People Watching

Milo intends to leave Prue after she falls asleep, but he gets caught up in reading her poems, written in a stack of notebooks beside the bed. He knows it is an invasion of her privacy, but he feels compelled to try and understand her. He finally drifts off, snuggled against her.

When he wakes up, she’s gone, but she sent a text explaining that her mother tried to bake in the middle of the night and nearly burned down the house. Milo asks if he can help. When Prue says that she’s all set, he decides to go home, but he can tell from her texts that she’s feeling insecure. In the past, he would have run from that insecurity, a sign of developing feelings, but with Prue, he reassures her that they’ll see each other later, both to help her and because he wants to see her.

At the brewery later, Milo and Nadia discuss their lives as they unload boxes of supplies. Nadia and Aleks almost kissed, which has her on edge. While she wants to be with him, she’s afraid that he’s too nice a person for her—she says that their childhood made her hard.
