Loraine long suspected her future mother-in-law didn't like her. She dropped frequent hints about her suitability as a spouse for her precious son and reminded her often about his previous blond beautiful looking girlfriends.
On her 30th birthday she opened her birthday gift from her future mother-in-law. The book, the very expensive book, she'd wanted; complete with a lovely bookmark. Wait. 'What was this.' She read the bookmark. 'Welcome to your local library - please ensure you return this by the due date to avoid a fine.'
She ended the engagement. And married the new librarian.
