Double new graves for Ruthy and Spence, next to Ruthy's deceased husband. Amber's framed photo of butterflies rests against Ruthy's gravestone.
Joelle and Wayne are not present. Clara stands in-between Amber and Taylor, holding Amber's hand. Jake's arm hugs Amber. Jefferson and a hundred elder friends surround them.
minister
May Ruthy Burns and Spence Burns rest in peace. Amen.
EVERYONE
Amen.
Taylor reaches down and grabs some dirt, tosses it into the graves. Amber and Jake do similar. Taylor motions to Clara to join. She hesitates.
CLARA
Did you kill my daddy?
TAYLOR
No, Clara.
CLARA
Did you help him die?
TAYLOR
No.
CLARA
Did you kill Nana?
TAYLOR
No.
CLARA
Did you help her die?
TAYLOR
That's a good question, Clara. I'm not sure, but I hope I did help her die more peaceful and happy.
CLARA
When I die, will you help me?
TAYLOR
If I'm alive, I'll try. But if I die before you, will you help me?
CLARA
I don't know how.
TAYLOR
Maybe you can learn.
Clara smiles and grabs Taylor's hand with one hand, holding tight. She reaches for dirt with her other hand.
