♥: FINAL SCENE. 

Interior shot, a living room. X (auburn hair, brown eyes) sits on the opposite end of a couch with Y (brown hair, hazel eyes). Two wine glasses on the table, a sip left in each. The conversation has wound to a close, there is nothing left to say, but neither stands or moves to leave. Eyes meet.

Close up on X, biting lip.

Close up on Y, sucking in cheek, eyes darting.

Tension has been building the entire film between these two friends, something palpable as they attempt their false starts -- their failed dates and dreams, quiet successes and experiences.

Eyes meet again, and instead of something awkward, X and Y smile, genuinely, widely.


Or perhaps the final scene is more obvious -- grabbing each other, finally, mouth on mouth.
Or perhaps it is at a concert, when their gazes hold  a moment too long, and a hand slips into another.
Or perhaps it is at a party, when they steal away for a moment, not to do anything rash, just to remind one another of their presence.
Or perhaps it is in X's head, or Y's, as a hand extends out a car window to meet the rushing air, sliding up and down like a snake, warm under the sun; the driver of the car raises their eyes to the sunroof, grins.



Director's note:
As the final scene plays ---- we need to check this out with legal, and audio, but --------- let's try to get The River by Some Velvet Morning playing over it and into the credits, yes? Get back to me. It has a nice sense of finality...still sounds, though, like there's a lot more to come.
