Shatter Me

Once Juliette is in her room, she opens the armoire and takes the purple dress off the hanger. She touches it and wonders why Adam likes this dress so much. Juliette's hand accidentally lands on an unfamiliar object lying on the wooden shelf beneath the hanging clothes. She steps closer to the armoire so that the cameras won't register what she found there and looks closer—it's her notebook. Juliette realizes that Adam saved her notebook, and she hides it into the folds of the purple dress. She goes to the bathroom to change and there, where there are no cameras, Juliette opens her notebook. She sees a new sentence, written in someone else's handwriting, about things being not what they seem. Juliette assumes that Adam must have written the sentence. Juliette feels a new sense of hope rising in her—maybe Adam is trying to reach out to her. Before leaving the bathroom, she hides the notebook in a pocket of the purple dress.

Warner quietly comes into her room, and Juliette notices that his eyes “are falling all over [her]” (98). She wonders where Adam is and how badly he is hurt. When Warner and Juliette walk out into the corridor, Warner puts his arm around her waist and tells her that he loves the fit of her dress because “it helps distract [him] from all [her] questions” (99).
