Despite her engagement, Dawn has feelings for to senior sales representative Tim Canterbury who is in love with her.
She resigns towards the end of the second series to move with fiancé Lee to Florida to stay with Lee's sister's family.
Her story continues in the Christmas specials where she and Lee are living a dead end existence in Florida, both as illegal aliens since they aren't American citizens and barely making ends meet as it is.
She and Lee visit Slough during the documentary and ultimately Dawn decides to leave her boorish fiance for the man who loves her dearly. Ultimately she was swayed by Tim's encouragement to her to hold onto her dream of being a children's book illustrator, an ambition which Lee sought to put down at every opportunity.
