Chapter Two

              T. Ray (Lily doesn't call her father "Dad") picks Lily up from the jail and takes her home. Lily decides to runaway, so she packs her suitcase, and sneaks Rosaleen out of the hospital where her injuries from the fight were being treated. They both start to walk along the highway, until a man in a cantaloupe truck picks them up and takes them to Tiburon, South Carolina, a place Lily found written on the back of a photo she took from a bag of her mother's things. Rosaleen and Lily spend the night next to a creek outside of Tiburon. It is apparent from the last paragraph, and earlier sections, that Lily misses her mother very much, and wonders about the only memory she has about her mother, when she is killed.
