Janet would like Louise to move back in with her for a while. The apartment experience has been okay, but really. There are places in Janet’s town where Louise could volunteer. That would be good. Janet would never tell Louise this, but she thinks that if Louise thought a little less about herself and a little more about others, she would not be so unhappy and tear-stained all the time. Louise needs to see people who are even worse off, she needs to exercise some empathy. Janet’s new boyfriend is a doctor, so he could make sure all of Louise’s sleeping, depression, and anti-anxiety prescriptions were filled. She hopes that Louise will start being friendly and talk to him soon.
Louise says no way is she going back to Iola.
