The Things We Do For Love

Angie drives to Help-Your-Neighbor House, an organization serving people in need. A woman there recognizes Angie and comments that working with the group has helped her through her own divorce. Then, Lauren walks in and requests a coat for her mother. She leaves her name and number. Recognizing her from the night before, Angie follows the girl, discovering where she lives and vowing to help. 

On Monday, Angie purchases coats for Lauren and her mother and drives to the apartment building, where she gives the clothing to Mrs. Mauk. When Angie leaves, she sees children outside without jackets and decides to run a coat drive at the restaurant.

At school, when David asks what color tuxedo he should get for homecoming, Lauren remembers that she has neither a dress nor the money to get one. All day, this thought haunts her. When she gets off the bus and is soaked by rain, she pauses to think of her dream home. Shaking off this wishful thinking, Lauren goes inside, only to find that the apartment is empty and that her mother has stolen her money.
