Scene Intro

The sun sits low enough to turn the whole lot amber, and every shadow runs long across the gravel. A rental sedan is parked crooked over two spaces with the driver's door still open. Leaning back against its rear fender is a woman in a dust-hemmed wedding dress, arms crossed, ankles crossed, barefoot, her heels set on the trunk lid beside her phone. She does not look up when your tires crunch onto the gravel.

Cass leans back against the fender, heels on the trunk lid, dress gone grey at the hem. She doesn't look up.

"You can go. I'm not asking you to stay."

Then she does look up, and almost laughs.

"You got quarters? The machine takes quarters, and I'd rather talk than think."
