Belly and Conrad avoid each other as they each occupy the house. One morning Conrad teases Belly for eating only a Pop-Tart for breakfast and tells her that she can eat the food he buys at the store. Belly thinks that Conrad is a good housemate, as he is neat and organized, the opposite of Jeremiah. To contribute, Belly goes to the store and buys ingredients to make dinner for her and Conrad. Conrad does not come home until late that night, so Belly leaves him a plate in the kitchen, and the next morning wakes to find that the plate has been cleaned and put away.
One afternoon, Belly works on completing her wedding invitations, and Conrad enters the room. She explains that she needs to go into town to buy stamps for the invitations, and Conrad suggests they go together, as he has errands to run in town. Conrad offers to drive, and as they get into the car, Belly says she cannot remember the last time she was in his car. Conrad reminds her it was the night of her prom, the same night they broke up. Belly tries to diffuse the awkward silence by commenting on how long-ago prom was, but Conrad does not respond.
