Week 4: Chapter 6: Feelers

In the story, the author uses time to tell about the main character, describe their affair, and the way he has abandoned by his love all in a short vacation in about two pages of text. Because the author explains about the things the characters do not know about one another, you know that they are very happy to be on vacation and having their fling with one another. It is odd to me that the woman, Miriam, does not want Harlan to be involved in the child's life or want anything further to do with him. I wonder if he is happy that he had some action during vacation and had a chance to meet a new lover, or if he will become depressed about the one that got away. Taking into consideration that both characters are from the same geographic location, it would not be surprising if they ran into one another in the future. I like to think this will happen and they will live a dysfunctional happy ever after.
