Reading log 5
Synopsis: Montag and Mildred have a ‘conversation’ about when they first met, and neither of them remembers. Mildred tells Guy that it doesn’t matter, and goes to the bathroom, swallowing pills. Guy realizes that if she died, he wouldn’t cry. Later, Mildred tells Guy that Clarisse died in a car accident and her family moved. Guy is torn about this, and questions why Mildred hadn’t told him earlier, and she say that she didn’t remember till then. They go to sleep, and in the morning, Guy is sick (or feigning sickness). He keeps asking Mildred for aspirin, but continually forgets. He wants her to call Beatty, because he knows that if he does it, Beatty will convince Montag to go to work.
