And While We Were Here Page #4

---

That's what it was, right?

I got pregnant so we got married.

I lost the baby.

I'm sorry.

I didn't go back after

that to the States.

Did you ever hear that story

about the red string?

I think I might have. Tell me.

It's like this Asian proverb.

Says that anyone you're

destined to meet, like...

your soul mate or your

family or, you know...

someone you bump into on the street,

we're all connected...

by this red string.

It can be tangled or stretched,

but it can never be broken.

There's this moment in the tape...

I'm sitting, waiting, in the airport bar

for my flight...

and I'm talking into the recorder...

rambling on about how I'm about to embark

on this amazing adventure...

and how I'm gonna show World War ll

from a totally different perspective.

But?

I don't know if it's that interesting.

That's the whole point, isn't it?

Keeping it interesting for yourself.

Maybe.

Maybe I just wanna write about nothing.

Everything is nothing.

All the best.

Make a Wish, huh?

Make it great.

Okay.

Hey!

- Are you ready?

- What do you mean, am I ready?

- You ready?

- What?

- Grab my hand. Go, go, go!

- What? Why? Oh, my God!

- Go!

- Oh, my gosh!

- Why? What do you mean?

- Go!

- Okay!

- Okay!

- Okay!

- What?

- It's the Caribinieri!

- What?

- The police! Come on!

- No! No! No!

Yeah! Yeah, yeah!

We can't go back! If we

go back, we get arrested!

- Okay,

- Run!

We can't pay if we

haven't got any money!

Oh, God. Come here.

Oh, God.

- Hey. Hey.

- What?

Would it make you feel better

if I said I set the whole thing up?

Yes, if it's true.

Is it true?

I paid the check when I

went to the bathroom.

You're horrible.

You're horrible.

- You're a mean. horrible person.

- Come on, let's go.

Come on, come on.

Quick! Let's go!

- Why are we still running?

- I don't know why we're still running.

Oh, my gosh.

It went up my nose.

Will you come back?

Maybe.

"Maybe" is not a "no"...

and since I don't have a phone...

you're gonna have to

give me your number.

- For cheap thrills and future crimes committed.

- No.

Fair enough.

I'd better go...

catch a ferry.

Hey.

Why do violists...

keep their viola cases

on their dashboards?

Why?

So they can park in handicapped spots.

Oh.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

You're awake.

No, I've got so much of

this stuff to get through.

You bought fruit.

Nice.

These are the great big events...

the things you think you'll always remember,

and you do...

but there are other smaller..

Picking a blackberry that's

been in the sun or...

brushing the fingertip of someone

you didn't know you loved...

until you touched them.

Nellie was this little collie...
