Because Angela works in town she has little opportunity to attract the attention of the boy who lives opposite her. Her attempts to attract his attention fail miserably. But at work she keeps exaggerating the relationship to the point where she claims they are getting married in a month. Realizing her error, she decides to leave her job to avoid the embarrassment of admitting the truth. But Phil senses something is wrong and Angela confesses her lie to him. Phil tells her she won't get rid of him that easily and promises to visit her on weekends.
