Just (the) enough
Hi, there

My question is: in this little text, should I say "just enough" or "just THE enough"? Which of THESE is right?

"In this encounter, when Tom is confronted with this truth, and then he confronts Daisy back, she can't say that she never loved him. And this is when Gatsby is a little bit weakened and Tom has JUST (THE) ENOUGH space to "kick ass".

Thank you
