Marybeth remained a step behind Jackson, clinging to the wall like plastic wrap. She kept her arms straight down and her hands planted along the wall, trying to show her ability to stay out of the way, but Jackson thought she very much was in the way.

When she arrived, he would mail her a letter that said: Now you are out of the way.
