Chapter 25 Summary: “Aiden”
Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of cursing, illness, and sexual content.
Aiden is distracted by seeing Lucie in her work clothes and fantasizes about kissing her. He explains that a symphony is airing instead of the show, so he has the evening off. Aiden takes a pizza out of his car and watches Lucie work, entranced at seeing a new aspect of her. Aiden then climbs into the tow truck with Lucie. He struggles to make small talk, overcome. He tells himself, “I don’t know how to do this. I don’t know how to want more” (315).
Lucie is distressed after Aiden tells her not to drive him home herself. He apologizes for being awkward and says that he cannot stop thinking about her. He admits that the pizza is pineapple, which he previously claimed to hate, saying, “[Y]ou said it was your favorite […] I want your favorite to be my favorite” (316). After they admit to their mutual attraction, Lucie tells him she was hoping they could spend the evening together. Aiden kisses Lucie again.
In a comment on the show’s website, someone complains that the symphony is not as interesting as Lucie and Aiden.
