This would all be so much easier if he would only give up men. She thinks it wouldn’t be hard at all to compile a list of women from church who might be interested in seeing him socially. He’s very nice, all in all: intelligent, responsible, good-looking, dignified. Why, some of them – for instance, that Lillian Merchant, just divorced and obviously desperate, and whose lemon squares for church picnics have always been almost flavorless altogether – would be lucky to have him.
The way you manage to capture the essence of Angela in this one paragraph--the good intentions and the backhanded, painfully unbending assessments of people and how the two pieces of her heart create the person she is--is beautiful and yet so LOL.
I loved how their relationship grew in between those little vignettes too, how it grew from LOUD TYPING to hand holding. It was really, really, really...great.
Also: the Kelly cameo. Outstanding. Kelly Kapoor: Insider correspondent for the Scranton branch.
