Things worsen after Will's ex-girlfriend, Alicia, and best friend Rupert reveal that they are getting married.

Louisa notices Will's scarred wrists and later overhears his mother and father discussing how he attempted suicide shortly after his mother, Camilla, refused his request to end his life through Dignitas, a Swiss-based assisted suicide organization.

Horrified by his attempt, Camilla promised to honor her son's wish, but only if he agreed to live six more months.

Through their frequent talks, Louisa learns that Will has traveled extensively; his favorite place is a café in Paris.

Louisa continues seeing her longtime boyfriend of 7 years, Patrick, though they eventually break up due to her relationship with Will.

When they return home, Will's parents are pleasantly surprised by his good physical condition.

He dies shortly after in the clinic, and it is revealed that he left Louisa a considerable inheritance, meant to continue her education and to fully experience life.
