Thinking of Rowan’s comment that he can only offer her a casual relationship, Zahra tries to leave. However, Rowan asks her to stay, and they spend most of the night together, enjoying Zahra’s favorite movie, Pride and Prejudice, and talking. The next morning, Zahra hears about Claire’s own surprising romantic encounter and tells her about Rowan. Claire warns Zahra to be careful with the casual relationship to avoid being hurt.
After Zahra’s disastrous morning at work due to frazzled nerves, Rowan visits her cubicle to find out why she has not answered her texts. He discovers that she accidentally dropped her phone in the toilet. He repeats his text invitation to go on a date with him, and they meet the next night. In the car ride, Zahra tries to find out what his middle initial, G, stands for, and he tells her that his mother’s love for all things related to King Arthur led to his full name: Rowan Galahad Kane. As he talks about his mother and her relationship with his father, Zahra realizes that even if Rowan is not looking for love, he is looking for healing, and she feels that she can help with that.
