00:00:00You know what this means.
00:00:05It's wonderful to be on this panel and talk about marriage as a whole.
00:00:15I've heard a lot about your long, successful marriage history.
00:00:20What makes the human element more positive?
00:00:23I'd like to ask you to give me your answer.
00:00:26What do you think?
00:00:51Walk with me.
00:00:53She hated it.
00:00:54No, not at all.
00:00:56This is my first big article that isn't a which breakfast food are you quiz and I totally blew it.
00:01:00You did not blow it.
00:01:02But she didn't hate it.
00:01:04She just thought it was a little one-sided.
00:01:07Well, it's an opinion piece.
00:01:08Yes, and it was very well written.
00:01:10I mean, everything you write is good.
00:01:12It's just a little cynical.
00:01:14Take the title, for instance.
00:01:16Marriage, is it compatible for the 21st century?
00:01:19I mean, that question in itself already implies you think it's out of date.
00:01:23Okay.
00:01:24I mean, that's a good point.
00:01:25I will change the title.
00:01:27And it's not just the title.
00:01:30This is not an academic study.
00:01:32It's a lifestyle magazine.
00:01:34We want real stories.
00:01:36Romance sells.
00:01:39Okay, fine.
00:01:40However, people who choose to stay single are worthy of having their opinions heard.
00:01:44I'm not trying to sell some fake image here.
00:01:47Real love, successful marriages, they do exist.
00:01:52Weren't your grandparents married for like 60 years?
00:01:57Yes, but...
00:01:58See?
00:02:03Look, Hannah.
00:02:04Ever since you and Kyle broke up, you seem kind of down.
00:02:08Oh, come on.
00:02:09That was two years ago and I'm the one who ended it.
00:02:11Yes, but every breakup is hard in its own way.
00:02:14Especially when you are engaged.
00:02:16I just really don't think I'm letting it affect my work that much.
00:02:20But I get it.
00:02:22You need something different.
00:02:23It's my job to deliver, so consider it done.
00:02:26You are going to crush it.
00:02:28It's just the first draft.
00:02:30You can fix it.
00:02:32Yeah.
00:02:33Okay, yes.
00:02:34You're right.
00:02:38Oh, shoot.
00:02:40What?
00:02:41I was supposed to meet my Nana's lawyer tonight, but I can cancel it.
00:02:45I'm going to work on the articles.
00:02:46Absolutely not.
00:02:47Go.
00:02:48We'll talk some more later.
00:03:16Mr. Singh?
00:03:18Oh, hello.
00:03:19Hi, I'm Hannah Moore.
00:03:21Ah, yes.
00:03:22The elusive Ms. Moore.
00:03:24Please, come in.
00:03:25Have a seat.
00:03:29I'm not sure if you got my voicemails, but I'm the executor of your grandmother, Rosalind Moore's will.
00:03:37Okay.
00:03:38Mrs. Moore was a wonderful person.
00:03:42Yeah, she was.
00:03:44And she clearly felt the same about you.
00:03:47She left everything in your name.
00:03:51What?
00:03:52Are you sure?
00:03:53Yes.
00:03:54Not many cash assets, but she did have this.
00:03:57Her cabin in Sherbrooke Falls.
00:04:00Did you know about it?
00:04:02Yeah.
00:04:03Um, I thought she sold this years ago when she moved to the city after my grandpa died.
00:04:08No, she refused to.
00:04:10Even when she probably could have used the money.
00:04:12She was adamant that you have it.
00:04:15Well, we just need a few signatures to make it all official.
00:04:23She also left you this.
00:04:26And here's the key to the cabin.
00:04:36Wow.
00:04:37I know.
00:04:39Have you read it?
00:04:40Have you read it?
00:04:41No, not yet.
00:04:45I feel like I should save it for something.
00:04:48They're her last words.
00:04:50Well, that's understandable.
00:04:52Yeah.
00:04:54What about the cabin?
00:04:57Wasn't that the place they used to go to every summer when we were kids?
00:05:01Yeah, but I haven't been there in ten years.
00:05:04Between school and then work.
00:05:07They always came to me, but Nana left it there.
00:05:11So what are you going to do?
00:05:13I don't know, sell it?
00:05:14It'd be a shame to let it sit empty.
00:05:16Well, why does it have to sit empty?
00:05:19Maybe you should go.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21This could be good for you.
00:05:23I can't.
00:05:24Between work and the article, I've got to submit it in two weeks.
00:05:27You can write it from there.
00:05:29Half our staff works remotely. It's not a big deal.
00:05:32I'll clear with the magazine.
00:05:34Really?
00:05:35I mean, you haven't even unpacked since her funeral.
00:05:39Go to Sherbrooke Falls.
00:05:41Spend some time surrounded by Nana's stuff and rest, heal, write.
00:05:49You need a chance to process all this.
00:05:53That does sound appealing.
00:05:55You know, you're basically my therapist now.
00:05:58And bestie and boss.
00:06:01And work out partner.
00:06:03And work out partner, just not lately.
00:06:08Go repack your bags and I'll order us a takeout.
00:06:12Okay, fine, but it's on me.
00:06:20Thai food.
00:06:21Change.
00:06:34Daddy, the store's on fire!
00:06:40Hey, I just told you not to track dirt into our store.
00:06:44Come on, give me a break.
00:06:46Plus, as soon as we open, there are going to be like a dozen people
00:06:49trudging through here making the same mess.
00:06:51Well, there are a lot of people.
00:06:53I mean, I don't know.
00:06:54There's a lot of people.
00:06:55There's a lot of people.
00:06:56There's a lot of people.
00:06:57There's a lot of people.
00:06:58There's a lot of people.
00:06:59There's a lot of people.
00:07:00There's a lot of people.
00:07:01There's a lot of people.
00:07:02Well, there is a mop.
00:07:04Right here.
00:07:05With your name on it.
00:07:06So...
00:07:07Fine.
00:07:08Yes!
00:07:09Oh, but first, we have that delivery to unload.
00:07:11Are you going to give me a hand or am I going to have to call dad out of return?
00:07:13No.
00:07:14No, no, no.
00:07:15Don't do it.
00:07:16Because, you know, he's just going to backseat drive this place again.
00:07:17Messing the whole place up.
00:07:18Right?
00:07:19Okay, come on.
00:07:20I'll make coffee while we're at it.
00:07:23Okay.
00:07:25That about does it for the dairy products.
00:07:28Hey, what is this?
00:07:29Oh, yes!
00:07:33Oh, these are so cute!
00:07:36See, I thought these would be perfect for in front of the cash.
00:07:39You know, great impulse buys.
00:07:41Oh, more like a bunch of dust collectors.
00:07:43Dust collectors?
00:07:44Oh, you are such a downer.
00:07:46I am.
00:07:47I'm just trying to balance the books.
00:07:49Yeah, well, maybe if you'd let me update the website so we could actually attract some new customers.
00:07:54We don't need...
00:07:55A new website?
00:08:01We are doing just fine as it is.
00:08:03But we haven't touched it in years.
00:08:05In the tech world, that might as well be a century.
00:08:07We should get with the times, because I would love even an online store.
00:08:11Okay, easy now.
00:08:12We'll start with the mugs.
