September Page #7

---

Thanks, Howard.

Terrific. The door's open.

Lane, let them get it, honey.

Come here. Come here.

Now... No, never mind. You know where

we're gonna be, with the Chasens,...

..so if you need me for anything - your

hair looks just darling down like that -

..you call me. D'you hear me? OK.

And tell Peter that

I've got to rethink my memoirs.

If I come up with a fresh approach,

then I'll call him.

Goodbye. Be a good girl.

Oh, God. Have you got my make-up kit?

It's got my diaphragm in it.

Isn't it silly? I still travel with it.

It's like a lucky charm.

Maybe I should donate it

to the antique fair!

Will I see you again?

I think you should leave.

I'm going to stay with Lane

and then go back home.

It's funny. You meet somebody

under strange circumstances.

You fall in love and then

you go off in separate directions.

Peter, please don't make this hard for me.

- Please.

- I feel so empty.

You haven't even gone yet and I feel like

I've lost something I'll never find again.

I'm so disappointed in myself.

Steffie.

Time will pass

and you'll forget this summer.

And you? Will you forget it?

I'll try.

It won't be easy, but I'll try.

Now she's off to Palm Beach

as though nothing had happened.

Well, I really should be going, too.

My debts.

I have to manage the final sale.

All the details.

Lane, I want so badly

to tell you not to worry.

Howard.

And that I'll take care of you,

that nothing would make me happier.

I've gotten so used to

having you in my life.

- You're all that gives it meaning now.

- Howard, don't. Don't.

- I'm sure that...

- I can't.

..when you leave here...

..I'll never see you again.

But I really did grow to love you.

Lane.

I came to say goodbye.

I think it's better

if I head back to the city tonight.

You haven't finished your book.

It's finished.

What a sad tone in your voice.

I loved all the time we spent together.

And I appreciate your faith in me and...

..the encouragement.

I'm sorry I couldn't live up to it.

Well...

Take care of her, Howard.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Would you like some tea?

No.

- It's chilly.

- Yeah.

It was chilly when I got up this morning.

In a few days it'll be September.

I know.

There are so many things to do,

selling a house.

It'll keep you busy. That's good.

When do you have to go home?

In a couple of days I'll go back.

The kids need school supplies

and new shoes.

- Sweet kids.

- Yeah.

Oh, Steffie.

Soon you'll leave here and

you'll start all over again in New York.

There'll be a million things

to keep you busy.

It's gonna be OK.
