(The truck zooms across the highway)

Delilah: "So..uh..Julia...what um..what happened there?"

Henry: "She's uh..She's gone. Passed about two months ago."

Delilah: "..I'm sorry, Henry.."

(She holds his hand tenderly)

Henry: "Yeah..so does my appearance live up to expectations?"

Delilah: "Heh..uh...it's um..it's something."

Henry: "Ouch."

Delilah: "You really think I care what you look like at this point? Hank, my friend I spent a lot of nights desperately fighting the urge to rush out to Two Forks in the middle of the night and pounce on you then and there."

Henry: "..wow."

Delilah: "What? You surprised?"

Henry: "I mean..kinda. I know we flirted here and there but I had no clue you were that ready."

Delilah: "Really? I thought I was very non subtle about it the whole time."

Henry: "You were. It's just hard to tell how much of that was just the isolation and loneliness talking."

Delilah: "...so how about me? How does my appearance stack up to what you pictured?"

Henry: "It's um..it...exceeds all expectations."

(Delilah grinned to herself as the truck approached the campgrounds)
