Part 1, Chapter 31 Summary

After getting drinks at the pub, Miller Roe informs Libby and Dido that he’d like to spend the night at the Chelsea house. Libby asks where he’ll sleep, and Miller Roe responds, “I’m not going to sleep” (161). The group walks back to the house and Libby unlocks the doors and lets Miller Roe inside. After some thought, Libby decides to stay at the house overnight too. Libby tells Dido she may be a little late to work the next morning, and Dido says to come in whenever. Libby walks Dido back to the train station, and as she walks back to the house, “She absorbs the atmosphere of a hot summer’s night in Chelsea, the throngs of blond teens in ripped denim hot pants and oversized trainers, the views through sash windows of beautiful rooms” (162). Once Libby is back inside the house, Miller Roe calls her over to show her something. Miller Roe has discovered the words “I am Phin” (162) written in black pencil in the back of a kitchen drawer.
