Tom goes more into describing Jim and his past and affect on Tom's life. He sounds like an alright guy. He's a former, though. A used to be sort of guy who's glory days are behind him. So either he'll be full of himself or he'll be defeated. I don't think Laura would care much for the former--nothing in common with a confident fellow. But I like him. He made life better for Tom at the warehouse and I like Tom, stubborn, full of dreams, distinctively alive. He's a poet too! I guess that's what his dream is, what Amanda means by his writing. And oh, oh, oh! This is the Jim that Laura had a crush on earlier. The "Blue Roses" guy. But oh..oh no he was engaged. Which probably means he's married now. Which means Amanda will be selling the hell out of Laura and Jim will politely agree but he can never truly love her. And oh, it's a tragedy! Or at least that's what I assume.
I'm a genius. When Jim first came in he was charmed by Amanda's antics. As the girl's were preparing Tom and Jim had a conversation wherein Tom told Jim his plan to leave the apartment, to strike out on his own and leave it all behind. Jim is amused by this but doesn't think it's a good idea. And with just enough motivation, sadly enough, Tom probably will go. Too long having lived under Amanda's watchful eye and worried brow he is completely fed up. Laura at finding out this Jim was her Jim was taken extremely ill. As they tried to sit down to dinner she almost fainted and had to lie down.
