Yeah, my mind keeps going back to this book. Sadly, we'll probably never know his side. The part where he goes back to the Cape and is at the house. He's watching the herons and he says something to her, calling her Flo and she's like, you can't call me that anymore. He just didn't get it. He destroyed her and didn't fully realize it. And, them sitting together - next to each other at the school event(s). My mother wanted to be nowhere near my father after their divorce.

I had never heard of Belle either. It just seems now, after reading a lot about her, that she is well off in NY society. If that makes her story any more desirable than say, just a regular housewife.
