A Heart in a Body in the World Chapters 5-8 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 5 Summary

Annabelle wakes up in the top bunk of Grandpa’s RV, with Grandpa asleep in the bunk below her. Annabelle’s mother wants Grandpa to follow Annabelle in the RV, but they both know this would be difficult and unsafe, because Annabelle’s GPS mostly takes her on back trails and down narrow roads. Annabelle and Grandpa agree that Grandpa will meet her at the head of the Iron Horse Trail at the end of the day.

Annabelle begins her run. Soon, the GPS takes her through a wealthy suburban neighborhood. The neighborhood reminds Annabelle of her ex-boyfriend Will, whom she dated off and on during her sophomore and junior years. Annabelle tries to say “Stop” out loud to stop the memories, but she can’t help the memories from coming back to her.

Annabelle remembers meeting Will at a football game their sophomore year. Will lived in a wealthier neighborhood and attended a different high school than Annabelle. Will’s parents, Robert and Tracie, were both lawyers. One day Annabelle and Will are kissing at his house. Will suddenly stops and says his parents think their relationship is getting too serious and that they should date other people. Angry and hurt, Annabelle leaves Will’s house and ignores his calls for the rest of the night.
