After hearing the story, Lucy Ingram found it outrageous as well. "The freaks these days are getting bolder and bolder. To dare to do something like that... Aren't they afraid someone will fly into a rage and try to kill them?"
"Tell me about it. It really stuck with me after I read it. I was just thinking, both our families have daughters. The men out there these days are incredibly shrewd. What if they meet someone like that? Wouldn't their lives be ruined?"
Lucy Ingram didn't like the sound of that at all. "Hey, hey, hey! Gossip is one thing, but don't you dare jinx my Joyce!"
Lillian Donovan was speechless. 'I'm just making a hypothetical and you're already freaking out. If you knew this is exactly what's going to happen to your Joyce, you'd probably go after Julian Croft and his father with a cannon right now and mow them both down.'
