Jill had escaped Mayko. She'd found a dress, put it on and then escaped her friend, not because she wanted to, of course, but because Mayko wanted her to do all this thinking and Jill was tired of thinking. Thinking was hard and she thought it would just be better to get married and not have to think ever again.
Because Rodney would do all the thinking for her.
As she hurried down the path to New Atlantis, she smoothed her hands down the front of the dress the clothing box had given to her. It was really quite nice, all clean lines and smooth material and it really made her look like quite the perfect bride. There was even a little veil attached to her hair.
"Rodney?" she called when she got near his hut. "Rodney, I found the most wonderful dress. I'm ready to get married now."
