Never Let Me Go 18

"We'd been thinking about the deferrals, the theory about the Gallery, all of it, for so long--and now, suddenly, here we were. It was definitely a bit scary." pg. 244

I'm really glad that Tommy and Kathy finally get together. I just hope it isn't too late. I understand how they are feeling though. Its like waiting for something you've talked about, dreamed about, and desperately wanted your entire life, then it is right in front of you. I would think that this feeling would be overwhelmingly intimidating rather than "a bit scary." It's almost like your first day of high school. While your in grade school all you want to do is go to Roncalli, and the closer you get to your first day, the more anxious you become. Then, once the day finally arrives, your completely filled with nerves. Once Tommy and Kathy finally track down Madame, its up to them to take control of their lives. They're no longer fantasizing about what could be. The opportunity is right in front of them. Thankfully, they take it. The chapters leading up to meeting Madame are so incredibly suspenseful. I really don't think I've ever read as fast as I did! I can't wait to see what happens to Kathy and Tommy and what Miss Emily's new role in the story will be.
