Chapter 49 Summary

Grey asks about Poe’s car collection. Poe answers teasingly and evasively, though he reveals the gunfire from the night prior. She cautions him about recklessness, wondering if his unlicensed gun indicates that “he [is] dangerous to her” (173). They arrive at a restaurant called Harlowe Farm and are taken back to the busy kitchen. Poe holds her hand and urges her to enjoy herself.

Chapter 50 Summary

Poe and Grey marvel over their delicious dinner as they drive back to Brooklyn. Grey inspects Poe’s bedroom, feeling that “everything fit[s] […] except her”—she sees herself as dissimilar to the other “slender, young, sophisticated” women she’s seen with Poe (177). They kiss, and, despite faint insecurity, Grey decides to have sex with Poe. She wakes in the middle of the night to find Poe having a nightmare and crying for someone to not leave him.

Chapter 51 Summary

Marple and Virginia see Grey the next morning. Grey is initially uncomfortable at revealing her sexual relationship with Poe but joins the women for coffee. Marple asks about the kidnapping, and Grey reports no leads. Grey notes Marple’s file on Hart Island, but Marple brushes off her questions. Grey asks Marple not to tell anyone in the police department about her sexual encounter with Poe.
