Plot[]
Noah and Alison take a day trip to remote Block Island in order to spend time together as Noah continues with research for his novel. As they tour highlights of the island they share more of themselves in conversation and become ever more intimate with each other. Noah remembers himself as an innocent, struggling under Alison's advances, while Alison's memory is more serious and somber with the undertones of grieving and appreciation for Noah's attentive presence. After Noah receives an emergency call from home which takes his attention they have an argument and part ways, only to run into one another again in a shop. The two get a hotel room for the afternoon and take the last step towards being unfaithful, having sex but arguing further when Alison is evasive afterwards. They make up and return to the hotel but after having sex with Alison again, Noah notices scars on her legs and they argue more. On the ferry back, Alison apologizes and tells Noah she is not the carefree soul he thinks she is, but rather, has a "dark" side (which Noah says he is attracted to). Back on land, as Noah drives Alison home, she tells him about her four year old son who drowned two years ago, leaving her struggling with wanting to die. Their closeness deepens and they make love again that evening at Alison's house, her husband being away.
