Part 3, Chapter 43 Summary: “June 2017”

After Tallulah cancels her evening with Keziah and hangs out at home, there is no drama. But the next day, Tallulah gets a text from Scarlett asking her to meet.

Scarlett has been working on a still life. After she hands in her portfolio on Thursday, she wants to get drunk with friends, including Liam. This confession upsets Tallulah. Scarlett apologizes, then admits that she wants to get better: She wants to learn how to understand consequences before she makes decisions.

Scarlett confesses that something bad happened to her that made her this way: an affair with a married man. Scarlett had a relationship with Guy Croft, when he was still married to Jacinta Croft, the head of Maypole. At first, Guy terrified Scarlett, but then she agreed to have sex with him. It lasted a month, until she told him she wanted to stop. A few months later, Guy found her in the woods near school, told her he’d left Jacinta, and asked to be with her. When Scarlett said no, he raped her. Scarlett never saw him again. Now, Scarlett says, it’s almost like he never existed. Tallulah believes that Scarlett has more to say, but Scarlett doesn’t continue.

Tallulah and Scarlett part ways.
