Gin, it was perfect.

- Did you like it?
- What do you think?

Good I'm glad.

- And you read all these?
- Yeah, I read it.

- What's your favorite?
- This question is not fair.

Ah, go. You will not tell everyone.

Look to the left. I think it's ... on top.

T. H. Lorenz, The Rainbow.

Is this your favorite?

I think you'll like it.

Take this one.



Right. Thanks.

Where did you get that one?

- California.
- Oh, I loved it.

You take me?

To California?

Yes.

Clear.

Excuse me. It's the habit, I guess.

"Am I making you nervous?"
- No.

I just ...

I'll stop.

Right. That can wait until tomorrow.

- Talk to me.
- What do you want to hear?

All. Update me.



Always ask of my life
but I'm so interested in you.

Well, it's hard for my life to be glamorous.

You're not talking seriously.

He loves to read and travel and meet people.

- I think that's wonderful.
- Thanks.

But there are good things going on with you.

I know. I just ...

It's hard not to imagine a life like mine.
That's just what I do.

So it's a dreamer.

Ambiance can be something very healthy.

You have matured.

It's a good thing.

Can you pick another one to take with me?

Yes of course.

Come on, help me get one.

Comes.

- I can not.
- Please.

"You're shaking."
- We have to stop.

Do you find me attractive?

- You do not do that.
"You can be honest with me.

Says you want me.

What I want does not have
nothing to do with what I ...

I can see you inside.

You have to go.

You have to go.

- Mrs. Turner.
- Rose, ol .

- I'm sorry.
"I was looking for you earlier."

Where did you run away from?

I had a few things to solve.

Do not worry. Ruth took the girls
swimming in his absence.

I'm sure she loves to spoil them.

They were so excited.

As I was saying,
there was nothing left for you to do.

You will get very busy.
when the group returns.

I'm going to end here and go on my way.

Thanks.

Al .

Hi, Rose. o Bobby.

I wanted to talk to you ...

Al .

Rose?

Hi, it's Bobby.

Hi how are you?

Hmm, great. I...

Actually, I called to say that I ...

I'm sorry about the other night. And I...

Other night? Ah understood.
I forgot all about it.

Forgot?

Well ... so it does not make sense to remember.

I've been thinking a lot about you.

and I would like to see you again.

Would you like to have dinner this weekend?

You caught me at a bad time.

I understand.

So you're upset?

No.

I'm not mad at you.

No you. You're great. That's it

I do not ...

Listen, you caught me at a bad time.

I'm not ready to have dinner.

All right?

I understand.

Sometimes I also want to be alone.

I'm no different from you, you know?

I know.

You're a good friend.

Bobby, I'm sorry. I did not mean that ...

I will not give up on you, Rose.

Maybe if ...

To the

- Hi.
- Hi.

Sit down.

What brings you here? Is everything alright?

Yes. I just wanted to see you.

What exactly are you doing?

- What you mean?
"Do you know what I mean?"

- I...
- Yesterday ...

Whatever you're doing, you have to stop.

What are you doing?

I never wanted that to happen.

I just feel like I ... I just ...

I really wanted to kiss you again.

You know, I think it would be
we pretended that this did not happen.

She's not being serious.

My head is consumed by it.
I mean, I can not sleep.

None of this is going to happen between us again.

- No. You do not mean that.
- I want to.

Why not, exactly?

That is not open to discussion.

Rose

The things I do

they are not certain.

- What?
- Listen.

- What you ...
- Just listen.

You have a chance to be a
healthy and normal girl

I have to protect this.

You know, this news will pass.

You will find a man who can

take care of you and give everything you deserve.

Can you hear yourself?

I can only imagine in

wonderful in my life.

That does not make them right.

No one, I mean, no one can know that.

What if it's not right?

I see how you look at me.

I know you like it, too.

I do not know how we'll continue
But we'll find out.

I always find a way. You know that.

You are 18 years old.

What's up?

Just kiss me again.

I think you need to leave.

Do not say that.

And you can not come here
every three minutes of your day.

People have their way of making assumptions.

Good night.

Can I help you?

I wanted to find the main office.
I just wanted to leave a package.

Excuse me.

Actually, I do not know where.

Care to point the right direction?

I do not care at all.

