Dad walks in while Albie is working on the second, almost-complete model airplane. Dad is impressed and asks Albie how he did it so quickly; Albie tells him about the previous model and what happened to it. Dad apologizes to Albie, and together, they assemble the last bits of the second model airplane.
Albie leaves a last note for Betsy, telling her how great he thinks she is—just the way she is.
Mrs. Rouse asks Albie for a note explaining his absence from school, and he doesn’t know what to say. She asks him to bring it in the next day, and he nods, not knowing what else to do.
