You and Me

Sarah, a college-aged woman is talking on the phone, her arm in a sling. Her mother stops by with some sandwiches. As they talk, Sarah reveals she's made a tough decision to leave dental hygienist school. Her injury will put her too far behind. Her mother tries to stay upbeat, but Sarah can't see a way out. Her mother stands with her, promising whatever assistance she can, financially and personally. Though she's divorced, Mom and Sarah "are family". They end on a hopeful note, with Mom encouraging her to talk to her professor and not throw out her books. Mom also surprises Sarah with a bottle of her favorite shampoo from childhood-with a promise to help her wash her hair just like she used to back then.
