Thank you so much! That’s so sweet of you! I’m glad to hear that you enjoy it. And these are some great questions.

Simon stays in Dove’s life until she leaves her hometown to move to Chicago. They are on and off friends with benefits, and Simon often deals illicit substances to Dove. He supplies her with tobacco, weed, alcohol, and pretty much anything she could want. When she moves to Chicago after high school for college they lose contact because Dove tries not to look back.

She has to return to her hometown for a funeral and they run into each other then, but they don’t stay in contact. He and his future partner, Hushpuppy, run into Dove during a trip to Chicago and she’s so happy to see he’s found himself a life partner. That is the last Dove and Simon see of each other.

After she leaves Fletcherton, her hometown, Dove doesn’t really think about Simon or anyone else still there. She left as soon as she could and she does NOT want to look back on that part of her life.

The Menagerie is set in present day! A modern story!
