Just as she starts to get upset that she didn’t go over to Ethan’s, her doorbell rings and Olive see’s Ethan standing outside her apartment holding take out. Olive thinks, "Something inside me uncoils because I was happy to be home, but now I'm giddy. I feel more myself with him than without, and that happened so fast, it's dizzying" (287).
