People were moving outside of the city city.

For sure.

And obviously the move to New Canaan was supposed to like bring them out of the city that they saw as having rising crime rates.

But Vincent also hoped that the new environment and higher, you know, the higher caliber of community is what he felt it was would encourage Kitty especially to meet a nice man and get married.

Yeah.

Have some kids.

And to that point, Kitty had gone on a handful of dates with boys at school, but never anything serious that lasted more than a few dates.

And in truth, the thought of dating, quote, filled her with troubling longings and queasiness.

She's like, not for me.

So to Vincent and Rachel's great surprise, when they announced the move to Connecticut, Kitty said no.

I'm not moving.

Hello?

Yeah, she frankly told her parents, I can't go.

I feel free in New York.

I'm alive here.

Aww.

And at first, the thought of their daughter staying behind in the city was out of the question.

She was an adult at this point, and, you know, if she wanted to live on her own, there was really nothing they could do to stop it.

Yeah.

They could try to convince her, but you can't stop it.
