Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Back in the present day, Nigel continues to sleep in the den instead of in the Crouches’ bedroom. Winnie notices etching on her notebook left over from when Juno wrote down the names of missing children. Winnie is suspicious and goes to Samuel’s Facebook account to see if those names are on his list of friends. Then she realizes that the handwriting isn’t Samuel’s. She thinks that perhaps Nigel is cheating on her and Googles one of the names on the list, Lisa Sharpe, who she learns was kidnapped as a child. Winnie is upset, thinking that Nigel is researching kidnapped children and wondering why he would do so now.
The Crouch family has caught the stomach flu, so Juno is trapped in her hiding place while they are home recovering. Her supplies are running out and she has a full bucket of waste she needs to dispose of. Juno remembers a patient of hers, Cynnie Gerwyn, who had lupus’s telltale butterfly mark on her face. Juno felt sorry for her, and now that she herself has been diagnosed with lupus, she wonders how she’s doing now.
The family members return to their routines, allowing Juno to wash up, refill her food, and take care of her needs.
