Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Zanders and Maddison have a FaceTime call with each other before Stevie comes over with Rosie. Maddison notices the flowers and candles on the table and teases Zanders about having a date. Zanders argues with this interpretation, but after the call, he puts away the flowers and candles, cancels the chef he hired, and orders an array of takeout food instead. His phone rings. Because he doesn’t have Stevie’s number yet, he answers and is shocked to hear his mom’s voice.
Stevie feels nervous before going to Zanders’s place. She knocks on his door, but he doesn’t answer. When she calls him, he doesn’t pick up, but she can hear his phone inside. Frustrated, she tries the knob and lets herself into the unlocked penthouse. Zanders emerges from the bathroom in a towel, and she immediately notices that he’s upset. He apologizes for not answering her, explaining that he didn’t hear her over the noise of the shower. He tells her to help herself to beer in the fridge while he changes. Meanwhile, Stevie studies his framed photos.
Zanders emerges, and he and Stevie chat. He tells her that his mom called, but he doesn’t want to talk about it.
