Chapter 6 Summary: “Mary: Day 2”

Mary wakes up hungry and is grateful to realize that Wayne is cooking a large breakfast. She wolfs down strawberries, eggs, and sausages, but suddenly realizes that she is having an allergic reaction. A panicky Wayne apologizes for not reminding her that she is allergic to eggs. Fortunately, he has Benadryl in the supplies he bought from the drugstore. The medication makes her drowsy, and she sleeps for much of the day. When she finally wakes, she finds a note indicating that Wayne has gone into town to check in with the police about her car and run some errands. He suggests that she stay inside where it is warm and watch Netflix. She tries to do so but finds it frustrating that she cannot remember what shows she has or has not already watched. She decides to explore outside.

In back of the cabin, she sees a river. Appreciating the natural beauty of the scene, she walks down to the water. There is an old bench swing, and she takes a seat, content to sit quietly and soak in the scenery. After a while, she hears Wayne’s worried voice calling for her. He takes a seat, chiding her gently for being out in the cold.
