EXT. HOUSE - SUNRISE
Tom cowboy boots to hat, suitcase. Wanda robe and slippers, hair up, thermos.
From front door to truck in driveway.
WANDA: Thought about where you might have lunch?
TOM: Ain't countin' on it bein' there but if it is that taco truck in Cimarron.
WANDA: Tortilla Azul.
TOM: That's it. Knew it was tortilla somethin'.
WANDA: The only better tamales I've had are Maria's.
TOM: She and the boys got there yesterday.
WANDA: I remembered as soon as I said her name.
He opens truck door, slides suitcase to passenger side of bench seat, puts hat on top of it, puts key in ignition, turns to Wanda, she hands him thermos, he puts it in console, he turns to her, they hug.
TOM: What are you and Daisy doing today?
WANDA: Coffee and croissants at the cafe, walk on the river trail, the library for a showing of Cheyenne Autumn -
TOM: Really?
WANDA: Yep. It's their summer film series that I didn't even know about until Trudy told me last week. After that to Centennial for a glass wine at Bear Bottom and sunset at Mirror.
TOM: Jealous. Any more shows at the library after this?
WANDA: Cat Ballou next week, then a movie I don't know called Heartland, with Rip Torn, wraps up it up the following week.
TOM: I don't know that one either. If you don't have any plans that day, maybe we could see it.
WANDA: I'll check my schedule.
They embrace, kiss. He checks watch.
TOM: Five-fifty. I'll call at seven and every hour on the hour.
WANDA: Thank you.
TOM: Except when you're at the library.
WANDA: Text me at two and three.
TOM: Will do.
WANDA: And maybe a selfie from somewhere along the way.
TOM: I have an idea already.
They kiss. Tom into driver's seat, starta engine, rolls down window. Wanda steps up onto the running board, pokes her head in.
TOM (CONT.): Ready?
Wanda nods. Tom drives to the street, stops.
TOM (CONT.): I don't guess ya know how many days til we land in Honolulu.
WANDA (BEAT): A hundred and two. And elevenish hours, if the plane's on time.
TOM: Elevenish, huh?
She checks his watch.
WANDA: And twenty-two minutes.
TOM: I love you, Wanda.
WANDA: I love you, Tom.
They kiss.
TOM/WANDA: Miss you already.
Another kiss, Wanda steps down off running board, folds arms cross chest.
WANDA: Git before I start crying.
TOM: Before I beat ya to it.
WANDA: Which house first?
TOM: The brick near the river?
Wanda nods, gives thumbs-up that Tom returns.
WANDA: Go. Okay?
Tom nods, flashes peace that Wanda returns. He makes turn onto street, Wanda watches him drive away.
INT. TRUCK
Tom nears stop sign, his eyes on WANDA IN REARVIEW. He puts hand out window, waves. She waves back.
WITH WANDA
She watches the truck stop at light, left turn signal before Tom makes turn, looks at her, blows a kiss she returns before Tom leaves view. A BREEZE RINGS THE CHIMES. She walks to porch, waters plants, closes her eyes and smiles at the WESTERN MEADOWLARK SONG. About to enter house, she stops to look back at the HUMMINGBIRD hovering a few feet away before leaving in a blur. She enters house, closes door. WESTERN MEADOWLARK SONG.
