Chapter 20
Overview
Grace meets Ramona to clear the air, refuses instant forgiveness, and insists on space. A chance encounter with Logan ends with her rejecting his date request despite his charm. At the campus radio station, Grace excels, clicks with Morris, and accepts his invite to a frat party as a date.
Summary
As the week ends, Grace meets Ramona for coffee to address the sext to Logan and the deeper betrayal it represented. Ramona confesses jealousy and insecurity and asks to start over. Grace declines immediate reconciliation, setting a clear boundary for space while allowing slow contact, then leaves feeling both sad and liberated.
Logan enters the café with teammates. He sits with Grace, offers a muffin, and confidently asks for a date. Grace refuses, even as Garrett and Dean briefly join the banter. She exits, resisting Logan’s charm and reaffirming her decision.
At the radio station, Grace produces an advice show hosted by Pace and Evelyn and manages calls, timing, and content while privately cringing at their shallow guidance. She bonds with Morris, who flirts, shares his multicultural background, and impresses her with his quirky, retro vibe.
After Pace invites them to a Sigma kegger, Morris playfully suggests attending together. Grace weighs lingering feelings about Logan, then asserts her independence by accepting Morris’s invitation as a date.
