"You've been taking your sweet time with the move. I am starting to feel like you don't want to leave your home. Is it the memories of raising Jack here?" Gwen asked. "Or is it that you still have feelings for Joseph."

Dorothy knew her sister had to be losing her mind for thinking she cared about her late husband. "There is much to move and since it will be permanent, I am enjoying my last days in Lockwood. You only want it to be quick so you can get away from your husband."

"I am tired of the way that man breathes. Should I follow your lead and get rid of him or would that be too suspicious?" Gwen wondered, hoping that it wasn't.

"You don't need to kill him. Just leave," Dorothy answered.

"That is rich coming from you," Gwen replied. She could take that advice from anyone else who hadn't killed their husband.
