  2. Humiliated and with his mother hospitalized from shock, the narrator catches the other abandoned bride's eye and quietly suggests they marry each other instead.

  3. Three years and two children later Eleanor reappears tearful, but the narrator simply lifts both kids and steps past her, focused on collecting his wife from work.