00:08:13You can put them wherever you want.
00:08:15Please, no more website talk.
00:08:17Okay, fine.
00:08:18But promise me we'll talk about it soon.
00:08:20Okay.
00:08:21I promise.
00:08:22But not today.
00:08:25But you know what you can do for me today?
00:08:28Call my friend Rachel.
00:08:30She's free this weekend.
00:08:32Me?
00:08:33What?
00:08:34Rachel's amazing.
00:08:35She's a teacher.
00:08:36She's sociable.
00:08:37She's single.
00:08:39She sounds great.
00:08:40But...
00:08:41Oh, come on.
00:08:43I know it's weird, but...
00:08:46Olivia wouldn't want you going great in that cabin by yourself.
00:08:48She'd want you to put yourself out there again.
00:08:51Can we stop?
00:08:52Can we not speculate on what Olivia would have wanted?
00:08:54It's okay to move on.
00:08:55I know, and I'm good.
00:08:57Honestly.
00:08:58Okay.
00:08:59Okay, fine.
00:09:01You gotta check these out.
00:09:03Oh, now what do you have in there?
00:09:04Matching hats or something?
00:09:06Ah!
00:09:08I mean, they come for the food, but they stay for the flair.
00:09:12Yeah.
00:09:24Oh, my God.
00:09:54Wow.
00:10:25Ow.
00:10:27Ow.
00:10:55Oh.
00:11:10Oh, man.
00:11:20Ah!
00:11:22Ah!
00:11:24Ha ha.
00:11:27Perfect.
00:11:53Oh, my God.
00:11:56Oh.
00:12:21Hey, there.
00:12:22Do you need a hand?
00:12:24Um, yeah.
00:12:26Do you have any of that stuff that they use to fill holes in the wall?
00:12:31Drywall putty?
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:34Right here.
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:36You doing some renos?
00:12:37Yeah, sort of.
00:12:38Thanks for this.
00:12:40Do you have any sandpaper or a scraper?
00:12:45You're gonna need that if you're fixing holes or anything.
00:12:49Uh, yeah.
00:12:52We have paint here, too.
00:12:53Decent selection these days.
00:12:55Thanks to the house flipping craze.
00:12:59I'm not flipping houses.
00:13:01Sorry, I just couldn't help but notice that you were perusing the real estate section over there.
00:13:08Yeah, well, I was just curious.
00:13:10Right.
00:13:11Of course.
00:13:12He's not giving you a hard time, is he?
00:13:14Uh.
00:13:18No, it's fine.
00:13:22Perfect.
00:13:23So, what brings you to Sherbrooke Falls?
00:13:26I'm staying at my Nana's cabin for a couple weeks.
00:13:29Getting some work done.
00:13:30Great.
00:13:31Who's your Nana?
00:13:32Rosslyn Moore.
00:13:34Oh, I read her obituary in the paper the other day.
00:13:37I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:13:40Did you know her well?
00:13:42In passing.
00:13:43You know, when you're one of the only stores in town, you get on a first name basis with people pretty quickly.
00:13:48And Cole, actually, he, um, um, he, he used to love her blueberry scones that she used to hand out to all of her neighbors.
00:13:58He tried them once and hasn't stopped talking about them since.
00:14:03She was an incredible baker.
00:14:06Mm, well, if you decide to whip them up while you're here.
00:14:09I will let you know.
00:14:12Packed up.
00:14:13Okay, so, did you get everything you need?
00:14:17Um, some white paint.
00:14:20Yeah, sure.
00:14:21Hey, Cole, why don't you grab her some paint?
00:14:24Eggshell finish work for you?
00:14:26It's eggshell.
00:14:29Alright, so, all together we've got...
00:14:355340.
00:14:36Okay, perfect.
00:14:38That's fine.
00:14:39Thank you so much.
00:14:42Need a hand bringing the paint you don't need out to your car?
00:14:46No.
00:14:48I'm fine.
00:14:51See you around.
00:14:59What's with the grin?
00:15:00Nothing.
00:15:02I forgot to ask you to bring back my roasting pan, though.
00:15:06I left it at your place last Sunday night and Aaron needs it for pot roast.
00:15:11Tonight.
00:15:13You want me to go get it right now?
00:15:15Yes.
00:15:16Please?
00:15:18Fine, but you still owe me a coffee.
00:15:20Yeah, it'll be ready when you get back.
00:15:22Okay.
00:15:52Oh, come on.
00:16:06Come on.
00:16:19Come on, then.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:36Okay.
00:17:01What are you doing here?
00:17:03I live here.
00:17:06Ah.
00:17:10You live in that house?
00:17:11Yeah, for the last five years.
00:17:13The real question is, what are you doing breaking into Mrs. Moore's place?
00:17:17Well, I'm not breaking in.
00:17:18Mrs. Moore is my grandmother.
00:17:20Or was my grandmother.
00:17:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:17:26You know what?
00:17:27Let's start over.
00:17:28I'm Hannah.
00:17:29Moore.
00:17:30Cool walker.
00:17:31Nice to meet you.
00:17:32Now, I can either give you a little boost, or I can help you with the front door if you'd like.
00:17:36Dealer's choice.
00:17:37Oh.
00:17:38Well, a door would be nice.
00:17:48So, you, um, work at the store?
00:17:52Uh, I own it with my sister, Danielle.
00:17:54Oh.
00:17:55It used to belong to our parents, but, uh, they're retired now.
00:17:58That's nice.
00:17:59What do you do outside of not flipping houses?
00:18:02I work at a lifestyle magazine.
00:18:04Oh, you're a writer.
00:18:05Uh, well, if you've ever taken a, which pasta noodle are you, quiz, then, yeah, I probably wrote it.
00:18:15Um, but I'm actually working on something new.
00:18:18It's my first big gig.
00:18:20That's awesome.
00:18:21Yeah.
00:18:22Should we give it a whirl?
00:18:24Oh, yes, please.
00:18:25Go for it.
00:18:37Okay, well, um, thank, thank you very much for all your help today.
00:18:43You're welcome.
00:18:44I guess I'll see you around.
00:18:45See you around.
00:18:59Bye.
00:19:27Thank you so much.
00:19:29And, there you go.
00:19:31Enjoy.
00:19:37I just sold another set of mugs now.
00:19:39I don't want to say I told you so, but...
00:19:41Very funny.
00:19:44I had to seize the moment.
00:19:45How do you manage to turn every conversation into a setup?
00:19:48I don't know.
00:19:49It's a gift.
00:19:51Don't you have anything better to do?
00:19:52Yeah, I do.
00:19:53That's why you should be honored that I'm so focused on you.
00:19:56Well, what did I say about meddling?
00:19:58Oh, what you got you pulled into now?
00:20:00Nothing.
00:20:01Because I won't bite.
00:20:02Atta boy.
00:20:03But he should.
00:20:04Okay, I have some restocking to do.
00:20:05I'll see you later.
00:20:06You bet.
00:20:07Okay, bye.
00:20:08Love you, too.
00:20:09Hey, I know you guys have a special thing going on between the two of you,
00:20:12but maybe it's time you let him be.
00:20:14Is wanting him to be happy really such a bad thing?
00:20:17No, but maybe he should come to it on his own terms, you know?
