Candy, Page 141-
"I Knew that Candy took drugs and I'd kinda guessed it was heroin, but I suppose I'd chosen to ignore it, as if it didn't really matter or wasn't really there..."
This is a Common Reaction when people find out something that they don't want to believe,
people sometimes act like its not really happening or it's not a big deal especially in situations involving drugs.
When someone is taking drugs they know that it's wrong and they shouldn't be doing it. For Candy this is just the case. She had a great life, wealthy family, good grades and even better looks but her looks got the best of her when she met Iggy. At first he seemed like a nice guy, but once she got to know him she realized that with him, it was all about the money and the drugs, nothing else mattered to him, including her.
Some people become infatuated with something and they will do anything to get what they want, no matter what it comes down to.
Joe has felt this way about Candy since the moment he set eyes on her, despite her career choice, her bad habits and her lack of self respect. He knows that she's not quite the influence he needs in his life but love is blind and all negative aspects are set aside. Candy is like his drug, He knows she's not good for him but that doesn't matter, he will do anything just to be with her.
