After an intimate moment with Andrew, she finds herself reflecting on the encounter, a mixture of emotions swirling as she lies on an uncomfortable cot.

Chapter 30
Chapter 30 opens with an air of somber quiet in the Winchester household, marked by the absence of Cecelia, which contrasts sharply with Nina’s unexpected cheerfulness.

Chapter 28
Chapter 28 opens with a quiet, almost suffocating drive back to the Island, where the atmosphere between Andrew and the narrator is noticeably tense. There’s hardly any conversation, as Andrew is consumed with thoughts of his upcoming meeting in the city and the need to change into proper attire. For him, this drive is more than just a return home; it serves as a mental preparation for the tasks ahead. The mundane nature of the journey seems to amplify the distance between him and the narrator, who…-

Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Today Andrew and Nina have an appointment with that fertility specialist. They’ve both been nervous and excited about the appointment all week. I heard snatches of their conversation during dinner. Apparently, Nina got a bunch of fertility tests and they’re going to be discussing the results today. Nina thinks they’re going to be doing IVF, which is expensive, but they’ve got money to burn. As much as Nina gets on my nerves sometimes, it’s sweet how the two of them are planning for…-

Chapter 15
Chapter 15 This Saturday afternoon, Nina is throwing a small PTA gathering in her backyard. They’re meeting up to plan something called “field day” in which the kids play in a field for a few hours, and somehow it takes months of planning to prepare for it. Nina has been talking about it nonstop lately. And she has texted me no less than a dozen times to remind me to pick up the hors d’oeuvres. I’m starting to get stressed because, as usual, the entire house was a mess when I woke up this…-

Chapter 10
Chapter 10 A week later, I come down to the living room and find Nina holding a full garbage bag. My first thought is: Oh God, what now? In only a week of living with the Winchesters, I feel like I’ve been here for years. No, centuries. Nina’s moods are wildly unpredictable. At one moment, she’s hugging me and telling me how much she appreciates having me here. In the next, she’s berating me for not completing some task she never even told me about. She’s flighty, to say the least. And Cecelia…-

Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Nina is at her PTA meeting tonight—the one I ruined by throwing out her notes. She is grabbing a bite to eat with some of the other parents, so I’ve been tasked with making dinner for Andrew and Cecelia. The house is so much quieter when Nina isn’t here. I’m not sure why, but she just has an energy that fills the entire space. Right now I’m alone in the kitchen, searing a filet mignon in the frying pan before sticking it in the oven, and it’s heavenly silent in the Winchester…-

Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Nina must have thrown half the contents of the refrigerator on the kitchen floor, so I have to make a run to the grocery store today. Since apparently, I’m also going to be cooking for them, I select some raw meat and seasoning that I can use to throw together a few meals. Nina loaded her credit card onto my phone. Everything I buy will be automatically charged to their account. In prison, the food options were not too exciting. The menu rotated between chicken, hamburgers, hotdogs, lasagna,…-

Chapter 6
Chapter 6 delves into the protagonist’s emotional transition from living out of their car to finding a semblance of comfort in a proper bed, a milestone they haven’t experienced in a long time. The cot, although uncomfortable with its lumpy texture and noisy frame, represents a significant improvement over the back seat of their car. For the first time in what feels like ages, the protagonist enjoys a sense of safety and ease, something they haven’t felt during the many restless nights spent at…-

Chapter 5
Chapter 5 opens with Millie preparing dinner by 6:45 PM, the scent of marinated chicken breasts filling the air as they roast in the oven, following instructions from a service guide. The pleasant aroma greets Andrew Winchester when he arrives home, casually loosening his tie and complimenting Millie on both the meal’s smell and the pristine state of the kitchen. Although her day has gone well, Millie refrains from mentioning a small mishap with peanut butter earlier, not wanting to raise doubts about…-
