Chapter 9 Summary: “Before”
The narrative returns to Brooke’s lake house six months prior. Claire watches gleefully as Felix and Beau fight. Brooke breaks up the fight, and Dylan takes Felix out for a walk. Claire keeps the game going, embarrassing many of the partygoers, who then leave the party. She humiliates Brooke by recounting a time that she urinated in her pants on the bus. Brooke loses her temper and tells Claire to leave. Claire brushes her off and says she’ll play a different game. Instead, Brooke invites her out to the deck, and Claire shuts the sliding glass door behind them. They can now be seen by the people inside but not heard.
Chapter 10 Summary: “Now”
In the present, Jena is alarmed when she notices the Bronco tailgating them but remembers that they are on the only road away from the coast. Brooke keeps an eye on the trailing car and turns into a neighborhood to test if the car is following her. When it passes them, she is relieved.
When she pulls out into the main road, though, the Bronco appears behind them again. They try to flee, but it rams into them.
