After their engagement announcement, Lucy and Cecil attend a garden party where Cecil grows irritated by social conventions and country society. During a walk through the woods near Summer Street, their emotional differences become clearer. Cecil wants romance shaped by control and refinement, while Lucy remains instinctive and deeply tied to nature and memory. Their awkward first kiss exposes a growing disconnect beneath the engagement.
