Angelina, presumably a therapist, revisits two topics from a previous session: the need to end conversations with "I love you" and the significance of the name Maame.
The protagonist, Maddie, chooses to first discuss the issue surrounding the need to express love verbally.
Angelina links Maddie's behavior to a craving for love, suggesting it impacts her mental health by leading to people-pleasing behavior.
Maddie agrees with Angelina's assessment and reflects on the nature of being "well-loved" versus being "well-liked."
Maddie considers the strong love she receives from two individuals, Nia and Shu, recollecting instances that demonstrate their deep care for her.
She recognizes that, despite lacking expressions of love from some sources, she is indeed well-loved by her friends.
They then discuss the name Maame. Maddie's initial negative feelings towards the name have evolved, and she now views it with a layered perspective.
Maddie acknowledges that although the name came with pressures, it also provided comfort and learning experiences, helping her define her identity.
Angelina responds positively to Maddie's reflection on the name Maame, marking a moment of understanding and revelation.
The chapter ends with a brief exchange between Nia and Maddie about looking for a nice place to live, to which Maddie responds with enthusiasm.
