Chapter 6 Summary

Tibby’s shift at Wallman’s is interrupted by a commotion; running over to investigate, she sees a young girl named Bailey Graffman lying unconscious on the floor. Tibby yells for someone to call an ambulance and checks Bailey’s wallet for further information. When EMTs arrive, Tibby surprises herself by asking if she can come along to the hospital. In the ambulance, she holds Bailey’s hand.

Over dinner with her family, Carmen struggles to suppress her anger. Krista says that Carmen looks different than she imagined, and Carmen snaps back, asking if Krista is surprised that she is Puerto Rican. She leaves the table to call her mother. On the phone, Carmen sobs, insisting that she hates her father’s new family, and they hate her. Carmen’s mother asks if she is mad at her father, but Carmen denies it.

Bridget joins a run led by Eric. She keeps pace with him throughout, and they flirt with each other until Eric asks about her parents. Bridget reluctantly tells him that her mother is dead. The two of them finish the run ahead of the group and end up alone together on a small beach, where they go swimming.
