One Golden Summer

Alice and Charlie offer to drive Nan to Ottawa to meet up with John. The old friends have been talking on the phone the past week and want to reconnect. In the city, Alice and Charlie spend the day with Bennett to give Nan and John space. Three hours later, Alice is thrilled to see how much fun Nan and John have had.

On the drive back, the companions listen to the radio and sing. Alice wonders if she and Charlie might fool around in the car later. Bennett teases them about being a couple, but Charlie says they wouldn’t be good together. Alice turns away, upset. When Charlie tries to get her attention, he looks away from the road and crashes the car.

Alice spends the night in the hospital. She hit her head on the window and needed a few stitches, but is otherwise okay. No one else was injured. Charlie comes to collect her, repeatedly apologizing for putting her in danger. Alice insists everything is fine, refusing to admit that she’s still upset over what he said about their relationship. Back at the cottage, Charlie insists on staying by her bedside. She invites him to share the bed.
