Chapter 6 Summary

Gwen arrives home and Sam says the police stopped by to say they want to interview her further about the dead body in the lake. The children are fine. Gwen is extremely anxious and wondering whether she should run away or stand her ground. She tells Sam the truth about her past, apparently needing to confide in someone and bounce ideas off another person. However, this news upsets Sam; he asks Gwen if she knew about Mel at the time and if she killed the woman from the lake. Sam does not like that Gwen visited Mel in prison, and he thinks she should be more afraid of victims’ families than internet trolls. Sam leaves.

Officer Graham knocks on the door and wants Gwen to come with him to the police station because someone supposedly saw her in a boat on the lake the evening before the body was found. Gwen refuses to go with him or leave her children alone unless he has a warrant, which he doesn’t. He leaves, promising to be back later. The children assume the family will be moving again.
