"Why not?" someone finally asked.

Lyman looked around at them, his expression full of disdain. "Because you all hog my wife's attention and I barely get any time with her."

"Alright, alright, we get it, you hopeless romantic," Randell said, rolling his eyes. "If you don't want your wife overworked, just say so. Why drag us into it?"

Suddenly, Vinson Elliott chimed in, "Well, Lyman, you and Effie never even had a honeymoon. Why not let Randell organize a trip? You two can take it as a late honeymoon."

Lyman shot Vinson a withering look. "Why would I want a crowd of third wheels on my honeymoon? I'm not crazy."
