Chapter 36
Karen is being scandalous, but at least in the sense that she was further from her. She tried to see the good in that, get to the practice of being a boyfriend, and that's good for us. But he feels bad when he is stroking his hair and sending his mother a handwritten note of thanks after Sunday's dinner.
Chapter 39
He doesn't remember the last time he was so close to a school. Many things have changed. PS 87 on 78th Street has a slogan, for God's sake "A family under the sun." I spend the early morning on the steps of the American Museum of Natural History having coffee and learning all about Nicky and waiting for families to get out of bed and be in the sun.
Chapter 44
There are a limited number of times when you can tell a person that you are happy for them. He has been very happy for Ethan lately and is starting to age a little. Every day has good news of some kind and today is no different.
Chapter 41
Your IKEA pillow is still labeled and is under your table on the floor. He has her in his arms and cries. You are drunk and I don't ask questions. He won't let her and her pillow depress him. Also, you feel better than I remembered. His house is a disaster, which makes me believe that he has really been growing. Now there are curtains, that's progress, and you're almost running out of tears.
Chapter 35
In his session, he told Nicky how he feels bad when he leaves his beige office. He said his reaction is common, but tells him that he is normal. But that is about a new perspective you have.
Chapter 37
She has read enough books and has seen enough movies to know that Nicky screwed her up when she told him about his wife. He is not surprised when he tells him they have to talk. Accept full responsibility for the breach, for crossing the limits of the patient and the therapist.
Chapter 42
Your first eight days together are the best days of your life. He has those gigantic Ritz-Carlton robes. He tells that elaborate story about stealing them during spring break with Lynn and Chana. He loves that he likes to tell stories.
Chapter 43
It's good that you made a screenshot of your "I love you" text message. Something changes after that night and it is as if I were so close to a pointillism painting that only the dots see, not the painting. You're still my friend, you are.
Chapter 38
He has to buy some headphones at a deli because he has to know now what Nicky has said about him and the guy who is taken forever and why so many fools go to customer service and take the headphones and he murmured, thanks , moron, and I'm out of there and I break the package and it's sealed too tight and scream and some people in the street.
Chapter 40
He thinks taking care of Nicky is going to be easier than he expects. He is a benefactor, Beck, and once a week he takes the train to the part of Queens that is still all about crack and crime for the drug addicts of the council who are trying to stay sober.
