Part 4: “Summer to Opening Day”

Part 4, Chapter 29 Summary

The next day, Evvie waits for Dean at the kitchen table. When she hears him pull up in the truck but fail to come inside the house, she wonders what's wrong. She goes out, and he asks her to sit inside with him. He confides he has been contacted by the Philadelphia Phillies who want him try out for their team. He is surprised by this, though Evvie is certain that he will return to pitching.

They kiss in the truck and decide to go into inside and up to her bed. As they go into the house, she finds herself thinking about all the little mementos of experiences she had with Tim, including her time in their bedroom where most of her memories of Tim were quite unpleasant.

Holmes records the playful experience Evvie and Dean have as they take their clothes off while kissing.

Evvie asks if she can go with him to Connecticut for the coming tryout. Dean says no—he wants her to be there waiting for him when he comes home.

Part 4, Chapter 30 Summary

Evvie and Dean decide that, before he goes for his tryout, they will invite Andy and Monica for a cookout. Prior to the meal, Evvie's mother Eileen calls and says she would like to see Evvie in September when she comes to Maine.
