In this chapter, the narrator tells us about his childhood. He tells us that he used to go to the grocery store when he was a kid, and there was always someone in the store who was silent. He used to think that he was doing something wrong when he would look at her, and he would be ashamed of himself for it. One day, he overheard some old ladies talking about her husband, who had gone to war, and that he had not returned. The narrator feels sorry for himself for being so upset about this. He says that he doesn't get upset just because he and her are holding hands. He knows that she's doing this on purpose. He promises to get her out of there.
