Hopefully  this makes sense and good luck.  
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Assuming that you're talking about the passage about Joe Wilson and his mates, the inference that you can make is : The narrator was attracted to Mary.
You can see it on how the narrator said that his heart skipped when he saw Mary, etc
