INT. DINING ROOM/KITCHEN - DAY
Quaint and cozy. The calendar on the fridge turned to July with accompanying photo of fireworks lighting sky above baseball field and families on blankets. Windows to backyard. Wanda at the table reading James Michener's novel Hawaii and chasing cornbread with milk. Antique hutch appointed accordingly. Phone at hand near a few ripe bananas in a wooden bowl. She is startled when her PHONE RINGTONES the piano beginning of the Marcia Ball song, That's Enough of that Stuff. She smiles shakes her head, marks page and closes book, picks up to RUTH FACETIMING.
WANDA: I was about to finish my chapter and Facetime you.
RUTH: Michener?
WANDA: Yep.
RUTH: What chapter?
WANDA: Two, the unswept lagoon.
RUTH: Bye bye Bora Bora.
WANDA: Yep. So aren't you just loving the pictures he's sent.
INT. BEDROOM - DAY
Describe. Ruth at desk, Facetime with Wanda, looking at framed photo of Tom, Chloe, Hunter and Jackie with a larger-than-them bear cut from wood.
RUTH: I called because I had to talk about it.
WANDA: That's why I was going to call you. Is the bear picture just the cutest?
RUTH: I framed it and just now put it on the desk in y'all's room.
She aims the phone at the picture.
WANDA: I love it.
RUTH: And more on the way.
She returns phone to face.
WANDA: Can't wait.
RUTH: So how's miss Daisy?
WANDA: We had a good day. She's here taking a nap and I'm about to.

RUTH: Well pass along my hug to Daisy.
WANDA: I will.
RUTH: Love ya, dubya.
WANDA: Love you too..
RUTH: Drive safe.
WANDA: Yes ma'am.
End call, she finds the bear picture on phone, smiles, pockets phone, leaves into hall, FLOOR CREAK.
