Annie sits and takes a breath. The only photo on her desk is

a family portrait, taken when Annie was given the Crystal

Award -- Robert, Grace, herself and the Award. She checks

her watch -- it is almost 9:30.

INT. MACLEAN FARMHOUSE, MASTER BEDROOM/CLOSET - MID-MORNING

A WALK-IN CLOSET of the master bedroom; one side is Annie's,

one side is Robert's.

Robert stands before his bureau in the closet -- he has just

showered and is putting on his watch and ring which lay beside

his cologne assortment. A FRAMED PHOTO OF HE AND ANNIE in

India -- younger, vibrant, in love... when they first met.

THE PHONE RINGS. Robert enters into the bedroom to pick up.

ROBERT:

Hello?

INSERT ANNIE:
They speak in dulled, emotionless voices:

ANNIE:

It's me.

ROBERT:

Hi.

ANNIE:

Hi.

Awkward pause.

ROBERT:

So, what, uh, what train are you

taking?

ANNIE:

I should be in by two.

ROBERT:

Okay. You want me to pick you up?

ANNIE:

Sure... What's Grace up to?

ROBERT:

Riding with Judith.

Beat.

ANNIE:

I'm sorry about last night. I

shouldn't have brought it up over

the phone.

ROBERT:

That's okay. We have to talk about

it and we're not always in the same

place... so... I just have to get

used to it.

(beat)

What do you want to do about dinner?

ANNIE:

I don't know. We'll figure it out.

Pause. There is a lot unspoken but understood between them.

Annie's other phone line rings. Robert hears it as well.
