What can Eric see from the windows of his aunt's house in the novel, Tenderness?

From the windows of his aunt's house, Eric can see the signs held by his loving supporters—mostly girls, for whom he has great contempt—as well as the signs of those who despise him. News reporters also station themselves outside the house. Eventually, he sees Lori, someone from his past that he cannot quite remember, watching for him from beneath a willow tree.
