Panel 1 [The two sit, Adelaide wearing a content smile as she places her hand over his in the sand. Barzillai looks down at their hands sadly]

Panel 2 [Gulls wheel overhead in the light of the setting sun, calling out]

Panel 3 [Seafoam creeps up onto the beach, swirling around shells]

Panel 4[Barzillai, in profile, speaks somberly as he looks out over the water]

BARZILLAI:
We’ve been married 16 years. Coming up on 17, in a few months.

ADELAIDE:
Yes.

Panel 5 [Barzillai looks over at Adelaide with a sad, cowed expression. Shot over Adelaide's shoulder, her expression unseen.]

BARZILLAI:
