something i really loved about this issue was getting to see more of john and bridget together. this is the first conversation they've had that really solidifies them as a couple. it shows the reader what they can be with each other when things aren't terrible. they have some great chemistry in this scene! in addition, it's clear that bridget still loves john. this was something that issue #7 left very vague, and i think it's good that we were left in the dark on that for a bit. she clearly cares for him and wants him to get better, and even asks him if he thinks it's safe for him to be around her and tyler! she wants the best for him and misses her husband. i really didn't expect to find myself loving these two's dynamic when i started this book, but i'm thoroughly obsessed now.
