At the lavender farm parking lot, Peter approaches Daphne while Miles waits protectively beside her. Daphne sends Miles to the truck and faces Peter alone. Peter offers a half-apology and warns Daphne against Miles, calling him a 'mess' and revealing that Miles's family doesn't speak to him. Daphne, initially shaken by the doubt, instead grows protective and dismisses Peter with a sarcastic farewell.

Daphne walks to Miles, throws her arms around him, and asks if Peter is watching. She requests a kiss, and what begins as a performative gesture quickly intensifies into a real, charged kiss—rough, impatient, and mutually arousing. When they part, Daphne realizes Peter is no longer watching, leaving her flustered and confused about her feelings for Miles.

Back at the apartment, they prepare a salad and grill the asparagus while pointedly not discussing the kiss. Daphne eventually tells Miles what Peter said about his family. Miles visibly tenses, hurt that Petra apparently shared this private detail. He confirms his estrangement from his parents but says his sister is enough family for him, deflecting further discussion.

The conversation softens as they comfort each other. Daphne shares her longing to belong to Peter's tradition-rich family, and Miles asks her to tell him something about herself unrelated to Peter. They talk about her mother's CrossFit-filled life, her love of reading sparked by Narnia, and Miles's dyslexia and preference for audiobooks. Lingering tension and the memory of the kiss hum between them until Miles, distracted, burns the asparagus.
