- Hi, Dan.

I just wanted
to say that...

I'm OK, and I'm back now.

- When did you get back?

- Today.
Now. Just now.

- And you thought
that you could just show up

whenever you wanted,
and we'd just be

waiting here
with a cake and banner or...

- Dan...

- Well, you didn't think
to tell us anything,

give us an idea
when you'd be back?

- I'm here.
I'm back.

- OK, but it's not...
that's not how it works.

- Dan, when can I see Isabel?
- What are you talking about?

What? So you're OK now?

- Yeah, I am.

- Yeah? What's your plan?
Where are you staying?

- I'm staying
at my dad's for a little while--

- Good for you.

Hmm...

- Dan, I want to see her.

- She doesn't remember you.

Can I call you now?
Am I allowed?

- Of course.

- I need to think.

- (woman):Isabel,

one night

n I went in to check on you,

nand you were lying there awake.

You didn't make a sound.

And I stood there,

and I looked at you,

and you looked at me,

and I had no idea

what you were thinking

and what you felt.

And in that moment,

n I had never been so scared

in my entire life.

I thought I knew what fear wasnbefore I had you, but I didn't.

I had no clue.

And no matter what,
everything felt wrong

because I did it.

And no matter what I did,n you were always so far away.

I thought,n "If I just loved you more,

I could get closer."

I loved you so much

n that I forgot to breathe.

n And then, I ran out of air.

- So, uh...

do you remember the... realtor

friend of mine
that we were talking about?

Well, I just ran into her
the other day,

and she was telling me
that she has

a lot
of these cute little apartments.

And so I mentioned
your situation.

- You what?

- What?

- I just got back.

- No, no. I...
I didn't mean...

- What did you mean?

- I was just trying to help.

I'm on your side.

- I can take care of myself.

-I could have helped.

That's what couples do,
that's what they do:

they figure things out together.
That's the whole point.

Why didn't you talk to me?
- I tried.

A hundred thousand times, OK?
You told me that...

that I wasn't making sense
and that I was just out of it.

- Why couldn't we
come see you?

- She couldn't see me like that.

- Did you know that she asked
for you every day?

Did you know that?

For months and months,
she looked at me

like I was the wrong person.

- I'm sorry, Dan.

That's the only way
that I could do it.

OK? Myself.

- You look better.

- Thanks.

Look, do you think
that I could spend

a few minutes with her?

- What, you mean alone?

- Why do you
say it like that?

- No, I can't.

And I'm sorry.

(door opening)

(door closing)
- What did you tell her?

- How could I
tell her?

How do you explain this
to a 2-year-old?

- It's Dara.

- She's gonna be 4 soon, right?
- (Isabel): My birthday!

- (Dan): Yeah.
- 4? Wow!

- Do you want to come
to my party?

Thérèse is baking a cake.

- Oh, I would love
to come to your party.

- Dad, can we go to the store?

- I'm sorry, honey.
We don't have time right now.

- But, Dad!
- Izz, really, we can't.

- Dad!
- Hey, what did I just say?

- Hey. Hey, Isabel,
can you do something for me?

- What?

- Can you close your eyes
for one second?

Great. Thank you.

If we were in the store
right now, what would you get?

- Chocolate milk.
- Amazing!

I love chocolate milk, too.
Haha!

So, imagine

you're with your dad,
and you're at the store.

Are you in the store?

Hey, I want you to walk
to the fridge,

and I want you to take out
the chocolate milk.

Are you holding it?

Let me see.

OK, now I want you
to open it

and take a big sip.

Now, keep your eyes closed.
You're in the store, remember?

Now, open it

and take a big sip.

How does it taste?

- So good.

(chuckling)
(door closing)

(second door closing)

- I'm so glad you made it.
- Oh, I was just going.

- Are you coming back?

- Of course, sweetheart.

- Well, let me

walk you out then.

I understand
where this puts you.

- You do?
- Yeah, of course.

And I want you
to feel welcome here.

OK? I want to help.

It's so important that
Isabel knows who her mother is.

But I'm here too.

- Completely.

Come over. I'll cook.

And I fight with my dad
all the time.

It's why I decided
to come to school here:

to get away.

- How come?

- 'Cause he doesn't listen.

- Well, how do you
talk to him?

Maybe try talking to him

in a way that you think
that he can hear.

- Why do I have to be
the one to change?

- You don't have
to change anything,

but you want him
to hear you, right?

