Mr. Leigh was Sweetness’s landlord when Bride was a child. One day, Bride saw him molesting a child in the alley behind their building. When Bride told Sweetness, Sweetness was angry at Bride, not Mr. Leigh. Bride later understands that Sweetness was afraid that Mr. Leigh might kick them out of their apartment in retaliation. Bride thinks that if they had had to move out of their apartment, they would have had a hard time finding another one due to the prevalence of racism among landlords and property managers at the time.
