Wanda meets Frank by spilling her Coke on him. After some apologies, they dance together. On the way home she asks him why he looked so sad, but he clearly didn't want to talk about it. She avoids the subject and they had great dates together for the next three weeks. Then Wanda learns from a friend of hers about a row Frank had with his previous girlfriend Susan and knows she has to talk to him about it. Wanda realizes that Frank had never really forgiven himself for hurting Susan and she needs to let him go back to her.
