Gone girl

今天是我們第二天的讀書時刻，上期講到Amy失蹤了，大家都很奇怪，Amy到底去了哪里，那么今天我們來看看描寫Amy的章節，沒失蹤前，她都在日記里寫了什么？

Amy

But still. It is our third wedding anniversary and I am alone in our apartment, my face all mask-tight from tears because, well, because: Just this afternoon, I get a voice mail from Nick, and I already know it’s going to be bad, I know the second the voice mail begins because I can tell he’s calling from his cell and I can hear men’s voices in the background and a big, roomy gap, like he’s trying to decide what to say, and then I hear this taxi-blurred voice, a voice that is already wet and lazy with booze, and I know I am going to be angry--that quick inhale, the lips going tight, the shoulders up, the I so don’t want to be mad but I am going to be feeling. Do men not know that feeling? You don’t want to be mad, but you’re obligated to be, almost. Because a rule, a good rule, a nice rule is being broken.

Nick發現老婆失蹤后，小說的形式是Nick一章，Amy一章，這段是Amy的日記，描述自己的心情。Amy充滿期待地要和丈夫Nick一起慶祝結婚三周年，可是她收到語音信箱的結果是，丈夫有事不能回家。其實是丈夫公司有員工被裁，大家去喝酒了。Amy一定覺得丈夫不愛自己了，一定覺得很失落。
