　　INT. GENERAL STORE - DAYFrancesca makes small talk with the grocery lady as she buyswhat she needs.

　　EXT. MAIN STREET - DAYFrancesca places a bag of groceries on the front seat of thetruck, then gets in herself to wait for Richard. She takes adeep breath and removes a handkerchief from her bag to wipethe sweat from her face. She freezes -Through the windshield, she sees ROBERT standing¹ beside histruck across the street, staring at her. Her heart stops.

　　For a moment, she isn't even sure he's real.

　　The town moves about its business around them. But neithernotice or care. Whatever safety or forgetfulness she felt isgone. Her feelings burst through. She sits there helplessbefore him -- willing to go or stay depending on what he did.

　　He begins walking towards her. She prepares herself. Her lifewill change -- it has to. There's not turning back.

　　But the closer Robert gets, the clearer he can see that sheis crying. And he stops.

　　Without any words, he realizes what taking her with him wouldmean. With just a glance, he sacrifices her. With their eyeslocked in the middle of Main Street -- in front of the wholetown -- they smile and say goodbye.

　　Robert returns to his truck. He drives off down Main Street,taking the first left.

　　Moments later, Richard throws the feed bag into the back ofhis truck and gets in. Francesca is wiping her eyes.

　　He doesn't notice. He drives off in the same direction asRobert.

　　FRANCESCA (V.O.)For a moment, I didn't know where Iwas. And for a split second, thethought crossed my mind that hereally didn't want me -- that it waseasy to walk away.

　　As they pass the corner where Robert made his left turn,Francesca turns to look and sees:

　　ROBERT'S TRUCK IS PARKED just off the corner. As if he had todrive away to get out of sight, but couldn't bring himself todrive any further.

　　The sight of him hiding there breaks Francesca's heart, sheturns away from her husband to hide the tears.
