On Page 141 in the Novel,The Flowers; Silvia is telling Sonny how she feels about living with Cloyd.
"I'm not happy here. I'm alittle bored, I just need to get out some." She said that more like a question and left it there to see if Sonny would say something to confirm her feelings.
Silvia spends alot of time getting dolled up to go out. I feel that she may be seeing another man behind Cloyds back. She seems to have realized that even though Cloyd provides money and a roof for her and Sonny that the fun of being in a relationship has burnt out. She was use to being wined and dined and now Cloyd expects her to be home. "He thinks I should just be here all day and dust." p141
Cloyd never really asks Silvia where she is going or who she is with. He seems to show that he is bothered by her being gone when he gets home but I never read that he forbids her to go out. He will ask Sonny her where abouts but only Sonny. She seems to always leave while he is at work but tries to get home before he gets back. I'm not sure if this relationship is going to last. Maybe Silvia will realize that by her and Sonny being unhappy their life at The Flowers is not worth the stability she seeks from Cloyd. She made it on their own before Cloyd and maybe now that Sonny is becoming a young man he will be able to help Silvia if they were to get out on their own.
Stability is always a plus but when it comes from someone who is making it unpleasant then it can be more damaging than good.
