As Katie rides to the beach with Alex and the kids in his jeep, she thinks about how the loneliness she sees in Alex matches her own loneliness. When they get there, Alex's kids run to the water. Katie and Alex unload everything and sit down and relax. They are talking and Alex says "Jo used to do that," then he apologizes to Katie for bringng her up. Katie telles him it's good for him to talk about her. She knows Jo will always be apart of his and the kids life and she is completely fine with that. This chapter, Katie and Alex grow a stronger relationship through the time they have spend together. They spend the whole day at the beach getting to know eachother. "Yeah... Yeah... At first I tried to avoid every place we went together. I tried to put it behind me. I tried to... step forward. But it just didn't work. And I realized if I'm not thinking about her then who is. She didn't deserve that; she was an amazing woman and I loved her, and I want my children to know that." This was a quote from Alex in this chapter. The way he talks about his wife, shows how much he loved and still does love her. He is never going to move on fully from the loss of her but he is ready to start a new life.
