Question

what point of view is the passage, "Hugo marched across the parking lot just to look Margie in the eye. He wasn't all that upset, but he wanted to prove a point. "I said you could borrow the car for one hour, Margie. One! It's been four! And now I'm going to miss my cooking class!" Margie knew Hugo was just being dramatic. She knew he hated his cooking class and wished she had gotten him something else for his birthday, like a framed map or concert tickets. "Sorry, Hugo. I know how important that cooking class is to you. I apologize." "Well, O.K. That's all I wanted to hear. And —" "And next time I'll only take the car for as long as you say," she said. Margie knew the car wasn't the issue. Hugo just wanted to be right; he wanted to be in charge. She hatched a plan to take the car for even longer tomorrow just to mess with him some more. "Good, I'm glad we have an understanding," Hugo said. But he also had a funny feeling they'd be having a similar conversation tomorrow."
