As August dragged on, money ran out, and Sylvia and Ted had to cut their honeymoon short. On August 21, five days after their two-month wedding anniversary and four days after Ted’s twenty-sixth birthday, they loaded their suitcases onto a bus that would take them to Barcelona, one stop on their way to Paris. Sitting on the bus, Sylvia thought back over the past two months. In many ways, her honeymoon had been joyous and intellectually fulfilling—for years she would remember Ted reading Shakespeare to her while she cooked, the sight of the purple mountains at midnight, the smell of the fish she bought in the town’s open market—but it also contained the choking incident. She herself had described Ted as a “breaker of things and people.” But the scene on the hill scared her. Sylvia had known Ted barely three and a half months when she married him; seven months ago, they had not even met. Had she chosen a man who was too much for her? Should she tell someone about the assault? Was Mrs. Prouty right? Sylvia had gone too far to turn back. To family and friends, she had announced her love for Ted so emphatically that, if she cast him in a bad light now, she would look like a fool.
