Chapter 6 Summary

Emilie is startled when she wakes up in her room at home instead of her grandma’s house. When she walks to her desk, she finds the same to-do list from February 14th on display. Emilie sits and makes a to-do list for February 15th which includes talking to Josh about his kiss with Macy and deciding on the Texas move. When Emilie showers for the day, Lisa interrupts her once again for the same reason. Just like the day before, Emilie concedes to rushing her shower so Joel can use the restroom. Instead of dressing nicely as she had for Valentine’s Day, Emilie dresses in a hoodie and sweatpants.

Things become weirder when she has the same conversation with her father over the breakfast table about the gift she got Josh for Valentine’s Day. When her father seems to imply that it is Valentine’s Day, not February 15th, and has no knowledge of the car wreck Emilie had the day before, she starts to believe she had some elaborate dream and the disastrous Valentine’s Day did not happen.

On Emilie’s way to school, she is excited about the opportunities the day holds. However, she gets into the same car wreck with Nick.