- Yeah.

So, where's your mom?

- What?

- You said you hadn't
seen her in a long time.

- Uh... She's...

...gone. She left
when I was 4.

- What do you mean,
"She's gone"?

- I don't know.
She just...

left and...

That's it.

- Your daughter's lucky.

- Mm-hmm.

Why is that?

- She has you.

- Lucky? Yeah...

- Show her something.

- Like what?

- She's a kid,
show her anything you want.

- Why are you being
so sweet to me?

- It's just spaghetti.

- Spaghetti is fine by the way--
- Would it be OK if I...

...kissed you?

Oh, I'm sorry.
That was too much.

I thought you looked at me
in a type of way...

- You don't know me at all.

- What is it?
What's wrong?

- Did you know
that Dan is with someone?

Wait. Did you?

- Shh, shh! I-I...

I saw her,
but I-I-I was never sure.

I didn't know. I didn't know
if they were together.

- She's pregnant.

- I'm sorry.

I... I didn't
know that, sweetheart.

I would have told you
if I knew that.

- Dad...

...things aren't...

- Honey, it's all just gonna
take a little bit of time.

OK? That thing,
it-it-it's gonna work out.

You know, I'm telling you.

- I don't know.

- Well, then we'll...
then we should talk about this.

- Dad, we are.

I'm talking about this.
I'm talking about it right now!

- Shhh... No, we're standing
in the hallway

at 1 in the morning.

Tomorrow, OK?

- Why do you
always say that?

- Just go to bed, sweetheart.

- I think about Mom.

I... don't even know
if she's alive, Dad.

But I think about...

who she is now, and...

- Good night.

- It was.

Dad...

...I don't know what to do.

- Just... try
to be a mother.

- What?

How can you say that?
Like... Like, oh, like,

"try to be a mother." Like,

- (Dan): OK, hey,

don't speak to her like that.
- OK, Dan,

you let our daughter
call this woman Mommy?

What is she even doing here?
- He's not your husband.

He was, but he's not anymore.
- Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?!
- I'm the woman raising
your daughter!

- I am her mother!
- Are you?

- What, that is my mug.

What are you doing

You're acting crazy.

I'm not crazy,

because you made me feel
like I was crazy.

- How did I make you feel crazy?
- (Thérèse): Let her talk.

- Look, you didn't
understand me then,

and you still don't
understand me now.

OK, so... so tell me,

what do you do? "You get better,

"and the only way
that you know how.

And you do that every day
a little bit."

That's what they said,
"That you can't see it,

but it's there and it adds up."

That's what they told me,
that it adds up.

And so you take
what they tell you to take,

even if it makes you
not you anymore,

and then you feel
like you're somebody else.

But you do that, and you do it
and you keep doing it

until they tell you
that you're OK.

Look, I went away to get better,

so that I could come back

and be in this family
the right way...

...if I'm still welcome.

You didn't wait.

Hey, Dan, I told you
that I was gonna come back.

I promised you that, OK?

I'm not her.
I am not my mom!

But...

I'm sorry. Look, I'm sorry, OK?

Look, just...

just tell me
who you want me to be,

and then I'll just be her, OK?

Just... just let me stay

and I'll be so good, I promise.

OK? I'll make myself so small
you won't even notice me.

I'll live in the walls or...

or you can put me in the closet,

and I won't make a peep.

I... I can be Aunt Dara or...

No. No, never mind,

I take that back. Don't call me
that, that'd really hurt.

Here, look, I can...
Here, look, I...

how I can just fit
on one tile, OK?

So small. Look, I can just...

I can just...
I can just... live here.

I'll just stay right here. OK?

- (Isabel): Dad...

Come here. Hey, you're OK.

Hey, it's OK.
Come here. It's OK.

- (Dara): Can you...
can you turn on the lights?

- It's OK, honey.

- Can someone please turn on
the lights, please?!

I need to talk to her.
I wanna talk to her alone.
- (Dan): No.

- Look, I-I-I-I did it
wrong before, OK?

Isabel, I should have

told you before that I'm...

Come on, just please...

Just... just come here for...

Just look at me.

Just please come here
for one second.

Please, baby,
just... just for one second.

Just look at me.
(breathing hard)

Just please.

- (Isabel): Go!

- OK.

OK, I'm gonna go.

I'm so sorry.

OK, OK, OK.
I'm going. I'm going.

I'm going. I got it.
