С 1, с 2: Bobbi and Frances go to Melissa's birthday party. While Bobbi chats to Melissa and her friends, Frances drifts off to explore the house and finds Nick alone in a bedroom. Electrified by the intimacy of the moment, things escalate between them. Overwhelmed, Frances leaves the party, to Bobbi's annoyance. The next morning Frances travels to the country to visit her mother Paula, the events of last night playing over in her head. Paula encourages Frances to visit her father while she's home, which she reluctantly does; she finds Dennis drinking alone, and the house a mess. They're stilted and awkward with each other and after tidying up Frances heads back to her mother. Nick texts her initially to apologise, but the texts turn flirtatious - to Frances' secret delight. Back in Dublin, an excited Bobbi makes a surprising confession to Frances who decides not to share her news about Nick. Later that week at a book launch, when Nick and Frances find themselves alone again, Nick suggests that they should talk properly. He invites Frances over while Melissa is away for work.
