How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"There's one big cabin that can accommodate three people – they'll bring in a cot. That way, we can stay together."
Again, that small shiver along Adam's flesh. (30.14-15)
Here, for the first time, we get the sense that something terrible has happened to Adam's parents. If the idea of staying all together sends a shiver through his body – instead of bringing him joy, like some of the other memories did – something must wrong.
Quote #8
He was glad now that his father had told him all the secrets. He felt as though he were part of the family. (30.16)
After he learns about his real past, the focus of Adam's memories turns from Amy to his family. This helps us understand – as Adam confirms in this quote – that he felt closer to his family after he knew the truth.
Quote #9
He looked at his father. It was impossible to squeeze his hand, of course, not at this age. But he regarded him with warmth and affection. (30.16)
This is just a sweet moment that allows us to breathe and see Adam as a normal kid living a normal life. He's just a teenage boy who loves his dad but is too cool to show it.
