Synopsis: A writer driving in the country on a working vacation catches a glimpse of a girl crying on a bus and can't get her out of his mind. He returns to the small town restaurant and finds her sitting alone. He discovers her boyfriend had gotten a new job in another city and, over time, their letters slowed until she received a letter telling her he didn't love her anymore. Having used up all her money, she gets a job as a waitress to save enough to go see her boyfriend. The writer stays on too, hoping she will eventually turn to him as more than a friend.
