Epoque Ch. 3

Yep, this works -- congratulations!!

Loved the idea of Harry trying to look into the mirror and count to ten, replay of Adam's line to Danny re living with yourself after killing someone -- great image. Also loved Ruth's, "We've suffered enough." You have to forgive yourself before you can really forgive someone else. And her acknowledgment that they were both complicit in George's death, overt or covert -- it's all the same.

I also REALLY liked H speaking to his (and everyone else's) quintessential fear "What if it's not enough? If we can't . . ." Among all their other problems, this may be the key issue for both of them. Having idealized and idolized each other for so long, can they let go of the fantasy and find their reality? And is that a place where they can thrive together? Always a scary proposition when you take the leap of faith called love.
