Chapter 18 Summary

Beth wakes to light under the bedroom door and finds John at the dining room table, upset after his disappointing conversation with Detective Morris. John tells her that they can speak to Carla Mellin tomorrow if the police officer he’s tasked with finding her succeeds. Beth tells John that he should go to sleep. John pulls Beth to him and asks her if she knows how hard it is not to touch her. She reminds him that after kissing her the previous day, he drove away. John tells her that it was hard to drive away from her and says that sleeping together was always inevitable. Just as he starts touching her, his cell phone rings. John answers, expecting a man’s voice, but hears his daughter’s voice instead.
