CHAPTER 2

by testsuphomeAdmin

In Chapter 2 of “All the Colors of the Dark,” the narrative unfolds with a sense of urgency as Joseph races to the door, eager for news from his school. However, his mother, Ivy, intercepts him, kissing the letter with a nostalgic touch signaled by its St. Louis postmark. A month earlier, she had interviewed at the botanical garden, while Joseph silently observed the world around him, particularly the symmetrical families gathered under the shade of Tower Grove House.

Their living situation in Monta Clare has begun to feel like home despite its transitory nature. Ivy’s attempts to assert herself in a changing world manifest through her declarations of women’s liberation and her loud plays of Dylan. Joseph reflects on resilience, citing the legendary pirate Black Bart Roberts, who thrived even after being captured. His mother often views him as a reminder of her struggles; every evening, Joseph lifts dumbbells until his arms ache, symbolically grinding away at his childhood.

Ivy’s concern is palpable as she notices the bruise on Joseph’s cheekbone, a testament to the fights he’s had. She tenderly adjusts his clothing and reminds him of his importance to her, urging him to avoid trouble. Their conversation reveals a protectiveness as Ivy instructs him to start fresh at his new school, pleading with him to promise no more trouble—particularly after an unsettling visit from a certain woman who had given Ivy a disapproving look.

Although Joseph is supportive and lighthearted, joking about pirates and their tumultuous lives, he also internally grapples with the weight of his circumstances. As the chapter progresses, Ivy prepares to face the authorities regarding their tumultuous life, knowing that neglecting the shadows of danger might cost her dearly. In this moment, there’s an underlying tension as Ivy contemplates how much of Joseph’s life she has truly seen and understood, hinting at the challenges that lie ahead for their fractured family dynamic.

CHAPTER 2

by testsuphomeAdmin

In Chapter 2, Phoebe and her husband, Matt, navigate the aftermath of a failed pregnancy. They search online for a vacation destination to escape their recent heartbreak, driven by a longing for indulgence and fun after the disappointment of their fertility struggles. Phoebe finds a Victorian hotel, the Cornwall Inn, which offers enticing activities like hot tubs, yoga, and paddleboarding. Despite her meticulous planning, Matt’s reaction to her detailed spreadsheet—one she created to organize the fun they hope to have—reflects his growing impatience with her need to quantify every aspect of their lives, particularly their attempts to conceive.

While contemplating their vacation, Phoebe reflects on her academic pursuit, her analytical nature, and her complex feelings towards her husband’s successes, which starkly contrast against her stagnant career as an adjunct professor. The narrative reveals underlying tensions in their marriage as they face societal expectations of childbearing and professional accomplishments. Matt wins an award at work, which heightens Phoebe’s feelings of inadequacy. Her friends and colleagues celebrate him, yet she struggles to feel joy amidst her own professional stagnation.

The couple’s dynamics become strained as Phoebe grapples with her identity outside motherhood and begins to question what being “normal” means in their lives. Meanwhile, hints of infidelity emerge as Phoebe’s insecurities intensify. Their interactions are laced with a blend of humor and sadness, showcasing their attempts to reconnect while being burdened by both personal and societal expectations. Ultimately, Chapter 2 depicts a couple in crisis, vacillating between hope and despair, as they confront the realities of their choices and ambitions against the backdrop of their tumultuous relationship.

