He continues to try and convince himself it was the right thing to do. He describes feeling trapped in his life, and imagines how he would feel if Sarah died. Eddie is emphatic that he would regret his decision.

Part 3, Chapter 41 Summary

In the waiting room at a psychiatrist’s office, Carole expresses paranoia and Eddie tries to comfort her, feeling guilty for lying to her about his trip. He thinks about a funeral procession that he’d seen heading toward Frampton Mansell earlier that morning. Eddie’s mother expresses the hope that it was for Sarah, and Eddie continues to try to convince himself that he did the right thing by leaving and that they could have no future together.
