Part 1, Chapter 4 Summary

Diana continues to feel restless on the island, comforted only by her interactions with Beatriz, Abuela, and Gabriel. Beatriz takes Diana around the island, and on one of their mornings together, they talk about art once again. Diana tells Beatriz about her father and how she used to paint with him. Beatriz and Diana talk about their respective mothers, both of whom have not been around for their daughters.

Diana receives a video call from Finn. She tells him that she has received his emails, although her postcards have not reached him yet. Finn tells Diana about the increasingly difficult circumstances he is facing, and how difficult it is to be alone. Diana points out that he is the one who told her to go, and he responds that he didn’t think she would actually listen to him; after this, the line goes dead. Back home, Diana writes a postcard to Finn asking why he asked her to leave if he didn’t mean it. She gets an email from Finn later that same day that details his days at the hospital and also apologizes for what he said to her on the call.
