TOM: When's the last time you were on a horse?
CHLOE: Does a mule count?
TOM: I'd say so.
CHLOE: Then three years ago at the Grand Canyon.
TOM: Alright.
CHLOE: And before that the pony ride at the state fair when I was six.
TOM: What county fair was that?
CHLOE: Mid-state, in Paso Robles. When's the last time you were on a horse?
TOM: End of April. We got friends with horses outside Sheridan.
CHLOE: Wanda rides?
TOM: Since she was a little girl in Idaho City.
CHLOE: Safe to say that's in Idaho?
TOM: Very safe. Bout an hour northeast of Boise. How 'bout you, Hunter.
HUNTER: Last time on a horse?
TOM: Yessir.
HUNTER: Same Grand Canyon mule ride.
TOM: Before that?
HUNTER: Costa Rica.
JACKIE: What were you doing in Costa Rica?
HUNTER: Honeymoon.
JACKIE: Oh.
Tom and Chloe exchange wry smiles. First sight of white sand dunes.
TOM: Safe to say we're comin' up on white sands?
CHLOE: Very safe.
TOM: I thought we might stop in for sunset, if everyone's up for it.
JACKIE: Up.
CHLOE: Up.
TOM: Up. Prob'ly a good photo opportunity.
CHLOE: Speaking of which, would you be up for a selfie?
TOM: Up. Would you be up for forwarding it to me so I can pass it along to Wanda and Ruthie?
CHLOE: Up.
Chloe scoots closer to Tom, angles the phone to frame the shot. Hunter and Jackie look at each other. Jackie winks, Hunter squeezes her hand. Chloe takes the selfie.
