half an hour to go three blocks,
unless I carry her.
- Daddy, I'm finished.
- Are you sure? We just got here.
Okay. All right,
here we go.
Ready?
One, two, three.
- Oops.
- Oh, hold on for a second.
- There, thank you.
- Are you okay?
No problem.
It was then while watching Brad
kneel down at his son's feet
that Sarah found herself gripped by
an unexpected pang of sadness.
"Don't go," she thought.
"Don't leave me here
with the others."
- It was nice talking to you.
- Same here.
Wait! Um...
Come here. Just...
come here.
You see those women
over there?
Just, yeah, don't--
don't look.
You know what
they call you?
What?
The prom king.
Oh God, really?
Yeah, they mean it
as a compliment.
You're a big character
Wow.
Um, so one of them bet me $5
I couldn't get your phone number.
Five bucks, huh?
Yeah.
Could we split
it 50-50?
It could be
arranged.
It doesn't have to be
your real number.
Oh, well, you know, in that case, sure.
You got a pen?
Great. Oh sh*t, no I--
um, no I don't.
- Uh...
- Well...
No wait, just--
wait.
You know what'd
really be funny?
If you gave me a hug.
- You think?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- All right, come here.
Oh my God.
Do you want to really
freak them out?
Yeah.
Who's gonna talk in there?
- Oh my God!
- Troy!
- Lucy!
- Isabelle!
Isabelle! Come here, Isabelle.
Okay, we have to go.
- Isabelle!
- Troy!
- I think that worked.
- Yeah, I think so.
- Um, well, it was nice meeting you.
- Yeah.
It's okay, yeah.
We're gonna go.
- It's all right.
- Lucy?
We're gonna go home.
Okay, here we go,
good girl.
Good girl.
I'm sure your daughter
found that very educational.
His name is Brad.
He's a lawyer
and he's really very nice.
For the past few days
Sarah hadn't been able
to concentrate on anything
but the prom king
and the curious thing
that had happened
between them
on the playground.
She didn't feel
shame or guilt,
only a sense of profound
disorientation,
as if she had been
kidnapped by aliens
then released unharmed
a few hours later.
As he had so often
in recent days,
Brad mentally reenacted
the kiss by the swing set.
He still couldn't believe
it had really happened.
And with all those women
and children watching.
Troy! Troy!
Aaron had been particularly
curious about what he'd seen.
Why you hugging
that lady?
Well, that's what
I'm trying to show you with Bozo.
Sometimes it's a game that adults play
to show that they're friends.
You say, "Hi,
I'm your friend."
Aaron was skeptical.
They returned to the playground
the following morning,
but no one was there.
Sarah hadn't shown up
