I'm just following
MLC around, enjoying the stories she has popped up to the top.
This is almost a Josef voiceover, except that he's not talking to the audience, he's talking to Sarah--and to himself. What a great view into his head in a time of tremendous loss, sorrow, and disruption. This is the moment when the vulnerable Charles Fitzgerald dies and the imperturbable, cool, and snarky Josef Kostan is born. His heart remains with his lost love, though he takes her locket as a memento, and a reminder to never again allow himself to be soft.
The Josef we see in the series is a billionaire playboy, seemingly content with superficial relationships....but when Josef opened the door to Sarah's room for Mick and Beth to see, he was almost shy, knowing that he was opening to door to a part of himself that he'd kept very private. That's what made me think about what transformed Charles into Josef.
I love this; it's so deep inside Josef's head, a place he almost never lets us see. He's questioning so much, regretting so much here. And I can absolutely see him cutting ALL ties with the names Charles and Fitzgerald. 
You've given us a look into Josef's heart and soul, and shown us why Josef is the way he is now. This is beautiful and beautifully written. So many favorite parts have already been quoted, but I have to say how much I love the part about gold locket.
