It doesn’t seem like Sarah has ever had much use for self-control. This is both surprising and encouraging.
Ah — but here’s the thing. Sarah will tell people she has poor impulse control, but it’s not really the case. All throughout her friendship and then relationship with Ruth, she’s shown no problem doing the responsible thing and exercising self control.
When she fell for Ruth but thought Ruth could never feel the same, she took herself out of the situation. Now that there’s a hiccup, where the way their relationship was working kind of stopped, she’s willing to do the work to make sure the person she cares the most about is happy.
Sarah is more than capable of resisting her impulses, she just chooses not to if she doesn’t think anyone will get hurt.
