I finally like my story

Mrs. Bennet was annoying me. She was a push-over. No clue why she was leaving. A lost character. Now I'm writing from the past tense. She's older, ready to leave, and looking back on what got her to this point. She still has her doubts though, which is where the conflict comes in. The dog is still the catalyst. Only now Mr. Bennet leaves the gate open. It's always the small things.
I also rewrote the beginning and I still have to change a lot of things but I like it better.
