That's why the evolution fits the title "...and other dilemmas". Over time raising kids and living, Beverly forgot about Preston and didn't realize how vindictive he truly was. Yep, you guessed. Preston's petunia assault on the the Buckley's I feel will backfire. Let's see how it all unravels. Lionel's emotional friend, Stanley, will only take him so far. Thank God Lionel has his wife as true backup. And I don't think Beverly gives two cents about who she steamrolls and how to keep her vacation money!

Thanks for sticking with my story so far. I'm pleased you liked the pivot to uncovering the hidden motives behind the characters. More to come as we discover who really did kill the petunias if they didn't die of natural causes.

Take care.
