What was with the second chapter from the end? From the way he was talking about marriage and commitment, it almost sounded like he was talking about Laura and coming to the conclusion that he wanted to stay with her, but he was saying this to some random chick and asking her to marry him. I assume that he's supposed to be confused and scared about commitment and is just jumping at the first girl that strikes his fancy, but trying to justify leaving an important relationship with a woman who's just done something huge for him by acting like he's just completely fallen in love at first site. Then he never seems to deal with this afterward and I'm left wondering just what the hell is going through his head and what it's supposed to mean for the end of the book.
