In a few months' time, Nathaniel Palone, the younger brother of the newlywed Antony Palone, would, regrettably, break up with his girlfriend of two years, Nicole Wilson. Although friends and family of Miss Wilson claimed that the ensuing depressive spell she endured was normal, considering the circumstances, and that they expected her to "get over it," Miss Wilson attempted suicide by hanging on December 25th, 1983 in her apartment in downtown New York City. She was discovered by her long-time friend Mrs. Lily Ramsay, and rushed to New York Downtown Hospital. There, she was put under heavy sedatives after she attacked the RN and raving of her conviction that she would one day marry Mr. Palone. During her stay at NYDH, she suffered from increasingly severe panic attacks and an irrational fear of get-well balloons. The few who were allowed to visit her feared that she would never recover.

It was at this time that she met Dr. Ronald Warmbrodt, a psychologist who later diagnosed her with several psychological disorders, none of which shall be listed here. After her physical recovery from her suicide attempt was complete, she was admitted to the Willow Life Mental Health Clinic outside of Manchester, New Hampshire. Mr. Palone took some responsibility for her state of mental health, claiming that he should have broken the news in a more gentle fashion, and is paying for her expenses there.

If only the marriage of Antony and Elizabeth Palone had gone so well.
