Paul continues to dodge Gloria’s phone calls for a couple of days, and finally she shows up at his apartment and asks if she can come in. Standing in his kitchen, Gloria confesses, “I didn’t know what to say or to do. When you left I cried. I really did. I didn’t even want to think about how I felt about you before. […] I was just so glad that you said it. What I wanted to say to you then […] was that I felt the same way about you” (158-59). They decide to go to The Joint, but before they leave, Gloria asks if they should kiss, and they do.
The Action Group meets at The Joint and decides not to search for the stolen stereo equipment any longer. They turn their attention to the block party, which has inspired their tenants and other locals. Bubba convinces the Action Group that each of them should have a booth. Paul gets his father to help organize the fair.
The fair is a great success. Mr. Pender arrives with his wife, who is confined to a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy. Gloria has a booth from which she sells homemade chocolate kisses.
