Was he always like that or did that happen after the death of his wife, Lucille? Because that can happen when you lose someone you care for. If that person happened to be one of very few, or the one person they had counted on or were in love with, all the worse for the psyche. Raven will needle her way into breaking past that. She knows enough about masks to know one when she sees it. To her, this will be more than just marriage. No, dear husband, if she's going to follow you, she will need to know your real intentions.
Raven will be sure to be careful then. She might end up becoming too comfortable with this new family to give him any reason to take her out of it.
