Eddie meets Una during a spring rain when they both take cover under a custard stand awning. Their relationship blooms through the summer with long walks around the neighborhood, and, once Eddie is able to drive, real dates. Una is an attractive girl, ative in a variety of extracurricular activities and able to carry on lengthy conversations about actual issues. Eddie is clearly in love with Una, but their relationship is soured by arguments and frequent breakups. By the time Eddie graduates, he and Una are "off," and he never sees her again.
