The Forever Man (2014)
The Forever Man
“She did not like green peppers, steak (much), most abstract art, music playing while she worked—or any distraction, however slight, from the task at hand—and any failure to get things correct.
She also, Jim thought, was in love with Raoul but recognized the emotion as a hopeless one. If she was in love, it was with the image of a man she had largely fashioned for herself from the sound of his voice and the choice of the poetry he quoted. All these understandings came to Jim little by little... as he and Mary worked together, or were worked together under the direction and treatments of the staff of Amos. They came not as something directly sought for by Mary, Amos, or even by himself, but as inevitable bits of knowledge unavoidably attached to information about her understanding of Penard and her own field of work—all of which it was necessary that he come to know.
The result was that somewhere along in the process he found he had completely ceased to dislike her.MoreLess
