Chapter 25 Summary

When Mike and Storrow arrive at Mattie’s trailer, they are stunned by her beauty. The group prepare for their picnic and play Frisbee. Mike retrieves Mattie’s boombox so that they can dance. Mike is once again stunned when Mattie starts dancing. He thinks about everything he has missed about life after four years of grieving.

The group cook their steaks before the storm rolls in. They all agree it is the best meal they’ve ever had, and Mattie tearfully expresses her gratitude for everyone’s help. While bringing Kyra up to the trailer for her nap, Mike sees a blue car pass by. The car has a bumper sticker from Buddy’s Diner. Mike expects that everyone else in town has gone up to the nearby church for Royce’s funeral. Mike can hear them sing their hymns.

After putting Kyra to sleep, Mike finds Mattie in the doorway. Pressed together in the narrow space, they both express their mutual desire for one another. Mike promises to come back later that night, admitting how lonely he has been. They kiss as the rain starts to fall. The men outside ask for help in carrying the things in. Mattie heads out first to help. Mike hears thunder, then gunfire.
