Back from his odd day in the redwood forest, holding a piece of madrone bark with “Christopher and Therese” written on it, Nate settles in with Jane for a literary evening. First he reads one of her poems, then they discuss the story he wrote about Chris and Therese while he was in Germany. Maddie comes back from her dorm meeting, but soon everyone’s in bed and there’s some pillow talk going on between Jane and Nate.
