Panel 1: In the driveway of the house, Jillian walks appraisingly around a red Jeep Grand Cherokee, a four door SUV. “Ah wonderful! This will handle much better up here.”
From off panel a voice calls out: “Jillian?”
Panel 2: Rosalyn appears, smiling and walking towards Jillian. She’s wearing a red shirt with the same black jacket and purse that she had previously, and doesn’t appear to be wearing makeup. “Did I remember that right?”
Panel 3: Jillian notices her with surprise: “Oh!”
Panel 4: Jillian, with a smile: “Yes, that’s right, I’m Jillian. You were Rosalyn, yes?”
Rosalyn: “That’s me! It’s good to see you again.”
Jillian: “Same to you.”
Panel 5: Rosalyn: “What’re you up to?”
Jillian pats the side of the car: “Oh, um… I just got a new car.”
Rosalyn: “Nice!”
Panel 6: Rosalyn’s expression turns a bit vulnerable, though she’s still smiling. “I don’t have a car right now, so, kinda dependent on public transportation.”
Jillian: “Ah.”
Panel 7: There’s a moment of awkward silence as they both seem uncertain how to continue the conversation.
Panel 8: Jillian: “Well, if you ever want to go anywhere…”
Rosalyn: “God yes, I’d love to get out of the city for a bit.”
Jillian: “...we could take her for a spin?”
