✨✏️📓 Everyday is a gift. 📓✏️✨
Are the parents taking precautions?
Are people letting kids out of their sight?
How does it feel to be home?
"Talk to the parents. If you can't break anything, I want that profile on the dead girls. This is human-interest stuff, not just straight police reporting. Talk to the other parents, too, see if they have theories. Ask if they're taking extra precautions. Talk to locksmiths and gun dealers, see if they're getting extra business. Get a clergyman in there or some teachers. Maybe a dentist, see how hard it is to pull out that many teeth, what kind of tool you'd use, whether you have to have some sort of experience. Talk to some kids. I want voices, I want faces..."
pp. 80, paperback edition of Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
Something I really love about Frank Curry (Camille's boss), is that he gives her tough love. He is a father figure to her, one she never had. He gives her encouragment, he gives her guidance. In the book he calls her "Cubby." He has real concern for her well-being. In the book, Curry visited Camille in the psychiatric unit and brought her yellow roses. (Yellow roses usually symbolize friendship). In the miniseries, Curry saved Camille (and Amma) by putting pressure on Chief Vickery. Curry is also there during the rescue to provide Camille some comfort. Camille's relationship with Curry is perhaps one of the few positive relationships in the book and miniseries.
