On the walk to part two of the night, Nick puts his arm around Elana and Brendan, unfazed, walks beside her. “This is the best night ever!” Elana says, cracking up. Once inside again, Nick heads to a room with a piano. He jumps on the keys and begins serenading Elana with the chords to different hip-hop songs. Brendan and Elana settle in on the couch and get a chance to talk more intimately. From...
