INT. PARLOR ROOM - DAY
Wall of books on shelves, piano, framed reproduction of an Ella Mewhinney Bluebonnets painting above a sofa bookended by lamps. Another lamp at chair in corner by window to front yard and street in which TWO TEN-YEAR-OLD GIRLS play catch with gloves and softball. In the driveway of house behind them a 40-YEAR-OLD MAN washes his early-70s Oldsmobile 98 with Texas plates. Turntable and speakers on stand near record shelf. FLOOR CREAK a moment before Ruth enters with the framed photograph of the picture she printed and places it on the shelf next to three hardcover books - Foglost, Water Feature and Too Short Stories - written, per the spine, by H.C. Hardyn. She looks at it, adjusts to satisfaction enough to smile and leave the room. FLOOR CREAK.
