Back home from the beach, Millie stays irritable and fixates on how Enzo “heroically” rescued Suzette in the ocean. In bed, she argues that Suzette could have gotten back to the car with Jonathan and implies it was too convenient that Enzo’s client canceled.

Enzo pushes back, saying he still wanted the job and that Suzette told him that morning the meeting was off. He insists Millie is being ridiculous and says he would not be jealous if another man saved Millie because he trusts her, asking her to trust him in return. Millie says she does, but privately admits Suzette’s late-night interactions with Enzo have made her suspicious.

As Enzo tries to move past the fight and be intimate, Millie asks a question she cannot drop: how Suzette’s leg got “caught” underwater. Enzo guesses seaweed or kids fooling around, but Millie presses him about whether any kids were even near Suzette.

Millie then brings up seeing Nico talking to Suzette shortly before the incident. Enzo snaps, interpreting it as an accusation that their son tried to drown Suzette, and denies it emphatically, claiming Nico was not near her. Millie concludes Enzo is lying to protect Nico and ends the chapter feeling that something darker may be happening.
