INT. THE REECE HOUSE -- DAY Reece enters the home we saw in our teaser. It’s furnished in comfortable beach decor with highlights of Reece’s Naval career and Lauren’s athletic career peppered throughout. The walls are lined with FAMILY PHOTOS. Reece coaching Lucy’s soccer team. Lauren running an Ironman. The Reeces camping in Joshua Tree. It all says one thing: family is Reece’s refuge. REECE Laur? Luce?! No answer. Reece checks his RESCO DIVE WATCH. It’s 2pm. They should be here. THE KITCHEN Reece enters and finds mail stacked on the kitchen counter. REECE (CONT’D) Laur?... TIGHT ON: Reece, as his HEART starts POUNDING... His BREATH quickens... But just when it’s starting to feel like that nightmare he had turned real... LAUGHTER pulls Reece out... EXT. THE REECE’S BACKYARD & GARAGE -- DAY Reece exits the back of the cottage and finds Lucy and Lauren climbing on a homemade ‘bouldering’ wall built inside their DETACHED GARAGE. Lauren urges her daughter on. LAUREN You got it, Luce. Reach-- LUCY (seeing Reece) Daddy! Lucy drops into the crash mat and runs into her father’s arms. Reece, overwhelmed with relief, hugs his daughter like he won’t let go. Lauren watches, stunned. LAUREN You’re here?... Reece crosses to Lauren. He wraps her in his arms, repeating her words back to her. REECE You’re here. Off Reece, calming down, grateful that nightmare wasn’t real.
