Elena and Nate arrive at Devon’s and drink some wine. The women look at Devon’s photos. They talk about the kid seeing Santa and that he lost it when they got up there.

Nate remembers that. They hated dressing alike. Drew wanted to buy ballet slippers and Olivia wanted a microscope.

But they made them wear cutesy dresses with big bows. Nate laughs and says cutesy isn’t a word he’d call either of them.

Nate recalls them looking at those old photos together. Those photos became treasured memories. Elena and Abby shoot each other a knowing look at the cousins opening up.

Before or after the accident. Then she asks what’s next. “Lunch,” he says.
