- At nights, he spies on the Norwegian's brightly-lit, busy store.
- Realizing they can't stay afloat with their business and Helen's income, Frank gets a night job at a nearby coffee shop.
- When he sleeps, he has nightmares of the park, of him stinking like garbage.
- He carves a flower out of wood and leaves it for Helen.
- She takes it. It reminds her of her unhappiness.
- Frank finds the wooden flower in the trash can the next morning.
