Hi The image there is of Sophie stepping down from the stage and perhaps making her way to a seat separate from her mother (or maybe just going to the exit). However, her mother moves into Sophie's path and - happy with this or not - Sophie meets with her mother. If that is the meaning, the word is correct.
