**Chap­ter Sum­ma­ry: Dizzy**

Dizzy finds her­self back at the break­fast table, savor­ing laven­der but­ter on gin­ger­bread, thank­ful for her sur­vival after an angel saved her life the day before. Her moth­er, Chef Mom, enters cheer­ful­ly and engages with Dizzy, who unex­pect­ed­ly declares she nev­er wants to die. Her moth­er responds with dis­be­lief, reveal­ing her own strug­gles through let­ters writ­ten to deceased fam­i­ly mem­bers, filled with love and reflec­tion. Dizzy shares her thought of nev­er leav­ing the house again to avoid dan­ger or embar­rass­ment, false­ly claim­ing a heat-induced exit from gym class sparked her depar­ture.

The con­ver­sa­tion takes a humor­ous turn when Dizzy play­ful­ly exclaims she is preg­nant, a joke that hor­ri­fies her moth­er momen­tar­i­ly. After set­ting the record straight, Dizzy dis­clos­es her angel encounter, which her moth­er dis­miss­es, lead­ing to a com­i­cal exchange about fam­i­ly eccen­tric­i­ties and beliefs. Just then, Wyn­ton, her old­er broth­er, arrives with a care­free charm, quick­ly lift­ing

Dizzy’s spir­its and spark­ing love with­in her. The dynam­ic between Wyn­ton and Chef Mom is ten­sion-filled, as she chas­tis­es him for pre­vi­ous mis­deeds and his rela­tion­ship with Dizzy. A rec­on­cil­i­a­tion occurs when Wyn­ton returns his moth­er’s stolen engage­ment ring, explain­ing he sold his motor­cy­cle to retrieve it, which sur­pris­es and soft­ens her heart.

The sit­u­a­tion esca­lates dra­mat­i­cal­ly when Per­fect Miles, Dizzy’s oth­er broth­er, bursts in, seiz­ing Wyn­ton’s new­ly cher­ished bow and break­ing it in a fit of anger, leav­ing ten­sion thick in the air. Despite the chaos, light­heart­ed moments punc­tu­ate the fam­i­ly inter­ac­tions, show­cas­ing deep­er under­ly­ing themes of love, con­flict, and famil­ial bonds. Dizzy begins to pon­der the con­se­quences of her actions, aware she had facil­i­tat­ed Wyn­ton’s vis­it by leav­ing the keys out, and real­izes the impact of her choic­es on their pre­car­i­ous sit­u­a­tion. She car­ries a heavy sense of respon­si­bil­i­ty for what might hap­pen next, ques­tion­ing if she could have pre­vent­ed the impend­ing tur­moil with­in their fam­i­ly.
