“Good-Bye,” “The Five Senses,” and “Other Worlds” Summary
Madeline decides to run away and writes an apologetic note to Pauline. She sneaks out of her house early one morning before her mom is awake and summons Olly outside from his room, and they kiss passionately in his yard. They go up to Olly’s hiding place on the roof of his house. Olly is angry at Madeline for leaving her house, concerned about her safety, and Madeline lies to him, saying she found experimental medication online that will help her function in the outside world for a few days. Olly relaxes after hearing this, and he shows her a model of the solar system, called an orrery, that he built.
