Lauren arrives in Denver, wondering what it will be like to see Carter. After showering at the hotel, she heads to a bar where a male couple invites her to a bonfire they are having on Saturday.

The next day, she eats at a diner across the street from Carter’s office and catches a glimpse of him. She visits a museum but does little else, watching Netflix in her hotel room.

On Friday, she heads to her meeting with Carter. He asks her about the kind of apartment she is searching for and schedules some viewings for Tuesday afternoon. Lauren is scheduled to fly home Tuesday evening but figures this is her best chance to gain Carter’s interest. Before leaving his office, she invites Carter to the bonfire, but he—confused—says that he has other plans. When she tells him she looks forward to seeing him again on Tuesday, he informs her that his colleague will be conducting the viewings.

Lauren decides that she will try to bump into Carter that night instead of going to the bonfire. She buys a new dress and gets her makeup done, then researches all of the rooftop bars in Denver.
