re SH and attention: Exactly. And her not knowing the whole truth just makes it worse, really. BEcause GC has NEVER indicated to her or given her any reason to think that his relationship with YR is anything more than his trying to make a newfound relative feel welcome. He's very careful that all anyone sees is him trying to make YR's new life easier. It makes SH worse because it means she's like this over someone who(as far as she knows) is completely harmless to her and her relationship with GC. I mean, can you imagine what she'd be like if, like JW, she knew all along? *shudders* Every time she grabs his sleeve when he tries to walk away or invites herself along when he has plans I want to scream at her...I mean...that behavior isn't acceptable between the (rough) ages of 10 and 70...

I'm generally ok with angst and when it's justified, it barely registers...I'm aware of it, but if it's a natural part of the story and not above what it should be, I'm not all "angstangstangst"

And yeah...I remember your posts when you were at that point.

*should be finishing it tomorrow*
