Evie offers to be Drew’s date for the formal—the origin story of their friendship. He continues to give her Heathcliff vibes—that is, he reminds her of the character Heathcliff from Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights: “not the villainous, vengeful, revenge-fueled stuff—just the untamed moodiness and unpredictability” (102). Still, Evie feels safe around Drew; with Oliver, she worries she will lose her mind. Drew invites Evie to shoot astrophotography on Saturday night.

Drew looks at the photo Evie took of him and warns himself not to get attached. Drew sees Oliver watching them, “a juggernaut about to mess with her world” (105). Oliver invites Evie to a café, pushing her and Drew apart.

At the café, Oliver tells Evie that the website with the photos of Bree is gone. He hints that taking the website down is how he got his black eye. When Oliver offers to help Evie with her English essay, Evie thinks this “is just about the most romantic thing that has ever happened in [her] time on this planet” (109). Oliver says he’s been waiting for Evie.
