But they still have moments where theyre like wait, what arent you telling me?
And somehow, that makes their love story even better.
Jamie and Claire have a whole level of understanding built on actions, not just words.
Jamie figures out how to respond to Claires trauma after shes assaulted by Randall.
And she learns exactly when Jamie needs space to process his own struggles.
