Chubby Sophia stares at her fiancé in shock, wondering if she heard him right. Postpone their wedding so he can marry his ex and grant her last wish? It’s absurd, and it hurts! But Theodore stands there, looking so serious as if this isn’t the most outrageous thing he’s ever asked. Theodore speaks again into chubby Sophia stunned silence. Theodore: It will only be for six months. I’ll be widowed, and then we can carry on and spend the rest of our lives together. Please be reasonable, *I say gruffly. Alexandra, beside him in a wheelchair, acts innocent but is tearful with hope. Alexandra speaks next: Please. It’ll be my only chance to know what it was like to be married to Theo. My casual use of his name breaks something in chubby Sophia, especially as Theodore seems to soften and smile at Alexandra use of it.
