JAKE
Storyboard Text
- His gaze fall upon the leash, which still hangs from the peg by the door.
- I hope that by slipping into the darkness of a nap, my sorrow will be temporarily masked.
- Jake’s eyes snap open, and he quickly turns to the side. But like his aching heart, the spot where Max always sat on the couch remains empty.
- For fifteen years they were inseparable. Always side by side— from walks on the beach, hikes on the trail, to even just a ride to the grocery store for something Martha may have forgotten, they always went together.
- Though he knows that in some ways he should be thankful for just having their time together– and that the sickness took Max quickly rather than dragging out the pain for weeks, maybe even months, he still feels cheated.
- Unable to sleep, he looks around the all too empty room. He realizes for the first time how much his grief weighs, how hard it is to even rise with such a heaviness inside.
-
- It is then he hears a shuffle from behind and turns to see Martha standing in the doorway, her shoulder resting against the frame.
-
- I thought you might be in here...
-
- I miss him, too, Jake. More than you’ll ever know.
- There’s a faraway melancholy tone to her voice, but he knows that her heart, like his, has a hole too big to fill.
-
- I guess you do know, don’t you, Jake.
