When Vivian fails her school examinations, she's too ashamed to tell Mark, her parents, or anyone else—especially with her engagement party planned for after the exams. Desperate and panicked, she withdraws her savings and decides to flee town by bus, hoping Mark will abandon everything to elope with her on the spot. But when he won't run away without understanding what's really happening, Vivian boards the bus alone, convinced he's abandoned her when he's actually trying to help her see sense.
