Part 3, Chapter 17 Summary

The women call for an Uber while Morgan rides with Colby. During the ride, Morgan asks about his work as a farmer, taken with the idea that he is “a man’s man” who could survive “a zombie apocalypse” and finding her own life “boring by comparison” (114). When she asks about his sister, he emphasizes her role in raising him, leaving out that she is “also a survivor” (115). At the restaurant, Morgan’s friends continue grilling him, and he learns more about them as well. Morgan’s friend Maria shows Colby some of their dance routines, and he is impressed.
