Awww. Poor Dotty - I'm glad she's getting some of what she wants out of life, but to be missing out on other things...that's gotta suck. She does have the option of remarrying, and maybe she'll find love again one day, but who knows? It's still got to be difficult in that very 1950s world where everyone else is neatly paired off and breeding like rabbits.

Yeah, Dotty's doing some stuff, but she's existing more than living, if that makes sense, and Peggy picked up on the fact that her aunt's not completely happy. I have plans for Dotty, but they're a little further down the road than this drabble.

You know, I kind of like that Dotty is taking time to heal after her husband's death.

Things are never simple, which is sort of sad.

Dotty is very right in taking her time after Edward's death. Their courtship and marriage was so whirlwind.

It's too bad for Dotty that it can't be as simple as Peggy makes it out to be.
