the reason being, I personally think it makes more sense, verity waved to crew from her window that one time because she loved him. She probably wasn't in her best state of mind after Chastin died so wasn't alert at the time of the boat ride. She was probably thinking about saving the weak one so they would both live. I think it also proves why everything in the basement was rummaged through as she was looking for the manuscript. Its also why she didn't escape when she locked the bedroom door as she still didn't have the money. I think the reason she was at the top of the stairs that night was she'd gone to look for the manuscript and then saw her husband with Lowen and got carried away and just watched it happen. I also think Jeremy had already read the manuscript as he said "Where did you find that?" and he said he only read her first novel as he didn't want to get inside her head but he loved the manuscript for her first one. Maybe the reason she told Crew not to talk about the boat ride is that she didn't want Lowen to get the wrong idea and try to kill Verity herself? Then again I think Colleen Hoover personally left clues for both theories so it was possible to believe both. Also verity means truth which may be another clue that the letters true.(less)
