Johnny & Hester

Is the relationship going on between Johnny and Hester healthy? Johnny has unspoken feelings toward his cousin that are ones one is to have towards a lover. This started with a game that Simon and Noah had created, "Last One through the house has to Kiss Hester." The first time Johnny was forced to do this, and they tied both of them to Hester's bed, he was very reluctant to do it but after a few times Johnny started to lose the game purposely. " 'Last one through the house has to kiss hester'; maybe they realized, later, that i began to intentionally lose the game. And what did they make of the time they untied us and Hester said to me, 'I felt your hard-on'? 'You did not', I said....But Hester and i were dangerous (Iving 60)." In this novel so far there is still a lot of tension between the two cousins. We are no sure at this point if this tension will remain or if he will grow out of it. WE SHALL READ ON AND SEE.
