John’s reaction
At first, after hearing Donna’s excuse as to why she got into this car, John didn’t know what to think. He was sure that he never heard Donna telling him that she was trying to get a new job at another boutique out of town. It would explain why she was dressing nicely though, to make a good impression.
In the moment of the intense conversation, John believed her story for now. Donna was angry at him though for spying and claimed that this had seriously damaged the trust they had between them. It seemed like John really didn’t know what was going on, but he still felt like something wasn’t right and Donna was covering things up.
