A square little park. Just the beginning of spring. An elderly couple is sitting on a park bench finishing sandwiches. They are happy. The air is cool but not chilly. They are wearing coats. They chill easily. The park is empty except for a walking couple circling the park. The sitting couple smiles at the walking couple.

EUNICE: The girl looks like you.

BETTY: When I was young? Maybe so.

EUNICE: Your eyes have not aged.

Betty smiles at Eunice. The walking couple enters their house. Betty sings a song that Eunice likes. Eunice stands and dances. Their limbs are light, their eyes aglow. Magic.
