People have feelings for others even if they are bad or good. Sometimes, our feelings change. Cody's feelings, in my opinion has changed. I think he is starting to want Lyssa to teach him how he can be successful with no eyesight. Also, I believe at the end of the book, Cody will be happy and he won't carry the burden of jealousy.

Lyssa did fall in the pool which is why Otis, the dog, was barking and whining. Cody started to learn what it was like to have Otis by his side. Lyssa left leaving Cody a bad attitude, but Cody tried to follow her.
