For several weeks, they communicate by letter and phone, until she invites him up to Boston for the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Neil’s Aunt Gladys cries at the news that he will not be with his family for the holiday. Neil meets up with Brenda, and the two check into a hotel under the names “Mr. and Mrs. Klugman.” But, as soon as they enter the hotel room, Brenda tells Neil that her mother has found her diaphragm in a drawer under a pile of sweaters. She shows Neil two letters she has received, one from her father ,Mr. Patimkin in letter to Brenda: "I am willing to forgive and call Buy Gones, Buy Gones
and one from her mother, expressing their dismay at this discovery. Brenda insists that she can barely face her parents after this, let alone continue to see Neil. Neil picks up his bag and leaves the hotel.
