I decided to write recaps this way because it's faster for me to write.

CHAPTER 5

5.1

• Miguel wins the coin toss
• He eagerly asks Lauren on a date
• Lauren agrees to the date, thinking it’ll be fun
• A few days pass and Lauren buys new clothes to wear for the date
• She goes down to the lounge to see Miguel (and Lucas) waiting for her

5.2

• Lauren thanks Lucas for ripping off her tag as she leaves with Miguel
• They decided to have a picnic at the beach
• Lauren suggests that they eat the wraps she made with the help of Josh to make them so that they fit with Miguel’s special diet.
• Miguel is happy that she made food for him. He thinks the wraps taste good
• He jokes that she could be his trainer. This makes Lauren think how different ‘trainer’ is from ‘girlfriend’
• Miguel uses his thumb to wipe off some sauce from Lauren’s lips. And then licks the sauce.

5.3

• After eating they head over to Lauren’s workplace (Kaleido Zoo) to look at dolphins
• Miguel tells Lauren that since he lived by the sea, he started swimming so he could meet dolphins
• Lauren wonders if Miguel is an animal lover
• While they’re looking at dolphins a woman with a baby calls out to Miguel to cheer him on. He thanks her and pets the baby’s head.
• Lauren remembers that he’s a celebrity
• More people start cheering Miguel on

5.4

• (Choice #2) “Want to try swimming with the dolphins?”
• Miguel turns down the suggestion, saying that he would rather swim with them in the sea where there is more room for them to swim and be free

• Miguel replies to Alex’s question with, “If only…”
• The fact that Miguel was the first person to see Lauren in her new clothes gave him a little hope

• Alex leaves
• Lauren wonders if Miguel was being serious about the girlfriend thing
• Miguel interrupts her thoughts and asks her to show her the leopards she’s in charge of
• They decide not to see the leopards because the reservation where the leopards are is far and the park would close before they get to them

5.8

• Miguel admits to her that he’s taking a break from sports because he can’t feel positive about racing anymore
• Basically, because he feels pressured to beat the Kaleido record again, swimming isn’t fun anymore. And his swimming times get worse and worse as a result.
• The next morning Lauren heads to the cafe counter to find Miguel and Joy reading a magazine with their heads together

• (Choice #1) “Sure, I’ll go.”
• Lauren decides to go so she doesn’t want to lose her friendships because of jealousy
