Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Night, the same grey gravel driveway in front of Tess's warmly lit suburban house as in Scene 1, same outfit and lighting. Wide-medium shot of Tess (honey-blonde, cream linen shirt, terracotta trousers), one slipper lost on the gravel, holding a slim dark walnut mah jongg rack (a long narrow wooden tile holder, about 60 cm long) in one raised hand and waving it cheerfully at a car whose red taillights are driving away down the street. She has a bright, warm, supportive smile, like cheering a friend on; relaxed happy body language, nothing aggressive. She is NOT holding a chair or any furniture. No text. Vertical 9:16, cinematic realism. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Tess MacIntyre: A 44-year-old woman with honey-blonde hair falling in soft waves just below her collarbones. She has expressive sea-green eyes and a tall, toned build. She radiates a sophisticated suburban warmth. She is set against the backdrop of a high-end screened-in porch with warm amber lantern light. She is wearing a crisp linen shirt and terracotta-colored trousers, accented by a thin gold bracelet and medium gold hoop earrings. Reference images context (match the visual style and elements from these): - Round Table with Beige Linen (general): A large, round wooden dining table covered with a high-quality, heavy-weight light beige linen tablecloth. The fabric has a subtle natural texture and clean hemmed edges. The table is shown in a clean, minimalist environment. Soft, even lighting to highlight the texture of the linen. Square format. - Contemporary Suburban Driveway (general): A wide shot of a modern suburban driveway at night made of grey gravel. In the background, a contemporary upscale house with large windows is illuminated by warm amber interior lights. The sky is a deep dark blue. The atmosphere is quiet and high-contrast. No cars or people, square format.
