Looking back, Elliot still can’t believe that Lana is gone. He feels like he is in hell without her. He looks at a photo of her from before their lives were ruined but then realizes that his life was ruined before then.

Elliot tells the reader that he knows he idealizes Lana, and although he’s told the truth, he hasn’t held to his promise of telling the whole truth. He did so with the intention of protecting Lana but now resolves to tell the reader all of Lana’s secrets. In his telling, he goes back to the beginning, in which Lana calls Kate to invite her to Greece. Earlier, he told the reader that Lana called Kate immediately after having the idea, but in reality, an entire day passed.

When Lana has the idea to go to Greece, she goes home before she calls Kate. She makes a cup of tea and tries to figure out what has been bothering her. She wonders if it is her conversation with Leo a few days earlier.

When Leo told her he wants to be an actor, she was surprised at both the announcement and her instant reaction to it.
