George arrives home to find that Clare has unexpectedly left for a walk, setting off a discussion with his parents about their troubled marriage. Their interactions reveal an undercurrent of discontent, with George expressing frustration over Clare’s behavior and his family prompting him to be cautious about her friendship with a literary man named Malise.
