When George visits Steve at the restaurant, he notices a young woman. George becomes infatuated with this lady, despite never having talked to or met her. One day, Steve tells George that a woman called the restaurant, asking for George. Steve doesn't know who the female caller is, and Steve, with George present, calls the woman back. The caller explains that she is the woman at the restaurant and wants to see George. George is shocked that his love interest even noticed him. The woman then tells George to come to her house. Later the day, George visits the woman. The woman invites him into her apartment and tells George to sit beside her. George realizes that the woman wants him to kiss her, and the two begin to make out. As time passes, the woman tells George he must leave before her roommate comes. This arouses George's suspicion, and he notices a ring mark on her finger. George confronts her with this evidence, and the woman reveals that she is married. Her husband, not her roommate, will be coming soon. She also took off her wedding ring. She explains that her husband has been sick for years.
