Wendy looked at Stanley. "That's personal. It has nothing to do with you."
Stanley gave her a knowing smile, one that was full of meaning. Hen pulled her toward him, chuckling as he rebuked her, "Wendy, you'd better know your place." Wendy said slowly, "Stanley, don't get involved if you don't plan to bear responsibility. Don't give others hope. That way, they won't be disappointed.".

He was a good man, but ultimately, he wasn't hers. They would divorce soon, and he would be Jessica's and man. No matter how much she might want to rely on him, it would never happen. Years ago, he had promised to take her away from that cave, but he would never know how long she had waited for him there-day after day. He never showed up.
Instead, she was left with that brute, George.
He never cfor her.
