Dates
- It's June second, Sophie's birthday. Corinna and her dad buy a birthday cake, and they put flowers next to the urn.
- Corinna finally works up the nerve to tell him she found the journal and knows about the sperm-donor thing.
- He's not mad, though he is surprised—he didn't know Sophie had a journal.
- Sophie's death date, August fifth, will arrive soon. Corinna asks Clare what her family does on the anniversary of her dad's death.
- Clare says they light a twenty-four-hour candle. Corinna says that's what she and her dad did on the anniversary of her mom's diagnosis.
- There's something happy, too, though: Her dad says they're going to Japan to meet Sophie's host family from when she was an exchange student. Grandma and Bapa offered to pay for the tickets.
