Chapter Summaries & Analyses
When Joe wakes, he is tied on her floor with resistance bands. He cries and she yells at him to stop. He realizes she hasn’t called the cops. Joe says his name is Paul and that he was looking for his girlfriend. He makes up a story about his girlfriend, Lydia, and she said she wanted someone to surprise her in her bed as a fantasy.
The woman, whose name is Rachel, relents. She cuts him loose and says she is a nanny who used to run a rape-crisis center. She teaches self-defense. This apartment belongs to the family she works for as a nanny, which is why she didn’t call the police. She signed an NDA and can’t talk about them. She makes coffee and they talk about the appeal to some of rape fantasies. Joe understands that Amy randomly chose this address when she gave it to Calvin. When he gets back, Delilah is waiting. She says she knows about his problem.
Delilah demands an explanation for ditching her. She knows he was at the party and shows him a YouTube video from Henderson’s house. He is in the background, in the kitchen. She says she knows about his “pill problem” (167).
