- After school, Lennie walks home through the woods in order to avoid Sarah, who wants her to talk about what she's going through. Eventually she sits on a rock, writes down a conversation she remembers having with Bailey, and buries it in the ground.
- When she gets home, Toby, Bailey's boyfriend, is lying on his back in Gram's garden, just waking up from a nap. Apparently Gram's been inviting him over a lot, but this is the first time he's shown up.
- Lennie was never a fan of Toby, because he "had turned Bailey into a permanent love zombie" (3.15).
- Back to the present: Toby asks Lennie if she's okay, and she shakes her head no. When he says, "I know," his expression makes her believe he actually feels the same way she does.
- Lennie tries to go upstairs to her and Bailey's shared room, but is interrupted by Gram. They have an awkward conversation about Lennie's day, which turns into Gram suggesting Lennie study music with someone named Marguerite. Lennie refuses.
- Gram sends Lennie outside to help Toby weed, but they just nap in the garden beside each other. Later, they head inside with Uncle Big, and everyone eats a sad dinner together.
- Lennie and Toby head upstairs to Lennie and Bailey's shared room and listen to Bailey's music while looking at pictures of Bailey.
- Lennie and Toby say goodbye in Gram's garden. It takes awhile. They both say how it made them feel better to hang out with each other, and the neighbor's dogs greet Toby, and Lennie calls him St. Francis (a saint who supposedly talked to animals), and Toby says Bailey used to say that. It's starting to feel like they're lovers parting ways, except for the whole dead sister part.
- Toby finally hugs Lennie goodbye, and Lennie feels a hardness against her hip. Yeah, it's what you think it is.
- Time for another poem. This one's about Bailey's funeral service, how someone in her drama class yelled "bravo" at the end of it and everyone stood up and applauded, "for nineteen years/of a world with Bailey in it" (3.76).
