The Love of My Afterlife

Delphie and Frida catch a taxi again, and as they leave the Shard, they talk about their failing love lives. When they reach Delphie’s building, Aled is there because Delphie never answered his text. He meets Frida, and the two quickly become friendly as Aled offers to walk her to her train stop. Yet before they can leave, Cooper comes into the lobby of the building, and Aled finally recognizes him as the crime novelist, R.L. Cooper, who hasn’t written a book or made an appearance in years. Cooper is clearly uncomfortable, so Delphie changes the subject, redirecting Aled’s attention. Later that night, Cooper knocks on Delphie’s door to ask for another favor. He explains that Amy told his Aunt Beverly about Delphie, and now his aunt is insisting on meeting her at the aquarium tomorrow. Delphie thinks it would be nice to see Amy again, as she felt like a surrogate mom at the game night. However, Delphie knows that she doesn’t have the time to spare, so she refuses. When she tries to mention Cooper’s career as a novelist, he is evasive, but he compliments her on her drawings when he sees them.
