For this blog I read chapter 6 of Fitz by Mick Cochrane. At the start of chapter 6 Fitz tells his father to go to a coffee shop drive through and get himself some coffee. While he is ordering Fitz notices how polite and pleasant his father is to the girl who is working. This confuses him because he cannot understand how he seems to be such a nice person and can't even take the time to talk to his son every once in a while. He can't figure out what prevented him from doing this. Fitz refers to this problem as being the central mystery of his life. This sparks some hostility from him that surprises himself when Curtis asks what people call him, and he replies with orphan boy. At the end of the chapter, Fitz tells his father to call into work sick today. "I have plans. Big plans." Is the last thing Fitz says, which makes me wonder what he has planned for his first day with his father.
