Part 3, Chapter 16 Summary

The podcast interviews Wendy, who now lives in a different state under a different name due to death threats. Wendy says she stopped by the Barn on prom night to meet Kenny before the afterparty. She assumes Maddy died in the fires, but her body was never found. Wendy says that after the fires, she went home. They tracked her using GPS and know she went to Greenville; she claims she was dropping someone off at a hotel, but that person wasn’t Maddy.

Kenny and Wendy almost have sex in his car, but he is not in the mood and drops her off. He then goes on a drive and finds himself outside Maddy’s house. He waits for a moment and she comes outside, bringing him homemade pound cake. They discuss cooking, constellations, and how silence is nice. They almost kiss, but Maddy goes back into her house.

David Portman’s book says that after prom, cell phones, radios, compasses, and GPSes wouldn’t work in Springville, for reasons unknown.

Kenny daydreams about Maddy coming to the University of Alabama with him. Kenny’s dad walks in and catches him reading a book; he’s furious.
