The Sky is Everywhere Chapter 12 Summary

  • Lennie returns from work to find Joe and his older brother, Marcus, carrying items from Lennie's house onto their lawn.
  • Gram emerges and explains that they are going to remove everything that could possibly be unlucky and perform a cleansing ritual.
  • The boys seem happy to go along with it, and when Gram tells them to get their third brother and their instruments, they oblige.
  • Gram takes their departure as an opportunity to kindly remind Lennie that she should be cleaning Bailey's things, or to let her do it. Lennie snaps at her.
  • The Fontaine boys return and everyone eats dinner. Lennie is jealous of the way the Fontaine boys interact with each other, when she doesn't have her sister to banter with. This gets her thinking about how Bailey will never know the Fontaines, and she's suddenly so sad she runs away.
  • Joe follows her.
  • Lennie asks why Joe's been hanging out with her all the time, and he says he likes her. (Yay.)
  • He asks if he can take out the rubber band that holds her ponytail, and then does, very sensually.
  • Lennie asks about Rachel and Joe says, "What about her?" and wraps his arms around her.
