not only did this never come up but old gal never even checked those photos in the attic for 45 years.
they definitely discussed the girl before. if you're just referring to the pictures existing then yeah i guess that's a little strange. i guess it's plausible that she never pressed him on it when it was mentioned earlier on in their relationship because she only knew that it was a traumatic event so she never knew the full details. but yeah it's whatever.
