Unfortunately he's always been a little awkward when it comes to social interactions, and working from home doesn't help. He spends so much time alone, painting beautiful, historically accurate model trains, that half of Whitford has begun to joke that he may be a serial killer. Not exactly prime husband material.

Hailey Genest has seen most of her friends marry and have babies, and she's happy for them, but it was a lot easier before she hit 40.
