Chapter 34 Summary

Claire, Noah, and Jack eat a subdued dinner together. Noah tells them they should conserve some of the fresh food for when the cabin’s owner returns. Claire thinks Noah wouldn’t mention the owner if he was the one who stabbed him. Noah asks Jack if he’s comfortable sleeping on the couch while Noah and Claire take the bed, and Jack agrees, though he then storms out angrily to take a walk.

When Noah asks why Jack is upset, Claire lies and says that he thinks no one is looking for them, again omitting the truth about the dead cabin owner. Claire tells Noah that she misses the kids, and Noah pulls a photo from his wallet. It’s a picture of Claire with Aidan and Emma. Claire is touched that, even though their marriage is troubled, Noah still has a photo that includes her in his wallet.

They go into the bedroom and Noah offers to wash Claire’s dirty clothes in the shower since the water is cold and neither wants to fully shower. She agrees and undresses. He compliments her appearance and flirts with her. They then kiss, and Claire thinks that although the trip has been horrible, it may save her marriage.
