“But he came back. He came back all week at breaks, at lunch.”

I think this part of the the book was a particularly interesting seen because we can see Kevin’s relationship with the narrator really begin to flourish. It was kind of strange how they first began interacting at the beginning of the scene, with Kevin just asking the narrator to accompany him to the truck and then surprising her with food. By giving her the food, it opened up a really serious and personal conversation between the two, where they both learned a lot about each other, their jobs as well as interests. We learn that the narrator was in a nursing program, and actually performed pretty well in school but simply didn’t have enough interest to continue on. We learned about her job, and her past jobs. And, I thought it was especially interesting because Kevin would come back whenever he could to see her. This was the start of them developing a potentially very special relationship and it started in such a sort of nonchalant way. It just seemed to be a casual lunch conversation, or Kevin providing the narrator with what he could to feed her and it ended up going significantly deeper than I had originally anticipated. I think this was a very interesting example of character relations growing.
