Ton of bricks

I went to a play today with my mom. It was a two-person cast, so both actors were on stage for pretty much the whole thing. One of the actors evoked this strong sense of familiarity, and I couldn't quite figure it out until the second act.

His mannerisms, movement, build, and even his looks to some degree, reminded me of Thomas. From that point on I couldn't watch the play and see the character or even the actor... all I could see was this dude who looked like Thomas.

Breaking up was the correct thing to do. I still miss him a lot.
