Part 2, Chapter 10 Summary

Ryan McMichaels is a detective with the Truro Police Department. He is trying to piece together the moments before Drue’s death. Daphne recounts the night before, when Mr. Cavanaugh had argued with Drue, and Daphne had found Drue sad and alone in her room. She mentions the stranger she had met on the dock outside Drue’s hotel room, who hadn’t introduced himself beyond saying he worked for Mr. Cavanaugh. Detective McMichaels asks Daphne about the wedding’s pitch deck, which is designed to entice sponsors and advertisers to pay for the wedding. Daphne hadn’t taken a close look at it. She flips through it with the detective and notices an ad with Leela’s outfit featuring Daphne, whom Drue had titled “plus-size influencer.” Daphne explains to the detective how lucrative Drue’s social media presence could be if she was able to sell her wedding to sponsors. Detective McMichaels reveals that he had checked the wedding guest list, and Nick Andros was not included. He shows Daphne a google search for the name Nick Andros—a character in a Stephen King novel.
