After dinner, the family stops at the beloved candy store. Willa is annoyed with Jamie for buying fudge quickly instead of carefully browsing the penny candy with her, complaining that he's leaving her to do her 'baby things' alone. Jamie indulges her, asks Nick for a dollar, and joins her inside, restoring her happiness.

While Jamie and Willa shop, Rocky reflects on how the candy store once thrilled her children, and on the bittersweet openness of small kids who haven't learned to hide what they love. Sitting outside with Nick and Maya, Rocky offers Maya a dollar, which she declines, and the two slip into a more intimate conversation.

Maya asks whether Jamie and Willa were always 'easy.' Rocky answers honestly: largely yes, though she often felt overwhelmed by the emotional intensity of parenting, more so than Nick. Maya, a middle child of five, contrasts her own chaotic childhood with what she perceives as the 'intentional' way Rocky and Nick raised their kids. Rocky deflects with self-deprecation.

Maya asks if Rocky ever wanted more children; Rocky lies and says two was perfect, then turns the question back, asking if Maya pictures having kids. Maya says yes, definitely, just as an embarrassed Jamie interrupts. Willa calls for more money for a candy necklace, and Rocky muses that 'more' was Jamie's first word and now describes how she feels about her time with her grown children.
