Paul, a young man, spots his ex, Harriet. He notes how Harriet has changed. She no longer wears high heels and now dresses more modestly. He recalls how Harriet was before, wearing skimpy clothing and going to bars. Paul asks Harriet where she is going, and Harriet remains cool when she sees her ex despite it having been a long time. She states that she is going to Wanamaker’s to buy some things. Paul follows her, commenting on the modest way she dresses. Harriet explains that her days in the nightlife are over. Paul mentions her ability to be alert despite little rest and how hot she kept the apartment. Harriet tells her that that was in her youth. The two then pass Eddie’s bar, where they would have drinks. Paul asks if she wants to get a drink, and she declines. Paul finally tells her that he knew he’d meet her someplace. Paul explains that he tried to move on and date other girls, but none of the girls gave him the same satisfaction. Harriet says nothing, and Paul asks what she will buy at Wanamaker’s. She reveals that she is buying diapers as she is pregnant. Harriet then tells Paul that she has a husband. Paul tells her that she was the best girlfriend he ever had. Paul asks what she thinks of him, and Harriet says nothing. Paul accuses her of lying and reveals that he has been looking for her for two years. He tells her that he was wrong and never married. Even after they broke up, Paul claims that the passion of that relationship never died. When he asks Harriet what she thinks, she breaks down into tears. She runs into a cab, and Paul watches the cab drive away with Harriet in the back, crying. Paul turns around, realizing he must move away from the neighborhood as he’s lived there long enough.