2
When they got married, my parents lived in a small home in Kentwood. My
mother was no longer supported by her family, so my parents were very poor.
They were young, too—my mom was twenty-one and my father was twenty-
three. In 1977, they had my big brother, Bryan. When they left that �rst small
place, they bought a little three-bedroom ranch house.
After Bryan was born, my mom went back to school to become a teacher. My
dad, who worked as a welder at oil re�neries—hard jobs that would last a month
or sometimes three—started to drink heavily, and before too long, that was
taking its toll on the family. The way my mom tells it, a couple of years into the
marriage, my grandfather Barney, my mom’s dad, died in a car accident, and in
the aftermath, my dad went on a bender, missing Bryan’s �rst birthday party.
When Bryan was a toddler, my father got drunk at a Christmas party and went
AWOL on Christmas morning. That time my mother said she’d had enough.
She went to stay with Lily. That March of 1980, she �led for divorce. But June
and June’s new wife begged her to take him back, and she did.
For a while, apparently, everything was calm. My dad stopped welding and
started a construction business. Then, after a lot of struggle, he got a gym
business going, too. It was called Total Fitness and it transformed some of the
men in town, including my uncles, into bodybuilders. He ran it in a detached
studio space on our property, next door to the house. An endless string of
muscular men streamed in and out of the gym, �exing their muscles in the
mirrors under the �uorescent lights.
My dad started doing really well. In our little town he became one of the
most well‑o� men. My family threw big backyard craw�sh boils. They had crazy
parties, with dancing all night long. (I’ve always assumed their secret ingredient
for staying up all night was speed, since that was the drug of choice back then.)
My mom opened a daycare center with her sister, my aunt Sandra. To cement
their marriage, my parents had a second baby—me. I was born on December 2,
1981. My mother never missed an opportunity to recall that she was in
excruciating labor with me for twenty-one hours.
I loved the women in my family. My aunt Sandra, who already had two sons, had
a surprise baby at thirty-�ve: my cousin Laura Lynne. Just a few months apart,
Laura Lynne and I were like twins, and we were best friends. Laura Lynne was
always like a sister to me, and Sandra was a second mother. She was so proud of
me and so encouraging.
And even though my grandmother Jean was gone long before I was born, I
was lucky enough to know her mother, my great-grandmother Lexie Pierce.
Lexie was wicked beautiful, always made up with a white, white face and red, red
lipstick. She was a badass, more and more so as she got older. I was told, and had
no trouble believing, that she’d been married seven times. Seven! Obviously, she
disliked her son-in-law June, but after her daughter Jean died, she stuck around
and took care of my father and his siblings, and then her great-grandchildren,
too.
Lexie and I were very close. My most vivid and joyful memories of being a
little girl are of times spent with her. We’d have sleepovers, just the two of us. At
night, we’d go through her makeup cabinet. In the morning, she would make me
a huge breakfast. Her best friend, who lived next door, would come over to visit
and we’d listen to slow 1950s ballads from Lexie’s record collection. During the
day, Lexie and I would nap together. I loved nothing more than drifting o� to
sleep by her side, smelling her face powder and her perfume, listening as her

CHAPTER 2

by testsuphomeAdmin

In Chapter 2, the school day ends at Albemarle Academy, releasing a wave of children burdened with heavy book bags, among them, Patricia’s daughter, Korey. Patricia surprises Korey with plans to buy new soccer cleats and treats, only for the day to take a turn when Patricia brings up a humiliating incident involving Korey’s classmate, Chelsea, that deeply unsettles Korey. Despite Patricia’s intentions to support her daughter, Korey’s withdrawal deepens her feelings of inadequacy as a mother.

Upon arriving home, their interaction is interrupted by Kitty Scruggs, a neighbor who, in stark contrast to Patricia’s approach, offers Korey revenge advice against Chelsea, much to Patricia’s horror. Yet, Kitty’s words unexpectedly cheer Korey up, leading Patricia to feel a begrudging gratitude towards Kitty. This incident introduces Patricia to a side of parenting she hadn’t expected, one that requires navigating her daughter’s feelings with a mix of support, understanding, and sometimes, unconventional advice from neighbors.

The chapter then transitions, focusing on Patricia’s newfound escape: a book club with Kitty and other neighborhood women. The club, which delves into true crime stories, provides Patricia a much-needed outlet from her daily life, allowing her to explore her fascinations within a safe, communal setting. This in turn injects an element of thrill and camaraderie into her otherwise routine existence, highlighting Patricia’s yearning for something more beyond her household responsibilities.

