The Hugging Man

Lakshmi felt like she liked the hugging man. That is because on page 176 it said that " He did not just simply stand and zip his trousers when he was finished or fall heavily asleep on top of me the way some do. He didnt fix his hair in the mirror and walk out without a word. He held me." This shows that the hugging man was special to Lakshmi. He was the only one that holded her like his lover.
