## Relationship With Madeline Whittier

When Olly moves in to a new neighborhood, he sees one of the neighbors kids peering at him through the window. It's a girl, from around his age, Madeleine or Maddy. They share a look as Maddy watches through the window.

During Madeleine's birthday celebration with her mom, Olly and his sister, Kara came over with a Bundt Cake that their mom made. They then ask Maddy's mom if she could show them around. She heard the conversation and started to realize that she would never be able to truly grow up and be an adult.

Later, Olly writes his number on his window for Maddy and soon they begin communicating through text. He introduces himself, and they text for a while, getting to know each other and eventually growing very fond of each other, but she still hasn't told him about SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency). This means that she has an underdeveloped imune system. This means that anything could trigger a severe allergic reaction, possibly causing her passing.

Later, after Maddy finally tells Olly the truth why she can't go out of her house, Carla, her nurse, helps her arrange a meet up with him in the house, the sun room. This causes Maddy to be distant with her mom which makes her mom suspicious that something is going on.

Olly wants to help Maddy experience life and they start to fall in love.

Maddy later invites him over for the Fourth of July, since her mother is working that day. Maddy and Olly share a passionate kiss as fireworks go off outside.

## SEXUAL CONTENT

Madeline and Olly kiss several times.

Olly’s friend Zach is gay but hasn’t told his parents yet.

Madeline and Olly have sex. It’s mentioned that she is a virgin and he is not. Olly assures Madeline that she doesn’t have to consummate their relationship if she doesn’t want to, but she insists that she is a willing participant and has even prepared for the occasion by buying condoms.
