Chapter Summaries & Analyses
On Saturday, July 14, Ben is running late for his date, which he thinks is typical for anyone in his family. Dylan rides the subway with him and notes that there’s a lot of pressure since Ben and Arthur already have a great story.
Arthur is very nervous about the date, having brushed his teeth six times. He’s been wondering where they’re going. His parents begin to bicker over whether or not he should tuck in his shirt, and he leaves.
Ben arrives in Times Square 11 minutes late and finds Arthur. Their first interaction is awkward, made only more so by Arthur mentioning that he thought the green M&M attractive. He then confesses it’s his first date ever.
Ben notices that Arthur laughs differently than Hudson, which he likes. He then takes Arthur to Dave & Buster’s. He pays for his own power card, and then Arthur does as well. Ben also remembers going there with Hudson and wonders if he’ll be able to make new memories here with Arthur.
As they play games, Arthur discovers that Ben also looked for him on Missed Connections. Eventually, they end up at the claw machine, and Ben suggests that whatever jewelry they pull, the other person has to wear.
