Chapter 13 Summary: “Cairo to Boston”

Dawn is on an airplane, and when she comes out of the bathroom, a flight attendant asks her to take her seat. An announcement reveals that they are going to crash in a planned emergency, and to brace themselves. Wyatt, sitting next to her, holds her hand.

At first, when Dawn told Wyatt about Meret, he couldn’t believe that she did not consider that the baby might have been his. After the revelation, he is angry, and leaves her in the tomb they are visiting. However, after an hour, he returns, and they talk about when Dawn had left her Boston home the first time. Wyatt tells her that he wants to meet Meret.

When the plane crashes, it splits apart and catches fire. Dawn is evacuated, and cannot locate Wyatt. Finally, they find each other.

Chapter 14 Summary: “After”

Dawn wakes up in the hospital after the crash. Brian tells her that she has had brain surgery, and she wonders if Wyatt and Egypt were a dream. The plane crashed in North Carolina, and Brian left Meret in Boston with Kieran, unsure of Dawn’s condition. They hear a commotion in the hallway; Wyatt gets past the nurses and enters her room. Brian and Wyatt meet for the first time, and Dawn tells Brian that, after London, she had gone to Cairo to tell Wyatt about Meret.
