Maryanne stood near the glass, completely free of the heavy, suffocating silver gown. She wore a sharp, elegant summer dress, radiating absolute health, power, and incredible joy. She wasn't holding back tears, and she wasn't hiding in her husband's shadow.
She was standing completely tall, immensely wealthy, and entirely secure in her own independence.
