- Dialogue:
Tara: Vanessa? Is that you?
Vanessa: Oh! Hello, Tara. I was just admiring the water. It looks shallow, but it’s surprisingly deep here. It makes for a lovely swimming hole.
Tara: Does Otto know that you go swimming in the lake that’s, uh, inside the woods he absolutely detests?
Vanessa: I haven’t swum here in years. But when I was a little girl, my family came here on vacation every summer. Those weeks were always the best part of the year. They were how I knew Fairhaven was special to me. You visited as well when you were a child… did you also have that sense?
--[Choice: Yes]
-Tara: Yes! Whenever my dad brought me to visit my grandmother, I didn’t want to go back.
-Vanessa: Neither did I! I wonder what our lives would have been like if we’d grown up here?
--[Choice: It was complicated]
-Tara: I always wanted to come back, but my dad and grandmother... well, I didn't even know why they were fighting.
-Vanessa: I understand. My parents pushed me very hard when I was a child. It took me a long time to understand why they did it. They just wanted me to succeed.
--[Choice: No]

Vanessa: In any case… I love Fairhaven, even the parts of it my husband doesn’t care for. Sometimes it’s hard for me to express that love. But I do feel it.
Tara: That’s really sweet, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Well, I mean it! Oh, and Tara? Don’t tell everyone about my spot. I like having space to just be.
