Question
Read the excerpt from “Ibrahim.”

We didn’t need Malik to translate that. We stopped and Ibrahim got out and sprinted down the street, still shouting. Ahead, a woman about my age walked in the opposite direction. When she heard Ibrahim's voice, she turned. I will never forget the look on her face.

What is Mary most likely thinking in this moment?
