In "Juliet, Naked," the protagonist reflects on her relationship with Duncan, which began under somewhat disappointing circumstances. They were both the last selections for a sports team, leading her to feel somewhat undervalued, especially since she believed her athletic abilities were superior to that situation implied. This context highlights her insecurities regarding their bond.

This initial circumstance serves as a backdrop for her deeper feelings about their connection. The notion that their partnership was established from a place of being overlooked makes her question the strength and validity of their relationship. As she contemplates their dynamics, she begins to grapple with her self-worth and the nature of love formed under unflattering beginnings.