00:20:24Okay, yeah, you're right.
00:20:26It does happen.
00:20:28On occasion.
00:20:30Okay.
00:20:31You ready to go?
00:20:32Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to close up here, and I'll meet you outside.
00:20:36Sounds good.
00:20:37Hey, I love you.
00:20:39I love you, too.
00:20:49It was so humiliating.
00:20:51I mean, I was basically halfway through the window, which, by the way, I was never going to fit through.
00:20:55That does sound like you.
00:20:59I know.
00:21:00I mean, it was infuriating, especially after how smug he had been at the store.
00:21:04What do you mean by smug?
00:21:05Well, he assumed I knew nothing about basic home repair.
00:21:09Well, to be fair, you don't really.
00:21:14Excuse me.
00:21:15I have lived in New York City since I was 17.
00:21:17Yeah, which means you're strong as an ox,
00:21:19but you're on the phone with the building manager any time there's a problem.
00:21:23Now, let's get to the most important part.
00:21:25Is he cute?
00:21:27No.
00:21:28Is he married?
00:21:29See, why would you even ask that? Because I'm definitely not going to.
00:21:32Interview him for the article?
00:21:34Oh, well, no, I would rather not.
00:21:38Because you like him.
00:21:41Okay, I gotta go. There's, like, an insane amount of dust in here.
00:21:45Yeah, me too. I'm meeting Simon for drinks.
00:21:47Oh, Simon, huh? Sounds like it's going well.
00:21:51Don't jinx it, okay?
00:21:53I'm going to call you during the week to check in.
00:21:55I want an update on those interviews.
00:21:57Okay, you got it.
00:21:59Have fun.
00:22:01Ciao.
00:22:09Hi. I was wondering if someone could come over and assess my property.
00:22:25Hi.
00:22:42Hi.
00:22:43Hey.
00:22:44Danielle, right?
00:22:46Yes. Yeah, good morning.
00:22:48I'm sorry to just show up like this, not interrupting.
00:22:50Um, no, no, not at all.
00:22:53This is Aaron from Wellingford Real Estate. Also married to this one.
00:22:57Okay, Aaron, nice to meet you.
00:22:59Likewise.
00:23:00When he told me you called, I figured I would just come make the introduction.
00:23:03Cool. Well, do you guys want to come in? I was just about to make some coffee.
00:23:07Love some.
00:23:08Okay. Come on in.
00:23:13Sorry about the mess. I promise when we have it listed, it will be a spick and span.
00:23:18Not a problem.
00:23:19It is so beautiful.
00:23:21Well, thank you.
00:23:23My grandfather was actually a carpenter. He built it for my grandma back in the day.
00:23:27Were you close with him?
00:23:28Danny.
00:23:30No, it's okay.
00:23:34Yeah, I was.
00:23:36Yeah, they were sort of like a second set of parents to me.
00:23:39Is that them there?
00:23:41Yeah, that's them.
00:23:44I feel like I recognize him.
00:23:46Did he used to drive one of those really huge cars from the 60s?
00:23:49Yeah, the Beast.
00:23:52Oh my God, he loved that car.
00:23:54The thing was so loud, you could hear it coming from 20 miles away.
00:23:58Are these your family members here too?
00:24:00No, those are people that I'm interviewing for the article that I'm writing.
00:24:06You're a writer?
00:24:08Yeah, I work at Fifth and Madison Magazine.
00:24:10What? That is so cool. We saw that at the store. What's the article?
00:24:16Well, it's actually an investigative piece on marriage.
00:24:20Yeah, I'm interviewing all kinds of folks. Serial bachelors, married people.
00:24:24I'm just trying to get a full range of perspectives.
00:24:27You know, asking if people think marriage is actually worth it in this day and age.
00:24:32That sounds really juicy.
00:24:36Hey, um, do you guys know anybody who may be interested in getting interviewed for the article?
00:24:42You could interview us.
00:24:43No, no thanks.
00:24:44Don't be so shy.
00:24:45I'm not shy. I'm just busy.
00:24:48Hey, if you change your mind, let me know. And if you think of anyone else.
00:24:52Oh, I'm on it.
00:24:54Well, shall we take a look around?
00:24:56Yeah, what's upstairs?
00:24:58Oh, um, okay.
00:25:04So they're all antiques?
00:25:06Most of them, I think. It's kind of over the years.
00:25:10Overall, the place looks good.
00:25:13But...
00:25:14You could use some upgrades if you want to get top dollar.
00:25:17Like we talk in big renovations, or...
00:25:19I suggest cleaning the gutters, then fixing the front door. Boosting the overall curb appeal.
00:25:24You know, add some evergreen plants on the porch. Stuff like that.
00:25:27Then inside, give it a good clean. Some fresh paint. Fix those shelves if you can.
00:25:32Just stuff to make it...
00:25:33Function on a basic level?
00:25:37Alright, well, I'm on it.
00:25:39I'm on it.
00:25:40Yeah, no more breaking in through the windows for you.
00:25:44Oh, yeah. So Cole told you guys about that, didn't he?
00:25:48He did, yeah.
00:25:50You know, come to think of it, Cole's pretty handy.
00:25:53He does all the repairs at the store. Electrical, plumbing, all of it.
00:25:57He could probably help you out.
00:25:59No. I mean, I'm sure I can figure it out.
00:26:02But you're so busy with the article.
00:26:04And he'd be happy to do it.
00:26:06Let me... I'll just go ask him.
00:26:08Yeah, he's probably...
00:26:09Cole!
00:26:10You really do... It's fine.
00:26:12Cole!
00:26:13Cole!
00:26:14Sorry.
00:26:17What's going on?
00:26:18Hannah needs help fixing up her cabin, and I told her you know everything.
00:26:22Even though it annoys me to no end to say it.
00:26:24Planning on selling it?
00:26:25Potentially. I'm not sure yet.
00:26:27Aaron says it needs some repairs, and Hannah's got a lot on her plate.
00:26:31She's a writer.
00:26:32Oh, well, I still have the store to look after.
00:26:34And I'm really not sure I'm the right person for the job.
00:26:37See, I totally understand. He's busy.
00:26:40No, I make his schedule. He's not that busy.
00:26:43You're not that busy?
00:26:46You said you had other contractors in mind?
00:26:48Uh, well, there's Mr. Collins. He's...
00:26:50Uh, Mr. Collins is 83 years old.
00:26:53Well, what about Ron?
00:26:54Ron's a dad.
00:26:55Oh, he's not that bad.
00:26:56You know the kind of mechanic who tells you you need a new engine when all you really needed was an oil change?
00:27:01Well, that wouldn't be good.
00:27:04So you'll do it then?
00:27:07We could probably work something out if that's what you want.
00:27:13You know, I think I could really use your help.
00:27:16All right then.
00:27:18Excellent.
00:27:20And hey, listen, if you need any design inspo or...
00:27:24You just give me a call.
00:27:25There's some great stores in town.
00:27:27There's this cute one on the Main Strip that just sells the cutest stuff.
00:27:33Ours.
00:27:37Okay.
00:28:07Mmm.
00:28:26Oh my God.
00:28:38Hi.
00:28:39Hi.
00:28:40Hey, what are you doing?
00:28:42Oh, I'm just fixing your door.
