The Cookie Jar

Shadows cling to the sleek suburban facade as Travis and Amy pull into the driveway, their engine's rumble fading into tense silence. Months of stolen nights fuel their bond, but tonight's the gauntlet: Amy facing Travis's folks for the first time. Her nerves twist like barbed wire—pep talks from Travis barely dull the edge. 'Chill out,' he murmurs, thrusting a battered bag her way. 'Mom and Dad? They're saints. They'll eat you up, flaws and all.' Amy bites her lip, her rags-to-riches dread gnawing deep; her family's grit clashes with this polished upper-crust world, her scuffed suitcase a glaring scar. Travis slings an arm around her quivering frame, steering her to the door. Knob twists—bam, Mr. Greene swings it wide, enveloping Travis in a rough bear hug. Mrs. Greene glides in, all warm smiles, pulling Amy from the sidelines. The girl's frozen, awkward as sin, till Travis bridges the gap. Mrs. G clasps Amy's hand like a lifeline, drawing her into the glow. Mr. G snags the bags, his eyes flicking hungry over her curves as she slips inside. He props the door, stealing one last leer at that tight ass before sealing them in. CUT TO TITLE PLATE. The lens prowls the kitchen's steamy haze, family banter slicing the air amid sizzling pans. Amy's spellbound—the Greenes ooze flawless domestic heat, a nuclear dream teetering on the brink of shatter.
