It turned out that her marriage to Enoch had flown completely under her radar.
Drusilla said, "I just didn't think it was necessary to mention."
"How could it not be necessary? We're talking about Enoch here! Do you have any idea how loaded his family is? Harlan, that jerk, marrying Lilith and acting like he's God's gift to earth. And you went straight ahead and married Enoch, huh?"
