If he had pre-planned all this (which, obviously he did), and they had talked about it (which obviously they did), I wouldn't be at all surprised if she were having second thoughts. A flirtation through secret draft emails and instagram is one thing...becoming a fugitive is a whole other ball of wax. I'm sure she had to be scared to death to actually do this. And I'm also sure he went into over-drive reassuring her. Maybe even guilted her..." WTH? I lost my job, left my wife, took out a loan on my car, did all this planning and plotting, and now you chicken out? I did all this for you!". Blah blah blah.
