   Summary

   And yes, cheating on your husband maybe isn't what a therapist would reccomend after the loss of a baby and the loss of a parent. But, Penelope thinks, leaving your mourning wife who had to birth a baby that would never breath, or smile, probably isn't either, and Alfred did that anyway.
   So, she can’t really feel that bad about her actions.
