EXT. BACK PORCH - NIGHT
HEAVY RAIN.
Wanda and Ruth in rockers, Hunter on a bench, finishing bowls of ice cream in the screened-in room with doors to the house and grassy yard fenced by cedar. Mini-fridge, four chairs at a small table.
HUNTER: How far back in your family does homemade ice cream go?
RUTH: Well, before you leave in the morning I'll show you my grandmother's hand-crank bucket i have in a box in the garage. Is it alright?
HUNTER: It's delicious, Ruth.
WANDA: We love that selfie Tom took with Chloe where you had ice cream in Ruidoso.
RUTH: Oh my goodness.
WANDA: And all the others.
HUNTER: We took a lot of keepers.
RUTH: I've already got an album started.
WANDA: That White Sands sunset is spectacular.
HUNTER: Barb's going to posterize it. You'll get one.
WANDA: And Hunter, I have to say, speaking of before you leave and pictures, that selfie Olivia took with Tom at Lake Tahoe...it just took my breath away.
RUTH: I had to sit down.
WANDA: It's like a precious jewel.
HUNTER: I'm happy to have it. And his recollection, recorded by Chloe.
RUTH: I'd love to see it sometime.
WANDA: She was so beautiful.
HUNTER: Chloe's making a school project out of of what was photographed and recorded.
RUTH: How wonderful.
HUNTER: Jackie, Sess and Claire are sending what they have.
In the LULL each finish their ice cream and set down their bowls.
LOUD THUNDER.
