CUT TO:

INT. HALL - NIGHT Cole enters the DARK HALLWAY. He gets startled by the SOUND OF HIS PUPPY GROWLING. Sebastian comes racing down the hall and scurries past Cole. Cole watches his puppy dart into the living room and under a couch. Cole slowly turns back and looks down the hall. THE DOOR TO COLE'S ROOM SITS AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR. IT'S ALMOST SHUT. COLE WATCHES AS THE DOOR BEGINS TO OPEN VERY SLOWLY. IT OPENS WIDE. COLE DOESN'T MOVE AN INCH. SUDDENLY IN THE STILLNESS AND THE DARKNESS, A SMALL FIGURE SCURRIES FROM ANOTHER BEDROOM INTO THE BLACKNESS OF COLE'S ROOM. IT HAPPENS LIKE A FLASH. Cole stops breathing. THE FIGURE SLOWLY STEPS OUT FROM COLE'S DOORWAY.IT'S A BOY. A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN COLE. THE BOY WHISPERS IN A LOW, HOARSE VOICE.

BOY:

Come on... I'll show you where my dad keeps his gun... Come on. THE BOY TURNS. WE SEE THAT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IS MISSING AS HE DISAPPEARS INTO THE DARKNESS OF COLE'S ROOM. Cole is too terrified to move.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT Lynn is kneeling on the kitchen floor trying to coax the puppy out of the broom closet. COLE (o.s.) Momma. Lynn turns -- surprised to hear her son's voice. Lynn's eyes are red from crying. She wipes them quickly with the back of her hand. Mother and son look at each other. Beat.

COLE:

If you're not very mad... Can I sleep in your room tonight? Lynn fights back some tears.

LYNN:

Look at my face, Cole. Cole does. Lynn smiles at her son.

LYNN:

I'm not very mad. Lynn hugs him. Beat.

LYNN:

Baby... Why are you shaking? Cole doesn't answer.

LYNN:

Cole, what's wrong? Cole just closes his eyes and holds his mom tight.

LYNN:

(desperate) ...Please tell me. Cole doesn't say a word.

LYNN:

(crying) Please.

CUT TO:

INT. ANTIQUE STORE - DAY We are in an antique store. Filled floor to ceiling with furniture and knickknacks. Anna stands with a YOUNG COUPLE. All three lean over and peer into a glass cabinet. An antique engagement ring sits on a velvet stand.

ANNA:

It's Edwardian. Beautifully worked. Entirely platinum with a mine cut diamond and an actual color Burmese Sapphire... It's timeless.

YOUNG MAN:

You got anything a little plainer? The young woman looks at her beau.

YOUNG WOMAN:

Plainer? You want a plain ring to go with your plain fiance. Is that how it is?

YOUNG MAN:

No, baby. Don't get in a tizzy. It's just... you're so beautiful... you're like a Burmese Sapphire all by yourself. You don't need all that.

YOUNG WOMAN:

(disbelief) Uh-huh. Anna smiles as she takes the ring out of the cabinet.

ANNA:

Why don't you two hold it? She places it in their hands.

ANNA:

Do you feel longing?

YOUNG WOMAN:

Excuse me?

ANNA:

When I touch this piece I feel a longing. I imagine the woman who owned this, loved a man deeply she couldn't be with. The young woman looks at Anna with great intrigue.

YOUNG WOMAN:

Did he have wavy hair and broad shoulders? The young man throws an odd glance at his fiance.

ANNA:

I don't know... But maybe... (beat) A lot of the pieces in this store give me feelings. I think maybe when people own things and then they pass away -- a part of themselves gets printed on those things -- like fingerprints. Beat. The young man and the young woman gaze at Anna silently. They look down at the ring. They place their hands on it reverently, delicately -- like checking for a pulse. Anna can't hold back her sweet smile.

CUT TO:

INT. ANTIQUE STORE - DAY Anna moves to the back desk where SEAN comes out. He's carrying an antique bench in his arms. He places it down and takes a much needed seat.

SEAN:

You don't need someone with a masters. You need a wrestler guy whose neck is larger than his head.

ANNA:

I need a wrestler with a masters. Anna fills out the paperwork for the ring.
