57 & 58) These two chapters are so beautiful and heartwrenching - waiting for what seems like 1/2 the dang book for them to be together again and then the thick awkwardness between them just emanates right off the pages and makes me feel heavy (like with burden or something). I just want to fix them :-) I can't say Pamela's anger is logical, Casey didn't volunteer to be lifted and he was trying to stay away, but the feeling is definitely real and understandable. Why couldn't he just breathe outside this country, that no matter what, it seems, he is destined to die for :-( Inside for some lyrics to a song that runs through my head during these chapters>>> --
