  • Her son was 4 and would be in the custody of her brother and sister-in-law since she was dead and her husband in prison.
  • She and Stowe were having an affair and in love, but had broken it off at her request since she was married and decided she needed to be faithful again.
  • She met Stowe the previous summer (2060) when she bought a painting of Tuscany he’d done at a sidewalk display.
  • Tween listed her Tuscany farmhouse for sale, giving the custodians three weeks to vacate and her Florence flat, evicting her young cousin, an art student, currently living there. All sales were blocked with his arrest.[2]
