It's morning, and the two of them are in the middle of their morning routine. They've been hanging out together for a while, and now they're planning to go out for a walk together. The narrator is bummed that he hasn't been able to eat breakfast yet, but he's glad to have it. He's also bummed that his breakfast is not as good as it used to be. He asks the narrator if he should go out and have a romantic relationship. He says he'd rather go out with someone he loves, but the narrator doesn't know what that means to him. He wants to go to the grocery store and get something to drink. He wonders if the grocer is thinking about him, "I'm tired, self . . this seems like way too much work" . He also wonders if this means that the grocer brushed him off because he didn't want her to sleep with him, and that's why she's not sleeping with him. She's so sure that this means something to him, but she can't quite figure out what it means.
