The Love of My Afterlife

Delphie invites many neighbors from around town to Mr. Yoon’s party, and more people than she expects to agree to come. The local deli owner offers to cater, and the bartender from the musical karaoke night also attends.

Delphie wakes up on Sunday, her last day on Earth, trying not to think about her return to Evermore. Instead, she focuses on giving Mr. Yoon the best party he could hope for. She visits Mr. Yoon to get him ready for the party, and he informs her he is excited to go to his first party in 30 years. Both are amazed when they get to the library’s music room, where Aled shows Mr. Yoon a device that voices whatever he types. Many guests have decided to attend—even more than Delphie originally invited. Frida is there, as is the downstairs neighbor, Mrs. Ernestine. Delphie also speaks to Cooper’s mother, Amy, who suggests that Cooper is in love with her, and Delphie reconsiders how her imminent death will affect him. She gets a message from Merritt revealing that the coworker whom she thought was suspicious of her is actually just attracted to her. Merritt again insists that Delphie find Jonah and kiss him, if only so that she can keep living the happy life she has built for herself over the last 10 days.
