Hearts of Spring Page #2

---

Well, you know, Sadie

goes off to college,

you have some time

to maybe, you know,

live it up a little?

It's community

college, Ryder.

She'll still be living at home.

"Living it up" is not

exactly in the curriculum.

Carly, it's been 14 years

since Jeff walked out on you,

and you've done

a wonderful job

raising Sadie,

but it's springtime

It's the perfect time

for a new beginning,

especially for you.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

But it is not easy

to meet new people,

and I'm way out of practice.

Well, you just leave that

up to me.

Wait, what?

Don't be so nervous.

It's like riding a bicycle.

Okay, Conner,

not a toy.

I need to see

your throat again,

so can you open your mouth,

like, real wide?

Mm-mm, no.

Can you open your mouth

real wide like a big old shark,

about to take a bite?

- No!

- No? Why not?

I don't want to be a shark.

What do you want to be?

I want to be a T-Rex.

He just loves dinosaurs.

Okay, why don't you

open your mouth

like a big old T-Rex

about to take a bite?

There we go.

Yeah.

Oh... okay.

Can you just...

Yeah.

Open your mouth wide...

Okay. All right, Conner,

you can jump down.

He really likes you, I can tell.

Yeah...

His throat is a little red,

but I don't think

it's strep,

but we're going to

send his swab down to the lab

just to, uh, to be sure.

Okay? Lauren!

Morning, Tracy.

Good morning.

Would you send

Conner's swab

over to the lab,

and see how fast they get

back to us with results?

Absolutely, Doctor.

I could come back

in a few days,

if you think that'll help?

Uh, no, no.

We'll just see

what the lab says,

and Lauren will give you a call.

Tracy, are you still

at the same address

over in

Deerhurst Park?

Same address.

Just Conner and me.

Me and Conner.

That's not far from

where Dr. Sommers lives.

No kidding?

There's a little

coffee place over there.

What's the name

of that place, Doctor?

Uh, Main Street Coffee Shop.

I know that place.

He's there practically

every morning.

Maybe I'll

see you there.

Maybe.

All right, Conner,

let's get going.

No, I don't wanna to go.

I wanna play.

Okay, well, we're

going to play at home.

I wanna play,

I wanna play, I wanna play...

Okay, yeah, sounds good.

See you, doctor!

Bye.

These are the best of

our new Spring flowers,

so just keep them watered

and out of direct sunlight.

Thank you.

Good night, Lauren.

Sure you won't change

your mind about dinner?

Love you, too.

Sadie?

Troy?

Troy, you here?

I love the way

you look at me

When you say "Hello"

I thought maybe

this was a dream

Until you'd smile...

Thank you.

Best chicken tacos in town.

...It was the way

you looked at me...
