A thought. Could Nova (and Remy, but especially Nova) be trying to reconcile her relationship with Ernest with this attempt at *romance* with Remy? As much as I loathe the scenes, I keep thinking about the fact that for as much as he claimed to see her all they ever talk about is Ernest and nostalgia and as random as this all is it falls right with her looking for that connection solely for her book because of her writer’s block.
