And I called him up and I was like, hey, I need a horse that's looking straight ahead at the viewer.

And he said, their eyes are on the side of their head.

Horses don't look straight ahead.

I was like, make it work.

Make it work.

I need a horse.

So Daphne is with her husband, Jonathan, and Jonathan says, oh, you know, some guy is looking at you.

It's an old guy looking at you.

And she's like, I don't care.

I could care less.

It doesn't make any difference to me.

And Jonathan, being super friendly and curious, finally goes over to talk to him and discovers Daphne.

that it is Eddie Triplett, who had been Daphne's stepfather when she was nine.

Now she's 53.

She didn't recognize him.

He only recognizes her because she looks a little bit like her mother, who was his ex-wife.

It was a little more than a year because her mom dated Eddie for a while before they got married.

So he was in Daphne's life probably for more like two years, like seven to nine.

And Daphne just adored him.

He was everything to her.
