Nathan and Bella chatted for a while before they left the ice cream shop and separated.
But before they go on their own ways, Nathan sets a date for the two of them to meet saying that it's to make up for the time that Bella wasted.
Something to note about is that, throughout the whole conversation, Bella did not ask or even show interest in what Nathan did in the time that he disappeared.
It seems like for her, as long as Nathan didn't speak of it to her, it doesn't have anything to do with her… even if it wasted her time.
Because of that, Nathan felt more guilty and also Bella earned a lot of positive points on him.
Anyway, Nathan went to his car and drove back home.
While on the road, Nathan said, "It's been quite an eventful day. In the morning I encountered a bizarre thing, my sculpture became a real person."
