Hopelessly Devoted to You

"Back then, when you lost it, I used to think about it, in my head, what it would be like, if I found it and brought it to you." (Page 173)


          I've decided. Tommy loves Kathy. He just won't admit it to her because he knows they could never have a future together. Immediately, this song popped into my head. Enjoy!

     
      Of course, I realize that Tommy's case is not as extreme as Olivia Newton John's, but I still think the sentiment is there. I think Tommy has loved her for a while, but he never said anything because he thought she would not return the affection. Ruth is just a placeholder in his life to fill the void he harbors for Kathy. Ruth is a little Miss Meanie Pants anyway, but she must end up a good person, because Kathy tolerates her later in life. Come to think of it, Kathy is a bit of a push-over, so she might not care when Ruth re-enters her life after her donations. She might just enjoy the company of an old friend. I hope Tommy says something about his love to Kathy soon. But this could all be my romantic's heart playing tricks on my brain.
