Title: Chapter 13: Holding On and Letting Go
Okay so. Toby needed to go. I'm wary of everything that's happening with Mac, and I'm not sure I like Jim threatening him, especially if maybe possibly they might be able to trade and coexist for a little while. But Toby needed to go.
This is my once a chapter swoon over Isabel and Brian. She wants him to fix her chair. You do realize that they are like the "10% Jim and Pam per episode" and I am HERE FOR IT.
"With practiced ease, there was no space between them to define where one ended and the other began; just the existence of them. Singular." A lot of lines stood out to me in this chapter, but this one just really reminded me that at the very core of this story, there is a them.
Jim identifying and admitting that Pam is stronger and braver than him? And watching him struggle with potentially losing her, and not wanting to be the leader anymore? My heart is breaking.
And then you named the baby Jack and it HEALED MY SOUL. Wow. Okay This chapter was a RIDE.
Author's Response:
Oh, I could go write a chapter on Isabel and Brian alone but I restraining myself, and just sprinkling it in.
I'm glad you are seeing that message of Jim and Pam being one unit throughout, as it truly is a central theme. Even the goose story, of one not being able to exist without the other, is a nod to that.
The baby just HAD TO be Jack, right? ;)