The narrative takes a poignant turn with the introduction of Patricia’s mother-in-law, Miss Mary, whose declining health necessitates her moving in with Patricia’s family. This situation strains the family dynamic, especially as Miss Mary’s condition worsens, affecting everyone’s life significantly. It’s within this challenging setting that Patricia learns of the solidarity and support from her book club friends, particularly Kitty, who steps in to provide practical help, and Grace, who arranges for additional care through Mrs. Greene, a caregiver.

This chapter deftly explores themes of motherhood, the complexities of family dynamics, and the search for identity and community outside of family responsibilities. Patricia’s interactions and challenges reflect a deeper narrative of resilience and the often-underappreciated emotional labor inherent in parenting and caregiving, all while she navigates her personal desires and the expectations placed upon her as a mother and wife in a closely-knit community.

CHAPTER 2

surrounding. Bear tugs at the leash again, as if alerting me, but my gaze is fixated on the man who now, for a moment, takes off his sunglasses revealing sharp, concerned eyes.

“My car,” he starts, gaze shifting from me to the crumpled metal of his sports car leaning against the streetlight. “Are you sure you’re okay?” His concern seems genuine, but there’s an underlying tension, a silent acknowledgment of the cost of the accident.

I scramble to my feet, brushing off the rain-soaked debris, feeling a twinge of embarrassment mixed with anxiety. “I think so. I’m sorry about your car,” I manage to say, voice shaky. Bear, sensing the change in tone, quiets down but stays alert.

“It’s just a car,” he replies, but his eyes linger on the damaged vehicle with a hint of regret. “The important thing is you’re not hurt.” Despite his reassured words, the seriousness of the situation hangs between us like the rain-soaked air.

We exchange a few more words, an awkward dance of apologies and reassurances. He introduces himself as Alex, a name that feels out of place in Thornfield Estates, too simple, too normal.

As we stand there, the difference between us couldn’t be more glaring—the luxury and excess of Thornfield Estates and my simple existence just outside its reach. Yet, here Alex stands, amidst the wreckage of his expensive car, concerned more about my well-being than the material loss.

Before we part, he brushes off the incident with a nonchalance that belies the expensive taste evident in his attire and damaged car. “These things happen,” he says with a half-smile. “Let me know if you need anything. And please be more careful next time.”

As he drives away, his car now emitting a sad, uneven hum, I’m left standing in the rain, Bear by my side, pondering the unexpected encounter. It’s a glimpse into the complexities and contradictions within Thornfield Estates, a place of luxury SUVs and carefully manicured lawns, yet also of genuine concern in unexpected circumstances.

CHAPTER 2

by testsuphomeAdmin

After Tarzan and his guide vanished into the darkness at the wharf, a veiled woman hurried down an alley towards a pub they had just left. Inside, she asked about a tall, well-dressed man who met another and left. A sailor mentioned seeing two men walk towards the wharf. The woman, determined, followed and saw a small boat near a steamer, the Kincaid, preparing to sail. Desperately, she paid a man to row her to the steamer, where she climbed aboard only to find it deserted. She searched for her husband and child, opening doors to empty rooms until she was captured by Nikolas Rokoff, a man from her past.

For days, Jane Clayton was imprisoned in a cabin, her meals brought by Sven Anderssen, the ship’s cook. Meanwhile, Tarzan, locked in a cell below, sensed his family might be nearby but couldn’t confirm. Days morphed into weeks with the Kincaid at sea, stopping only for coal. Neither Jane nor Tarzan knew of each other’s presence aboard.

Rokoff, battling seasickness, visited Jane to demand a cheque for her and her family’s release. She refused unless assured of their safety. Rokoff threatened her with the well-being of her child but eventually obtained a large cheque from her, despite her reservations about his sincerity.

Tarzan was then brought up, confronted by Paulvitch who demanded a hefty ransom, leveraging Tarzan’s family’s safety. Seeing land and believing it to be Africa, Tarzan, desperate to save his son, wrote a cheque for more than his account held. As he handed it over, Paulvitch ordered him to strip, telling him he’d be left here, clothing unnecessary.

This chapter showcases deceit, the primal instincts for family protection, and the struggle for power between Tarzan and his captors, setting a stark atmosphere of tension and determination amidst the uncertainty of isolation and captivity.
