Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

"What am I supposed to do? Your dad and your brother are washing their hands off this mess. If this blows up, it's going to be an even bigger headache. All I'm hoping for now is that they take the money and disappear from my life for good!" As Beverley voiced her frustrations, she couldn't help but think back to her encounter with Roseanne and her family earlier that day...

Staring at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, she murmured softly, "If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have gone with Roseanne..."

At least that way, she wouldn't have to deal with a dreadful mom and a sleazy brother.

Hertha sighed in agreement, "Yeah..."

If Beverley had accepted Roseanne back then, maybe by now she and Murray could have been busy making pickles, not fighting over a spot in grad school.

Hindsight is always 20/20, and there's no such thing as a pill for regret.
