Quote #10
I can hear Denny in the kitchen. I can smell what he's doing; he's cooking breakfast, something he used to all the time when we were a family, when Eve was with us and Zoë. For a long time they have been gone, and Denny has eaten cereal. (58.2)
Just as family can give you everything you ever needed or wanted, the absence of family can also take everything away from you and leave you without the will to take care of yourself or even muster up enough strength to care about anything. Or maybe Denny's just been reverting to bachelor status?
