The Langdon family used to be happy, but they were slowly falling apart.
Ruby was like a balloon that was on the verge of exploding.
She used to be a perfect wife and mother, but that was all in the past.
She had made a lot of sacrifices when they moved to their new place.
Unlike George, she could not freely transfer to a different district for her job. However, she knew that a new environment was what Blake needed, so she resigned as a police sergeant.
At their new place, she found a job at a private business. It was a risk that not many would take, but Ruby was willing to do it for Blake.
She wanted a new beginning for him.
Indeed, things did look promising at the start. However, it all came crashing down when everyone discovered Blake's disability.
Out of despair, Ruby began an affair with a man she met. Besides, her passion for George had dissipated.
The man she had an affair with reinvigorated her. He promised to marry her and start a new family with her.
