Summary
It’s not like the things she writes about.
In her novels, the men are silent. Rutting and eager but quiet; they use their mouths to bed the heroines in her book, but by the time they fall into bed - or onto desks, or into too tight coat closets and clawfoot bathtubs - they are silent. They growl and grunt and gasp and roar, but for the most part, the men Lizzie writes about are the strong, silent type.
Freddie is not.
Freddie, it seems, likes to talk.

Summary
She looks up, hoping in vain that the bus will arrive without a 20-minute wait, and finally realizes that she’s at the wrong stop. This is the bus for New Malden, the flat she hasnʼt been to since… Well, since Villanelle. Ugh. Now she’ll have to get up and pretend like she hasnʼt been waiting for 10 minutes for nothing. At least thereʼs nobody at the stop, aside from that woman who just arrived, with the fashionable dress and the blonde hair and-
“Oh for Godʼs sake.”

Summary
Because this is what they do, Eve realizes. This is how they communicate – in words and actions like chess moves, all part of some inane power struggle – because the alternative is actually talking about their feelings like proper adults. But that would be too easy, too much like giving in.
After the bus incident, Eve begins to process some things.