00:28:45It looks like the trim is coming loose, so water and ice are probably getting in the frame and warping the boards.
00:28:50That's why the door's sticking.
00:28:52I see.
00:28:53But I may have to tackle some of this from the inside if that's okay.
00:28:57You don't have to do that right now. You're probably really busy.
00:28:59Oh, no, it's no problem. I'm here. I've got my supply, so...
00:29:04Or I can just come back another time.
00:29:07No, you know what? It's okay.
00:29:09Come in. Come in. Come on in.
00:29:10Oh.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:12Come in, come in.
00:29:15Whoa.
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:20Yeah, I just closed the door and the whole thing sort of crumbled like a shortbread cookie.
00:29:28Well, you can add this to the list, too, if you want.
00:29:35I see why Danielle hires you out to every stranger in town.
00:29:39What's going on in here?
00:29:41Oh, I'm making my Nana's scones.
00:29:45Oh, yeah? She made me a batch when I moved in all those years ago.
00:29:49I didn't know her all that well, but I do remember these being legendary.
00:29:53Okay, well, don't get your hopes up, because I haven't made them in years.
00:29:56Oh, you don't bake much in New York?
00:29:58No, not anymore. I used to do it all the time as a kid with my Nana.
00:30:02It was kind of her thing, but I haven't bought a bag of flour in years, so hence the massacre.
00:30:10Well, no matter how it turns out, I'll eat them. I'm game for any kind of dessert.
00:30:16Cake, pie, trifle, you name it.
00:30:20Trifle, huh? You don't hear that every day.
00:30:22Oh, yeah. It's the most underrated dessert, if you ask me.
00:30:24Cookies, custard, fruit, it's good stuff.
00:30:28Well, even if they turn out like hockey pucks, it's still a great distraction.
00:30:33From work? Danielle says that you're writing an article, something about is marriage still worth it?
00:30:39Yeah, pretty much. It's my first big shot at the magazine, and if I do really well, then it might mean a permanent promotion.
00:30:48And if not, I'm going to be cubicle-bound for the foreseeable future and have really disappointed my friend.
00:30:54Well, I'm sure you'll pull it off.
00:30:59Hey, you don't happen to know any married couples that might let me interview them for the article, do you?
00:31:03Maybe even you.
00:31:07Oh, I'm not married.
00:31:10But my parents, they've got that whole storybook romance thing going on, 40 years and counting.
00:31:16Wow, unicorns do exist.
00:31:20You could ask them. They're probably at the store.
00:31:22We could put in an order for some supplies for all this while we're at it.
00:31:27Yeah, okay, that would be great.
00:31:30Confident the kids have discovered.
00:31:32Yeah, I think it would be nice for the 40th anniversary in the store. They're doing a great job.
00:31:36You know, Danny, I like this display, but I think you should add a few more items, you know, up the cross-merchandising potential.
00:31:43Dad, old habits die hard, honey.
00:31:47All right, all right. Okay, we got it, we got it.
00:31:51Dad, you reorganized the store yet?
00:31:53Oh, hey, how you doing?
00:31:54Hi, honey.
00:31:55Mom, Dad, this is Hannah. She's Rosalyn Moore's granddaughter.
00:31:58Oh, the writer. Danny said that you just moved in next door to Cole.
00:32:03Uh, yeah, temporarily.
00:32:05Welcome to Sherbrooke Falls, Hannah.
00:32:07Thank you. It's a really lovely spot.
00:32:10Now, let us know if you need anything, okay?
00:32:13Actually, there was something.
00:32:15I was sort of wondering if I could interview you guys for an article that I'm working on.
00:32:20I'm speaking to a bunch of people getting their personal opinion on marriage,
00:32:24and Cole here told me that you two are celebrating your 40th anniversary this week.
00:32:3140th anniversary this weekend?
00:32:33We are.
00:32:34Yes, yes, this is perfect. Oh, you've got to do it.
00:32:37Oh, well, you don't have to.
00:32:39I've always wanted to be in a magazine.
00:32:41What do you think, Frank?
00:32:43Yeah, we'd be honored.
00:32:44Wait, is tomorrow too soon?
00:32:46Uh, tomorrow's the winter picnic, sweetie.
00:32:49Yeah, but Hannah should come.
00:32:51No, I don't want to impose.
00:32:53Oh, not at all. We would love to have you.
00:32:56Okay, yeah. That sounds like fun. Count me in.
00:33:00Excellent. And, uh, Cole here can give you a ride over.
00:33:05Sure, sounds good.
00:33:07Uh, no, if you'll excuse us, we have some work to do.
00:33:10Right.
00:33:11This way.
00:33:16Thank you so much. Your family seems amazing.
00:33:20You're welcome.
00:33:21Thank you so much. Your family seems amazing.
00:33:24You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out.
00:33:26Uh, here, just take a look.
00:33:28So, I just finished a build-in for another client in this color.
00:33:31What do you think for the shelves?
00:33:33I like this one.
00:33:35You're right. Timeless is better. Suits you.
00:33:40Good. Um, anyway, I'll just call it in.
00:33:43Oh, I can order it online if that's easier.
00:33:46Well, we're kind of old school.
00:33:48The website doesn't let you do that.
00:33:52Wow.
00:33:53I know. Dani's been getting on my case about updating it, but I don't even know where to start.
00:33:58Well, maybe I can help.
00:34:01I had to learn a lot about website design when I was starting out as a freelance writer.
00:34:06Really?
00:34:07Yeah. Do you mind if I take a look?
00:34:09That would be awesome. Thank you. You can be my guest.
00:34:13Aww, that's a cute picture.
00:34:19Do you guys have another sister?
00:34:23No, um, that's Olivia, my wife.
00:34:31Oh.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:33I'm sorry. I thought you weren't married.
00:34:37No, I'm not. At least, not anymore.
00:34:44She passed away a few years ago.
00:34:46Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:34:49Yeah, thanks.
00:34:55Um, is that all you need from me?
00:34:57Yeah, I think so.
00:34:59Okay, I'll head out. Thank you.
00:35:07Nice to meet you guys.
00:35:14What happened?
00:35:16Nothing.
00:35:24Well, don't look at me.
00:35:38You know, I could probably find my way there. You don't have to drive me.
00:35:44Don't worry about it. Come on, hop in.
00:35:47I bet my mom has got prime seats and hot chocolate already waiting for you.
00:35:53Oh, no, no, no. I don't want to intrude.
00:35:56It's just a ride, Hannah.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:08Oh, my God.
00:36:23Yeah, it's a bit sketchy, but it's interesting.
00:36:25It's cool. Okay, okay.
00:36:27Well, here we are.
00:36:30I know it's probably not what you're used to in New York, but...
00:36:33Oh, no, it's perfect, actually.
00:36:36I used to build campfires with my grandpa in the summers.
00:36:39It's really bringing me back.
00:36:42He was a scout leader.
00:36:44Oh, I see.
00:36:46So if I ever get lost in the woods, I'll know who to call.
00:36:49Oh, yeah, you need somebody to read a compass or build a campfire or sing a jingle, then I'm your girl.
00:36:56But I'm sure you don't really need help with that kind of thing.
00:36:59Well, what if I still want to see your skills in action?
