Isobel moved farther into the kitchen, not knowing whether to be relieved that her mother hadn't had an atomic meltdown, or mortified that she'd taken it upon herself to play head chef with the nearest thing Trenton High had to a Dark Lord.

About This Quote

Isobel is trying to get her mother to understand the concept of taking action. She is trying to convince her mother that she can do something for herself if she wants to. The idea of playing head chef is not something that Isobel would normally suggest, but it seems that her mother is not in a position to be afraid of taking action. Her mother's attitude is similar to the way Isobel feels when she knows she has to take objective measures in her life. She doesn't want to be hurt, but she also doesn't want to give up on what she wants or go back on her word.
