D'une certaine manière il est beau.' She is immediately struck by Luc's attempts to monopolize her attention, deciding that he's just the type to make a play for an attractive girl like herself even though she's sleeping with his nephew and has been for a year. ' Il avait les yeux gris, l'air fatigué, presque triste. The uncle, whose name is Luc, surprises Dominique by being less ridiculous and a lot more attractive than she expected him to be. Still, she's happy enough to accompany him when he goes to meet his uncle, a traveling businessman, for a drink at a Paris café late one afternoon. Bertrand is her first lover and for that reason she is able to maintain a certain degree of tenderness toward him which sometimes feels like love until he begins to argue about literature with his friends or strives too hard to find the comedic element in every situation. The Novel: Dominique is reading law at the Sorbonne and dating her fellow student Bertrand who, despite his intellectualism, does not appear to share her ever-present fear of boredom.
