Quote #1
The thunk, I admit it, will make me smile. A rare thing lately. (2.2)
Right off the bat, Min's tells Ed she's been sad about their breakup. Sorry, girl—smiling won't be so rare soon, Shmoop promises.
Quote #2
She told me it would be hard dating her brother the basketball star. "You'll be a widow," she told me, licking the spoon and turning up Hawk. "A basketball widow, bored out of your mind while he dribbles all over the world." (4.55)
"Widow" is an interesting choice of word, no? It foreshadows the way in which Min will grieve the relationship.
