My nails are red – brand new, painted today by a lovely Asian woman with khakis and surprised eyebrows and a steady hand. She complimented my color choice. She complimented the colors and shapes and sizes of the dresses in the magazine she’d laid in front of me. She showed me the long strings of…

INT. Coffee Shop – Day JEANNE sits by herself at a 4-person table. Her bag and papers cover her entire area. Like, not just a little; they’re everywhere.  The rest of the coffee shop is completely crowded and full. ADAM enters with a coffee in his hand, computer bag around his other arm. He looks…
