Shooting the Moon Chapter 14 Summary

  • It's Labor Day, and you know what that means (school starts again soon). It's also time for Hollister and Jamie to settle the score, once and for all. Game on.
  • They play from the time she walks into the rec center that morning until 5:00PM that night. Phew.
  • When they break for lunch, Hollister is up by two, but by the time the afternoon rolls around, they are trading off winning every hand.
  • It's a nail biter, for sure.
  • Byrd cheers Jamie on. Finally, in the last hand, she comes out on top. Yippee.
  • Hollister tells her that she's been a worthy opponent. He's had a blast… even if he lost in the end.
  • In fact, he even gives her the scorecard so she has something to remember their games by. Aw.
  • Jamie starts to relax about Hollister going anywhere. He's stuck around this long, so she figures that's a good sign.
  • Later on, Jamie asks Byrd about the photos he's been working on—she's never seen any of his pics, even though he has a bunch of film.
  • Bryd explains that he took three hundred rolls of film over in Vietnam but he's not sure whether he really wants to develop it or not. Why would he want to remember the war?
  • Meanwhile, Jamie starts school. She's not the biggest fan of school, except for her newspaper class.
  • Usually she doesn't like writing very much, but there's a formula with the newspaper; plus she gets to take pictures and use them in her articles. It's win-win.
  • One day, Jamie arrives to the rec center and some random guy is there instead of Hollister.
  • Where'd he go? The new guy has no clue.
  • Jamie knows she'll have to ask her dad about it if she wants any answers.
