"Hold on." Adams puts down his current work down, walks over to the door of his shed and looks on with surprise as to who's at the door...
"Well don't look so surprised. I come over all the time." Joan says laughing. "So where were you after lunch?"
"I had some stuff on my mind. A really great idea for a new project, actually. Had to come home before I lost it."
"Why have you been so upset today?"
"It's ....I don't know. Just weird coming back to school again after the summer we've had and everything."
"Is this because of Elizabeth?" Silence fell over both of them and Joan had her answer. "I thought you would be over that hill when you read her note. It's not your fault, Adam."
"Yeah you'd think. I don't know, Jane. I felt so much better after your mom read the note and when you gave me that picture. And when you told you your secret when though you were sick. Just when I thought everything was going great, Liz brought me back to reality and that the realization that my mom's not coming back. I'm not gonna kill myself over it but...it just sucks, ya know?"
Joan walks over to Adam, puts her arms around his neck and lets Adam cry on her shoulder. His crying stopped and they pulled away.
"I think you should tell Liz this. She thinks you hate for some other reason."
"I don't hate her. Why would she think th....oh Jane it's not the 60's anymore."
"Well why don't you tell her that? C'mon, I'll drive you." Joan and Adam walk out hand-in-hand
