Cartwright huh I've been very rude mrs. Layton tell me what it is you think I should know when Josh died he he wasn't the man you knew or the man I married there's no other way to say it Joshua's a drunk he drank himself to death I find that almost impossible to believe so did I until the debts started piling up till I started selling the furniture out from under us till I realized I was married to a madman Adam should have told me now you've realized why these past few months of mourning have been a mockery living all alone in that empty match gave him myself locked off from the world and then Haas came along it was so sweetie so I understanding for the first time in months I felt like a woman again I fell in love with him mr.
