The Bodyguard Chapters 21-26 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 21 Summary

Content Warning: This section features discussions of addiction.

Hannah plans to keep her distance from Jack, but that night he has a nightmare and she cannot help but wake him up and comfort him. He asks her to stay in bed with him, and she agrees because she wants to, but neither of them falls asleep. She asks him about his recurring nightmare and encourages him to tell the story when he is awake in order to change the ending and lay the nightmare to rest. Hesitantly, he tells Hannah about the dream, and how in it he is driving his new sports car with Drew when they hit a patch of black ice and drive off a bridge. The car falls into the river, and Jack tries to get them both out, but Drew does not try to escape, and the dream ends with Jack drowning while trying to swim to the surface. Hannah asks why he has the same dream every time, and Jack tells her that, aside from him drowning, the dream depicts what actually happened. Hannah cannot bring herself to ask if there is any truth to the rumors that he was driving under the influence; instead, she asks if the accident caused the rift between him and Hank.
