Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Elizabeth asks Mrs. Hameed about the dishes she cooks, and Sara guides Elizabeth to Sara’s room before the cooking conversation becomes too in-depth. Sara worries about how Elizabeth will perceive her room, but Elizabeth loves it and tells Sara to worry less about what others think about her. She also encourages Sara to discuss art with her parents because she sees Sara’s talent and believes Sara should do something with it. They then watch YouTube videos to find a new recipe idea.
They leave Sara’s room later with no new recipe ideas. They ask Mrs. Hameed if they can help, but she refuses because she is the event organizer. Mrs. Hameed finishes up the catering orders she must deliver. Elizabeth drops a hint about Sara’s business logo. Though they need to pick a recipe, Elizabeth asks about Sara’s grandparents and expresses sorrow that Sara cannot see them often because they live in Pakistan. Sara fears that Elizabeth’s friendship will not last but likes that it gets easier.
Elizabeth’s mother arrives to pick her up when Mrs. Hameed returns from delivering catering orders. The two women call everyone together to announce the surprise—they both have their citizenship exam interviews scheduled for the same day.
