We thought we were leaving.

Charlotte shakes her head: NO. Samantha and Miranda turn

around and start back to their seats as -- MUSIC STARTS...

LIGHTS CHANGE. The girls settle in just as a MODEL starts

down the RUNWAY in gorgeous clothes. Carrie, Miranda,

Charlotte and Samantha watch --

DISSOLVE TO: the girls watching another model; another

outfit. They point and discuss what they see -- loving it.

DISSOLVE TO: the girls watching another model; another

outfit. With each outfit Carrie seems to lighten and

brighten.

DISSOLVE TO: the girls watching another model; another

outfit. Carrie smiles as she watches -- now, truly enjoying

herself.

like myself.

CARRIE (V.O.)

And a couple of weeks later -- I

met St. Louise's St. Louis

boyfriend, Will.

She arrives at the front of a restaurant. Through the window,

she can see Louise sitting next to Will. Louise spots Carrie

and waves. Carrie waves back and starts in.

Over Christmas they realized how

much they loved each other. Just in

time for Valentine's day.

Aunt Carrie... Love, Lily.

Hello?

SAMANTHA

I'm just calling to make sure you

aren't hanging from your shower

rod.

CARRIE

You called an hour too early.

SAMANTHA

So, what's the V-day plan?

CARRIE

Miranda and I are going to dinner

and then a really violent slasher

movie.

SAMANTHA

Perfect.

CARRIE

And you?

SAMANTHA

I am making Smith sushi. Pause for

reaction.

CARRIE

Wow. Do you make sushi?

SAMANTHA

We took a class a while back -- and

when he walks in the door at seven-

thirty, I am going to surprise him

by laying on the dining room table -

-- covered with homemade sushi.

CARRIE

Boy, you do have time on your

hands.
