Chapter 13 Summary

When Ali wakes the next day, Emma is still asleep, having spent the night awake with nightmares. Ali spends time alone in the kitchen while Dulcie works in the studio, having salvaged most of the damaged paintings. Sissy opens the back door, telling Ali she came to see her. She asks about the studio and says she wishes she could have seen Dulcie’s reaction. This remark confirms Ali’s suspicion that Sissy was responsible for the destruction. She confronts her, but Sissy denies it, calling Ali “crazy.” Sissy then invites Ali to join her on a walk, saying maybe she will answer some of Ali’s questions. Ali estimates Emma will be asleep for at least another hour, so she follows Sissy. She walks for a while through the woods, arriving at a cliff on a hill above the lake. Pointing at the water, Sissy says that is what she came to show Ali and she is the only one who knows what lies beneath. Fed up and disappointed, Ali sets off for home but, changing her mind, decides to follow Sissy to find out where she lives. The rain starts falling heavily, and she loses track of Sissy.
