INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
A small, cozy living room with the sound of a clock ticking. The sunlight filters in through the curtains. A calendar on the wall shows the current date circled in red.
CHARACTERS:
SARAH (30s, a professional woman with a successful career. She's a perfectionist, usually well-organized and punctual, but struggles with stress and anxiety.)
JIM (40s, Sarah's husband. He's a supportive and patient man who often helps Sarah deal with her anxieties. He tries to keep a calm and relaxed demeanor in order to balance out Sarah's high-strung personality.)
Sarah frantically searches for her car keys while Jim watches, sipping his coffee.
SARAH (pacing) I can't find my keys, and I have that big presentation today! I can't be late!
JIM (relaxed) Did you check your purse, or maybe the kitchen counter?
SARAH (anxious) I've looked everywhere, Jim! This is a disaster! I can't let my team down! Jim sets his coffee down and helps Sarah look for her keys.
JIM (reassuring) Take a deep breath, Sarah. We'll find your keys, and you'll make it to the presentation on time. Sarah stops, takes a deep breath, and starts looking in her purse again. She finds her keys.
SARAH (relieved) Found them! But now I'm running late! I need to go!
EXT. STREET - DAY
Sarah runs to her car, with Jim following close behind. He opens the car door for her.
JIM (smiling) Drive safe, and remember to breathe. You've got this, Sarah.
SARAH (grateful) Thanks, Jim. I'll do my best.
Sarah kisses Jim on the cheek, gets in the car, and drives away.
INT. CAR - DAY
Sarah is stuck in traffic. She looks at the clock on the dashboard and takes a deep breath.
SARAH (whispering to herself) Just breathe. You can do this.
