That last line was just horrible writing on top of everything else.

And I'm trying not to think too hard about Fred. I originally thought I'd have liked a bit more about George, but then decided it was better that she didn't. I'm not sure how I would have wanted to her handle it. Would he have gone on with the joke shop? Would he have lost that spark? I don't think I want to know, because I'm afraid of the answers.

Coffee and book chat it is. Maybe sometime this weekend, if work doesn't slap me up side the head?
