Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Dawn meets Willett at a Chinese restaurant. He tells her she could save the world, but Dawn doesn’t want that level of responsibility. They talk for a while, and Dawn realizes she feels good with him. They leave the restaurant to look at Christmas lights. Willett takes her to visit friends of his, an older couple known as Junior and Mrs. Junior. The Juniors serve them pie, and Junior, whose real name is Paul, tells them about making bombs and explosives. Willett shows Dawn their snakes, and they hold hands while watching a snake swallow a mouse whole. They leave, and Willett tells Dawn they are good people, and that he thinks Dawn has good inside her too.
Willett and Dawn go to a Kolonel Krispy to eat. While they are driving home, Willett suddenly gets sick and needs to find a bathroom. He is in the bathroom for a long time, and Dawn calls Aunt June to confess that she thinks Willett is strange and a little gross. Once he comes out of the bathroom, Dawn realizes that Willett has a good, kind heart and lets her disgust go.
