Chapter 6

Much like the first chapter, the first few pages start out in great detail. The story is now focused on Nicole and Dick. Nicole is outside walking through the garden and admiring the plant-less grass. She spots her husband, but quickly avoids him as he walks into the house. When he comes out he spots her and tells her about the guest he has inviting to the party they are going to have. He states that his intentions are to "..give a really bad party.." He says he wants to "..give a party where there's a brawl and seductions and people going home with their feelings hurt.." A sort while after more guest arrived, including the McKiscos. Rosemary eventually started talking to Barban, they talked about how he was ready to go to war, and how he didn't care what he was fighting for as long as he was "treated well". During their talk, Barban emphasized how he was fond of Nicole, more than once, which put Rosemary in a awkward position. Towards the end of the chapter, Dick and Rosemary talk briefly, during this time she tells him that she fell in love with him at first sight but he seems to disregard the statement, acting like he hadn't heard what she said. The chapter ends with Rosemary at the dinner table sitting next to Brady, she tries to confide in him but realizes by the look in his eyes that he doesn't wanna do anything of the sort.