00:37:03Oh, okay, so you're challenging me.
00:37:05Oh, maybe.
00:37:10All right.
00:37:15First, you got to start with the base.
00:37:20See, some people prefer this tent shape, but this is much sturdier.
00:37:27It's like a chimney.
00:37:29It's called the log cabin lay.
00:37:31Oh, she even remembered the name.
00:37:39Two more logs on top.
00:37:44And then...
00:37:47Light the match.
00:37:51And...
00:37:54Voila.
00:37:57Geez, you're a baker, a Girl Scout, a web designer, a writer.
00:38:04What other random tricks do you have up your sleeve?
00:38:07I also cross-country ski.
00:38:10Oh.
00:38:11Is that random enough for you?
00:38:12Yeah, it's up there.
00:38:14Hey, Anna, you made it.
00:38:17Hey, how are you?
00:38:20Hey, Anna, you made it.
00:38:22Hey, hi, Mrs. Walker.
00:38:24So great to see you. And you two, I suppose.
00:38:27Hi, Mom.
00:38:28Hot cocoa.
00:38:29Hi.
00:38:30My secret recipe.
00:38:32Oh, yes, please.
00:38:34Listen, I know that you're really busy, so we can do this whenever.
00:38:37Oh, no, it's great. We can do it now.
00:38:40Frank.
00:38:41Coming.
00:38:42I swear, it's like herding cows with him sometimes.
00:38:47Oh, thank you guys so much for agreeing to do this. I really appreciate it.
00:38:52Oh, sure. We're happy to.
00:38:55Do you mind if I record it?
00:38:57No, go ahead.
00:39:01All right. So...
00:39:04I usually start by asking how you two met and how you got to know each other.
00:39:10Well, I met my Kimmy at the local fair.
00:39:13She was new to town. I'd seen her at school, but I never had the courage to talk to her.
00:39:19Until we were both stuck in the funhouse.
00:39:23You know those rooms with mirrors and clowns and ball pits that they have at local fairs?
00:39:28Oh, yeah.
00:39:29Well, we were both trying to find our way out, but we couldn't.
00:39:33And, well, you know, the hallways were all leading back to the same spot.
00:39:37I'd never been so lost or embarrassed in my life.
00:39:41Well, I turn around the corner and suddenly, there she is.
00:39:45Well, twelve of her, actually.
00:39:48Thanks to all the mirrors.
00:39:51Most beautiful sight I ever saw.
00:39:54And I was never so relieved to see a person.
00:39:57Any person.
00:39:59I latched on to Frank.
00:40:01We left together and we've been joined at the hip ever since.
00:40:06Did you know right then you were going to marry him?
00:40:09Honestly? No.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:13So, you're not a believer in love at first sight?
00:40:16Yeah, I am. But it took a while to get her on board.
00:40:19Well, I happen to believe that love is more than just a feeling.
00:40:24It's a commitment that you make every day.
00:40:27Is that what makes it last?
00:40:30In your opinion?
00:40:33Yep. You've got to wake up every morning and decide to choose that person.
00:40:39Do what you can for them.
00:40:41Forgive them when you have to.
00:40:43Love them unequivocally.
00:40:45And have fun whenever you can.
00:40:47The fun part's really important.
00:40:51So, was there ever a time where you two thought it might be easier to just break up?
00:41:01No.
00:41:03Because life is never easy anyway, whether you're married or not.
00:41:09I think marriage is like a sailboat.
00:41:13Here we go.
00:41:15Sometimes it's calm waters and it's all smooth sailing.
00:41:19Then sometimes you get caught in a nasty storm.
00:41:22And when you do, you feel like one of them ropes that's being stretched to its limits
00:41:28and the wind is ripping at your sails.
00:41:32Most people are searching for a means to end that tension.
00:41:37And they see cutting off their spouses as a way to do so.
00:41:43But they may not understand that what they might be doing is cutting off their anchor instead of their sails.
00:41:54Our kids know that one off by heart, right Cole?
00:41:56Yeah.
00:41:57Well, I don't blame you Frank.
00:42:01It's a good one.
00:42:03I think our readers are really going to like it.
00:42:06Did all the other couples you interview wax this poetic?
00:42:11No.
00:42:13I've interviewed people who prefer the single life too.
00:42:17I'm trying to get both perspectives.
00:42:19Then what about you?
00:42:21What side are you on?
00:42:24Um, I'm on the fence.
00:42:30I was engaged for a little while and now it's just me and I think that's pretty great too.
00:42:43You know, there's room in the world for all kinds of folks.
00:42:46Exactly.
00:42:48Hey, you should come and have Sunday dinner at Cole's.
00:42:53We're celebrating our anniversary.
00:42:55Oh, I don't want to impose.
00:42:57Oh no, nonsense. We'd love to have you.
00:42:59No mom, don't pressure her.
00:43:01She doesn't have to come if she doesn't want to.
00:43:03I'm not pressuring her.
00:43:05I'm just asking her.
00:43:06Okay, yeah.
00:43:08Yeah, you know what, I've got so much work to do this weekend.
00:43:11But thank you so much for the invite.
00:43:14Well, the offer stands.
00:43:16And if you change your mind, great.
00:43:19Hey, anyway, I want to introduce you to a donut over here.
00:43:24With cinnamon, you're going to love it.
00:43:26Got a sweet too?
00:43:27Yes, I do. Do you have a choice?
00:43:30Ah, well, you know.
00:43:32If you don't have one, you will have to eat this one.
00:43:34I will have to.
00:43:45Hey, can I give you a hand?
00:44:13Yeah, thank you.
00:44:18Okay.
00:44:27Is it okay?
00:44:28Great.
00:44:31It's freezing out, huh?
00:44:33Yeah.
00:44:37Earlier, I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't come for dinner.
00:44:43I mean, you absolutely should if you want to.
00:44:46That's a bit weird though, right?
00:44:48Oh, man.
00:44:50I'm really sorry.
00:44:52It's just...
00:44:56We haven't had a guest for Sunday dinner since Olivia died.
00:45:02Oh.
00:45:04And I hadn't even thought about that fact until they invited you and then...
00:45:10I was like a deer in the headlights, you know?
00:45:12Yeah, I can imagine.
00:45:15At the end of the day though, it's just dinner.
00:45:18People sitting around a table and sharing food and...
00:45:21Honestly, it would be great if you came.
00:45:27I don't know, um...
00:45:28Danielle and Aaron will be there.
00:45:30It'll be fun, I promise.
00:45:34Can I think about it?
00:45:35Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:38Okay, well...
00:45:40Good night.
00:45:41Oh, good night.
00:45:42Good night.
00:45:54Is that the last of them?
00:46:02Yep.
00:46:04I got it handed to you.
00:46:07You were right about those.
00:46:09Wait, what's wrong?
00:46:11What do you mean? Nothing.
00:46:13You just said I was right about something.
00:46:14Oh, yeah, well...
00:46:16Give credit where credit is due and all that.
00:46:22You're upset about something.
00:46:23No, I'm not. I just...
00:46:26Is this about the Sunday dinner freakout?
00:46:29Mom called and told me immediately.
00:46:32I didn't freak out. It just took me by surprise.
00:46:35Whatever you say.
