At first Daisy feared she was crying, but it soon became clear that she was laughing uncontrollably. "No, that's not possible... How absurd! You could never..."

No sense of humor, no discernible amiability. He was awkward, tall, out of proportion, and so thin that his arms and legs looked like vine branches. Daisy remembered the way Matthew's coat seemed to hang off his broad shoulders as if there were nothing inside. "Instead of telling
