On the day of our honeymoon, Leopold Davidson's secretary insisted on tagging along. At the airport, she wanted to go hiking, while I longed to see the snow. Leopold hesitated briefly, then sided with his secretary. He didn't ask me, yet changed our entire itinerary. I didn't board the plane that day. I went alone to a northern city blanketed in ice and snow. Leopold spent a week with his secretary before finally calling me. "Danielle," he said, "throwing a tantrum on the very first day of our marriage? I don't have the patience to indulge you." But he seemed to have forgotten that on the day we were supposed to register our marriage, his secretary had a fever, and he rushed to her side. We weren't even married yet.
