Things were going wrong between Dave and Amber before that, though. Dave supposedly served eight years in the USMC, met Amber back in MO, and secured HUD/VASH housing for them back in Tucson.
That's right. She hates Chad, but wants to get Dave alone in an elevator.
And the picture we had of Dave made him look like his military service, if it happened at all, was in Viet Nam.
Dave be a great guy, but he looked like one of those burned-out, strung-out losers who panhandle on interstate exit ramps wearing an old fatigue jacket.
Yet Dave decided he could do better than Lady Freedom, and tossed her out.
I doubt Amber could get a ride from a truck stop serial killer.
