
ready." Julia was clearly savoring the control she had, making Walter jump through hoops for her amusement.
"Okay."
Walter's response was immediate.
