In this chapter, the young narrator tells us that he's still in love with Juliet. He's so close to her that he feels like they're "even farther away" from each other than they were when they were in high school. Juliet tells him that she's been trying to arrange a dinner with her parents, but they've been busy. They've forgotten to tell her something important at work. She's worried that her parents are "big bosses" at the company, and that they don't want her to tell them something important. She asks the tap tap manager why he came out of his house, and he tells her that his parents are trying to get him to sign a document that's going to help them in their lawsuit against the company. He says that he needs the document because the company's president wants to be involved in the lawsuit, which is against his company.
