The 'boyfriend' is presumed dead, as well. But these kids shouldn't have been together in the first place. Another 'good girl' attracted to a 'bad guy,' that she can change. And who just gives two kids $40,000 to go cross-country for four months. When I was 23, I had my own apartment, living on Raman noodles and potato chips. I most certainly didn't have $40,000 to go anywhere.
