After Matt catches Lucy sitting outside the house they once shared, Lucy rolls down her window and faces an awkward, charged encounter. Matt greets Lucy casually and asks whether she planned to knock or keep sitting outside. Lucy claims she was only driving by and wanted to see how the house looked.

Matt invites Lucy inside for a drink and reveals that he and his wife are getting divorced because she has moved back to Houston. The invitation briefly tempts Lucy, and she notices both Matt’s physical appeal and the familiar sexual tension between them. The moment suggests that their old dynamic could easily pull her back in.

Instead, Lucy remembers a far more painful memory from the aftermath of Savvy’s murder: less than a day after Lucy returned from the hospital, Matt had asked Lucy to leave and go to her parents’ house because he was afraid of Lucy and believed Lucy might be guilty. That memory changes Lucy’s decision. Rather than accept Matt’s invitation, Lucy refuses and drives away without looking back.
