Chapter 37 Summary

Holder notices that Sky has been acting strangely since she woke up in the middle of the night shaking and crying from a nightmare. When Sky asks about Hope, Holder realizes that he accidentally called her Hope when he had been drinking the night before. They begin to kiss and things heat up between them. Sky signals that she wants to have sex, but as Holder puts on the condom, Sky becomes unresponsive to him, trembling and counting aloud. A few minutes later, her eyes open and she asks Holder what happened, having no memory of her blackout. Holder blames himself, thinking that he pushed Sky too far.

Chapter 38 Summary

Needing a minute to collect herself, Sky goes to the bathroom upstairs as Holder waits in the kitchen. When he hears her in Les’s room, he follows her upstairs and finds her sitting on Les’s bed holding a photo of Les and Grayson. Sky sees another photo on the nightstand of Holder and Les as children. She recognizes the children and the house in the photo and begins to put together memories from her past. She begins to describe items at the house in the photograph that are not in the frame, like the swing set, water well, and the too-tall countertop.
