Summary

April is at the mall and sees a boy she finds attractive. She goes over to talk to him and makes plans for a date. The boy is looking for a gift for his mother and April recommends a prism (which is the same gift that Steve gave her at the beginning of the story.) The epilogue concludes with her hanging the prism in her bedroom.
