Ted looks over as she turns her head, and returns the smile. He lifts Joan's hand so he can kiss it, then mouths 'love you'. It's calm and peaceful and lovely, and he's so grateful.

And then a soccer ball bounces right through their picnic.

It doesn't manage to break anything (or anyone), but as Ted sits up in surprise, he sees the ball nestled in their picnic basket, and the small group of kids nearby looking like they're afraid they're gonna get in trouble (with one or two of them nervously giggling).

A kid yells an apology, and Ted gets to his feet, grabbing the ball. "Hey, that's alright, no harm done," Ted calls back cheerfully, picking up a crutch so he can walk a bit over to them (and away from the picnic). "Hey, you kids know how to do headers?"
