Line 50:
Allen began to see Anne and he felt happy as he really liked her and this was his first serious relationship in a long, long time. Part of him felt guilty as if he were cheating on Summer but he had began to lose hope and he would rather have a real woman with him. In fact, he couldn't really remember how Summer sounded or how she acted. She seemed more like a dream and he had the feeling that she probably wouldn't come back. Anne encouraged him to get out more and he began to volunteer with her at the park. He began to make new friends and she even encouraged him to try things he had never tried before. Allen did not like getting out of his comfort zone as he felt it was there for a reason but he found himself taking pottery classes with Anne which he had never imagined doing before. He spoke to Nora over the phone about Anne and she was really pleased for him. She wanted to meet Anne, preferably alone but she said she could probably be okay if Toby came as long as Rose was with him. Allen arranged for them all to come to dinner to meet Anne. He had a good feeling about the dinner and he felt that Anne could even help Toby and Nora get along better. However, the dinner began to fall apart the moment Toby opened his mouth. Nora was living with Toby for financial reasons and Toby began to lecture her on how she needed to be more frugal. That, alone, would have been okay if Nora hadn't snapped and shouted at Toby making the night awkward. Another fight seemed inevitable until there was a knock at the door. Allen was glad to be able to leave, even for a moment and went to get the door. He opened the door and in front of him stood Summer.
===Summer Returns===
He had pictured the reunion for many years but now deep down, he had stopped hoping and was now not sure whether he wanted it to happen at all. He didn't know what to say and apparently neither did anybody else. His wife was standing there and he didn't have a single thing to say to her. Suddenly, Anne pulled out her chair and said something about talking it out and left. Any other day he would have stopped her but today he was overwhelmed, besides, he could talk to Anne when he had his head straight.
Summer awkwardly came and sat down and for a second nobody spoke and then somebody did. Summer began talking quickly, as if the words were flowing out of her. She told them about everything that had happened to her and Allen wasn't sure whether he wanted to shut up and let him think or whether he wanted to continue indefinitely to prevent him from ever having to talk. After she had finished, Nora stood up and went upstairs. Allen wasn't sure but she looked close to tears. Then Toby stood up and practically dragged Rose out of the door. Now he and Summer were alone. Before, this used to be comfortable they could sit in comfortable silence for hours but this was different tense and awkward; it was as if he was sitting with a complete stranger.
