The Cheat Sheet

The days drag on as Bree waits to talk to Nathan after their jog on Tuesday. She teaches classes, watches her scrapes heal, and waits until he is free to talk. On Thursday, she manages to submit her application for the Good Factory. That night, Nathan calls, and they discuss talking about their romance but agree that talking in person would be best. Bree tells Nathan that she’s going to her nephew’s sixth birthday party the next day, and he tells her that he wants to go with her. Bree tries to encourage Nathan to take the night off and relax with a bubble bath during playoffs instead of driving two hours to attend a child’s birthday party, but he insists on going with her. 

The next day, Bree drives to Lily’s house early, armed with candy for her nephews. They’re ecstatic to see her, and so is Lily, though she scolds Bree for bringing more sugar to the party when there’s already cake and ice cream. Bree and Lily’s parents arrive, thrilled by the news of her relationship with Nathan. Her mom even made a burner Twitter account to see social media updates about them. Bree assures them that Nathan will arrive later.
