She's Come Undone Chapter 20 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • One day at the photo lab, Dolores gets a roll of photos from Montpelier, Vermont, photos of a high-school trip to New York City.
  • This girl is hot for teacher, and the teacher is familiar to Dolores: He's Kippy's college boyfriend, Dante.
  • Dolores still has his naked pictures.
  • She looks up Dante's address and decides to up and move right across the hall from him.
  • Seriously, she moves into the apartment across from his.
  • The landlords are an ancient old couple, and the old man tries to bring Dolores into a threesome with them, but no dice, she refuses.
  • One day, she bumps into Dante outside while he's fixing his car. They introduce themselves, and Dolores pretends to not know exactly who he is or what he looks like naked.
  • She soon finds out, though, when he asks her to dinner, and then they sleep together.
  • It's all going well until he touches her foot and she gets upset, memories of Jack Speight flooding to the surface.
  • He's sweet and understanding and helps her to relax before they start again… and finish.
