# Chapter 32: The Memory That Would Not Stay Buried
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 32 of "Forget You Saw Her free digital audiobook." This is one of those chapters that reaches straight into your chest and refuses to let go. It is painful, intimate, and strangely beautiful all at once.
The chapter opens with Isabel holding Andrea’s hand, and a phrase from the Book of Mormon echoing in her mind: “They see as they are seen.” Isabel remembers memorizing it for a scripture mastery contest when she was eleven, back when she wondered what it meant. Now, after death, after everything, she understands. Andrea’s memories are not like watching a movie. They are immersive. They are alive. They come with smell, sensation, emotion, and terror. Isabel does not just see what Dennis Beaumont did to Andrea—she feels it.
Andrea’s first memory begins with fragile hope: her fingers tracing the delicate wings of a handmade monarch butterfly earring, a token of friendship she clings to like a lifeline. Then Dennis comes home early on her birthday. Irritation turns to fear. The scratchy carpet prickles beneath her feet. The stale smell of the old house becomes suffocating. She is alone with him. He chases her up the stairs. His footsteps pound faster behind her. His hand grabs her arm. Her head strikes the banister hard enough to burst static behind her eyes, hard enough to make everything go dark—but not hard enough to kill her.
Then comes the leash. Dennis wraps it around Andrea’s neck and pulls until her ragged breaths stop and her heart races in panic. Isabel feels Andrea’s disbelief as she stands beside her own body, realizing her father has just taken her life rather than save it. She hears the same awful words Dennis once said to Isabel: “Shh. Don’t fuss. The more you fuss, the worse it’ll be.” Andrea’s rage burns as Dennis chops her body into pieces, puts them in garbage bags, and lies to the police while she walks his hallways as a ghost. And then, at the very end, a fragile hope returns when Andrea sees Sabina, her birth mother, standing at the edge of the Beaumonts’ front yard.
Isabel is not prepared for the intensity. It takes everything in her not to let go of Andrea’s hand as the worst memories swallow them both whole. But she knows—she can feel it—that being seen means the world to Andrea. So she stays. Hands clasped tight in the car on the dark driveway, they are pulled under again and again by a tsunami of memories. Hours pass without Isabel realizing it. Sabina has long since gone inside the Airbnb.
When Andrea finally draws her hand back, Isabel shakes her head in horror and amazement. Outside, the stars flash bright in a clear sky while the wind howls. Dogs all over the neighborhood howl with it, a weird, tuneless chorus. Porch lights blink on and off down the street. A man a few doors down leans out his window and yells, “Shut up, you filthy animals!” Some dogs go quiet. Then one breaks into a long, soulful wail—like the world’s loudest, worst violin solo. The man shouts a string of curses, but the howl outlasts him. He slams the window shut.
And then something unexpected happens. Andrea’s serious expression dissolves into a tentative grin. She covers her mouth as if she can wipe the smile away. Isabel stares in disbelief, but a smile tugs at her own lips too. After all the horror they have just witnessed, laughing should not make sense. But it does. Isabel laughs—big, echoing laughs that would have made her belly hurt if she were alive. Andrea closes her eyes and giggles right alongside her. When their laughter fades, the dogs have gone quiet. So has the wind. They sit in silence for a few minutes.
Then Andrea holds out her hand again. It is Isabel’s turn.
Isabel has spent both life and death walling off her memories of Dennis. What was the point in remembering? They are part of her—a festering Tell-Tale Heart—but she never told another living soul what Dennis did to her when she was sixteen. Not after that night. Not after her parents sent her to her room instead of sitting her down and getting the whole horrible story. She told herself nobody would believe her. Nobody would ever understand. But now everything has changed. There are many reasons being dead sucks. This, though—this is the best kind of magic Isabel can imagine, even if it is going to hurt like hell.
She meets Andrea’s gaze, takes her hand, and brings her back with her to that dark night in the church building with the scratchy wallpaper.

## Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is devastating in the best possible way. It turns trauma into something shared, something witnessed, and that act of witnessing becomes an act of love. The contrast between the horror of Andrea’s memories and the sudden, almost absurd laughter with the howling dogs is masterfully done. It reminds us that even in the darkest grief, there can be a moment of connection that keeps two souls tethered to each other. Isabel’s decision to stay—to really see Andrea—is heroic in a quiet, profound way. And that final hand extended back to Isabel? Chilling, brave, and impossibly tender.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Next, we will finally step into Isabel’s buried memory of what Dennis did to her when she was sixteen. Andrea will witness it, just as Isabel witnessed Andrea’s death, and that shared trauma will bind them even closer. I predict we will learn crucial details about the church building, the scratchy wallpaper, and perhaps the true extent of Dennis’s pattern of violence. Andrea’s reaction may be rage, grief, or both—and it could push them toward a plan to expose Dennis, protect Sabina, or even find a way to make him pay. The emotional fallout will be immense, but so will the loyalty between these two ghosts.
