           Abby watches as Caroline deliberately avoids Connor’s kisses. She sees how Caroline never initiates any kissing or touching, despite her almost overwhelming possessiveness.

            Connor, of course, is oblivious. He’s too wrapped up in the excitement and novelty of ‘Hey! Wow! Girlfriend!’

            Abby wonders about Caroline’s motives. If she isn’t interested in physical intimacy, why is she so relentlessly clingy? What does she see in Connor? What does she get out of the relationship?

            Connor’s motives, of course, are obvious.

            Abby is very careful to avoid thinking about her own motives, and why she spends so much time watching, and wondering.
