When Lily injures her ankle in the shop Alyssa calls her brother for help. Alyssa and Lily connect and soon become close friends. Back to the present and it is several months later and Lily is living her dream of opening up her own flower shop. Lily is concerned for his well-being living in a house in the winter with no running water, gas or electricity so she begins to help him. She realizes that the boy goes to her school. This is where we are introduced to a homeless boy who was squatting in an abandoned house behind Lily’s.

With the death of her father bringing Lily’s thoughts to the past she goes back to read through her childhood journals that she wrote when she was a teenager. That isn’t something that Lily is into so despite the deep physical attraction nothing happens between the couple. The two talk for a while and begin to connect but Ryle tells Lily that he doesn’t do relationships and that he is only interested in a one night stand. He tells her that he is a neurosurgeon and that he just lost a child patient.

Ryle is taking his anger out on a chair until Lily asks him what is wrong. Lily is on a rooftop in Boston where she lives to contemplate the passing of her father but Ryle bursts out, unaware that she is there.
