I wanted to slap both of them because being log heads and illogical in reasoning when it came to matters of heart, personal relationship and marriage. To finally get things right and good with the man you love, only to have him die on you before you have any real good time together? I usually love her attention to detail but I wish she curbed it a little in here because it made the story drag on and become tedious especially when Jemma gets carried away daydreaming over someone’s embroidered coat or dress endlessly.
