Chapter 16 Summary

Cassie returns to the college library, and the housemates express concern over how long she was away. Cassie tells them she did not identify the man as her attacker, but he was the man they fought the night before. Daniel, Rafe and Abby ask many questions about her memory of the stabbing and why the man is not a suspect, and all three are distraught that the situation has still not been resolved.

Daniel and Abby are talking on the swing late at night about Lexie again, and Cassie goes back to the kitchen in the dark to listen. Daniel insists Abby is withholding information from him, but Abby says he will have to trust her, and Cassie knows Abbey hasn’t told him about Cassie being pregnant. Daniel claims he is doing his best to keep the group together, but it has been difficult since the stabbing, and while he believes they all used to tell each other everything Abby points out that he often keeps information to himself. Abby subtly asks if Daniel ever had a physical relationship with Lexie, and he denies that they ever had that kind of relationship. Still watching them, Cassie wishes she could tell them everything was going to be okay because she is staying now.
