Chapter 48 Summary: “Daphne”

As the server stops Daphne and her daughters, Daphne is terrified, but instead, the server merely returns Daphne’s wallet, which Daphne dropped by mistake. Relieved, Daphne and her daughters drive away. They now have a 13-hour drive ahead, during which they can only stop for gas and bathroom breaks. Bella is afraid of being arrested, but Daphne reassures her that they have done nothing wrong. Tallulah now angrily blames her father for their predicament and resents her mother’s initial decision to marry him.

Despite Tallulah's outburst, Daphne remains calm and explains that she doesn’t regret the marriage because it gave her the two most important things in her life—her daughters. However, Tallulah argues that her mother could have had other children with a better man. Tallulah breaks down in tears, overwhelmed, and Daphne promises that they will get through this ordeal together. Fourteen grueling hours later, they arrive at a secluded house in Texas and are met by Daisy Ann. The narrative reveals that Daisy Ann has been assisting them with their escape all along. However, just as Daphne begins to feel a sense of relief, Daisy Ann opens the door to reveal Jackson, who smiles as he walks in.
