We Were Liars Chapter 5 Summary

  • Fast-forward to summer fourteen. Gat asks Cadence if he can take the boat out, and she tells him he doesn't have to ask permission.
  • He says he feels like he does, and that he has to get off the island for a minute, because sometimes his outsider-ness drives him crazy.
  • Cadence goes with him. They jump out of the boat and go for a swim. They joke about sharks.
  • The water is cold, so they get back on the boat and wrap up in a blanket together. Gat tells Cadence he thinks she's pretty.
  • Shortly thereafter, he starts lending her books, and they start spending more time together.
  • One day, she looks at him lying in a hammock and realizes she's actually, for-real in love with him.
  • She takes the pen out of his hand and writes her name on his left hand and his name on his right.
