In her mind, she recalled the words Arnold had once spoken. He had told her that on the night she left Wavery, Dexter had attempted to give up on his own life.

Such decisiveness, it even took her by surprise, leaving her astounded.

Is the reason for his poor health and heart issues related to that night? Josie’s mind was a tangled mess. After some thought, she decided to give up and dialed Justin’s number.
