This chapter starts out with a scene (which I have some Thoughts about!) and that's about the most exciting thing that happens. Until the very end of the chapter, where we learn something (unsurprising) about the identity of the arsonist at Christian's office.

Content warnings: terrible negotiation, questionable sexual hygiene, homophobia mention, brief discussion of injury/infection, poop mention, possessiveness, controlling behavior, arson mention, assault mention.
