Water Ch. 244 - No Hail Mary Will Save Me

 
Her pain was almost too much to take. From the physical abuse she had just suffered through, at the hands of her ex Dalton and through the emotional mess that she is now, it's being made worse by her muscle tension and her shivering.

Water Ch. 243 - Tuesdays Just Might Go My Way

Water Ch. 237 - My Most Beautiful Regret


For the last two days, Beth has enjoyed her time away and her time alone.  Other than ordering room service, she has talked to no one. She didn't want to talk to anyone.

Water Ch. 234 - Not All Our Dreams Are Coming True


 
She watches him doze off and that gives her a little bit of comfort, however, she can hear his words ringing in his ears.  He can't be her friend, he can't let her back into his life.

"Does Dalton make you happy?" he says to her as she takes a step out the door.  She stops, walks back in and closes the door most of the way.

Water Ch. 226 - It Seems You Always Wait For Life To Happen

 
 
She can't shake what has been on her mind for the last couple of days.  She can't seem to figure out why Jon left the New Jersey house to go live in a Manhattan apartment.  In no scenario does it make sense to her. 

Water Ch. 225 - Blow Out The Candles On The Cake


It all played out in the headlines, just like Beth knew that it would.  When she pulled out of the New Jersey driveway that spring afternoon, she swore she would never go back.