00:46:37But the fact that you feel bad about it, that's interesting.
00:46:40I feel bad for making our neighbor feel unwelcome, that's all.
00:46:44So apologize.
00:46:45I did.
00:46:46So apologize better.
00:46:47Okay, how?
00:46:49I don't know. Do something nice for her.
00:46:51Maybe take her out to lunch.
00:46:52I don't know. Lunch kind of feels like a date.
00:46:54Okay, great.
00:46:55Oh, Danny.
00:46:57Fine, I'm sure you will come up with something.
00:47:21Hi.
00:47:31Hey, is it a bad time?
00:47:32Uh, nope. Come on in.
00:47:34I thought I'd put these shelves up once and for all.
00:47:41Do you need some help?
00:47:43Yeah, sure.
00:47:45I just need to get these, all these brackets here.
00:47:50All right.
00:47:52Just angle that in, just line it up off the back.
00:47:57Perfect.
00:48:00A couple screws and we are done.
00:48:03Okay, I will hold it steady.
00:48:05Oh, perfect.
00:48:15And now this side.
00:48:21Sorry, it's an awkward angle here.
00:48:35And we're done.
00:48:39I was actually going to go get some air.
00:48:41Oh yeah, same.
00:48:44I know this nice trail, we could go for a hike.
00:48:48How about something a little more fun?
00:48:51All right.
00:48:53You're on.
00:49:03It's been a while since I've done this.
00:49:04Yeah, not as good as I was when I was six, but...
00:49:09So, uh, how's the article coming?
00:49:12Um, slowly.
00:49:14Don't be too hard on yourself.
00:49:16Yeah, well, I just don't want to disappoint your parents.
00:49:19I'm sure you won't.
00:49:22I don't know.
00:49:23It's funny, I usually don't get so worried about what people think, but...
00:49:27I just want to do right by them and their relationship, you know?
00:49:29They're pretty inspiring.
00:49:32Yeah, they definitely set the bar high.
00:49:34What about your parents, what are they like?
00:49:36Um, they're good people, but their relationship is different.
00:49:41I think they're more friends than anything.
00:49:43That part's important.
00:49:44Yeah, but what if that's all you have?
00:49:46I mean, when I was a kid I remember them being so much more affectionate, and...
00:49:52Yeah, well, I guess things are bound to change, right?
00:49:57Is that what happened with your fiancé?
00:49:59I don't know.
00:50:00I guess I just woke up one day and realized we were coexisting.
00:50:03I remember thinking, is this it?
00:50:06I mean, isn't it supposed to be better?
00:50:10I don't know, am I being crazy?
00:50:11You're not crazy.
00:50:13Life's short.
00:50:15Don't settle.
00:50:18How did you know Olivia was the one?
00:50:22I don't remember one exact moment.
00:50:25I just knew that coming home to her was always the best part of my day.
00:50:30Must be really hard.
00:50:33You'll get used to it.
00:50:37Think you'll ever get married again?
00:50:40I don't know.
00:50:41Never say never.
00:50:43But sometimes I wonder if it's possible for me to get that lucky again.
00:50:48What about you?
00:50:49Ever think you'll take the plunge?
00:50:51I doubt it.
00:50:54Is that because you think it'll just fizzle out?
00:50:58Well, statistically you've got a 50-50 shot at making it.
00:51:01Love's a lot more complicated than statistics.
00:51:06It's Sunday dinner.
00:51:09You should come.
00:51:10I want you to come.
00:51:12I'm making this big feast at my place, and I'm pretty sure my mom would bring you leftovers anyway,
00:51:17so you might as well enjoy it while it's hot, right?
00:51:22Well, I guess I do have to take their picture for the article.
00:51:25Exactly.
00:51:26You can do it there.
00:51:27Two birds with one stone.
00:51:33Okay, but only if I'm allowed to bring dessert.
00:51:37Perfect.
00:51:39Okay, then.
00:52:04Hey.
00:52:05Hi.
00:52:06Finally.
00:52:07How are you?
00:52:09Confused?
00:52:10About the article?
00:52:12I thought you found a couple.
00:52:13No, I did.
00:52:14I did.
00:52:15I just, um, I'm just still struggling.
00:52:18There are so many thoughts.
00:52:20You fell for the hot neighbor, didn't you?
00:52:22What? No.
00:52:23Hannah?
00:52:24Maybe.
00:52:27Oh, boy.
00:52:28Yeah, I know.
00:52:29It's a disaster.
00:52:30Why? Because he's a widower?
00:52:32No.
00:52:33Well, maybe.
00:52:35I don't know.
00:52:36I just, there's so much to consider.
00:52:38I mean, why do I always do this to myself?
00:52:40Why am I always choosing unavailable men?
00:52:43Because you self-sabotage?
00:52:45Being alone is your comfort zone.
00:52:48That's what he said.
00:52:49He said that?
00:52:51Well, I mean, not in so many words, but yeah.
00:52:54Sounds like he's clearly paying attention.
00:52:57Okay, yeah, but his wife?
00:53:00Well, just because he's a widower doesn't mean, you know, he's unavailable.
00:53:04Sounds like he could be ready to move on.
00:53:06And how do I know?
00:53:08You ask?
00:53:10Are you crazy?
00:53:12Okay, well, Hannah, if you're not going to put yourself out there, maybe you should write about it.
00:53:16Carmen, I can't do that without his permission.
00:53:19Well, I don't mean to publish.
00:53:21I just mean for you to sort through your thoughts.
00:53:24Writing's always been how you process things.
00:53:29It feels weird.
00:53:30It's just to get things flowing again.
00:53:32It'll be good for the article.
00:53:53Hello?
00:53:54Hi, I'm here.
00:53:56Hi, hi, hi.
00:53:57Sorry, we're early.
00:54:00Mom told me that Hannah said that a photographer is coming tonight to take a picture of them,
00:54:04and I just, I wanted to make sure your place was in order, but geez, this is spotless.
00:54:10Did you sweep?
00:54:12Dani, let the man be.
00:54:14Do you guys want anything to drink?
00:54:16Yeah, I'll take one.
00:54:17What is he making?
00:54:19Abe.
00:54:20This is impressive.
00:54:21Look at this.
00:54:22All right.
00:54:24Here you are.
00:54:26And a sparkling water for the princess.
00:54:30You tucked in your shirt.
00:54:32Yeah, it's Sunday dinner.
00:54:35I've seen you eat dinner with sawdust in your hair.
00:54:37I am sorry in advance.
00:54:40I knew it.
00:54:41Calm down.
00:54:42He's not even denying it.
00:54:43This is amazing.
00:54:44This is so amazing.
00:54:45Right, babe?
00:54:46Yeah, man.
00:54:47Whatever makes you happy.
00:54:48It's just a friendly dinner, you guys.
00:54:50Knock, knock.
00:54:51We're here.
00:54:52Oh, hey.
00:54:53Mom, you look gorgeous.
00:54:55Doesn't she?
00:54:56Oh, thank you.
00:54:57A little bubbly, huh?
00:54:59Thank you, Mom.
00:55:00I just need to go outside to get some more firewood.
00:55:05I'll be right back.
00:55:11What's going on?
00:55:13Uh...
00:55:24What do you got there?
