Part 2, Chapter 14 Summary

When Olive was born, Nina had a premonition that Katherine was in labor. However, when she gives birth to Frederick Thomas in April, Nina has no such intuition. Nina travels to Mark and Katherine’s new home to see the baby. Olive is having regular tantrums in reaction to the baby getting so much attention. Nina takes Olive to the park and stays for a dinner of fish sticks, for which Katherine is ashamed. Olive has another tantrum, and they turn on the Lion King soundtrack to calm her down. Soon everyone is dancing around the kitchen. As she rides home, Nina thinks about Katherine being ashamed of her messy life and how all she longs for is the chaos of a family.

At home alone, Nina googles Max, as she does frequently. She also searches his coworkers’ LinkedIn profiles, desperate to find any information about him. Finding nothing, Nina searches for her father’s name in hopes of finding photos of him when he was younger. She finds the Facebook group Arthur mentioned and scrolls through the kind messages left by former students. She considers sending Arthur a message explaining her father’s emotional distance the day they met but decides to honor Bill’s privacy.
