Rose arrives in Midwestern city, disoriented and afraid.
Once Norman realizes Rose's flight, he resolves to hunt her down. Rose reluctantly decides to leave Norman, departing from her unidentified city on a bus. Rose realizes that she has passively suffered through Norman's abuse for fourteen years and that if she continues to put up with it, he may well eventually kill her. Nine years later, when Rose is making the bed, she notices a drop of blood on the sheet from her nose the night before Norman had punched her in the face for spilling iced tea on him. The subsequent lawsuit and Internal Affairs investigation has made him even more volatile. Norman also has a violent temper, and was recently accused of assaulting an African-American woman named Wendy Yarrow. Rose briefly considers leaving Norman, but dismisses the idea: Norman is a policeman, and is excellent at finding people. In the prologue, which takes place in 1985, Rose Daniels's husband, Norman, beats her while she is four months pregnant, causing her to suffer a miscarriage.
