During the six months when they are unable to make the time to travel, Maddie makes an effort to be Dom’s friend by exchanging banter-filled texts. In January, Maddie attends an impromptu work conference in New York with Pamela.

After the conference ends, Maddie stops by a UPenn swim team meet at Columbia University to watch Adam and Carter race. They are ecstatic to see her, and when Maddie texts Dom a picture of the twins at the meet, he immediately calls her. Though he hadn’t planned on attending, he asks her to stay as long as possible and hops in his car to drive there from his home in Philadelphia. Maddie waits as long as possible, but Dom gets stuck in traffic and doesn’t arrive before she must leave to catch her flight.

As Maddie boards her flight, she wonders what would have happened if she had decided to miss it and stayed instead. She feels a pang of regret as the plane takes off. When she arrives back in Seattle, she has missed texts from the twins and Dom. The twins thank her for attending, and Dom asks Maddie to text him when she gets home safe.
