Grief affects people differently and in different ways. Who is to say how any of us would react to our partner being murdered just as we were about to make a new life for ourselves...?

Johnny did the same with Andy. Threw him off a flyover, paid for the funeral and even attended. I don't think that Johnny paying for the funeral is him being cheeky, or rubbing Sharon's face in it. I think it's more that he's incapable of understanding the effect of Dennis's death. Logically he knows it will devaste Sharon, but he is incapable of empathising with that. He sees it as it was his right to kill Dennis, and he's now doing the respectable thing by helping with the funeral. He's cleaning up after himself you could say. Dennis is dead, the funerals sorted, everything can go on as normal now for Johnny.Quote:

Oh, right. That's a different point. You're probably right there. :)Quote:

Exactly! And with Dennis, he didn't mean that much to anybody else on the square, rather than Sharon. A few others liked him, but Sharon is his wife. I'm sure she feels that nobody else understands her hurt. And you don't always want to talk about these things with other people, sometimes you feel it's best to shut everybody out and be on your own with your thoughts. What they had is between her and Dennis.Quote:
