The Girl in the Park Page #6

Yeah, yeah.

Of course.

I'm-- Look, I'm-- I'm sorry

about all this.

Has she ever done

anything Iike this before?

No.

- She on anything?

- No, no, no. It's not Iike that.

It's, um-- She...

My, um-- My sister...

I had a sister who, um,

when she was about 3 years old,

she disappeared.

And, um...

after that--

my mother...

She's changed.

You ever find out

what happened to the girl?

Yeah-- No.

I mean, they never found anything,

but a few months later,

there was another, uh,

murder, and, uh,

it was a kid in Philadelphia.

Same kind of deal.

Vanished from a playground.

And they caught the guy,

and they think that he probably did both.

He died in prison two years ago.

There's that, at least.

Well, look, keep an eye on her.

Ohh!

Thank you.

Hey.

I'm gonna fix that for you.

Julia, are you hungry?

I could run down to the grocery,

or, um, we can order something.

- No.

- Sure?

Okay, come on.

Come on, what?

Come on. Let's get it over with.

- Please.

- All right. All right.

So what are we gonna do about this?

Julia, we don't have to

do anything tonight you don't wanna do.

- You must be very tired.

- You know what that cop told me?

- He told me to keep an eye on you.

- I'm sure he did.

Should I be keeping an eye on you?

If it would make you feel better.

Oh, doing that whole passive thing.

Chris, come on.

This can't go on!

I'm sorry... about everything.

I'm sorry about the park.

I'm sorry about the restaurant.

Who was that at the restaurant?

Someone I thought I knew.

I was wrong.

I mean, I had too much wine.

I had a bad day at work.

It was stupid.

What about the park?

These mothers!

You say two words to their children,

they become hysterical.

But I'm not gonna make excuses.

It was a mistake.

Julia, do you wanna come stay

with us for a couple days?

It's a Iittle dusty,

but there's plenty of room,

and we would love to have you.

Thank you, Celeste.

l'll be all right.

- Are you sure? It's no trouble.

- I'm sure.

Thank you.

It's been, uh--

... not as simple

as I expected,

hoped--

coming back to the city.

I appreciate your patience.

I do.

And now...

You were right.

I am tired.

Bye.

Bye.

- l'll call you tomorrow.

- Okay.

Maybe I should've stayed.

Let's-- Let's give her

some breathing room tonight.

Trust me. I think it's gonna be okay.

I do.

How do you know where I live?

It was on your check.

Ow! Ow! Sh*t!

Sh*t! That really hurt!

Why'd you f***ing

close the door on my hands?

Say "thanks," at least.

What's this?

It's your money.

Some of it, anyway.

Why?

You tried to help me.

I felt bad.

Were you pregnant?

No.

Was everything a Iie?

Most of it.

You're not from Michigan?
