Try a logline for each possibility as writing the thoughts is the only way forward.
Since you don’t have the answer as to what was in the envelope, consider that the story doesn’t answer it, either. It could be a McGuffin or running joke or…
Sound like an interesting seed idea for a story.? ?But what it may grow into, I don’t? know. Have you ever asked your husband WHY he didn’t open it?
Be that as it may, I suggest? the principle of “Chekhov’s gun”? applies.? ?If a gun is introduced in the 1st Act,? it has to be fired in the 2nd.? By extrapolation, if you’re going to introduce? the envelope as an important prop in the 1st Act, you have to pay it off by the end of the film.
How do you want to pay it off?
My only question would be, Once your lead decides to bury the body, what is standing in the way?
