Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Everly goes to Harriet’s house for Allyn’s birthday. Everly eventually asks Harriet if she knows where the painting of the Pulaski came from. Harriet informs her that Mora’s grandmother, Josephine, passed it on. Allyn arrives with her kids, saying her husband, Burke, was delayed. Allyn heard that Everly has been more like her old self, happier and more enthusiastic.
Everly shares Maddox’s backstory. Everly is worried she crossed a line talking about Mora and that she chose the wrong person to confide in. Allyn thinks Everly is being dramatic but consoles her. Eventually, Everly goes to the kitchen to help Harriet. Everly compares the lives of the Pulaski passengers to hers. Burke arrives in time for dinner and cake. Burke asks about Everly’s research. She shows her family the photo of the pocket watch, and she points out the family crest to Harriet. It seems vaguely familiar, but she can’t place it.
Harriet thinks the project seems to have brought Everly some happiness. She asks Everly if she wants to dive to the wreck. Everly’s not sure she’s ready, but she wants to. Everly asks Harriet if she felt unsafe after her dad died. Harriet says she felt like she’d never feel alive again, but after a while she did.
