Chapter 24 Summary

Bowen wakes Fo with a surprise: he collected enough water in the hotel tub for a shallow bath, and he found a fresh travel toothpaste and brush for her. She relishes getting clean and finds clothes including a sundress in the abandoned luggage in the room. Bowen requests that she change again, implying that he cannot help being distracted by her appearance. She finds jeans and a large T-shirt instead. Bowen sleeps but he has nightmares again; he screams Fo’s name often. Finally, Fo wakes him. Bowen says the nightmare was even worse than the ones he had about his mother dying. He determines that he will not take Fo to the lab after all, but that they will run away together to Wyoming. He makes Fo promise to keep the gun with her and to shoot herself if she is caught. Fo agrees. He gives her his watch and tells her he must go to gather another gun and supplies. He tells her to turn herself in to the north gate of the wall if he is not back by 7 a.m. the next morning. They kiss, and Bowen tells Fo she has his heart. Fo tells Bowen she loves him.
