Big Little Lies Chapter 46

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 46

Celeste thinks all about Saxon Banks on the way home.
She's super upset. She remembers the last time she saw him, and how nice he was.
He seemed like a genuinely good dude.
But then again, she thinks, Perry seems like a good guy as well.
Maybe there's a genetic connection, thinks Celeste. Some kind of amoral jerk gene. After all, Perry and Saxon's moms were identical twins.
So genetically, they're half brothers rather than cousins.
And Saxon, Celeste thinks, might be even worse than Perry.
The thought gives her the absolute creeps.
Still, she can't help but think about how nice their garage is as she arrives back home.
The new apartment wouldn't even have a garage.
Then she sees her bruises and feels rueful—obviously having a nice place to park isn't worth bodily harm.
