And Robert didn't even realize that Darlene wanted a pond, but the second that she saw it, she couldn't stop talking about it.

She's like, oh my God, this is beautiful.

It has this pond.

It's all this land.

It's amazing.

She just went on and on about how perfect it was.

how the boys loved it to fish, how amazing it would be for them to have their own little private fishing spot, all of it.

She was obsessed.

And everything seemed to be moving along smoothly with the sale.

Weeks went by, and Robert was finalizing the details, when all of a sudden, he got a very strange phone call from Darlene.

She said she still wanted the property, she loved working with him, everything was great, but there was one small change.

She didn't want that pond anymore.

In fact, she wanted it gone.

She even asked if the owners could have it filled in before the sale was finalized.

So right there, right then, that was the moment that everything about this grieving widow story started to take a very, very dark turn.
