Location: Inside (INT) – Post Office – Day
Characters: Alex (27), a pragmatic post office clerk with zero interest in Valentine's Day, and Sam (25), a hopeful romantic who mails Valentine's cards to strangers every year in the spirit of spreading love.
Scene Description: The post office is buzzing with people buying last-minute Valentine’s Day cards and questioning the clerks on how quickly their items can be delivered. Alex sorts through a pile of mail. Sam enters, carrying a stack of handmade Valentine's cards. Alex calls her over to his station and begins to help address the envelopes but stops when he finds one address is invalid.
Prompt: Write a scene where Sam explains that this card, being mailed to the invalid address, was returned last year but she wanted to try again. Alex notices the card appears to have been opened, so the pair open it completely, together. What do they find inside, and how does it begin to inspire change in Alex about Valentine’s Day?
