Stone carries both their boards to Lauren’s deck and asks to use the outdoor shower. After they clean up, Lauren’s stomach rumbles. Thirty minutes later, they’re seated at Paradise Cove Beach Cafe, where they order eggs benedict, pancakes, and multiple sides.

Lauren has no phone reception and hasn’t spoken to Leo that day. She notices Stone drinks a sugary vanilla latte, unlike Leo, who prefers black iced coffee. Stone asks how Lauren could have stayed away from Malibu for so long. Lauren asks about Bonnie, and Stone says she was sleeping when he left, but they are getting closer to the end. Lauren expresses sympathy. Stone explains his father, Jeff, is in denial and has booked a trip for the two of them to Baja for September.

Lauren briefly considers whether she could use her ticket to go back in time and save Bonnie from cancer by getting her earlier treatment. Stone breaks her train of thought. Lauren tells him she loves Bonnie and recalls how Bonnie always asked what she was reading and kept her house stocked with snacks. Stone says he’s been reading Harry Potter to her. When Lauren offers to visit, Stone says she’s always welcome.
