This is my favorite page of the batch. I like doing quiet atmospheric little time-stretching panels.
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:
But I can’t have spent more than 30 months with you, over those years. You being here has made me realize how much I’ve missed. How much I never had.
