In this chapter, the young lovers discuss their love for one another. The narrator tells us that the two of them have been together for a long time, and that they've become very close. They've even been sleeping together, and the narrator says that he's sleeping with her tonight. He tells her that his friend isn't home, but that his work is so hard that he can't even make it home. He says that if he were a guy, he'd crush on her, and she says that's not possible. She tells him that she used to go to her family's house to look for her father, but he became like a family to her, so she stopped going back there. She says that maybe she's going to give up on her love for him.
