EXT. ROADSIDE PEACH STAND - DAY
RUTH, 70-something - tennis shoes, shorts to knees, Willie Nelson tour tee-shirt, visor - walks with a bag of peaches to an older Volvo wagon with Texas plates, one of several vehicles with Texas plates in the makeshift dirt lot next to the stand at which SEVERAL CUSTOMERS are picking or paying. PHONE in a shorts pocket RINGTONES TBD. She arrives at Volvo, sets down peaches, gets phone.
RUTH: Hey, big brother.
Peach stand in Fredericksburg. Where are you?
(Ruth listens, her face expresses her shock. She sets down peaches, sits on nearby desk.)
I'm here. Speechless. Goodness gracious, did you have this planned?
Alright. Well call me tonight.
I love you too. Oh Tommy? Get a picture.
I'll be waiting.
(She pockets phone, sits, stunned. WHIR OF CICADAS.)
INT. HUNTER'S GUEST ROOM - DAY
Tom taps phone on desk, stares out the window, then at guest book, finally gets up, gets hat, leaves into hallway, BOOTS KNOCKING ON HARDWOOD FADING AWAY moments before Tom is framed by window when he arrives at the stone wall, gets phone, raises it to take a picture, Organ Mountains behind him. He pockets phone, turns to face the mountains.
