Jason heads into the kitchen to grab the coffee pot.
Dr. Masters notices the avoidance...he shakes his head and smiles.
INT. KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS
Jason grabs the coffee. He turns around and, standing by the refrigerator, is ANDREA PRATT [Female; 40’s]. Andrea is Jason's wife.
JASON
Hey. You okay?
She doesn't respond.
JASON
Are you gonna greet Dr. Masters? When are you gonna end this 'silent treatment' shit?
Andrea looks at Jason...her gaze is not very inviting. She walks out of the kitchen without saying a word.
INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Jason walks out of the kitchen and grabs Dr. Masters’ coffee mug to pour him some more coffee.

DR. MASTERS
Thank you.
JASON
One day my wife will actually stop and talk to you. She’s obviously dealing with a lot right now.
DR. MASTERS
It's understandable. Tragedies of this nature and magnitude aren't easy to process.
Jason jumps in fear.
DR. MASTERS
What? What is it?
Sitting in the seat next to Dr. Masters, is Kristen.
Dr. Masters looks toward the area he sees Jason staring at. He sees an empty chair.
DR. MASTERS
Close your eyes and take a breath, Mr. Pratt. There’s nobody here but you and I.
Jason closes his eyes and sighs deeply.

He opens his eyes slightly and peeks at Dr. Masters...nothing. Dr. Masters is sitting at the table alone. Just as Jason is about to feel relieved, a shadow covers his right arm...he sees it and looks to his right to see Kristen standing next to him.
Jason screams and dashes into the kitchen.
