 Viv
 January 16, 1935
 On the morning of her wedding, Viv Byrne cried.
 It should have been simple. All she had to do was keep her head down, walk into the registry office, and say the words that would make her Mrs. Joshua Levinson. Then everything would be okay, just like Joshua promised.
 However, sitting in her pearl-gray dress, none of it felt that simple.
