Quote #10
Missie knew why she didn't leave Joe. She couldn't. She loved him too much, but she could not understand why Joe didn't leave her. (97)
This is what Missie thinks soon after she cheats on Joe with Slemmons. She knows she made an awful mistake and that it would make complete sense for Joe to leave her…but he doesn't. Why, we wonder? Does he feel slightly guilty for maybe pushing her away? Or does he just not want to let her go? Love sure can be a complicated at times.
