And I also that believe the first step of building a relationship is having trust. On the other hand I did not liked the fact that Laura told him if he breaks her trust that they can no longer be friends because he is just a child and she should not put too much pressure on him.
Another reason, why Maurice and Laura relationship was good is because Laura cared about him. For example, one day, Maurice showed up at her lobby because he did not have food for two days (87). It broke Laura’s heart when she heard that he did not eat food for days, so she took him to McDonald’s. While they were at McDonald’s, Laura come up with a plan that she can make him food at beginning of each week (88). Maurice accepted the offer, but he requested that she put his lunch in brown paper bag. At first, Laura did not know why he wanted his lunch in brown paper bag. When she asked him why he wanted his lunch in a brown paper bag:, he said “ because when [he sees] kids come to school with their lunch in a paper bag, that means someone cares about them.”(88). When he said that Laura got so emotional that she couldn’t even look at him. She did not know much that the paper bag meant to him because Laura “it meant nothing” but Maurice “it meant everything” (88). In my opinion
