"For a start, Tommy and I finally started having sex."
-Page 238
I realize that Kathy and Tommy are the same age. However, I can't help but get a picture in my head that Tommy is a lot older. Almost like he is living in a nursing home, and Kathy is his nurse. Maybe the fact of Tommy's health deteriorating is why I see him to be an elderly person. So one might imagine how I thought it was strange that Kathy and Tommy had started to have sex and act like a real couple. He was the donor/patient and she was the carer/nurse. Even though it wasn't really unexpected, I still was somewhat surprised, based on the circumstances. Kathy had taken the address that Ruth gave them for Madame's house. She had done some detective work and in fact saw Madame. Kathy and Tommy are going to find her and talk to her. I'm sure this must be very nerve racking for them, but like they mentioned, what will they do even if she gives them more time?
