How much do you want to know? Glen said. All of it, said Peg. Eddie Clayton, Peg’s American Boy, had died in France six months after they met. His official name wasn’t Eddie Clayton but Henry Edward Claydon. Known as Eddie. And he was married young but unhappily so. He had planned to divorce and marry Peg and take her back to the States, that much was true. Had even told his parents this intention. They were a gentle family. They would support whatever their son needed to do. Peg wasn’t a secret, Peg was real. So he did love me.
