On the day she was set to leave for England, she was given Edmund's broken glasses by his mother. It was this that caused her to leave the United States in the search for something more. Dani blamed herself for his death as a result, and in her trauma she repeatedly envisions a dark Edmund with lit glasses in any mirror she sees. In his anger, he stepped out of the vehicle, into the path of an oncoming truck that darkened his face and features whilst illuminating his glasses. After leaving the restaurant and entering the car, Dani explains that she can not marry him because she doesn't feel the way she's "supposed to". During a dinner in which Edmund prompted her about the wedding planning, Dani admits that she does not want to get married. Prior to 1987, she became engaged to her childhood best friend and sweetheart, Edmund O'Mara. In addition, right before she moved to London and began her job as the Governess of Bly Manor, Dani originally worked as a fourth grade school teacher in America. She was very close to Edmund's family, which she somewhat saw as a substitute for her own dysfunctional family. As a child, she became friends with Edmund O'Mara, who would eventually become her fiancé. This accounts for her autonomy and independence, as she states that she has had to be her own parent. Dani experienced loss very young as she lost her father around the age of eight, and her mother became absent because of it.
