Summary

Chapter 7

This chapter is told from Lenka’s perspective, continuing the flashback from her time at the vacation home. The first few days she was there all she saw Josef do was read. On the fourth day, he asked her where she kept going to. She told him she went out to draw, and he asked to go with her. She showed him a beautiful valley where she had a perfect view of the landscape. The two ended up kissing, and the rest of the vacation they kept stealing moments together where they could be alone.

This is another short chapter told from the perspective of Josef. He talks about how his second wife was always distant towards people. He felt that whenever they were lying in bed together, they were always dreaming of other people.
