Renee sounded like she was exaggerating Quinton's good sides and ignoring his flaws, but what she said was the
truth. The current Quinton was not as extrand cruel as he used to be, which might have been because of
the love Renee and the kids showed him. He had beca rational, gentle, and kind person, so Renee wanted
to meet Joanne because she hoped to bring them together. Even if they didn't get together, she would be happy
