just waiting patiently for her to feel the same way. August and Miss Margaret wondered when they were going to marry and questioned Buford Tee incessantly. The subject of marriage came up only once, Miss Carmelia establishing from the start that she would never marry another man. Buford Tee wasn’t a big fan of marriage either, believing no man should be beholden to another, and all marriage was, was another form of bondage.
Buford Tee had thought of asking Miss Carmelia to move in with him, but part of him liked his freedom. It wasn’t that he didn’t like Miss Carmelia. He liked her a lot. Coincidentally, Miss Carmelia was enjoying her newfound freedom and definitely didn’t want to ruin it by moving a man into her house. A man in the house would mean two mouths to feed and insatiable needs she’d have to meet. One baby was enough for her. No, sir. She did not want that ever again.
For Buford Tee and Miss Carmelia, their union worked for both of them just fine, Buford Tee living in his home and Miss Carmelia in hers. After that one time, the discussion of marriage never arose again.
