EXT. SECLUDED OVERLOOK — HART SEDAN — NIGHT

The car sits under a canopy of pines, engine off, city glow far below. Geneva is in the back seat, shoes off, a wine glass she never should have brought balanced on her knee. Keith is behind the wheel, hands still at ten and two, as if the drive isn't over.

He waits a beat. Then he opens the door, steps out into the cool, and climbs into the back seat beside her. He leaves space between them on purpose.

Geneva laughs — soft, tired, nothing joyful in it. She sets the glass in the cupholder.

KEITH

GENEVA

He removes his hand.

She turns her hand over under his, lacing their fingers, and rests her head back against the seat.

He lets go, gently, and looks straight ahead through the windshield.

GENEVA

He doesn't have an answer for that. He starts the engine.

INT. H2H ENTERPRISES — ROGER'S OFFICE — DAY

Roger stands at the window with his back to the room. Elle sits across from his desk, a sample portfolio in her lap.

The word lands between them. He hears it a half second after he says it, and so does she.

Elle closes the portfolio.

She stands, tucking the portfolio under her arm.

ELLE

She goes. Roger stays at the window a long time after the door closes, and for the first time since she came home, he looks less like a man protecting a company and more like a man who is afraid.
