Chapter
Chapter 21
Chapter 21 begins with a veneer of normalcy, the keyword introducing a chapter that swings rapidly from cozy calm to pointed discomfort. After a pleasant dinner, conversation flows easily, wine loosens their smiles, and the glow of shared laughter briefly restores the illusion of harmony. But that peace begins to erode the moment they step back into the house. Eddie’s posture shifts—his jaw tightens, his voice flattens—and the connection they shared at dinner slips away. Rather than join the narrator…-

Chapter 20
Chapter 20 begins with a suggestion that feels more like a test—an invitation wrapped in nonchalance. Eddie, pouring coffee in the morning light, proposes a weekend at the lake, speaking casually as though the place didn’t carry the weight of two deaths. The narrator, mid-page in a bridal magazine, is momentarily thrown. It's not just the idea of going there—it’s what it might reveal. Her instincts tighten, warning her there’s something he’s not saying, but she agrees anyway, partly from…-

Chapter 19
Chapter 19 begins with the arrival of comfort food wrapped in foil, but the warmth of neighborly concern carries a subtle edge. Caroline McLaren is the first to show up, arms full with a bubbling chicken Divan and condolences that sound rehearsed. Her hug lingers too long, and she warns the casserole shouldn’t go through the dishwasher—as if that’s the most pressing concern in a house now shadowed by murder. A few hours later, Emily and Campbell arrive in tandem, bringing paper bags from the high-end…-

Chapter 18
Chapter 18 begins with Eddie leading Detective Laurent to the backyard, a gesture that seems casual but carries an undercurrent of tension. Inside, I busy myself with mundane tasks, trying to mirror Eddie's composed demeanor. However, the presence of law enforcement in our home shatters the illusion of safety that wealth and status are supposed to provide. Detective Laurent's friendly inquiry about our relationship timeline feels more like an interrogation, and my rehearsed responses feel inadequate. She…-

Part IV: Bea
Part IV: Bea didn’t feel like going out for dinner with Blanche and Tripp, but she didn’t want to break their long-standing routine either. Every other Thursday, the four of them got together, and even when she wasn’t in the mood, she showed up. This time, they were trying out a trendy barbecue joint in Homewood, its string lights and metal furniture giving off the kind of ambiance people post on Instagram but rarely enjoy in real life. She felt removed from the group, especially Blanche, whose…-

Chapter 17
Chapter 17 begins with us outside, settled into those sturdy wooden Adirondack chairs as a quiet fire burns before us, its warmth flickering against the cool evening. The scent of meat grilling in the background mingles with the smoky air, and for a moment, everything feels suspended in peaceful stillness. But smells have a strange way of unearthing memories, and suddenly I’m back in Phoenix, where the heat pressed down like judgment and the dry air turned everything into kindling. One summer night…-

Chapter 16
Chapter 16 begins with a confession that still feels surreal: I’m engaged. Not just in theory, but actually wearing a sparkling, heavy emerald ring on my finger—one Eddie chose long before I even knew a proposal was on the horizon. It’s not just the size or the cut that makes me feel breathless—it’s the fact that someone picked me, saw me, and wanted a future with me without needing to be convinced. For a girl who grew up being left out, overlooked, and shuffled around, that act of deliberate…-

Chapter 15
Chapter 15 opens with a gathering at Eddie’s place—the official site of the Neighborhood Beautification Committee’s latest meeting. Or rather, my house, as I’ve been trying to remind myself, though the words don’t always feel true. As I carry the empty wineglasses to the sink, I can’t ignore the dull ache of being in a beautiful home that doesn’t entirely feel like mine yet. Most of the committee meeting had been fluff—half-hearted discussions about seasonal wreaths and Pinterest boards…-

Chapter 14
Chapter 14 begins with a simmering attempt at self-control. I tell myself not to overthink Emily and Campbell, not to crave more than I already have. This life—Eddie, the house, comfort—should feel like a win, like hitting the emotional jackpot after years of scraping by. But the truth is, discontent lingers just beneath the surface, stirred by glances and offhand comments dressed as compliments. The same feeling flares whenever John crosses my mind, and even though he got his cash and his moment of…-

Chapter 13
Chapter 13 begins with a sense of subtle transformation as Jane steps further into the world of Thornfield Estates. The gathering with Emily, Campbell, Anna-Grace, and Landry feels less alien this time—less like she’s infiltrating a sorority and more like she’s learning its rules. Wearing soft neutral tones, her outfit mirrors Emily’s, and even that small detail signals Jane’s growing awareness of how appearances matter in this circle. This neighborhood doesn’t just prize manicured lawns and…-
