<strong>to</strong> move. In addition, she got a job offer in the same <strong>to</strong>wn that would be beneficial for<br />

her. In the long-term, Hillary thinks that Bill should give up his dream job and sacrifice<br />

it for love and their future <strong>to</strong>gether. Bills thinks she is being selfish. He thinks he could<br />

make enough money so that they could travel back <strong>to</strong> see her family often. He thinks<br />

woman like Hillary. Hillary loves Bill, but she also loves her family. She doesn’t want a<br />

long-distance relationship with either of them. Hilary thinks that if they have their own<br />

family, it would be ideal <strong>to</strong> have other family members close <strong>to</strong> them.<br />
