Summary
Analysis
New York City. March 13, 2014. Henry leads Addie to a loud, crowded bar in Brooklyn. They share happy-hour fries and beers. Addie doesn’t want to leave Henry, fearing he will forget her at any moment. Henry asks Addie what she’d wish for if she could have anything. “This,” she wants to say.
This scene’s placement immediately after the chapter where Luc cautions Addie that he is—and always will be—her only permanent companion should make the reader wary of what’s to come between Addie and Henry; surely, if what Luc said is true, whatever good thing Addie and Henry have going between them is too good to last.
