          it wasn’t that she truly had an ATTENTION problem ;  it was more that weddings were boring .   marlene had always found them to be a bit much .   how could you spend hours standing still and do nothing but look wistfully into the eyes of your spouse-to-be without winding up wanting to vomit .   she could never last the whole ceremony without needing to leave and ease her restless tendencies at some point .   so that’s where she was now ,  getting some air away from the lovey-dovey business .   usually she spent her time outside alone ,  which is why she was mildly surprised to find another avoiding the festivities .   “  we can’t all leave or they’ll NOTICE we’re not there ,  you know .   alice would track me down and skin me  ––––  and i know she could .  ”
