Full summary
In Chapter 29, Frankie takes a few days away from school, finds solace in repeating Imogen Heap’s song "Speeding Cars", and avoids communication with her parents. At school later in the week, news of Milan's critical health circulates with reports of Milan’s father absent from the stage. Daniel offers Frankie a custom CD and comfort, leaving quickly after her tears. Frankie visits Gloria's cafe where Gloria, dressed in a long chocolate-brown coat and large silver cross, reveals her shaved head. Gloria non-verbally invites Frankie to a table and Frankie asks about Milan's father. Gloria responds saying he left the cat's key behind. Gloria avoids some questions, and when pressed, concedes the doctors haven’t yet determined Milan's brain damage, encouraging Frankie that Milan is receiving the best care. Gloria brings tea and they toast "To life!" Frankie, struggling to breathe, pleads for the house keys to feed Milan's cat, which Gloria retrieves. Gloria encourages Frankie to visit Milan, claiming he'd hear her, even unconscious. Outside, Gloria hugs Frankie and advises asking her mother to take her to visit Milan. Frankie conveys her fear of being misunderstood but Gloria insists. She explains feeding the cat twice daily and assures Frankie to claim she's helping Gloria if Milan's father spots her. Frankie tries to enter Milan's home but panics at the sight of his domestic environment and hearing the cat's crying. She runs home, unable to face his cat.
