Chapter 24 Summary: “After”

Will becomes enraged when Hannah tells him about Geraint’s visit to Tall Tales. Will’s anger is rare and alarming, and Hannah remembers an instance when he beat up a racist man. Will orders Hannah not to speak with Geraint, which angers her, and he immediately revises his words. He carefully implies that Hannah should prioritize their baby’s health, particularly since she has high blood pressure.

Hannah hides from Will in the bathroom to read and reply to an email from Geraint. Geraint ponders the lack of evidence in Neville’s trial, specifically how his DNA wasn’t on April’s body and how the students in the room below didn’t hear a struggle. Geraint admits that he doesn’t necessarily believe Neville is innocent but feels obligated (to Neville and April) to ensure the truth comes out. Hannah feels similarly and agrees to meet with Geraint.

Chapter 25 Summary: “Before”

Upon returning to her suite, Hannah finds Neville in the living room holding a package. His presence alarms her. Neville claims he’s delivering Hannah’s package but doesn’t leave when Hannah asks him to. Scared and upset, Hannah runs to her bedroom and locks her door.

A few minutes later, Will knocks on the now closed suite door. Hannah, emotionally distraught, collapses into Will and tells him about Neville’s presence in her suite.
