Cold open
INT. AIRPORT BAGGAGE CLAIM - NIGHT Fluorescent lights hum. ALEX (35, rumpled blazer, hopeful smile) stands between MAYA (32, chic coat) and BEN (34, tailored jacket) as they nuzzle and laugh. Alex shifts a duffel bag awkwardly. MAYA (to Ben, ignoring Alex) Babe the cabin has a hot tub. Just us. BEN (kissing her neck) And zero cell service. Perfect. Alex forces a chuckle and waves his boarding pass. ALEX Three's company right? I brought the good tequila. Maya glances at him then whispers something to Ben that makes them both laugh. Alex's smile tightens. A nearby couple watches the trio with pity. Alex notices and straightens his shoulders pretending not to care.
