Sheba, now a teenager working in a record store in Philadelphia, reconnects with Rusty after they catch up in a nearby diner. They talk until sunset, Rusty filling her in on Branford, and Sheba taking it all in. Both inwardly process the moment, and the fact that they are no longer kids, but young adults who are attracted to each other.
