WHIR OF CICADSS.
RUTH (CONT.) : Storm on the way from the gulf.
WANDA: Saw that on the weather channel. Galveston battening the hatches. Early evening?
RUTH: Or late afternoon now. I thought we'd play it by radar as far as leaving Gil's tomorrow.
WANDA: Speaking of which and up fron the gulf, I just remembered Maria and the boys are coming up.
RUTH: Got there night before last. He said the boys cried like babies when he told them about Tom.
WANDA: Do you know if he's told them about Hunter?
RUTH: He told them they'd be having a visitor who knew Tom. Gil asked me if I'd ask Hunter to introduce himself. Hunter told me he would introduce himself as Tom's son.
They stand at SOUND OF TRUCK ENGINE, wait, watch Hunter drive into view, look at them as he slows to pull into the driveway.
