I have to say that at first I didn't really understand what you meant when you said "closure" with the Adam situation -- like, I was thinking, does she need to hear the Earl say that no, he didn't really care about her/anybody? But when I figured it out, I completely understood why -- it felt very real to me. She knew it was true on an intellectual level, but emotionally there was such a powerful dissimilarity between the Earl and Adam that it was difficult to get over it because -- emotionally, she just can't make that connection.
I thought you did an amazing job with it and I wanted to tell you. ♥
