Chapter 6 (spoiler alert)

The sixth chapter is the shortest of all. Jotham is present and Ethan believes himself to be irrationally happy. As nothing had happened between him and Mattie the night before, but he believes that he has had a good vision of what life with her would be, and is glad that he didn't do anything to disturb the sweetness of the picture. Ethan tells Jotham to go do something and he and Mattie are alone in the kitchen again. He has to leave too for work, but he tells Mattie he'll try and be home early for dinner. He does make it back for dinner, but he must leave again to continue work. Ethan brings home something later to fix the dish that the cat broke, but he hadn't realized that Zeena was home, luckily Mattie warns him. Then Jotham seems as if he doesn't want to come inside for dinner, as if something happened between him and Zeena when he was driving her to the doctor.
