EXT. DOUBLE-WIDE MOBILE HOME - SUNRISE

Two-tone 1985 GMC Sierra Classic K1500 pickup truck in driveway, in front of a newish Subaru Outback in the carport. Wyoming plates on both and the car in the port of the double-wide across the way, lined on both sides by similar, well-maintained homes in a mobile home park. A United States flag flies from the porches of two homes along the lane. 

WESTERN MEADOWLARK SONG before Tom and Wanda come out front door to porch, walk to steps to driveway. 

Tom's - cowboy boots, jeans, leather belt with silver buckle featuring two linked turquoise horseshoes, western-style shirt with pearl snap-buttons, cowboy hat - has suitcase in one hand, Wanda's hand in the other.

Wanda's in robe over gown, slippers, hair in a bun, thermos in hand.

WANDA: Thought about where you might have lunch?

TOM: That Mexican place in Cimarron we stopped at last year.

WANDA: Tortilla Azul.

They reach steps, walk to truck's driver's door

TOM: That's it. Knew it was tortilla somethin'.

WANDA: That was delicious. 

Tom sets suitcase on truck's running board, fishes keys from pants pocket, opens door, puts key in ignition, suitcase in well below passenger side of bench seat, lowers center seats into console, takes thermos from Wanda, sets it in holder, puts hat on passenger side, turns to Wanda, they embrace. 

TOM: I'll every half-hour.

WANDA: Thank you.

They part to watch ED, THEIR AGE, approach from down the lane in an electric wheelchair, SMALL DOG in attached basket. He's in slippers and flannel robe, blanket over legs and lap. Ed waves as he nears.

TOM: Mornin', Ed.

ED: Mornin', Tom, Wanda.

WANDA: Morning, Ed. Good morning, Spiffy.

The dog barks, wags tail.

ED: Off to Texas?

TOM: Yessir. 

ED: Safe travels, soldier.

TOM: You too, partner.

Ed salutes, motors along.

TOM: What're you and Daisy doin'?

WANDA: Walk along the river, brunch at Creekside, out to Randy and Opal's for scrabble and sunset at Mirror Lake.

They kiss.  Tom gets in, Wanda pushes door closed, Tom starts engine, lowers window, Ruth steps onto running board.

WANDA/TOM: Love you.

Another kiss.

TOM: Ready?

Wanda nods. Tom backs out into lane, turns truck in direction Ed had come from. Wanda reaches, runs hand through Tom's hair, Tom kisses her hand. Wanda steps down from running board.

WANDA: You'd better get before I don't let you.

They stare at each other.

TOM: Bye, love of my life.

WANDA: You drive safe, cowboy.

Tom nods, blows a kiss, drives away. Wanda watches him. 

INT. TRUCK

Tom's eyes on WANDA IN REARVIEW MIRROR as he nears and stops where the lane bisects another.

EXT. LANE

Wanda watches the truck turn left, Tom wave out the window. She waves back, the truck leaves view. She stares in that direction, finally walks to porch, into house.
