The Lake House

Sadie arrives back at her grandfather’s house a while later. Louise has left a gift for him on the table. Sadie had to make a quick exit from Clive’s place when his daughter came by because she doesn’t like him obsessing over the old cold case, and Clive doesn’t want his daughter to know what Sadie is really doing there visiting him. Sadie’s cover was that she was Clive’s new bridge partner. Sadie makes herself a sandwich, goes upstairs, and reads over the notes she took at Clive’s.

It was June 26 when police discovered Daffyd Llewellyn’s body; all evidence pointed at suicide and that he had nothing to do with Theo’s disappearance, that his death just coincided with Theo’s disappearance. There are some notes about Constance deShiel but most of her statements cannot be taken at face value because she was suffering from dementia. Sadie doesn’t feel that she’s made much progress.

Sadie goes for a run with the dogs later in the evening. She runs the normal route but doesn’t go up to the house because it is getting late and she doesn’t want to be in the woods when it’s fully dark. At the lake, Sadie makes a grass boat, which she learned how to do from an article in young Alice Edevane’s family newspaper.
