In this short scene, the reader is introduced to a young woman who has just come out of a long-term relationship with a man. The young woman, who we now call "Sweetheart," is overjoyed to see her "baby" back. She's so happy to see him that she can't wait to hug him. Sweetheart tells her that she's missed him so much that she hasn't even been able to kiss him yet. She gives him an ice-cream cake and tells him that he shouldn't eat too much since they haven't celebrated Valentine's Day together. She also tells him to let her friend have some ice cream, since he was "stubborn" as a kid. She tells him not to worry, though, because her mom doesn't think it's wrong for them to live together as two. She says that they can have sex as long as they don't break the law. She adds that if they keep this up, the door will be "breaking my heart here" .
