About this listen
In this chapter, Notch wakes up to the sound of Gabriella in the kitchen. They share a tender morning, discussing their love for New Orleans and the possibility of starting a new life in Youngstown. Gabriella reveals she has money saved up from her work, hinting at a future together. Their playful banter leads to a moment of intimacy, where Notch feels a deep sense of completeness and redemption.
Gabriella prepares to leave for work, promising to return by 6 PM for a ferry ride. She gives Notch a book of Petrarch's works with a heartfelt inscription. As she leaves, they exchange loving words, and the protagonist is left contemplating their future. However, there's a foreshadowing of tragedy as he reflects that this was the last time he would make love for the rest of his life.
