Reply #3: I thought that, but it didn't quite make sense

...because the couple looked individually like total losers, know what I mean? The man in particular looked like he would have rather been anywhere else in the world than where he was, as he got in on the driver's side. And the woman was hardly what one would call attractive. So I couldn't figure out why that particular family would make him think this is what he - Christopher - would be missing. In fact, I suspect that he saw this rather unfortunate example of a family as perhaps a reason or justification as to why he never wanted that in the first place and could therefore call in the hit on Ade.

The more I think about it, and I think about it more than I should I am sure, I am certain that that particular family was a turnoff to Christopher at that moment.
