Phase
Life progresses through a series of phases. Some, you talk about. Some, you don't. Some, you forget to mention not because they are insignificant or trifling but because they are huge, vast, inexplicable gawps of time and happenings that can't possibly be mentioned unless you really plan on doing a lot of talking and explaining and sum-upping. Which, typically, you don't have the time to do when you're in the midst of that kind of phase.
phase: noun 1. A distinct stage of development. 2. A temporary manner, attitude, or pattern of behavior: just a passing phase. 3. An aspect; a part: every phase of the operation.
In as concise a way as possible, let's just travel ahead a full year since Vic last had anything to say about her life. Let's not get hung up on the details. Let's all acknowledge that this phase we have just traveled through was significant and in some ways surprising and most definitely of the first definition rather than the second. Let's agree to forgo our desire for sense, logic and explanations. Let's accept that nature cannot be read aloud.
Vic got pregnant, decided that the child was exactly the right thing at exactly the right time, and to everyone's surprise, announced that she would have her baby, Jonathan and all.
Let's just move on.
