The relationship between Benjamin Shaw and Alice Turner is not good, and Charlotte Shaw and the family know this, but they don't know just how bad it is. They also don't know that the couple has never lived together since they got married.
When Charlotte heard Alice say that they had a big fight, apart from being worried, she just felt confused. She didn't know what these two were up to.
One says his wife is pregnant, the other says they're fighting. What on earth is going on between them?
"Because we can't stand each other."
Talking to Charlotte feels much more natural for Alice than talking to Isla Lane. There are some things she can't bring herself to say to Isla, but when facing Charlotte, she has no such scruples.
She and Benjamin indeed cannot stand each other, not even a little bit. If they could, they wouldn't be in this situation.
