Tony Poidomani asked James Anderson:

Just read "Never Open", there appears to be more to Nadine (Ginny's mother). Did you have thoughts as to how she shaped Ben (scorned, downtrodden, etc.) relative to his "romantic" disposition when enamored with Claire? Is there any depth there to explore?

James Anderson Ben's relationship with Nadine happened when he was younger, and the fact that she had a child and Ben's interest in having a family probably fed into that. But Nadine was an example of the kinds of relationships Ben had in the past and serves to illustrate by comparison just how much he has changed and how different his interest is in Claire. There is a bit more to this in Lullaby Road. Good question. Thanks for writing.
