THE REPORT
INT. HOSPITAL WAITING AREA – MORNING
The bright white lights of the hospital create an uneasy silence. Patients move through the hallways while nurses walk past with files in their hands.
Amber sits on a chair, nervously twisting her fingers together. Across from her, Dave paces back and forth. A sealed medical envelope rests on the table between them.
DAVE
You should open it.
AMBER
What if everything changes after this?
DAVE
Then we'll deal with it together.
Amber forces a small smile, but her hands continue shaking.
INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE – MOMENTS LATER
The office feels unusually quiet. Amber and Dave sit across from the doctor, waiting for answers.
DOCTOR
Thank you for coming in.
AMBER
Is everything okay?
DOCTOR
I received your test results this morning.
The doctor slides the report across the desk. Amber slowly reaches for it. Her fingers tremble as she opens the paper.
The moment her eyes reach the final line, her expression changes. Shock. Confusion. Disbelief.
AMBER
No... this can't be happening.
DAVE
Let me see.
Dave takes the report. His eyes scan the page and he freezes. He reads it again, hoping the words will change.
DAVE
This can't be right.
DOCTOR
The laboratory verified the results twice.
Silence fills the room. Amber struggles to understand the news that has suddenly changed everything.
AMBER
I don't understand. This wasn't supposed to happen.
DAVE
Whatever happens, we face it together.
Amber looks at Dave. Fear is still there, but so is a small spark of hope.
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR – LATER
They walk out of the office holding the report. The future feels uncertain, but they are no longer facing it alone.
AMBER
Together?
DAVE
Together.
They stand in the middle of the busy hospital corridor, realizing their lives will never be the same again.
