Summary

Chapter 15

It is still 1989 and set in Connecticut. Things have become a senseless parade of insults thrown at Amelia from Cam. Each night he rants and raves, listing all of her faults, and she apologizes for being such a disappointment. Then, she states, they go to their separate bedrooms. Amelia wonders how this can be her life now.

Amelia realizes, at the last moment, that she and Cam are supposed to attend a dinner party. She tells Cam that she’ll call and cancel, but Cam wants to go. The host and hostess of the party are from Atlanta, his old stomping grounds, and they know his mother, Taffy. Amelia agrees to go only because she doesn’t want another fight. Why her mother in law would be arranging their social life she has no idea.

They arrive at the McCloud’s house...
