Jenny's Monologue
Scene 1
A middle aged man sits alone in a coffeeshop with a Danish and black coffee. Windows are open; a soft breeze drifting around the shop. The smell of croissants and freshly brewed coffee fills the store. A

Jenny drives by, a lawyer next to her in her car. The two step out.
Jenny: Are you Jared Smith?
Jared nods.
Jenny: Here. You own this shop now. Sarah gave it to you upon her passing.
Jenny hands him the lease to the building and all the paperwork involving the shop.
Jared stands up.
Jared: She's dead?!
Jenny and the Lawyer nod.
Lawyer: I'm so sorry for your loss. Were the two of you close?
Jared: Only as of
