Heather also gave Felicity a biography about Mark’s life to fill in the blanks.

She wished she had a father to go to school interviews, that sort of thing.”

He added, “I saw her cry about it” (via New Idea).

Felicity reportedly once told a friend, “I’ve thought about telling my side of the story.

But I’m not sure there’s much point.

I don’t want to create bother for them and I like my life quiet.

I just like getting on with it.”
