Chapter 35 Summary

After walking until she is stumbling with exhaustion and pain, Lo finds a barn in the distance. She wanders up to it, and finds two horses grazing before a trough of water. She rushes, thankful, to the water, and takes dozens of big gulps. The water is rusty, but it gives her strength. She stumbles into the barn, which is unlocked, and falls into a pile of hay to sleep. She pulls one of the horse's blankets over her body, and falls asleep.

Lo wakes to the sound of a man's voice. She gets up, startled, and sees an old, gentle-faced man with rheumatic eyes standing before her. He tries to help her as she stumbles on her hurt ankle, but she yanks her arm away, afraid. The man speaks no English, but pulls out his wallet to show her photos of his grandchildren, as if reassuring her that he means her no harm. He points to his car, which is waiting outside, and urges her to come with him.

Inside the car, Lo sees a mobile phone, and asks the man if she can use it. She realizes that it is Tuesday, the 29th–she has slept for an entire day and night.
