Lynn's Comments: The relationship between Ted and Connie (with Uncle Phil in there for added angst) was my first attempt to write a story about people outside the immediate family. I really had no idea where this relationship was going! I thought about them getting married, what Lawrence's relationship to the not-too-fatherly Ted would be like, and I let things between them just "happen". It was an exercise. I fumbled with the dialogue and futzed about with the Pattersons' involvement and simply hoped for the best.
