*happy sigh* More Kim fic! My Kim love grows daily, and more fic only feeds it:)
This entire story has such a nice progression inside Kim's head -- the way she slowly works through the process of realizing this isn't the way things are supposed to be.
his words gentle on the surface, but Kim could see the steel underneath.
That's a great image. Also, it bugs the shit out of me that he calls her "Kimberly." I don't even know the guy at all and you make him pretty damn creepy.
LOVE the part where she thinks about Teri and Jack's respective reactions. Perfect. Also, to echo well, everyone else, the cage metaphor works so well here, as does your show not tell treatment of the idea that in order to get out of a cage, you have to realize you're in one in the first place. Big yay for fic prompts!
