"Exactly. Only a scoundrel like Dave would do something so shameless, and push a nice girl to this point."
"But she shouldn't have done this... It's too cruel."

"Old Dawson and his wife were very good to Shea. People should have some respect for past kindness, right? Couldn't she have just divorced him?"
"Are you sure they weren't just feeling guilty? They must have known exactly what their son is like!"
The surrounding neighbors offered a mix of praise and condemnation for Shea's actions, their voices not quiet, but none of it stopped her from baring her teeth at Dave in front of her.
"What? Compared to the disgusting things you've done, I think what I did was quite nice." Shea stared daggers at Dave, saying word by word, "A piece of trash like you who tricks women into marriage, who's infertile and can only give his wife away to other men—what right do you have to exist in this world?"
