What is pollys reaction when the trio comes upon a boy fishing

When the trio encountered the boy fishing in the woods, Polly signaled Amari and Tidbit to hide in the pine trees. When she started conversing with the boy, she tried to exhibit boldness and fearlessness but truly her heart was beating.

Explanation:

As Polly talked with the boy, the boy revealed to her that he has been monitoring their movements. Polly was startled when the boy told her that. The boy whose name is Nathan later hid them in his barn and fed them. When his father discovered, the trio escaped and continued their journey.

The question is culled from "Copper Sun" which was written by Sharon M. Draper.

Copper Sun is a story of a 15-year-old young girl, known as Amari who is divided and separated from her African home when some white men visited her village. She was sold into slavery in 1738. Also, the story revealed the life of Polly, a 17-year-old indentured servant.
