Just Listen Chapter 7 Summary

  • When Annabel sits down for lunch Owen asks her if she listened to his show. She tries to find a nice way to describe it, but Owen calls her out on her vagueness and tells her to tell him the truth.
  • So she says that she found it noisy, bizarre, and weird—and instead of being upset he's totally fine with it. What a concept, right?
  • The next day Annabel pulls out her lunch and a note falls out from her mom. It talks about how proud her mom is of her, even if she didn't get the Mooshka job; Annabel grimaces and Owen asks her what's wrong.
  • Instead of hiding the truth, Annabel tells him that she wants to quit modeling but doesn't want to upset her mom—she even tells him that she and Sophie had a falling out over the summer.
  • Owen tells her to go ahead and practice telling her mom that she wants to quit modeling. He stands in for her mom in this practice conversation, and Annabel starts to say it but gives up—she just can't do it.
  • After school she sees Owen walking with his headphones in (he has "transportation issues"). Instead of letting him go by, she tells him to get into her car—it's her turn to give him a ride.
