Hang in there #Pharper peeps
This week was always going to be bumpy. Just gonna start with that. I mean all of us right now really
But in saying that, a couple things:
Harper is terrible at sticking her dismounts from Phil. Is this like the 3rd or 4th time she's tried to break it off now?
Adrenaline fuelled clarity isn't what it seems sometimes. I mean yes you can gain clarity from your life flashing before your eyes, but that level of stress will also make you revert to habit and what you know in a sympathetic nervous system overload. Harper, overwhelmed with guilt basically in the middle of fessing up to Drew, is clinging to what she knows.
Time without Phil is the next revelation. Harper doesn't know it yet but she has been permanently changed by loving Phil. You can't go back no matter how hard you try.
I think we're in Act 2 of Phil & Harper and it's no-where near over.
This is just my rambling thoughts tonight while I admire the depth of emotional delivery Ria Vandervis is capable of in screen arts.
