Michael becomes intrigued with Laurie because she was completely different from any women he visualized. She present evidence of being brave by walking up the steps to the Myers residence, even saying she is not afraid of the house. She may not have known Michael cowardly sat in the house, but she did not cringe when she walked by. When she caught a glimpse of him she tried to convince herself, she was not going crazy like everyone implied.
