"Those cyclamen aren't going to plant themselves, you know," Trevor prodded.
Sylvia thought, He's such a nag. She decided to plant the cyclamen because it would keep him off her back - no other reason.
They'd met at gardening club. Trevor's first wife, Kim "the Tart" had run off. Sylvia thought his silver beard and gold-rimmed spectacles made him look refined but he was hiding who he was behind his benevolent disguise.
The trowel hit something hard. White. A bone.
"Did you and Kim have pets?" Sylvia asked.
"No."
"What's buried there, then?"
Sylvia's curiosity was soon laid to rest.
