Chapter 12 Summary: “Olivia

Olivia and Glenda go out for lunch to discuss the column. During the outing, Glenda’s former intern shows up and greets Glenda. Afterward, Olivia texts with Colin. Olivia realizes that their texting exchanges have made her forget about Mr. Wrong Number, who hasn’t been talking to her. After lunch, Olivia takes a nap in Colin’s bed while he’s at work. She wakes up to a call from Jordyn saying she’s received a delivery from Nebraska Furniture Mart. Confused, Olivia heads home.

“Colin”

Colin joins his sister Jillian and his parents for lunch at the country club. Before their parents arrive, the siblings talk about their family and work. Colin has had a difficult relationship with his dad Thomas Beck since he was young. Thomas didn’t like that Colin attended public school and the University of Nebraska instead of a prep school and Thomas’s alma mater. Ever since, Colin has worked hard to establish himself without Thomas’s help—succeeding in finance and buying his own car and condo.

Olivia’s call interrupts Colin and Jillian’s conversation. She asks if he’s the one who sent the mattress. He admits he bought it for her, joking that he’s trying to keep her from using his bed. After the call, Jillian teases Colin, insisting that he’s beaming.
