Husband Cory is not understanding at first but with the help of his boss he does support her. Mell and her tutor (Laurie) became more than student and tutor. Laurie is a Christian and she prays before each lesson and prays for her student. They share their history and when Laurie has a family emergency she needs to go out of town for a while, the literacy coordinator continues to tutor Mell.
