INT. CAR / DUSK

RACHEL GARRETT (female, late 30s) is alone in a car, driving along a busy road as the light fades. Fairy lights are strung between the streetlights, and glowing snowmen, reindeer and stars hang from the poles.

RACHEL is wearing a crisp blouse with a light blue cardigan, and her hair is tied into a neat bun.

INT. HOUSE / DAY

RACHEL (5) stands beside the front door and puts a raincoat over her pressed school pinafore and knee-high socks. Her hair is in neat blonde pigtails.

Her parents, EVAN (30s) and ELEANOR (30s), talk quietly with each other at the other end of the hallway.
