Why does Tookie agree to the crime and what does she realize about her decision after her arrest.

When Danae asked Tookie to transport her recently deceased lover's body across state lines for a large sum of money, Tookie agreed. She loved Danae and also thought the money would help her start her life over.

Tookie's reaction:

I nearly choked. I did choke. Tears even welled up. I had not even considered what I was doing to be a crime. Grand larceny has a swell ring, unless you’re looking at the time.
