Chapter 49 Summary: “Gone, Part 1”

While applause roars around Evie and X, the former is devastated by her vision. She tears away from X, who looks confused and hurt, and runs from the ballroom.

Chapter 50 Summary: “Love and Its Opposite”

Evie takes a cab home, not feeling her sore feet from running in heels. She’s numb as she gets home, showers, and cries herself to sleep. She thinks that the opposite of love isn’t hate but death.

Chapter 51 Summary: “Gone, Part 2”

When Evie wakes up from her nap, she has multiple calls and texts from X, who’s clearly worried; he also texted that they won the competition. Evie finally responds that she’s fine and apologizes. X tries to work out the conflict, and wonders if she changed her mind about going to New York together. Evie texts that she doesn’t want him to change his life for her, avoiding her vision’s truth. X wants to change his life for her, but Evie states it won’t work out, apologizing again. He asks if this means they’re breaking up, and she texts “I’m sorry.”
