EXT. HUNTER'S DRIVEWAY - NIGHT

Garage door open, Rover in its spot. Tom and Chloe, wearing Tom's hat, near Hunter at Jackie inn her driver's seat, engine running, lights on.

HUNTER: Call when you're home?

JACKIE: From my driveway.

HUNTER: Thanks.

Quick kiss. 

JACKIE: Chloe and Tom, until next time.

CHLOE/TOM: Already lookin' forward to it.

CHLOE: Thanks for an unforgettable day.

JACKIE: Thank you both. Goodnight.

TOM/CHLOE: Goodnight.

Jackie drives away.

HUNTER: Agreed on unforgettable. Tom, I'm really happy you came along.

TOM: I'm blessed to be able to. 

HUNTER: Up for a movie?

TOM: I sure would like that but to be honest I'm feelin' a little tuckered. Thinkin' I'll call Wanda and Ruth who're waitin' to hear all about the day, then take a shower and get on to bed. Sorry to be a party-pooper.   

HUNTER: Not at all, Tom.  

Hunter leads to garage  

CHLOE: Maybe it's the elevation effect.

TOM: Well, Laramie's at seven-thousand so I ain't sure it's that. Just part a gettin' older and already bein' old. 

HUNTER: Tom, are you too tuckered to take a look at a photograph and tell me a little about what you remember about the day it was taken. Or it can wait until tomorrow morning.

TOM: Well, a little less tuckered now that ya got my curiosity on the hook.

HUNTER: Great.

Hunter closes the garage door.

EXT. WHITE SANDS NATIONAL PARK - IN THE DUNES - SUNSET

Hunter, Jackie, Chloe and Tom, each barefoot, gaze at the sun setting on the San Andres Mountains, shoes/boots arranged behind them where their foot tracks mark their descent from the top of a dune. 

TOM: Am I correct in thinkin' that we're standin' where a sea used to be awhile back.

CHLOE: You are correct, sir. The Permian Sea. Two-hundred and eighty-million years ago.

TOM: That prob'ly puts it before dinosaurs.

CHLOE: By about thirty millions years.

TOM: Give or take.

CHLOE: Give or take.

Pause as the sun meets the tallest peak.  

TOM You ever been to a black sand beach?

CHLOE: Yes. Playa Negra in Costa Rica.

TOM: Were ya surfin'?

CHLOE: Yes.

HUNTER: How 'bout you?

JACKIE: Yes.

HUNTER: Where?

JACKIE: Iceland.

HUNTER: Vacation.

JACKIE: Honeymoon.

HUNTER: Oh.

Tom and Chloe exchange slight smiles. 

CHLOE: One more selfie?

They gather together, backs to the sunset. Chloe uses selfie stick to take the picture. They gather their boots, retrace their steps up the dune, over the top out of view.
