00:02 - Merry Christmas.
00:03 - Hey Harper.
00:04 - Mom gave me her sugar cookie recipe,
00:05 so I think we should make those tonight.
00:06 I'm on my way, so I'll see you soon.
00:08 You know, pushing it like that
00:10 isn't gonna make it come any faster.
00:12 (bell dings)
00:14 - I know I've developed this reputation for being difficult,
00:17 but there's gotta be another illustrator.
00:19 - Not one that will work with you while you write.
00:22 Can I talk to you briefly?
00:25 I'll do it.
00:25 You are an exceptionally talented artist,
00:28 but you've never illustrated a book before.
00:31 - Art and writing, that's always been my dream.
00:34 - Okay.
00:35 - Okay?
00:35 - Okay.
00:36 (Liz laughing)
00:37 - So you're published?
00:38 - Not yet.
00:39 - So you sell your art?
00:40 - No.
00:41 - Well, what do you do for work, for money?
00:43 - I'm a kindergarten teacher.
00:44 - Liz, I need someone who can draw
00:45 more than just coloring books.
00:47 - I can hear you, you know.
00:49 Your last book, your first one without Pete, bombed.
00:52 If you want Red Ribbon to publish your book,
00:54 this is the only way I can see it happening.
00:56 - Are you sure we can't just do like
00:57 a little bit of shopping?
00:59 Caleb's expecting us.
01:00 It's Christmas.
01:01 (upbeat music)
01:02 - What do you think?
01:03 - I love that the cloud is having a hard time
01:05 expressing his feelings, but it's just not very playful.
01:08 - Well, that's what the illustrations are for.
01:10 - Yes, that's true.
01:11 That's true.
01:12 (upbeat music)
01:14 - Harper?
01:17 What are you doing?
01:17 - I happen to be working.
01:20 - Oh.
01:21 (upbeat music)
01:22 - I think you should take part in the festivities.
01:23 It'll help get our creative juices flowing.
01:26 - You have yourself a deal.
01:27 (upbeat music)
01:28 - You can never have too much glitter.
01:30 - Harper?
01:31 - There's--
01:31 - I had to protect my ornament at all costs.
01:34 - Wow, you guys, this is incredible.
01:37 - I have never met anyone
01:40 with more Christmas spirit than you.
01:42 - It's been a long time, Caleb.
01:45 - Hi, Pete.
01:45 - They were a best-selling team.
01:47 They had a falling out.
01:48 So he just stole your idea?
01:49 - I never trusted anyone more than I trusted Pete.
01:52 - I don't mean to pry, but I have to say,
01:54 you were exceptionally talented.
01:55 - It's the smart move.
01:56 Go where you're guaranteed to have a successful career.
01:58 - Wait, you don't understand.
02:00 - Merry Christmas, Harper.
02:01 - We need to talk.
02:03 She turned Pete's offer down immediately.
02:05 - Why would she do that?
02:06 - Don't you know?
02:08 - I've been a fool with a battered ego.
02:10 Harper, you are the most amazing person.
02:13 - Well, that's good,
02:14 because I think I missed the last train home.
