One Whole and Perfect Day Chapter 20 Summary

Restless Nights

  • None of the characters in this book can sleep, especially Lily, who's trying to have a dream about Daniel, but instead dreams she's marrying one of the old dudes from the day care center whom her mom brought home once.
  • Then the dream changes to something better—a perfect, sunny day at her Pop and Nan's house for a family picnic. She wishes it were possible for them to actually have a day like that.
  • Over at his house, Daniel "Bringing Sexy Back" Steadman has a sore throat and is dreaming that someone is watching him from the door of the senior commons lounge.
  • Stan still can't remember the color of his mother's eyes. It's driving him crazy and making him wish he'd never found that wedding dress.
  • When he asks May if she remembers, she suggests he take a trip back to his old neighborhood to see if anything jogs his memory.
