Jack Abbot is everything people describe him to be: sarcastic, headstrong, and a great mentor.
You happen to also know he’s a great lay, an awful situationship, and so full of grief it threatens to drown him every waking moment.
Just like the five stages of grief, it takes you both five separate shifts to come to terms with what your relationship is. If there is one at all.
SHIFT ONE: DOES THIS MEAN WE’RE NOT ALIGNED?
SHIFT TWO: HOLDING OUT, HOPING (DO YOU LOVE ME NOW?)
SHIFT THREE: IT ALL ADDS UP TO NOTHING
SHIFT FOUR: SETTLING IN? STARTING AGAIN? HANDLING IT?
SHIFT FIVE: IT’S ALL WAITING THERE FOR YOU (I DON’T HAVE TO READ YOUR MIND)
