Dorothy invites him to visit if he is in the area. Driving up from San Francisco in the summer of 1946, Joey is on his way to visit his sister in Seattle and decides to make a stop over to visit Dorothy. Both Dorothy and Joey talk about their experiences during the war and their current life as they try to find a way to move forward in their prime years. Short narrative drama.
