One Crazy Summer Chapter 31

So

• Turns out, Cecile had been released just in time to make it to the rally.
• The girls see her in the crowd and go running toward her, happy she heard them recite her poem.
• It's weird, but Cecile seems different—she even compliments Vonetta and Fern (without actually saying Fern's name of course).
• But the crowd surrounds her before she can compliment her oldest daughter, which Delphine is sure she was just about to do.
• Then Cecile leaves. She's not one for the spotlight or rallies; she wants to go home.
• The girls, on the other hand, stay and enjoy themselves.
• They're flying back to Brooklyn tomorrow, so Fern and Vonetta play with the younger Ankton sisters, while Delphine and Eunice sit together, good friends now.
• Then Hirohito comes over.
• Eunice, perceptive as she is, calls him out for liking Delphine.
• And then Eunice gets Delphine by saying she likes Hirohito, too.
• This is when Delphine thinks of Eunice as more of a sister than a friend: No one has ever gotten her like this before.
• Instead of denying the crushes, Hirohito and Delphine both just say "So," which is as good as a marriage vow when you're eleven going on twelve.
