"Mirabelle takes months to accept Jeremy, and Jeremy patiently waits. And as he stands by, his feelings for Mirabelle grow. One night, she cries in his arms when a recollection of Ray flirts with her memory, and he holds her and doesn't say a word. Where his insight comes from as he courts her, even he doesn't know. It might have been that he was ready to grow up, and the knowledge was already in him, like a dormant gene. Whatever it is, she is the perfect recipient of his attention, and he is the perfect recipient of her tenderness. Unlike Ray Porter, his love is fearless and without reservation. As Jeremy offers her more of his heart, she offers equal parts of herself in return...At this point, Jeremy surpasses Ray Porter as a lover of Mirabelle, because as clumsy as he is, what he offers her is tender and true..." (Shopgirl, 127).
Sigh...So lovely :D
In addition, he is hilarious. I mean, fall-out-of-your-seat-rolling-on-the-ground-laughing hilarious!
AND he can play the banjo!
So much love :D
