I’m in tears over Pam and her dad’s conversation. You wrote that so beautifully.
I’m so glad that the chapter ended with Pam finding her courage. But PLEASE don’t make us wait long for the next chapter. I can’t wait to read about Pam’s testimony.
Many jellybeans!!!

The calm before the storm, if you can call it that. Clearly she's not calm and no wonder. However the men who do really love her and support her are there and in her corner. Loved the heart to heart she had with her dad. The kick them in the balls line made me laugh so that was good. Jim's constant support has been great to see as well.
It really feels like it's been the anticipation of this moment that's rally been the biggest thing. Having to face Roy, have everything out there in the open. For so long she hid what he did to her. No more hiding. Facing the truth is always hard.
Really glad that there at the end she seems ready. Time to suck it up, run through the fire, and come out the other side. Nice job with the set up for it all.

Not thrilled with Pam's dad's choices here. There's something I read once which described pain as the center point of a series of circles, and it's the place of folks in each circle to give comfort to those in the smaller circles and accept it from those in the bigger circles. This is a classic example of someone from an outer circle seeking comfort from someone in an inner circle, closer to the pain. It does seem like Pam got something out of it, thank goodness, but come on, Bill. Please don't put that on her, especially at this moment.
Pam and Jim's dialogue was funny - Pete being the offspring of a jackal sounds like a Halpert family joke.
I'm not going to lie to you. I'm *very* nervous for Pam's testimony.
