Chapter 4 covers the author-event rhythm: talk, Q and A, then a long autograph line. Tess handles it like a pro and even when she is tired, she stays kind to readers. The whole thing feels routine and successful.
Her back-and-forth with Ramona stays upbeat, and there is a sense of two women enjoying a decent public evening. That normal tone gives the section a strange calm before impact. King lets the ordinary breathe so the coming turn lands harder.
What stands out to me is the contrast. By ending this chapter in everyday goodwill, the story reminds us that catastrophe can sit one road away from a perfectly normal night.
