Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Mateo's mother, Rosa Lopez, is shocked when she sees Sila, causing her to drop and shatter her teacup in surprise. Sila quickly explains that she wants to bring Mateo to see Veda. Rosa's reaction is surprise but also concern for Mateo's well-being. Sila encourages Rosa to think about it and then leaves, noticing Mateo and Waffles watching her from the window as she goes.
Mateo spends time researching elephants to get ready for the weekend. He also thinks about Sila and why she is interested in spending time with him.
Rosa gives her permission for Mateo to go, and on Saturday, Alp and Sila pick him up. Mateo wears camouflage clothes he saw others wearing during his elephant research. Rosa provides a bag of food because Mateo is not adventurous with what he eats. When they reach Gio's house, Sila mentions that Mateo might feel slightly nervous.
