Chapter 29 Summary

At the airport with Taco, Lucas contemplates his feelings for Rosie and decision to leave without waking her. If he had spoken to her, he would have asked to remain in her life. He believes this would be unfair, as “[he] would have only delayed what [is] to come, her finding someone else that could give her all the things she want[s] and deserve[s]” (346). As Lucas waits to check in for his flight, he hears Rosie calling to him. She throws herself into his embrace, explaining that she has come to confess her feelings. She confesses to her longtime crush on him, including her months following his Instagram. Lucas assures her that this information does not change his feelings, as he would have pursued her had they met at Lina and Aaron’s wedding. Rosie offers to accompany him to Spain, but he refuses. Privately, he believes he has no life to share with Rosie, so she wishes him a good journey and leaves the airport.

Chapter 30 Summary

Rosie arrives in Philadelphia, still reeling from Lucas’s rejection. She finally tells her father and brother about her new career, and her father voices his continued support. Rosie is relieved to be openly living the life she wants.
