Eileen could see herself putting down roots in this quiet corner of America with Calley as her ticket - Eileen would be Calley’s Mustang Sally and it was he that had to put his flat feet on the ground.
Calley reckoned he’d be relatively safe from arrest if he stuck to his story so he confided in no one, including Eileen.
