Part 2, Chapter 22 Summary: “Friday 6th September 2019”

Andy dated Daisy for two years before he met Jen. They planned to move in together, but Andy realized that he didn’t love her but didn’t have the guts to end it, so Daisy asked him to break it off. Andy has always worried that he hurt her, so he worries about how she will respond when he runs into her on the street after an advertisement audition. They have a casual, surface-level conversation, and Daisy appears to be living a happy life. He meets Morris for drinks and explains that he doesn’t feel that the audition went well. He shares about seeing Daisy and empathizing with how she must have felt now that he has been dumped. Morris shows little interest in Andy’s story, but he does share that he was married once for eight years. His wife left him and married his brother. Morris holds no bitterness and is happy that he and his ex-wife didn’t have children. Andy looks forward to becoming a father, but Morris says that children pollute the environment, and with how the world is moving, Andy should reconsider.

After Morris leaves the pub, Andy texts his friends, but no one can meet him.
