Laughed? Are you sure? This seems very unlikely. Other than John Humphrys and Shami Chakrabarti, I can’t think of anyone on Earth less likely to be caught cracking a joke than you. I think maybe there’s been a simple misunderstanding here. Perhaps she wasn’t laughing at (or with, I suppose) you at all; maybe she’d just seen someone slip on a banana skin behind you, or perhaps she’s one of those nervous laughers who just can’t help it – spluttering at police officers, ROFLing at funerals. That must be it, surely? If I were you, I’d put it out of your mind and chalk it up as one of those awkward first-year-of-marriage moments when you’re both still figuring each other out and everyone’s feeling a bit libidinous and jumpy. Work your tension into your character as Bond, it’ll give those moody looks all the more weight. But steel yourself because, in my experience, once a laugher, always a laugher. She’s almost bound to do it again, without thinking, and you’re going to have to deal with it when she does. May I suggest that you laugh along with her? That’ll give her the fright of her life and should ensure that next time, she’ll be more careful.
