A month later, Six and Daniel are in his parents’ kitchen. She whispers to him that she does not think his family likes her. Daniel assures her that they do. Daniel’s father enters the kitchen and exclaims that they cannot stand Six, but then he says that he is joking and that they like Six a lot. Daniel groans about his father’s joke, but his father continues, stating that he is proud of Six for not having sex with Daniel yet.

Six, embarrassed, asks Daniel if he has told his family that they have not had sex yet. His father says that he knows only because Daniel comes home and takes a long shower each night after their dates. Daniel’s mother and sister arrive with pizza, and Daniel’s mother also references Daniel’s long showers, embarrassing Daniel and Six.

As they sit around the dinner table, Daniel tells his family that he hates them all and hates everyone but Six. Six states, “I hate everybody, too” (91). This phrase elicits a strong reaction in Daniel as he realizes that Six is Cinderella. No one except Six notices Daniel’s reaction, and she asks him if he is okay.
