Benjamin and Anna have been dating for a month now going ice skating, roaming the aisles at bookstores, going to get Zonkou Chicken and to see Pulp Fiction, and taking a romantic walk along the Santa Monica bluffs. All the while, Keith keeps asking Anna out. In this chapter, Benjamin and Anna are on the way to see the premiere to Shawshank Redemption but traffic is beastly, and they call an audible. Benjamin drives her up to Mulholland Drive, a favorite spot, where they look out over all of L.A. Anna interrogates Benjamin and then they take the next step in their relationship.
