Gone girl

今天是我们第二天的读书时刻，上期讲到Amy失踪了，大家都很奇怪，Amy到底去了哪里，那么今天我们来看看描写Amy的章节，没失踪前，她都在日记里写了什么？

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发现老婆失踪后，小说的形式是Nick一章，Amy一章，这段是Amy的日记，描述自己的心情。Amy充满期待地要和丈夫Nick一起庆祝结婚三周年，可是她收到语音信箱的结果是，丈夫有事不能回家。其实是丈夫公司有员工被裁，大家去喝酒了。Amy一定觉得丈夫不爱自己了，一定觉得很失落。
