Cam and Dusty enter the sparkling Ashwood gala, where Dusty’s appearance draws stares. Dusty asks what Cam’s parents will think, then takes her to the dance floor. He surprises Cam by waltzing and explains he learned in high school for the chance to attend events with her, calling being with her a privilege. When Cam tries to define them as friends, Dusty admits he cannot be just friends and says the only thing keeping them apart is Cam.

Lillian and Rutherford Ashwood interrupt, and Cam instinctively pulls away. Lillian critiques Cam’s appearance as “comfortable,” and Rutherford questions Dusty’s presence, saying he doesn’t fit in. Dusty states he is Cam’s plus-one as Cam’s parents herd them off the dance floor. Lillian suggests introducing Cam to other bachelors, and Dusty pushes back, saying Cam is his concern.

As a waiter passes, Lillian stops Cam from taking fried food, and Dusty openly confronts Lillian’s behavior, saying he is done ignoring how they tear Cam down. Rutherford asserts Dusty has no right to speak to them, and Dusty counters that Rutherford has no right to belittle others. Dusty takes Cam’s hand to leave, and when Lillian orders Cam not to walk away, Cam asserts, “Tonight, I do,” encouraged by Dusty’s look.

Dusty leads Cam through the lodge to a dim, architecturally striking bathroom with a backlit onyx counter. He apologizes for the confrontation, then kisses her. Their chemistry intensifies as Dusty lifts Cam against the door, and they move to the counter. Dusty hesitates about the location, but Cam urges him on and confirms she is sure.

Dusty pleasures Cam with his fingers and mouth until she climaxes, continuing until she begs him to stop because it is too much. After, they share tender kisses and admissions that he has missed being intimate with her. Cam begins to undo his pants, but a knock interrupts them, and Dusty calls out that the room is occupied. Sharing laughter and breath, Dusty says, “Let’s get out of here,” and they prepare to leave.
