During Dee's stay in Italy with Pasquale, they get to know each other really well. In the beginning, Pasquale was interested in Dee simply because she was an american and she looked beautiful. I knew that because this is a fictitious book, they would end up falling in love. But the fact that this book started out talking about Dee's arrival to Italy, and how Pasquale was attracted to her in the beginning just by her looks gave me the impression that this may work out in the book, but in real life, it doesn't usually happen this way.
As I kept reading, my impressions changed. "The man didn't come that day, either. And as much as he wanted to keep Dee Moray for himself, Pasquale began to get angry. What kind of man sent a sick woman to a remote fishing village and then left her there? He thought of going to La Spezia and using a phone to call the Grand Hotel, but he wanted to look this bastard in his cold eye (Walter 110)" The fact that even though he loved spending time with Dee, it got him really worked up that nobody came to get her so that she could see the doctor. Throughout the book, the love between them started to actually have a healthy basis and this was something that I didn't expect but was happy about because it made it more relatable and less fictitious.
