FULL SUMMARY:
In chapter 13, Luan and his grandmother reach a small town where the only open place is a Spar store. Luan stays with Dolores the sheep, drawing the attention of local children. As his grandmother fetches food, Luan interacts with the kids and captures some pictures to send to Lana. They journey through the town where his grandmother points out her old school, the home she grew up in, and her father's former workplace. Although Luan feigns interest, he is more interested in the food his grandmother bought. Arriving at what used to be the local school's rugby field, Luan notes the disrepair, hinting at a place long forgotten. They continue exploring, eventually stopping near a concrete dam with a decapitated windpump by its side. Here, they rest and enjoy their lunch while Dolores grazes nearby. Afterwards, Luan's grandmother insists they climb the windpump. Despite the dangerous heights and his grandmother's age, they both make it to the top safely. The view offers a beautiful sight of the town and its surroundings. From this vantage point, Luan's grandmother makes a shocking revelation - this is the spot where her late husband proposed to her. In a poignant, symbolic gesture, she opens the urn housing their grandfather's ashes and releases them into the wind. Mentioning his grandfather as a 'good man', she finally closes the urn and announces their next course of action: she wants to introduce Luan to someone.

FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk dertien kom Luan en Ouma Alice by die dorpie Carnarvon aan. Hulle stop by die Spar vir kos terwyl die kinders buite met skaap Delores speel. Ouma Alice deel tjips uit aan die kinders voordat hulle weer pad vat. Op pad deur die dorpie, toon Ouma Alice aan Luan waar sy grootgeword het, albehal hy meer interes in die gekoopte kos as die verlate geboue toon. Hulle ry deur na die skougronde waar Ouma Alice haar jeug omskryf. Die veld lyk nie meer soos 'n sportveld nie, maar Ouma Alice wys op waar die atletiekbyeenkomste en rugbywedstryde plaasgevind het. Hulle gaan sit langs 'n sementdam om te eet, terwyl Delores vrylik om wei. Na hulle ete, bestuur Ouma Alice na 'n windpomp sonder 'n kop. Tot Luan se verbasing, klim sy die windpomp. Met 'n bietjie aanmoediging, volg Luan tot bo op die platform. Hier onthul Ouma Alice dat haar man, Luan se oupa, haar bo op daardie windpomp gevra het om met hom te trou. Sy haal 'n silwer blikkie uit wat die as van Luan se oupa bevat en sy laat dit in die wind oor die veld wegwaai. Nadat hulle die as uitgestrooi het, nooi Ouma Alice Luan om iemand anders te gaan ontmoet.
