Plus there was the emoticon in D's text to his mother.
When I listened to ER, she sounds as though she had a choice whether Dylan went to his dad's or not, although I don't know if that's the case if the visit was court ordered.
You know
I wish I did because then hed be home. I mean, I wish I could relive that day
and
and do things a lot differently. Umm
I had absolutely nothing to do with Dylans disappearance
and
I really feel sorry for the person who did.
Where she says she wishes she could relive that day ... and not tell Dylan he had to go? But then again, toward the end of the interview she talks about how Dylan was excited to make the trip.
