Same Time Next Summer

Jack continues reading while Sam’s mind wanders. She tells herself she’ll stay up late and catch up to where he is in the book, as he’s staying above the garage and she has her own room. Meanwhile, she watches the kids on the beach. Then Gracie emerges and begs Sam to come swimming with her. On the way down to the beach, Gracie asks Sam if she’ll talk to Wyatt. Sam isn’t sure. On the beach, they get into the water and Sam feels suddenly free. She remembers when she took Gracie swimming as a toddler at the YMCA. Being with Gracie was the only thing that helped her get over Wyatt.

When the sisters get out, Sam watches Gracie run toward Wyatt on the sand. Wyatt greets Sam with an old nickname he used to use. Sam tries to act normal but is surprised to see how Wyatt has grown up. She reminds herself he’s 31 now. They talk briefly about Sam’s wedding before Sam excuses herself. Back on the porch, Laurel gives Sam a worried look. She knows how upset Sam was after the breakup. Then, Jack scolds her for getting sunburned. He’s a skin doctor and obsessive about sun exposure.
