== Synopsis ==

Michael sees a beautiful woman in the apartment across the courtyard

but never talks to her. He follows her one day, watches her stand on

a bridge over water. A fellow in a motorized wheelchair approaches

and talks to her; she lights his cigarette. She then goes to a

restaurant, sits at an outside table. An expensively dressed man in

his 60s in a Lincoln Town Car meets her there; she leaves with him.

Michael sits at the same table, finds a picture of a 9 or 10-year-old

girl she left behind, takes it. He sends her flowers anonymously. A

young man arrives at her apartment; they make love. Michael takes a cab to the

airport, intending to run away, but the cabbie convinces him to

return. She disappears. Her mother has her stuff packed up and moved

out. A male body-builder moves into her apartment

bridge from her POV, a scene the man watched. She was contemplating

suicide but the meeting with the quadriplegic heartened her.