00:55:26A trifle.
00:55:27Some guy told me it was pretty good stuff.
00:55:29You don't mind if we skip the dinner part and just go right to that, do you?
00:55:33Whatever you want.
00:55:35Hey, Dad, did you get the new smoker up and running or what?
00:55:38Oh, yeah.
00:55:39We used it last week.
00:55:40It turned out great.
00:55:42Well, you do know that every meal that he cooks from now on is going to be smoked.
00:55:45Unfortunately, yes.
00:55:47But it's so hard to say no because he's so enthusiastic.
00:55:51You know, we've got some space in the backyard.
00:55:54No, absolutely not.
00:55:55No, if you spend our hot tub savings on a meat smoker, I swear.
00:55:59Okay, okay.
00:56:00Where this is...
00:56:02Okay.
00:56:03Do all couples you interview bicker like this?
00:56:06Oh, I wouldn't call it bickering.
00:56:09I would call it healthy debate.
00:56:11Oh, okay.
00:56:12You know, I read something that said it was a sign of a good marriage.
00:56:16Couples that can disagree, forgive, and move on easily.
00:56:19Oh, well then you and Aaron have the healthiest marriage of all time.
00:56:24No, in all seriousness, you guys seem to have it pretty figured out.
00:56:28I've interviewed a lot of couples in our generation who are having a really hard time with marriage.
00:56:34You know, between the rising cost of living and the new stressors at work that we experience in our generation that just didn't exist when our parents got married.
00:56:42Do you think it's harder to have a successful marriage nowadays?
00:56:46Well, I don't know. I'm not married, but...
00:56:49What do you guys think?
00:56:51I...
00:56:53I think we're not the first generation to have hardships.
00:56:57Granted, there's been some unprecedented challenges lately.
00:57:01No, I think humans are hardwired for love, no matter what the state of the world is.
00:57:07Well, there are some people that think love isn't enough to make a marriage work.
00:57:11Oh, sure it is.
00:57:13Sure it is. You just have to make sure you fall in love with the right person.
00:57:16But how do you know it's the right person?
00:57:19Well, I...
00:57:22This is not scientific or anything, but I would say...
00:57:26If that person makes you feel like home.
00:57:30Anyway, it looks like you got an interview out of us after all.
00:57:33And Aaron didn't have to say a word!
00:57:38Well, I mean, that was great. Do you mind if I use some of that?
00:57:41Oh, I would be honored.
00:57:42Yeah.
00:57:43Um, who's up for dessert?
00:57:45Oh, me.
00:57:46No, no, no, I get it, I get it. Sit, sit, sit.
00:57:48Um, coffee, anyone?
00:57:49Oh, always, honey.
00:57:51Just have one, Frank. You know, you'll be up till 3 a.m.
00:57:54That's what naps are for, my dear.
00:57:58So, Hannah, how is the cabin renovations coming along?
00:58:02Aaron been able to list it yet?
00:58:04Uh, no, not yet.
00:58:06Well, I do have someone interested when you're ready.
00:58:09It's good to know.
00:58:12Look at this magical thing.
00:58:15Oh, my gosh, trifle. That is Cole's favorite.
00:58:18Did you make that?
00:58:20I did, yeah.
00:58:21Well, now.
00:58:23So, who wants some?
00:58:26Yes, please.
00:58:27Let me see.
00:58:28Yes.
00:58:29This is a beautiful work of art.
00:58:32I'll just have that one.
00:58:35Okay.
00:58:36Okay.
00:58:37If you grab this wide, and then grab some candles in the kitchen.
00:58:41Okay.
00:58:45Thank you so much for this.
00:58:47I think my parents are really enjoying all the reminiscing.
00:58:50My mom must have braided her hair like five times in there.
00:58:53Are you kidding? It's my pleasure.
00:58:55Your family, they're, they're incredible people.
00:58:59I think they really like you, too.
00:59:03So, how do I look?
00:59:05Perfect.
00:59:07So, where do we sit?
00:59:08Um, center of the couch would be great.
00:59:11Hey, Danielle, Aaron, why don't you guys hop in here, too?
00:59:15Really?
00:59:16Yes, grab a seat.
00:59:18How's my hair?
00:59:19Oh, you look great.
00:59:20Yeah, don't just say that.
00:59:21I'm not. You look fantastic.
00:59:23Uh, if it's...
00:59:25I don't want to mess everything up, but maybe we could get one with me, too, for the website.
00:59:30The website?
00:59:31Yeah, Anna agreed to help give it a facelift.
00:59:34Yeah, but, I mean, we could use the old photo, too.
00:59:37No, no, no. I think a new photo's a great idea.
00:59:40Let's do it.
00:59:41Okay. All right. Hop in.
00:59:42Thank you so much, Anna. That's incredibly nice of you.
00:59:45Are you kidding? You guys have done so much for me, it's the least I can do.
00:59:49Okay, here we go, guys.
00:59:51Big smiles.
00:59:52Cheers!
00:59:55Beautiful.
00:59:56I mean, I don't think it's going to get better. You get out of there.
01:00:00Beautiful.
01:00:01Danielle, Aaron, can you guys look at each other?
01:00:03Mm-hmm.
01:00:04That's beautiful. Love it.
01:00:06Happy anniversary!
01:00:08Happy anniversary!
01:00:11I can't believe your dad ate most of this trifle. It's seriously impressive.
01:00:15Oh, you know how they met at the fair?
01:00:16Well, the part that he left out was that he had just won a hot dog eating contest, like, 20 minutes before he went into the funhouse.
01:00:22Oh.
01:00:23Luckily, for my mom, he can hold his food. Otherwise, Danny and I might not even exist.
01:00:26Okay, well, that's an important detail I promise not to include in the article.
01:00:30Oh, no, you should. My mom would laugh.
01:00:33Thanks for having me tonight. I hope it wasn't too weird.
01:00:38Oh, no, it wasn't. It was great.
01:00:40You're welcome anytime.
01:00:42Well, maybe next time I can host.
01:00:44Oh, you wouldn't want my whole family in your place messing it all up. They're like a tornado.
01:00:48I was thinking more you and I.
01:00:54I'd love that.
01:00:56Okay. Just tomorrow too soon?
01:01:00No, it's perfect.
01:01:04Alright, I'll see you tomorrow.
01:01:30Bye.
01:02:00Bye.
01:02:11Good morning.
01:02:12Good morning. How are you?
01:02:14I'm good. Hey, do you guys have a printer back there? I just got to print off my article, do some editing, the whole red pen thing.
01:02:21For sure, yeah. I also wanted to tell you, thank you so much for coming to dinner the other night.
01:02:26And for the awesome photo shoot. I had a blast.
01:02:29Yeah, I did too.
01:02:30We got information. So all of our real estate info is just over there on the community board.
01:02:35Hey, hey.
01:02:36Hey, what's going on over here? The gossip train leave the station, alright?
01:02:41Oh, don't flatter yourself.
01:02:43Uh, is Aaron around? That lady wanted to talk to someone about real estate.
01:02:48Oh, yeah, he's at the office. I'll let him know.
01:02:53Maybe you won't have any trouble selling your place then.
01:02:56Yeah, I don't know. Forgot how much I like it here.
