Bertrand and Julia discuss Julia’s decision to keep the baby, with Bertrand saying, “I can’t face the idea of this child, Julia. I tried to tell you” (202). He also says that Julia has not listened to him for a long time now and has not noticed many changes that have occurred in him. She knows that he is right.
She will move into the apartment, while he will take another place. They will need to talk to Zoë about this together. Julia wonders whether she still loves Bertrand.
Bertrand enters the bathroom with Julia’s file on Sarah in his hand. He demands to know why she keeps searching. Julia tells him to ask his father, Edouard.
“He stepped back to stroke my cheek softly,” she says; “Julia, what happened to us? Where did it all go?” he asks (207).
A few hours before Julia departs to America, she calls Edouard. He asks why Sarah stopped writing. She doesn’t know, but says she will find out.
