Cecelia and Layla visit a local boutique owned by a woman named Tessa. Cecelia and Layla have been spending more time together since Cecelia became involved with the Ravenhood. At the boutique, the friends immediately notice how expensive the clothing is and how desperate Tessa seems to make a sale. Cecelia plans to tell Sean that Tessa’s business is struggling so he can help her. The Ravenhood takes money from corporate enterprises and redistributes it to local Triple Falls businesses “to keep them afloat” (295). Cecelia still doesn’t understand how they haven’t gotten caught, but she’s come to admire what they do. She’s let herself embrace her relationship with Sean and Dominic in recent weeks, too, and has since realized she’s “in love with both of them” (298).
In the car afterward, Cecelia shares her feelings about Sean and Dominic with Layla. She also explains her fear of telling her mom and Christy about their polyamorous arrangement. Layla agrees it’s best to keep it secret. When they arrive at Cecelia’s house, Cecelia is surprised to see Roman outside waiting for her. After Layla leaves, Roman warns her about making relationship mistakes.
