Ridge wakes up at Sydney’s after spending several nights at her apartment. He’s sorry he has to return to his apartment tomorrow and silently hopes for the day he and Sydney will move in together. The two spend the day together, talking and sharing songs. Ridge reveals how many of his songs are about her, which flatters Sydney. Then Sydney opens up about “changing [her] major” from music to psychology (311). Ridge loves the idea because he thinks Sydney would make a great therapist. They text their friends and make plans to visit the caves the next day.

On Saturday, Maggie worries about seeing Jake. Sydney notices she’s anxious and reassures her. When Jake arrives, Maggie brings him into her room so they can talk before he meets her friends. She explains that she used to date Ridge and that they are in his apartment. She also explains that she’s moving into a new apartment soon.

Jake is thoughtful and understanding. He assures Maggie he wants to be there and doesn’t feel uncomfortable if she’s okay with the setup. Then Jake tells her about his medical conference that morning, sharing facts about how the brain and heart communicate.
