The first time Aldo and Regan make love, she shows up to his apartment unannounced while he’s cooking pasta, and they make love on the kitchen counter. No words are spoken. They make love four more times, once on the roof, and each time is different from the last. Aldo feels totally consumed by Regan and now feels a constant need for her, and Regan has moved on from Marc and fully allowed Aldo into her life. When they make love the sixth time, Aldo has given himself over to Regan completely.

Aldo starts to find that Regan is changing his thought patterns and his perception of the world. He even thinks of her in class, which reminds him to slow down and provide examples for the students. He invites Regan home to meet his father, and she’s nervous that Masso won’t like her. Aldo assures her that Masso loves everyone and will definitely love her, and after some intimate touching and kissing, she agrees to go.
