Wild Love

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of sexual violence.

Cora and Ford go inside, leaving Rosie alone by the fire. Rosie texts Ryan and asks if they can talk soon, but he’s too busy with work. Ford returns and sits beside Rosie, so close that their legs touch. Rosie struggles to focus as she’s distracted by her attraction to him. She jokes that he hated her when they were younger, but Ford says that she’s misremembering. Rosie then says that music will be the best way to bond with Cora. She impulsively asks Ford if he’s single, and he says yes. When he asks her the same question, Rosie says she isn’t sure. Ford stands, grabs her ponytail to lift her head, and says that she must be single if she asks him again. Rosie returns to the bunkhouse and reads her diary and everything she wrote about Ford.

Ford drives Cora to school, and she asks if they can have more campfires. She also asks how long Rosie stayed last night, and Ford avoids eye contact, knowing what she’s insinuating. Ford reminds Cora that Rosie is his best friend’s little sister. Cora says that all the fathers at the school pickup have noticed Rosie, which gives Ford a pang of jealousy.
