Chapter 12 Summary: “Nick”

Nick drives Noah and her mother, Raffaella, to the airport for their month-long trip to Europe. Before leaving, Noah entrusts her cat, N, to Nick’s care. Nick feels Noah’s absence acutely and is relieved to receive her calls.


To combat his loneliness, Nick and Lion take a road trip to Las Vegas to visit Nick’s younger sister, Madison. During the drive, Lion reveals he is struggling with money. The next day, Nick’s estranged mother, Anabel Grason, appears and tries to reconnect, but he angrily rebuffs her. Later, Nick, Lion, and Madison spend a happy day at an aquarium, and Nick sends a selfie of them to Noah.

Chapter 13 Summary: “Noah”

While traveling through Europe, Noah maintains frequent phone contact with Nick. In one call, she suggests he speak with his mother, which angers him. In Paris, a hotel error forces Noah to share a room with Raffaella. Her mother warns Noah against becoming dependent on a man, relating it to her own abusive past with Noah’s father.


That night, Noah has a vivid nightmare about shooting her father. Raffaella wakes her, but Noah lies, claiming it was an isolated incident. Exhausted, Noah longs to return home and fantasizes about moving in with Nick, a plan she has not shared with her mother.
