Part 2, Chapter 21 Summary: “Auburn”

Auburn understands that Owen is right, and Trey truly is dangerous. She didn’t know that the pills were Owen’s dad’s, but Owen tells her he was worried about his father losing his attorney’s license. She needs to end her relationship with Trey, but she’s also afraid of Lydia keeping her from AJ. She sees that Owen has sacrificed so much for his father and her, and he’s who she wants in AJ’s life. Trey texts her, and she says she will talk to him tomorrow.

Owen showers and Auburn goes to join him, but she’s insecure about her body since giving birth. She turns off the light, but he picks her up and turns it back on. He washes her hair and then he tells her she is beautiful. He kisses her until he reaches her cesarian scar and tells her it’s beautiful too. He says he’s falling in love with her, and then he picks her up and brings her to the bed. She narrates, “I don’t feel lost in him at all, because it’s the first time I’ve ever felt like someone truly found me” (273).

Owen drops her off at his apartment. Someone comes up behind her, and she leans into him until she realizes it’s Trey.
