Blythe doesn’t see Violet again for many weeks after the field trip. In addition, she grows weary of her literary agent friend, whose presence no longer eases her loneliness.

One day, Violet calls to ask if she can stay with Blythe. They go to the movies and get ice cream, and while they don’t talk much, Blythe senses that Violet is “less agitated. Less bristly” (268).
