I’m so nosey about the details of Jon and Georgie’s relationship because everything we learn about them as a couple is kind of baffling.

We know that:

A: Georgie thought Jon was playing up his accent to sound more impressive when they met.

B: Georgie never told Jon that she didn’t feel fear or about her college encounter with the dead women, despite knowing that Jon had an interest in the paranormal. (And I can understand why she wouldn’t tell Jon about the women because it’s a crazy story regardless if you believe in the paranormal or not. But not telling your partner that you literally can’t feel fear is??)

C: They didn’t part on the “best of terms,” and Jon says he’s surprised she had nice things to say about him. Which seems to imply that their break up was either his fault or mutually messy.

D: Despite the last point, Jon “trust issues” Sims still trusts her enough to seek her help in an emergency, and instead of turning him away, Georgie lets him stay at her place rent-free with no questions asked. Which seems imply their breakup wasn’t THAT bad if they’re both willing to stick their necks out for each other a bit.

I need an entire prequel that’s just about their dynamic because what was going on. Especially because, weirdly enough, despite how odd their relationship seems like it was, I do buy that they were together at one point. They do seem like two people who would date each other, but they also seem like two people who would have a messy break up. IDK I just want more content with them and I think a drama series about their relationship would be good.

It’s super bittersweet that the girl Georgie was close with in college sounds a lot like Melanie.

I wonder if Georgie ever heard Melanie go on a rant about what a pompous dickhead Jon could be and had flashbacks to when she used to get lunch with Alex and have conversations that sounded much the same. I wonder if that familiarity is part of what drew her to Melanie in the first place.

I always love character parallels and irony, so I think it’s neat how the person Georgie ends up falling in love and escaping the horrors with is a mirror to the close friend who unintentionally pulled her into the horrors. I’m a huge fan of that writing choice, though it does kind of make me feel like staring blankly at a wall and just…thinking…for awhile.
