Into this shopsoiled Eden came, as usual, the Snake. This particular serpent took the form of a young American civilian, an aeronautical engineer on contract as a consultant to the Hindustan Aircraft Company. These people were setting up to build a light aircraft for (hopeful) sale to the nascent Indian Air Force.
Some enchanted evening...these two met, and June fell for this man "like a ton of bricks". Throwing caution to the wind
(yes, that old cliché agian!), she dived into a torrid love affair. It did not help that he was a (relative) fixture there: she would not be "saved by the bell". Things rapidly grew serious, then turned nasty. Her husband divorced her. @ This was not the almost casual affair that it appears to be today. There it was the Scandal of the Year. June cared little, but looked forward to a new life with her new man in the New World. It seemed a reasonable expectation.
Note @: (What happened to the boy? Who got custody? June never spoke of him and no one was so crassly tactless [or cruel] as to raise the matter).
