He loves her and he loves her son and wants to marry her. Bettina says that she will never marry again but she does want to be with him. They decide to sublet and apartment from a director/playwrite for six months to see how things go. They move in together and Ollie continues his work as a theater critic while Bettina is busy working on another play. Bettina gets so busy on the play that she doesn't take very good care of herself and starts feeling sick. She goes to the doctor and finds out she is pregant; she is devastated. She is afraid to have another baby because of the horrible experience she went through the first time. Ollie is happy and reassures her that everything will be okay. She trusts him and begins to show her joy.  She gets an offer from Hollywood to make her first play into a movie and they want her to do the script. She knows that doing the movie would mean moving to California, at least for six months. She doesn't want to leave Ollie for that long so she isn't sure if she wants to do the movie. Ollie wants to be with Bettina so he quits his job and gets his old one back in California. They move to California so they can do the movie. Bettina and Ollie decide they like California and want to stay so they buy them a house and stay. Soon after the move to the new house, Bettina and Ollie have a daughter.

After 3 months, they fly back to California and Ollie goes back to work. Ollie is at work, he is not feeling well. Ollie has had a heart attack and died. Once again, Bettina is devastated. She decides wants to be alone with her children so she is taking 6 months off. She has offers from Hollywood but wants to be left alone. After 6 months, her agent talks her into meeting with a director about turning her last play into a movie. She decides it's time to go back to work and says she'll meet with him. She meets the director, Bill. After talking for a while, they discover they have somewhat of a past. The apartment Ollie and Bettina had sublet belonged to Bill. They seemed to hit it off and were glad they got together.
