She had to try and be happy before, as a show, she couldn't be that way on her own. But the lights, the tiny lights twinkling behind glass, they're kind of like her lights, inside, begining to shine for the first time since her childhood.eric1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/13807078704660045859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-1108564141989469882007-08-12T13:18:00.000-04:002007-08-12T13:18:00.000-04:00Michelle, this read all along kept me wanting more...Michelle, this read all along kept me wanting more a it still does but like Charles says Josette's pleasure from watching lights that she had to make no effort to get that pleasure is an ending of sorts.<BR/><BR/>To me she is being presented with a fork in the road and as an extrapolation on my part she will have to decide soon whether it is time for her to move beyond all of the bullshit that is her life and make herself into someone new or leave things stay as they are. It seems as if she is coming to a new awareness of self, like the still being able to feel the Opal on her finger, she may be beginning to think it is time to take her life off and put it in a drawer, move on let Josh live with his life, such as it is. <BR/><BR/>I especially liked Coly turning pale when that little piece of dialog came about, just what had Josh told her and maybe he told her a bit, she seems freak enough not to be anything but a bit jealous about Josette and Josh. But Josh sounds like he also desperately wants some thing new as well.<BR/><BR/>Just all in all a wonderful story that made me think of so many ways their lives could go. Writers contract fulfilled.<BR/><BR/>Peace<BR/><BR/>TWMthe walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-12101022988423618002007-08-12T12:53:00.000-04:002007-08-12T12:53:00.000-04:00I like the simple pleasure indicated by her watchi...I like the simple pleasure indicated by her watching the lights. This character is quite a contradiction in some ways, but certainly interesting. Close to real life, I suppose. :)Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
