The narrator tells us that he's in prep school, so he'll be studying one night and then going back to school the next day. He's on vacation, which means he can't go to work. He tells us he came to the company taking a holiday so he can go to the beach with his family. He apologizes for lying to him at the match-making meeting. He thanks him for loving her, and he says she'll still fall for him if he pushes too hard. The narrator says he told his parents about the family trip, and now he wants to have fun with them. He asks his dad if he can have some water and tea. He wants to treat her, but she says she thinks she's plain, but he says it's fine. He invites her to come along with them for a picnic, and she says no. She's afraid there will be too many women at the picnic.