But it's closed now.

Afternoon, you know?

You can leave it with me. There it is.

Who's the lucky one?

- To Rose.
- Are you Bobby?

Yes. Do you know her?

Yes.

She told you about me.

Said.

- And you ...?
- Bobby.

Afternoon.

And this is a girls' camp.

Maybe next time
want to deliver in the morning.

- In the morning.
- Does not sound right, you know?

But can you make sure she gets it?

Certainly.

Thank you.

Sorry to bother you.

There, I'm Gin.

Sounds familiar.

I think I heard you too.

Small world, right?

Was it nice to meet you, miss?

Virginia.

I'm glad to see that
I'm not here tonight.

I do not know why.

I just wanted to walk.
- I know why.

Is it true?

Even the older ones.

You're telling a truth.

But you deserve some credit.

I'll make sure I do that.

Thanks for the beer.

Always dear.

Ol .

Hi.

I did not expect anyone here so early.

In fact, he was about to leave.

I am seeing.

Do you mind staying a little longer?

Come on, walk with me.

OK.

It has not been a week since.

I missed your visits.

I've been working on things.

I read the book you gave me.

AND?

I've never read anything like it,
But it's so true, you know.

As they say that man was born,
but it came in the body of a woman.

Much of this is true, but

in some ways it still seems challenging.

For many people, yes.

How did you feel?

Renovated.

I have seen so many of my thoughts
written on those pages.

But sometimes, to cut the heart.

Why cut the heart?

Because now it's not so different.

You still have to adjust.

Even choosing our own way

we end up sacrificing something.

One way or another.

I know what you mean.

I do not think you know.

People assume that a woman
My age does not know what he wants.

And it may be that you do not have your experience

But I can trust my instincts because

I know you are not blinded by fear.

You think I act out of fear?

Is not that why you gave me the book?

To make me feel better
about having big dreams.

I gave the book because I thought I would like it.

To make me feel better
about being an impotent girl?

- No, not like that.
- To show me that it does not matter what you do.

I can not be like you.
That I can never have you?

- Why would the world knock me down?
- I promise you'll try.

You have something good with that boy and
is willing to throw everything away

because of this blind passion for me?

Open your eyes, child.

Hey, wait a minute.

Stop.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. I should not have said that.

I love you.

I Love. But I'm not a child.

You've involved me and now
is afraid to take what we have.

- You're scared ...
- What we have?

What do you think we have?

You know what.

What we have is a friendship, nothing more.

I'll be like this with or without you.

Why are you trying so hard to get away?

I have no idea.

You have no idea how lonely you've been.

You know, sometimes I do not think so.
I would know what to do if someone loved me.

Because I'm so used to being alone.

And I think...

Well, I just think I adore you.

And I do not want your life to be a struggle.

You have to believe that I can only
Doing right with you as a friend.

I can not be your friend.

Why do you decide who you are?

Why are you suffering?

I'm hurt too.

Every time he insists
in treating me as a child.

Whenever you try to fix me.

But you know what? You can not fix me.

Just as she did not fix herself.

No, I can not.

I can not be your friend.

I can not. I can not be near you.

No.

Do not leave me again.

I do not want to lose you.

Will you come tonight?

Yes.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm glad to see you.

I'm going to have a drink with you.

Now you're going?

Bobby was here the other night.

Left it for you.

I do not care.

I just want to stay here with you.

Now.

I am here.

Can you dance with me?

I have not danced with a girl since I was 17 years old.

Louis Mayfield.

Louie as she was called.

I would never know she was
woman just look at her.

There was something about her
Hold me close to her, you know.

She was kind.

I knew that very moment ...

- That's when you heard ...
"That I was different.

Did you love her?

Yes I loved it.

I loved it first.

Of course she was the only person
who knew that I could love.

- And trust.
"Where is she now?"

I do not know.

I have no idea where she is.

But you're here.

And she looks beautiful.

Stop talking.

I love you.

Please, do not stop.

I love you, too.

Love?

I love you, too.

It looks familiar, does not it?

What?

That.

As if we were acquainted with another life and

here we are taking back what we left.

Our bones are made of spirals.

What?

Something I read once.

Gin?

Where will we go from here?

I have no idea.

Just stay here with me
