Jeffrey Eugenides Quote

Anyone have some mints or some gum? Bonnie asked. No one did, and she turned to Joe Hill Conley. She scrutinized him a moment, then, using her fingers, combed his part over to the left side. That looks better, she said. Nearly two decades later, the little hair he has left remains parted by Bonnie's invisible hand.
