Mary and Bobby: Mary and Bobby were high school sweethearts who went out for over two years. Mary broke up with Bobby in their senior year because she was going away for college and he was staying home. Bobby never lost his love for her and was still heartbroken after many years. Later in the book, I learned that they had slept together and she had become pregnant, but had an abortion because they went to a strict Catholic school. Mary also admitted later in the book that she still had feelings for Bobby.
Trish and Bobby: Trish and Mary weren't the greatest of friends, rather in high school they were acquaintances who were cordial to each other. As soon as Mary and Bobby broke up, Trish pounced on Bobby. Now, years later they are still together, but a different side of Bobby has come out. Both his mother and his sister believe that he is abusive because he has had his heart broken before and doesn't want it to happen again, so he intimidates Trish so she can't leave the relationship.
Mary and Anthony: Mary is investigating the Trish case when love pops up in an unexpected place. Anthony is the son of one of her clients. One night, Anthony gives his mother and Mary a ride home. Mary had had a long day, so Anthony took her out to dinner. Mary had heard from his mother that he was gay, but in fact he was straight. He just loved nice wine and cooking. Mary had a little crush on him. At the end of the book, Mary finally realizes that she doesn't want to be the girl who ends up alone, eating Ben and Jerry's in front of the TV watching tear-jerker romantic movies every night. By the absolute end of the book, Anthony and Mary are dating.
