My Favorite Half-Night Stand

The next morning, Reid finds Millie on the back patio with a quiet Ed. Reid invites Millie for a walk through the vineyard. She suggests they stop sleeping together because he is dating online. When pressed, she deflects by pretending she has matched on IRL with a man she calls Guy.

They return to the house for breakfast. During the meal, Millie sends Reid mixed signals by touching his foot under the table. Annoyed, Reid checks his phone and sees a message from Daisy, proposing a dinner date. He texts Millie the news, and she replies that she is fine with it. Later, while cleaning up, Ed mentions his own online match has gone silent. Millie reflects that although he is being quiet about it, Ed seems to be taking their project much more seriously than the rest of them.

Nearly a week later, on the evening of Reid’s date with Daisy, Millie is at home trying to work. Jealous and distracted, she cannot concentrate. She logs into the IRL app as Catherine and writes Reid a vulnerable letter, sharing insecurities she has never admitted to as Millie.

Later, Millie meets Ed and Alex for drinks. Ed tells Alex that Millie is Catherine and has also slept with Reid twice.
