Nine Perfect Strangers Chapter 63

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 63

Lars, who actually is a lawyer, isn’t super thrilled to have Frances representing him but he feels it’s best to go along with this game and keep Masha happy.
Surely the stakes aren’t life and death though, right? Right?
Lars and Frances talk about his “case.”
He tells her that he’s a lawyer and he’s in a relationship with someone who would prefer he wasn’t sentenced to death. He also doesn’t want children.
Then he thinks back to something Delilah said last night during his psychedelic hallucination. She told him that they were the same because they just don’t care.
And then he thinks of the little boy who tried to talk to him.
Lars tells Frances to let Masha know that he and Ray are planning to have a child. That’s why he can’t die.
