about it, and heâll come to graduation, where heâll shake Darrenâs hand really warmly and hand him a book on Freud or Van Gogh or Frank Lloyd Wright in which he wrote some extremely kind note, something like: To a wonderful student, the future is yours!
5.  Heâll go to Chicago for a few weeks near the end of the summer after graduation to visit Nate (who is living in the city, where he and a friend opened a successful café/bar that has live music at night) and his dad (who is living with Gary, who is actually pretty cool, plus somehow the whole gay thing somehow miraculously stopped mattering so much after Darren went to Mongolia, not that he hung out with tons of gay people in Mongolia or anything). His first night there heâll be drinking a beer at Nateâs café/bar, and Zoey will walk in.
It will take him a moment to recognize her, because she let her hair (which is now natural light brown instead of dyed almost black) grow out, plus she is dressed totally different (just these really cool jeans and this funky, sort of loose tank top, which lets everyone see the sentence tattooed just below the nape of her neck that says in a perfectly half-elegant, half-casual handwritten font, Love saves the day ), not to mention she took out the piercings over her eye and around her lip, but kept the one in her nose, where she now wears a thin silver ring that looks kind of sophisticated and bold at the same time.
Sheâll join him at the bar, and theyâll catch up but also just sit there in silence a lot, both sensing how the two of them and this night of theirs are sort of gradually peeling away from the rest of the city here on a Thursday near the end of the summer. Once the band starts, theyâll check out a few songs (after all, that is why Zoey came to the bar in the first place), until right at the end of the third song theyâll both turn to each other and say, almost at the exact same instant, âHey, do you wantââ and neither of them will even have to finish the question.
Theyâll slowly wander around the neighborhood for a while, catching up, checking out the cool houses, sniffing the occasional wildflower, feeling like almost actual adults, until suddenly theyâre making out on a picnic table in a small park. They were both sitting on top of it, talking and looking out into the night sky dotted with silent planes. He made a little joke and they started laughing, something that for some reason compelled them to turn their heads toward each other and kiss.
Meaning theyâll have this intense fling the rest of the time heâs in Chicago, so heâll pretty much not see Nate or his dad and Gary. Theyâll barely sleep, falling totally in love, the way you can fall totally in love with the help of Chicago near the end of the summer, the whole thing so intense and steadily spontaneous that a couple weeks will go by before the future resurfaces as a thing the two of them might want to think about.
And so it isnât until the last three or four days that he and Zoey will start trying to figure out how to not just have to say good-bye to each other when he leaves, because heâs already been accepted to a Masterâs program in architecture in L.A., not to mention sheâs moving to New York in late September because she got this amazing job at an art gallery, so thereâs just nothing either of them can do right now, which somehow makes those last three or four days the craziest of all, no sleep, long talks, plus, of course, marathon lovemaking (not sex, lovemaking) sessions that seem to take place halfway to another planet.
When they hug good-bye at the airport (she drives him there, of course), Zoey totally breaks down, burying her face in his chest and half-soaking his shirt, and for a while, maybe because heâs completely exhausted, he feels sad but not like heâs going to lose it, until she gives him this kiss with lips
