Chapter 22 Summary

Dee wonders if Kimmi’s dad could be the Postman. She flashes back to the white room, remembering Kimmi asking her repeatedly if she wanted to be Kimmi’s sister. As an only child, Dee was often lonely and did wish for a sister, which was the subject of her short poem published in the newspaper. When Dee asks Kimmi why she kidnapped her, Kimmi replies that they are similar. Dee worries that she is as cruel as Kimmi, but knows she is caring and unselfish.

Dee knocks at Mara’s door but panics when there is no answer. Mara opens the door and Dee hugs her in relief. She gives Mara more food and almost tells her about Nyles's visit with the lawyers. Dee invites Mara over for breakfast in the morning, then enters her side of the duplex. All the cameras are live. Tired, Dee goes to take a shower but is horrified to find a message scrawled in lipstick reading, “You’ll always be my sister, Dolores, always” (152).

Chapter 23 Summary

Dee stays alert all night. Few people besides Kimmi and her dad know that Dee’s real name is Dolores Hernandez. Kimmi was 14 years old when she kidnapped Dee.
