This is like a pattern with you, you know that? You always leavin’, runnin’. You never stay… ‘cause if you did, then you’d want it. You’d need it. And then you could get hurt. And left…or not left.

Anywho, Linden and Holder are complete opposites but spent the whole show in this weird limbo of we would die for each other, we need each other, but never acknowledging why.

Holder, very quickly I might add, went from, yo Linden, you’re my ride, to let me help take care of your kid and let me cry in front of you and let me help you cover up a murder. And let me tell you, when I say Stephen Holder had no clue how in love with Linden he was, I mean it.. (I do low key think he got it sometimes, but stuck his head in the sand and pretended he didn’t)

And Sarah Linden, who was hard to reach on a good day and wasn’t always nice to Holder at first, let him get under her skin and she let him in. And he stayed.

BECAUSE SHE NEVER STAYED ANYWHERE AND SHE GAVE HIM THE ONE THING SHE KNEW SHE COULD GIVE HIM TO SHOW THAT SHE LOVED HIM TOO.

MY HEART.

the saving grace for never getting that cathartic on-screen kiss is them just working together over and over

There’s a pic that exists y’all. They did kiss js
