Chapter 4 Summary

Luck Finney, a 20-year-old man with an unusual accent, approaches Merit as she buys dog food for Wolfgang. He asks Merit for a ride to his sister’s house, and though she is suspicious of him, she decides to give him a ride anyway. As they talk, she casually mentions that she has a crush on Sagan, whom she assumes Luck doesn’t know. When she asks Luck where he is going, Luck shows her a picture of Dollar Voss; he is Victoria’s estranged brother. Merit tells Luck about the Vosses’ unconventional living situation, but Luck is fine with it.

When Merit shows Luck the guest room, she discovers Sagan’s belongings and realizes that Sagan has been living at Dollar Voss. She feels slighted that her family members didn’t inform her that someone else was living in their house. Merit snoops through Sagan’s room and looks at his sketches. One of his sketches depicts two young women stabbing each other in the back; Merit correctly assumes the women are her and Honor. Sagan comes in, catches Merit snooping, and confronts her. Merit runs out of his room crying, not understanding why she feels so emotional.
