Bailey tells Nekesa about the Breckenridge trip and her feelings for Charlie. Nekesa says that she hasn’t told Theo about Bailey and Charlie, but Theo knew that something would happen between them. Bailey is annoyed that Theo isn’t minding his own business but doesn’t say this aloud.
They meet up with Dana, who has begun dating Eli. She mentions that Charlie’s mother is out of town, so he’s having people over, and she asks if Bailey is going. Though Charlie told her his plan, she hasn’t decided if she’ll go yet. Later that day, Charlie texts Bailey his address and insists that she come that night.
When Bailey returns from school that afternoon, her mother is home alone and invites her to go out for pizza, just them, like old times. Bailey excitedly agrees. At lunch, Emily informs Bailey that her father has sold his house and is moving to an apartment in the city. Bailey is surprised to hear this, and when her mother asks when she last talked to him, Bailey admits that it’s been a few months. Emily is instantly worried when Bailey explains that she’s been waiting for him to call since she’s always the one to initiate.
