Adam wasn't certain what came first with Blue--her treating the boys as friends, or them all becoming friends. It seemed to Adam that this circular way to build relationships required a healthy amount of self-confidence to undertake.

Blue tried not to look at Gansey's boat shoes she felt better about him as a person if she pretended he wasn't wearing them.
