LENNOX(with conviction)

I don’t need anything else.

SYLVIA

You say that now…

LENNOX

I’ll say it forever. Just wish it hadn’t taken me so long to figure it out.

He pulls her closer, kissing the top of her head. Rusty comes bounding up the steps, panting, tail wagging. He drops at Lennox’s feet, content to lie in the fading sunlight.

LENNOX(playful)

Rusty’s got the right idea.

Sylvia chuckles, nudging Lennox with her elbow.

SYLVIA

I’m glad you figured it out.

LENNOX(grinning, then serious)

I used to think dreams were things you chase down, always just out of reach.

Sylvia watches him quietly, her hand resting gently on his arm.

LENNOX(softly)

But…maybe the dream isn’t always about having more. It’s about finally seeing what’s right in front of you.

Sylvia’s smile returns, warm and full of understanding. She leans into him, letting the stillness settle around them.

SYLVIA

This is what dreams are supposed to feel like, Lennox. They’re not something you fight for. They’re what finds you when you finally learn to let go and just be.

Lennox nods, his eyes on the horizon as the last light dips below it. He lifts her hand to his lips and kisses it gently. Sylvia smiles, and they fall into a comfortable silence, watching the sunset together.

LENNOX

I guess there’s only one thing left to do, huh?

Sylvia glances at him.

SYLVIA

What’s that?

LENNOX(sighing)

Live.

The camera slowly pulls back, revealing the serene landscape, Lennox and Sylvia together, Rusty at their feet, and the cow grazing nearby. The sun sets behind them, bathing the scene in warm light.

FADE OUT.

THE END.
