This chapter opens with a sonnet by Aggie, in which she reflects on the different roles Penny's played in her life: enemy, ally and lover, and in which she wonders what Penny will be to her in the future. Desperate for private spots to make out now that Nick is done teaching summer school and thus home during the day, Aggie straddles Penny in the latter's closet. She awkwardly tries to remove Penny's bra, when the door swings open and Lynda catches them. She, like Rob and Nick, has been unaware all this time that their daughters have moved from friends to lovers.
