This chapter chronicles Ronnie's development, and she is attentive to Jonah.
Ronnie tells him that Jonah ate, and as they leave, she notices how tired and frail her father looks. Steve realizes that he lost track of time and needs to get home to feed Jonah and prepare to camp out with him. Steve is having a coughing fit and says it is because the church is so dusty and then explains that the project has stalled due to lack of funding and that Pastor Harris is looking for someone to house the piano.
Listening to her father play, Ronnie reconsiders her father's motives for playing the piano and realizes that her demand six weeks ago was childish. Ronnie finds her father playing a new piano in the church, which is undergoing renovations. Ronnie makes Jonah dinner and then heads down the beach toward the church. Jonah and Steve are planning to camp out and protect the eggs. Ronnie discovers that her dad has been taking naps and going over to the church to play the new piano.
