I can't believe you remembered that! *G* >> > >><b>That�s cool! >> >>Okay opinions, comments and questions leave me a lot >>of room to manoeuvre in. So, please forgive my >>transgressions.

And >before she could, he brings out the L-word, and asks >her to be his girlfriend again. (She's moved out of >his flat by the time all of that took place.) > ><b> I remember a >>distinct hallway scene, where Jay gave her an >>ultimatum to end it because he wasn�t going to wait >>for her much longer. Or something to that effect. So >>if she feels this fatal attraction to Jay, what�s >>stopping her from doing what she wants? From packing >>her bags and leaving Adam�s flat and heading straight >>to Jay�s bed? And again relying on my poor memory, >>but I have the impression Adam wasn�t much of a >>pleasure man in the sack, unless it was his pleasure. >>So if you want me to believe Katie cared for Adam >>enough to feel guilt, you have to do more than just >>have her stay with him for however long she has.

But she did move out after this >interlude with Jay, telling Adam she wasn't >comfortable with the whole exclusive relationship. >She needed her space. (Very 60s explanation. *G*) >He seemed to take it well, said it was cool, and asked >if they could still see each other, the way they would >see other people. She said yes, thinking he'd find >someone else. Plus, she genuinely liked him, and >wanted to be his friend. (I know, how lame.) Jay, >meanwhile, was out of the country, wrapping up the >last tours his old band was contracted to do. >> ><b>>Okay lets say I perceive that she has feelings for >>Adam, and can understand that is part of why she >>stayed with him but�she knew here (the right thing to >>do) that Adam wasn�t for her. What else I don�t get >>is how long her and Adam have been together where they >>both think of themselves as an exclusive couple. And >>if I recall something else correctly, Adam wasn�t too >>upset when they broke up, he was more upset over the >>fact that he �lost� her to Jay. Guilt is a powerful >>motivator, not doubt about it, but I don�t get the >>point of the guilt here. I guess what I�m trying to >>say is this. Katie has so far in my opinion come >>across as strong, decisive, and the kind of woman that >>would go after what she wants. Her coming from the >>Haught proves that. It�s an era where free love rules >>and attitudes about sex are quite liberal, so the >>guilt does seem a bit false to me. What is the guilt >>in response to? Her acting on her attraction to his >>best friend or her not feeling the same thing toward >>Adam that he does for her? And yes, I get the kiss >>between Jay and Katie wasn�t like something she ever >>experienced before. But still, I imagine that any >>instant attraction that feels this right isn�t >>stoppable. Both Jay and Katie made a conscious >>decision to have that second kiss and for Katie all it >>took was a look at Jay for the guilt to be swept away. >> If she has feelings that are strong enough for Adam >>to make her stay with him despite what she feels for >>Jay, the guilt seems a mockery when she asks Jay to >>kiss her again. Maybe if the guilt came afterward, >>but not during the kiss, because she did recognize it >>as something special, because it was the turning point >>in her feelings toward Adam, because she wasn�t ready >>to forget how Jay made her feel and because she didn�t >>want to hurt Adam. If that makes sense.</b> > >This makes perfect sense. I think perhaps that's >what's been worrying me about this bit. I liked it, >but there was always this niggling little feeling that >something wasn't quite right about it. I think you've >found it. The guilt should come after. And it ties >in very well with her decision to move out of Adam's >flat. Yes!! > >Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's it!! > >Tons o' hugs!
