Chapter 6 Summary

Dannie and Bella meet at a favorite café to catch up after two months of not finding time to see each other. As they talk about their lives, Dannie reflects on the differences in their personalities: Dannie is regimented and careful, while Bella is artistic, creative, and more fluid in her plans and goals. Bella tells Dannie that she has a new boyfriend named Greg and that he’s different from the men she’s dated before; she likes him a lot and thinks they’re becoming serious. Dannie is wary but agrees to go on a double date with Bella and Greg in a few weeks.

That night, Dannie has a bad dream in which she and Bella are in the apartment from the dream.
