We Were Liars Chapter 49 Summary

  • That night, Cadence and Gat are on the Cuddledown roof, and he tells her she looks beautiful in the moonlight.
  • He asks her if she has a boyfriend in Vermont, and she says her boyfriend's name is Percocet.
  • He tells her that on the one hand, they all feel sorry for her, but on the other hand, she doesn't realize how lucky she is—after all, Harris bought her and her dad a trip to Europe.
  • Cadence realizes for the first time that her dad didn't pay for the trip. How could he have? He's a college professor.
  • She starts crying and tells Gat that she knows how lucky she is, but on days when she has terrible headaches, she'd rather be dead than deal with the pain.
  • He kisses her, and for the moment, they're in love again and everything is okay.
