Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The police visit Amanda and reiterate their belief that her break-in was likely sexually motivated. They ask numerous questions but are ultimately unsurprised when Amanda cannot identify a suspect. They advise her to enhance her security measures and avoid any communication with the stalker, even to discourage him, cautioning that the stalker’s attention may persist for at least a year. They mention that while Olivier’s presence might deter the stalker, it could also provoke him. Amanda forgets to tell the police about the dead fish she found but assumes Johnny Vegas left it, thinking it lacks the characteristics of a sexual crime.
Olivier and Pascal discuss Amanda’s stalker situation. Pascal mentions he has not noticed any suspicious activity around the gallery. Olivier makes plans to return home for several days for Stephanie’s birthday, as his sons are returning home to celebrate. However, he intends to spend the night with Amanda after Stephanie’s birthday dinner.
Olivier takes Stephanie, their sons, Edouard and Guillaume, and Lizzie to dinner for Stephanie’s birthday. During the evening, Edouard shares that he has received a permanent job offer from J.P. Morgan in Geneva. Guillaume reveals his plan to return to Argentina to pursue amateur polo. At one point, Olivier asks Stephanie about her travel plans, prompting her to wonder aloud if he brings other women home in her absence.
