Oh tortured Jim. Reeling from everything there and yet he still wants to hold onto hope. Great way to get into his thoughts. When I read the chapter title I thought he would head back upstairs and see the shredded letter and more angst would ensue. Though it remains to be seen if someone else sees that. And we still have to deal with the jerk that is Toby in this fic. Should be interesting to see where we go from here.
