EXT. JAN AND JOHN'S PATIO - DAY

Grill, wall-mounted big-screen TV, lawn and lap pool, sun above homes in the rolling hills on the other side of the foliage fence. And John and Jan in two of the four chairs at the table, a bottle of white wine and their half-full glasses at hand. They stare at Chloe's White Sands sunset selfie that fills the screen of Jan's laptop. Foglost near John, closed and marked near the end.

JOHN/JAN: Have you ever been?

JOHN/JAN: No.

JAN: She looks so happy.

JOHN: They all do.

JAN: They all do.

JOHN: I'm going to call Hunter.

JAN: I'd like to say hello.

EXT. SUBURBAN CUL DE SAC - DAY

Leafy neighborhood overlooked by the small mountain Cerro San Luis Obispo and the sun above it. California plates on the Tesla Barbara drives into frame and parks in the driveway of the two-story home at the end of the street.


INT. TESLA

Phone in console and celery sticking out the the top of the grocery bag in the front seat with purse. As soon as she turns off the engine HER PHONE CHIRPS. She picks it up and stares at the selfie Chloe has taken that includes Hunter, Tom and Jackie in the dunes of White Sands National Park, the sun setting on the San Andres Mountains behind them. Chloe wears Tom's oversized hat. Barbara pockets her phone, puts keys in purse, opens door,


EXT. TESLA

She gets purse and grocery bag, closes door, walks to the house. A GERMAN SHEPHERED BARKS and greets her happily when she opens the door. She enters house, closes door behind her.
