It all came crumbling down, apart, to pieces…
What they'd built was a house of cards. The ground layer consisted of flimsy, one-sided attraction on Lee's part. The next layer up was Marietta's desire to take anyone's loving (because she would never shake being a "sneak"). The next level up was made of Lee's promises to give her the perfect life and the perfect children—anything and everything she could ever want. After that, Marietta gave him two children and no more. Then after, Lee said, "I love you."
Things crumbled with her top layer: an affair with Roger Davies…
