Chapter 13 Summary: “The E in Whiskey”
The next week brings B’s first day at her internship at Rye Publishing; B is convinced that she will find a way to get hired, though everyone tells her it is unlikely. She meets her boss, River Godsby, who is the son of the CEO, and she finds him kind and attractive. B and Jamie have talked on the phone every night since she left Florida, and that night, she takes off her clothes before giving him a virtual tour of her new city apartment. They ultimately have video sex, and Jamie asks B to be his girlfriend. However, B asks him to give her time to figure out who she is. Later, she will come to regret this.
Chapter 14 Summary: “On the Rocks”
