/We also learn that her mother works for an auction company and is often out of town on business, leaving Nora in the care of their Germanic housekeeper, Dorothea./
Wonderful. Your daughter has just lost her father and you leave her alone at home for long periods of time with a housekeeper. What a great parent you are.
/She asks him what his religion is, and I'm trying as hard as I can to grasp why this is a biology assignment./
None of their questions have *anything* to do with biology or even human reproduction. What kind of assignment is this?
/He makes a crude joke about her preferring it in a more intimate place, and she finally leaves./
So, in this chapter alone, Patch has gloated at Nora, hung up on her in the middle of a conversation, lied to her, refused to give real answers to her questions, made lewd comments to her, laughed at her, and intentionally provoked her.
In other words, he has done nothing but bother her, harass her, and act like a sleazy and obnoxious dirtbag.
Yeah, I sure see why I'm supposed to be rooting for him and Nora to get together. -_-
