Why We Broke Up Chapter 12 Summary

  • Somewhere deep in the breakup box is a coin of unknown origin. Min reminds Ed that this is a token of an afternoon they spent at Cheese Parlor.
  • Flashback to Cheese Parlor: Ed is about to meet Min's friends. This should be good…
  • Min is sitting with Jordan, Lauren, and Al, waiting for Ed to arrive; she begs her friends to be on their best behavior.
  • Ed has arrived, but Min's friends are not on their best behavior. In fact, they're somewhat hostile.
  • Ed remembers the Cheese Parlor has a jukebox, and he paws through Lauren's purse for change. Everyone at the table looks on in horror, including Min.
  • Ed's at the jukebox; Min is making excuses for him; no one's buying it.
  • And Ed's back at the table. He chose a dumb song and Min is embarrassed.
  • Ed puts the coin on the table and observes that it didn't work in the jukebox. (You know what else didn't work? His relationship with Min.) No one is surprised.
