You might want to refer to Chapter Eleven in this great
novel, which is when John and Lorraine take advantage of Mr. Pignati's stay in hospital
to dress up and have a meal together in his house. John puts on a suit and Lorraine
looks through Mr. Pignati's wife's dresses to find something to wear. When she finally
comes down, John splutters out, "You look beautiful!" As they joke around, he pushes
Lorraine onto a bed and then kisses her. Note how John himself describes this
incident:
She
started laughing again right in my arms,but I stopped it by putting my lips on hers. It
was the first time we had ever kissed. When I moved my lips away from hers, we just
looked at each other, and somehow we were not acting
anymore.
Even though this
chapter is told from John's perspective, it is clear that his actions would have given
Lorraine a very clear indication that John liked her and that their relationship was
developing from a friendship into something more interesting.
