Chapter 21 is narrated from the perspective of the older woman who made the predictions on the flight. She reflects on the prediction she gave to the bride (Eve), expressing hope that she didn't ruin the honeymoon. She notes that honeymoons are meant to be special, and recalls that her own honeymoon was a disaster.

The woman considers that the bride may not have believed her prediction, citing an unverified statistic that only four out of ten people believe in psychics. She acknowledges her fondness for the internet despite its unreliable information. She then reflects philosophically on how people's feelings about psychic predictions can be layered—rational dismissal on the surface but subconscious fear underneath—and how skepticism can waver depending on the time of day, with nighttime bringing doubt and anxiety.

She admits she doesn't know how the bride reacted—whether with skepticism, anger, offense, or fear. Significantly, she wonders whether the bride may have remembered a particular incident she had been trying to forget, downplay, or justify, and thought, "What if it's true?" This final thought implies the woman suspects there may already be warning signs of violence in Eve's relationship.
