Insightful post into the lion’s den that MT may have unwittingly walked into . I could see drumming up a small tear if not for her at least for her daughters sake .
Unfortunately, her actions betrayed her in the end .
It’s not hard to imagine FD’s script to MT .
I’m sure when they first met FD told her that he was already separated.
* A few tryst’s later, JD is in the process of moving out .
*Add in a few more tryst’s and Jennifer is gone .
*Why don’t you and your daughter move in with me , I have an empty house, it’s so lonely and I need you . Your daughter will be closer to the slopes, there is a great school I can get her into , I just need to make 1 phone call, I know all the Trustee’s, it will be a better life for both of you , the ski team and academics are top notch and I will insure to both you and Begue that your daughter will get recruited by a Top Ivy.
Just have Begue call the ski coach to see if this is a good fit for all of you .
*I’ll fly all of you up to Connecticut to have a look around , you are welcome and wanted to stay at my house .
* Don’t worry , My soon to be ex is fine with you and your daughter moving into “my” house , she has her own now and once you meet you two will hit it off .
* My kids won’t mind if your daughter moves in . We’ll make this work, it’ll be fun , just like the Brady Bunch, we can have a beautiful life .
* Once my divorce is final, we will get married . To show my sincerity and desire to be with you (always), I bought you a promise ring . Back in the Old Country my ancestors used to gift a ring to their beloved
To wear on their right hand as a token of their love and eventual betrothal.
( Maybe, he stoops to hand it to her ).
Oh , it’s not too hard to see why a woman in her late 40’s coming from a 1 bedroom apartment in Miami, most likely rejected and not wanted by Begue would fall prey to his charms and do just about anything to keep him .
