Dannie moves into Bella’s apartment and helps to care for her while her condition worsens. Bella is afraid that the little time she has left is being wasted on the misery of trying for an unlikely cure. Aaron and Bella reveal that they bought the Dumbo apartment and renovated it for Dannie. It is exactly the way it was in Dannie’s premonition. Bella chose everything and worked to make it perfect even when they weren’t speaking. Aaron and Dannie kiss in the apartment, and Dannie forgets briefly about all of the struggle and pain of the last several months.

The kiss ends, and they’re not sure how to process it. All of Dannie’s things have been moved there and unpacked so she can stay in her new home. Bella calls and tells Dannie that after so many years of Dannie saying she never finishes anything, Bella wanted to finish this apartment for Dannie. In the closet, Dannie finds the dress she was wearing in the premonition with a note on it in Bella’s writing: “Wear this […] I always liked it on you” (229).
