Page 3: — Alma's love life

A king-size bed in the sunlight, made up with a beautiful bedspread stretched tight and pillows carefully arranged.  Alma is huddled under the covers, with her head emerging at one of the bottom corners.  She is in a fetal position, taking up as little space as possible, and has not disturbed the rest of the covers at all — it's as if neatness and order have almost pushed her out of bed entirely. 

Alma glancing sideways at a man in a suit as he goes out a door.  You don't see the man's face, only the suit, a hand, and on Alma's face an expression of interest, confusion and perhaps a little despair.
