Chapter Summaries & Analyses
On the way home from their parents’ house, Tate asks Corbin to stop at a gas station so that she can use the restroom. Miles gets out with her. She goes to the bathroom, and when she comes out, he offers to buy her candy. They linger in the candy aisle and gently hold hands. When they finally head back out to the car, they make up the excuse that the line was long. Tate admires Corbin and Miles’s work as airline pilots, but Miles says her job as a nurse is more admirable. Tate thinks she’s going to have a very hard time following Miles’s rules.
Miles and Rachel amend their rule about not being intimate while their parents are home. They are physically intimate as long as they are behind a locked door. They pledge to uphold the second rule of no intercourse, but they add a third rule about not sneaking around at night for fear of Lisa catching them. They share feelings of guilt and shame because they have been living under the same roof for a month and are considered, on the outside, as family. However, when their parents go out of town for the weekend, Miles and Rachel play house, take a shower together, and eventually have sex.
