On Saturday, May 18th, with 91 days until she can leave, Daphne reflects on life with Miles as a roommate. He's surprisingly easy to live with—quiet, considerate, and rarely home—though their apartment is cramped and her tiny bedroom is overstuffed with furniture and wedding paraphernalia from her aborted life with Peter. Daphne recalls her minimalist upbringing, moving constantly with her single mom, and how Peter's promise of 'home' had finally made her abandon that minimalism, a decision she now regrets.

At work, Daphne receives cryptic texts from Miles asking if she'll be home. She runs Story Hour at the library, finding joy in the children, particularly regulars Huma and Arham. She interacts with her formidable coworker Ashleigh, then calls her mom on the drive home for one of their now-shorter, frequent catch-ups.

Arriving home, Daphne finds Miles drunk on coconut rum, face-down on the couch. He hands her a wedding invitation: Peter and Petra are getting married on Labor Day weekend—just one month after Daphne's planned wedding. Miles speculates Petra may be pregnant. Daphne is devastated, and Miles produces wine, revealing he has worked at Cherry Hill winery for seven years—something Daphne never knew because Peter had misrepresented him as doing odd jobs.

They drink straight from the bottles and commiserate. Miles admits he had always quietly worried about Petra's bond with Peter but couldn't compete. Daphne breaks down crying, and Miles pulls her into a hug—their first physical contact. When Daphne accidentally reminds him Petra is marrying Peter, Miles tears up too. Daphne cradles his face, declares Petra and Peter suck, and feels an unexpected flicker of attraction toward him. Rejecting her offer to watch Bridget Jones's Diary, Miles insists they go out instead, saying he knows a place.
