[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 224024, member: 102"] It seemed to amount to her getting pregnant by one of many guys. That takes more than kissing. Maybe "wild" means being a drunken slut and Clayton was being gallant. It might not be gallant, but it serves the purpose of letting the audience know what her story was. I find Clayton a more credible narrator than Jessica so I tend to believe him. Thats fine as a vacation plan, but as a life plan it's not practical. They travelled for the purpose of productive work. Didn't "get to" or didn't choose to? It's notable that when she did choose to return to "help", her help consisted of burning down his home and murdering his wife in the process. Clayton specifically said she was not in a hospital. He described it as a place where she could rest. While Jessica needed to be there, the world didn't come to a stop until she was adequately rested. He had a a ranch and oil refineries to run, so what would you reasonably expect him to do? Is he supposed to let his businesses suffer because of her irresponsible actions? Jessica's problems should not become Clayton's problems. He had already provided Jessica with an enormous amount of help, including helping her preserve her reputation. It all would depend on the artistic vision of the writer. I would hope that she wouldn't seem so cartoonish if they had it to do again. I don't know hw much of that was the fault of the writer, or the execution of the story. The execution left a lot to be desired. [/QUOTE]
