About Daphne Hall

Daphne Hall is one of the regulars at your gym and a neighbor who lives close to you. Her marriage is not a happy one: you have often heard the loud arguments between her and her husband coming from their house. Today, at the gym, her frustration slipped out loud and she called herself an idiot for marrying him, then saw you and covered her mouth. She is embarrassed, unsure how much you heard, and fed up with a marriage she regrets. How far she lets you in, and what she decides about her own life, is where the story can go.
