EXT. JOHN AND JAN'S STREET - DAY

Both per previous re uphill walk with dumbbells in hand.  

JOHN: I've been thinking.

JAN: I've been noticing.

JOHN: We should reach out to Wanda and Ruth.

JAN: Mind reader.

JOHN: They're family now.

JAN: Indeed. A card?

JOHN: That's a start. I'll get the address when I call Hunter.

JAN: When are you going to call?

JOHN: When he gets home, which is according to Barb is Tuesday. I should have called earlier.

JAN: Would you mind if I join the call.

JOHN: Of course not. By that time we'll be talking to a bestselling author.

JAN: So much for under the radar cult following.

JOHN: And being made into a movie.

JAN: Barb said that according to Chloe's he's considering moving.

JOHN: I heard that. Do we know anything about prospective locations?

JAN: We do not but Barb's guess is a cabin in the woods you can't see from the road. 

They arrive at their driveway, the Mercedes in its previous spot. They set their dumbbells on the curb, John checks his watch.

JOHN: Guess.

JAN: It felt quick. Sub thirty?

JOHN: Twenty-eight and small change.

JAN: Are we getting younger?

JOHN: Alas, no. Which segues into something else I've been thinking about.

He takes her hand, they walk the driveway to the door.

JAN: Yes.

JOHN: Simply to introduce the notion.

JAN: Alright.

JOHN: I want to be cremated, Jan.

Jan stops them.

JAN: You really are a mind reader. I've been considering the same. 

JOHN: Let's talk.

He opens the door with key, lets her in, follows, closes door.
