Part 1, Chapter 6 Summary

Four weeks into her stay on the island, Diana receives an influx of old emails: updates from Finn and her mother’s facility, one from Sotheby’s saying that she has been furloughed along with many other employees, and one from Rodney saying that he is moving back to his sister’s place in New Orleans. Diana’s birthday is a week later, and Gabriel invites her to his farm along with Abuela and Beatriz.

That night, Diana and Gabriel camp out underneath the stars together. Diana tells Gabriel about Kitomi and her job. Gabriel tells Diana about how his parents settled on the island, and how Gabriel became a tour guide, the job that he was doing before settling on the farm. Gabriel had originally wanted to become a marine biologist, but plans changed when his ex, Luz, got pregnant when they were 17. They got married, and Gabriel joined his father in his tourism business. Luz eventually left Gabriel and Beatriz for a new boyfriend. Gabriel’s story makes Diana reflect on the disconnect she is feeling with Finn.

Diana later receives an email from Finn with more Covid updates. She writes him a postcard letter, detailing a vivid dream she had of being trapped in a basement where Finn and another woman appeared, masked and dressed in costume, trying to rescue her.
