Aiden wonders why Cassie ran away so fast at the end of their conversation, and he remembers the last time he told someone about his scar. He thinks back to how vulnerable he was with the woman on OnlyFans. He found her at a time when he was especially lonely, and she seemed lonely too. Aiden missed her when she disappeared from OnlyFans at the exact time he was dealing with Rebecca’s death. He still thinks about Cici even though he feels foolish for falling for her.

The following morning, Cassie worries she will lose her job if Aiden finds out who she is, but she is still happy to see that he has stayed home late enough to have breakfast with Sophie. At school, Cassie talks to her friend Camila about the hypothetical situation of meeting an online friend without him remembering her. While Cassie doesn’t want Aiden to recognize her, she is still sad that he doesn’t, given the nature of their past relationship.

Cassie takes Sophie to meet Wanda. While there, Cassie reveals to her friend the truth about why she deleted her OnlyFans: She arranged an in-person meeting with her most dedicated subscriber, whom she was beginning to have feelings for, but he never showed up.
