The next morning, the two men discuss the business plan, which they have been working on for a long time. They decide to make a new proposal to the client the following day, but they have to wait until the next day for a revised version of the proposal. The two men go to bed, and the narrator tells us that he was worried that the relationship between the two of them would not be strong enough to handle the distance, but now that it is, they are more independent than before.
