Barb and Jan at the spa

INT.EXT. MINERAL HOT TUB - DAY

Jan and Barbara soak in the tub on a deck with a view to an oak tree and vineyard. Each with a glass of wine at hand. A door to a room.     

BARBARA: Did dad say where they're driving?

JAN: Santa Rose Creek to Cambria.

BARBARA: Nice.

JAN: Lunch at Oysterville. Do we know if she's found her subject for her video project?

BARBARA: We do. Horse day.

JAN: Really.

BARBARA: Jackie, her cousin and her cousin's girlfriend are contributing a lot of what they shot. 

JAN: When is it due?

BARBARA: First week in October. 

JAN: Can't wait to see it. 

BARBARA: And.

JAN: And.

BARBARA: Hunter says the birthday vehicle issue has been settled.

JAN: Really. 

BARBARA: Yes.

JAN: Cue drumroll.

BARBARA: Hint.

JAN: Okay.

BARBARA: Her surfboard will fit in the bed. 

MASSEUSE, 30, enters, with two towels. 

MASSEUSE: Ready for your massages? 

Barbara and Jan finish the last of their flights, get out of the rub, the attendant hands them their towels and opens door for them to leave through. The attendant props the door open, gets the flight trays, leaves, letting door close behind her.

Chloe and John in the Jag

INT./EXT. JAGUAR XKR CONVERTIBLE - DAY 

Top down, Chloe driving, John in the front passenger seat, cruising a narrow winding road through rolling hills populated by oaks.

John in new blue jeans, boat shoes, polo shirt complemented by Paso Robles Golf Course ballcap. Chloe in corduroy pants, running shoes, raglan-style SLO HS SOFTBALL shirt, beanie. 

Awhile before Chloe speaks.

CHLOE: You would have liked him.

JOHN: I wish we could have met.

CHLOE: I do too. And he would have liked you.

JOHN: What about me do you think he'd have liked?

Pause.

CHLOE: Your sense of humor, for one.

JOHN: What about it?

CHLOE: Dry. Subtle. Clever. 

JOHN: As opposed to knee-slapping, stomach-hurting hilarious guffawing.

CHLOE: Yes.

JOHN: Knock knock.

Chloe smiles.

CHLOE: Who's there?

JOHN: Ida.

Chloe beams. 

CHLOE: Ida who?

JOHN: Ida asked him about cowboying.

CHLOE: What would you have asked him?

JOHN: What he most liked and disliked about it. If he disliked anything about it.

CHLOE: He did.

JOHN: Alright.

CHLOE: He hated to have to put down an animal. He had to shoot his own horse once but I can't talk about that. Fixing fences wasn't one of his favorite things to do, especially in the cold. He liked being outdoors, being on a horse.

JOHN: Of course.

CHLOE: Being in places that were, quote, easy on the eyes. He asked about you.

JOHN: Yeah.

CHLOE: Where you grew up, went to school, what kind of law you practiced.

They round a bend and see ahead on Chloe's side a COWBOY using a fence stretcher to repair a break in the line of a barbed-wire fence. His palomino horse is tied to the limb of an oak and at repose under its shade. John and Chloe look at each other, Chloe slows down as they near the cowboy who looks up as they pass - he is a dead-ringer for Tom at 30 - and tips his hat as they go by and wave back. John turns to keep his eyes on the cowboy, Chloe keeps her eyes on him in the rearview mirror. The cowboy takes off his hat to wave it. Chloe and John wave back and round the bend, the cowboy out of view. Awhile before Chloe speaks.

CHLOE: Grampa.

JOHN: Yes.

CHLOE: That was Tom at 30.

JOHN: I see the resemblance.
