Part 2: “Now”

Part 2, Chapter 50 Summary

Sam and Wyatt go surfing. It takes a minute for Sam to get reoriented, but she doesn’t mind when she falls. She enjoys being in the water with Wyatt, too. They take a break and lie on their boards and talk. When a big wave comes, they try to catch it, but Sam gets pulled under. Wyatt helps her up and realizes her head is bleeding. On shore, he blots the cut with his shirt. They sit and chat about the summers they used to spend together. Wyatt apologizes again for hurting her. He’s still mad at himself for letting his anger keep them apart and tells Sam how much she meant to him and how happy he was when they were together. Sam laughs a little, realizing that nothing in her life makes sense now if their love for each other was real. She thinks about how much they’ve grown up. Finally she breaks the silence, announcing that she needs to quit her job.

Part 2, Chapter 51 Summary

Sam lies awake staring at the tree of life on her wall. Realizing how bad it looks, she spends the night gluing branches to the painted tree. In the morning, Gracie comments on the tree and asks about Sam’s head wound.
