Zeke and isabel (red wine)
A boy with no ears gave a girl a hard handshake. She opened her mouth all the way and showed him her back teeth. She stuck out her tongue as far as she could. He felt joy and tried not to smile, shutting his lips tight.
She said, "Hi, you're a boy, right? I know you are, but I don't care, unless you got something good to say... Right now. At my face right now!"
He said, "Hi, my name's Zeke."
"I know," she said.
"Me too. What's your name?"
"Isabel. I made that up just now, but now it's true, because I made it true.... just now."
"I don't know what you are doing here," said Zeke. His eyebrows were furrowed and he had no idea. Isabel investigated his face carefully and poked a lock of his hair over his left temple.
Isabel wore a blue dress with a cloud print. She did a front flip over Zeke. They stood back to back in front of Mina Elementary School. They were brunettes. They were 6 or 7.
Isabel suddenly realised Zeke had no ears, and she wondered how he had heard her.
19 years later, they lie on a double bed in a small bedroom with no window, lit by a small yellow lamp bulb. They lie on their backs, side by side, in opposite directions, heads by each other's knees. They are both 5 foot 5. They wear the same clothes as in the last scene. Zeke wears a light brown T-shirt and dark brown shorts. They stare up at the camera deeply, listening to "Shore" by Balmorhea.
Aaron calls Greg, and Greg cries about Life.
Aaron says something sad and frustrating about Andee, and Greg is sad and frustrated and wants to cry but can't.
But Greg knew Aaron and Andee would do awesome things and the people will be good, because Aaron and Andee are the best!
Greg had some good plans and he will do some good stuff and be amazing friends with people, because it is wonderful to be alive!
They drank coffee, ate salad and protein and fat, and taught children how to be healthy and happy.
