When Polly was seventeen, her father died suddenly and then her mother became very sick. Vince admires the way Polly nurses her mother and tells her he loves her. But she still just thinks of him as the boy next door. With her mother unable to work, Vince suggested they turn their spare room into a bed-sitter. Polly overhears a man at work talk about needing a place to stay and tells him about the room. He agrees to stay with them and Polly develops a crush on the much older man. Eventually Polly learns that Sam loves her mother, not her, and Polly becomes petulant.
