Ruby and Charlotte adjust to their new home. One of the pilots who comes to stay recognizes Ruby from Thomas’s description and tells her that Thomas still thinks of her. He agrees to pass on a message that she thinks of him too; shortly after, however, they receive word that the pilot has been captured.
Ruby and Charlotte wait to hear more. Ruby becomes increasingly protective of Charlotte, and they go for a walk by their old apartment. When they return home, they encounter Lucien, and Charlotte is noticeably excited to see him. Ruby, however, is suspicious. Lucien tells them that Aubert has been killed. He agrees to keep them informed of future escape routes.
Lucien and Charlotte meet in secret while Ruby is asleep. Charlotte wants to do more for the Resistance, worrying that there will be no place for her if the Germans win the war. As they discuss what they can do to help, Lucien kisses her. Charlotte vows not to tell Ruby, thinking she’ll disapprove.
As time passes, Ruby forbids Charlotte from leaving the apartment at all.
