After dinner, everyone helped with the dishes and then went off and did their own thing. Belly sat on the couch and listened to Conrad play his guitar. She was scared to ask him about his girlfriend but she did anyway. Conrad told her they broke up and she suddenly got interested in the conversation. Belly pictured her as a pale girl with blonde hair and blue eyes with “perfect cuticles and oval-shaped nails” (Han 34). Susannah said that Conrad was a heart breaker but this time it was not Conrad. His ex-girlfriend claimed that he had changed too much. I understand this better because it makes me this of when I ask my brothers if they have had any girlfriends in college. They usually tell me no and to never ask that question again.
