How It All Goes Down
- America is awoken that night by Aspen. Busy girl.
- Aspen sees the penny America kept, and it warms his heart. He tells her that he still loves her and assumes he's got the game in the bag.
- Not so fast, says America. She tells Aspen that he "took away [her] dreams" and now expects her to run back to him as soon as he says so (25.29). It's not going to be that easy.
- Aspen thinks that America has chosen Maxon over him, but she explains that it's not so simple. She's not choosing either of them—she's choosing herself.
- Aspen doesn't give up, however—he says that this will only make him fight harder. He leaves the room.
- And then Maxon comes in, and he and America start making out? And then Aspen declares his love for America in front of the royal family? And then America picks up an electric guitar and starts shredding over the closing credits?
- Nah—the book's just finished, unfortunately. We'll be picking up the action right where we left off in the next entry in the series: The Elite.
