Summary
The Duke and Duchess of Buckingham are expecting their first child, the transcontinental railroad is still far from being built, a killer is on the loose in New York, women are fighting for the right to vote---and George and Bertha Russell are separated.
My, what is the world coming to.
~
COON: We don’t want to leave George and Bertha like this.
SPECTOR: We’d like to figure out a way to get them back to where they used to be, for sure. Although, I don’t know how that’s going to happen. Not that it can’t happen. I would love to see how they figure that out.🫡

Summary
Including “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,” he had said, perhaps, a hundred words to her since they met: a four word greeting with a bow when arrived at her parent’s house after weeks of written discussions and negotiations with her father; a six word inquiry before the day itself, “are you sure of this, Miss Connolly?” with her ensuing assurance met only with a sharp nod; and then, their longest conversation to date, his musings on the blasted weather. Yes, it certainly was an unusually chilly March.
The newly minted Mrs. Russell might as well have married a mute.
In which George and Bertha have an arranged marriage to start and come to find love during their first year together.

Summary
With Lonnie chronically absent, bills piling up, and her boys to feed, Joyce takes a desperate, last-minute waitressing job at a seedy bar on the outskirts of Indianapolis. When she calls Hopper to babysit for the night, she doesn’t expect it to stir up everything they’ve been pretending not to feel.
Pre-canon. Part I of the Edge of Night series. Set in 1980... before the fallout between them, before all the fights, before the world turned upside down.

But the man only laughs, the sound of it, devoid of any happiness, sending a shiver down her spine. "Oh, we're counting on it."
