It is uncomfortable, but as someone who tries very hard to be kind and also tends to date seriously... I am uncomfortable thinking back on the instances where I dated people when I wasn't ready, and the way it hurt one of said people. I guess my point is, it feels realistic to me. But sad. Very, very sad. The good news is that even though they might both feel like they'll never escape the feeling that their former relationship hangs over their thoughts and choices, chances are that they will, someday, when they least expect it.

I don't disagree with most of what you said, but in all of this "I missed you so much" shit over the last few pages, he aids and abets Eve in her expectations -- willingly, I might theorize, in order to benefit from the affection he's getting because of it. That's always been my interpretation of the main reason Eve is upset -- she realizes how she really ranks to him.

Refusing to wait for someone during a multiple-stop trip. (She paid the driver, though, which you're not supposed to do until the very end.)