01:03:02Not so sure I'm ready to sell yet.
01:03:12Okay, Hannah, I think I got everything.
01:03:15Perfect. For the flowers.
01:03:18Oh, thank you very much. Good luck editing.
01:03:22I'll see you later then?
01:03:23That's annoying.
01:03:54So, you're seeing Hannah later?
01:04:00Yes.
01:04:03As in for renovations, or?
01:04:06No, we finished most of those.
01:04:09Oh, great.
01:04:13Okay, I can't take it anymore. Are you going on a date with her or not?
01:04:18It's happening?
01:04:20It's happening? It's really happening?
01:04:23Calm down.
01:04:24This is perfect. I can't believe it.
01:04:26It's just dinner right now.
01:04:28Yeah, but you like her.
01:04:33I do, yeah.
01:04:37Wow. Miracles do exist.
01:04:40Don't ever tell me miracles don't exist.
01:04:44I'm really happy for you, Cole.
01:05:12Hi.
01:05:13Hi.
01:05:15Come on in.
01:05:16Yes, thank you.
01:05:19The place is really starting to come together.
01:05:21Thanks. I've been meaning to pick up a couple more things to finish it up.
01:05:26I'm just going to check on dinner, but please take your coat off, make yourself at home.
01:05:32How's the article coming?
01:05:34Good, yeah. Down to the wire. I've got to get it in first thing.
01:05:39Well, if you need another set of eyes, I could always read it for you.
01:05:42Keep that in mind. Thank you.
01:05:49Thanks.
01:05:55Olivia, what's this?
01:06:00Oh, that's nothing.
01:06:01Did you write about Olivia to me?
01:06:03No, I just printed it out by mistake.
01:06:05Is this for the article?
01:06:07No, it's not for the article. I was just...
01:06:11What?
01:06:13Well, I was just trying to sort through my feelings about all this, so I wrote it out.
01:06:19It was supposed to help give me some clarity.
01:06:22What does that even mean?
01:06:24Well, I was just a little bit confused and overwhelmed by everything that was happening between us.
01:06:30Look, I'm sorry that you even had to see it.
01:06:32Us?
01:06:35There is no us. We just had one date.
01:06:39Yeah, I know. I just...
01:06:41I'm sorry.
01:06:45I just... I gotta go.
01:06:48Cole, wait.
01:07:11Hi.
01:07:30Hi, Aaron. It's Hannah.
01:07:34I was just wondering, is your buyer still interested in my place?
01:07:39Okay.
01:07:41That would be great. Thank you.
01:07:57Hey!
01:08:01Hey!
01:08:03Thank you for having us on such short notice.
01:08:06Yeah, no problem. You can head on in if you want.
01:08:16I hope everything's okay.
01:08:18Yeah, just time to go, I think.
01:08:23Understood.
01:08:25I hope she likes it.
01:08:26You and Cole did a great job. I'm positive she'll make an offer.
01:08:32Thank you, Aaron.
01:08:34Thank you, Aaron.
01:08:35You're welcome.
01:08:36Okay.
01:09:01So, you want her to leave.
01:09:04I never said that.
01:09:05Well, Aaron just got an offer on her cabin.
01:09:11Okay.
01:09:13Okay? That's your answer?
01:09:17It's her decision. What do you want me to do?
01:09:21Well, forgive her. And apologize yourself for storming off.
01:09:25I didn't storm off.
01:09:26Well, you kind of did.
01:09:28Don't let a misunderstanding ruin this. You guys are a great match.
01:09:32It's not a misunderstanding. She wrote about Olivia. She wrote about our marriage.
01:09:37Yeah. For herself. Not to publish.
01:09:43And can you blame her? I mean, you always keep things so close to your chest.
01:09:48How is she supposed to know how you're feeling? Or if you're ready to move on?
01:09:54I'm pretty sure I made that clear.
01:09:55Okay, sending signals is not the same thing as talking about it.
01:09:58I talked about it.
01:09:59You talked about it.
01:10:00You talked about Olivia or about your feelings for Hannah?
01:10:06Don't give up so easily.
01:10:09It's not that simple.
01:10:11Just call her.
01:10:21She may be great, but that doesn't make us a good match. She prefers to be alone.
01:10:27People change all the time. You were a lone wolf too once, before Olivia.
01:10:37Just think about it.
01:10:39Erin, hey. Yeah, I am just filling out the paperwork and signing it.
01:10:44Right now. I will get it over to you in two seconds.
01:10:47Okay.
01:10:51Hi.
01:10:52Hey.
01:10:55Did you get the article?
01:10:56Yeah, I did.
01:10:58Okay.
01:11:00I'm so glad you did.
01:11:03Hi.
01:11:04Hey.
01:11:07Did you get the article?
01:11:08I did.
01:11:10And?
01:11:11And it was fantastic.
01:11:17You really think so?
01:11:18Really. And I also wish the Walkers were my neighbors. Like, come on.
01:11:27Are you okay?
01:11:29I don't know. It's just so unlike me.
01:11:33I know you convinced yourself that your life is supposed to look different, or that you're doomed to be alone ever since Kyle.
01:11:39But it's okay if you want more.
01:11:43Yeah, but he's right. And technically there is no us.
01:11:47Love does not care about technicalities.
01:11:50Well, it doesn't matter anyway. They just accepted an offer on the cabin.
01:11:53What? Why?
01:11:54Because I'm not going to use it, and it was a good offer.
01:11:57Anna, come on. You just did the best work of your career there. You found love.
01:12:04Are you sure you want to sell it?
01:12:08Look, I know that you're trying to help, and I really appreciate it, but right now I just want to wallow in my sorrows and eat junk food until we pass out.
01:12:18Okay.
01:12:20I'll order us the biggest pizza I can find, and we're going to watch true crime documentaries all night long until we fall asleep.
01:12:49I love you.
01:13:19I love you, too.
01:13:20I love you, too.
01:13:21I love you, too.
01:13:23I love you, too.
01:13:25I love you, too.
01:13:27I love you.
01:13:42My dearest Anna, by now you know that I am gone, and you may be holding the keys to the old cabin in Sherbrooke Falls, the place that houses my most treasured memories.
01:13:54Oh, boy.
01:13:56But a house is just four walls if it's not filled with the people you love.
01:14:00You always knew what to say.
01:14:03Anna?
01:14:07You know you have to go back and profess your love, right?
01:14:12What if it doesn't work out?
01:14:14But what if it does? There's always risk. Nothing's a sure bet. Even Nana had doubts.
01:14:21But you're not going to know unless you try.
01:14:25Yeah, but Aaron already sold the cabin.
01:14:30Well, you're going to have to stop him. Come on.
01:14:37You're right.
01:14:39You're right.
01:14:48Okay.
01:14:49Okay.
01:14:51Keys.
01:14:54Wish me luck.
01:14:55You're not going to need it because no matter what happens, it's going to be okay.
01:15:00I met your grandfather in that town when I was 21.
01:15:05I know to you that must seem young, but back in my day, reaching that milestone without any prospects of marriage was cause for concern.
01:15:15But I was committed to my freedom, and I wanted nothing to do with marriage.
01:15:21And then I met your grandfather.
01:15:23And then I met your grandfather.
01:15:26I worried that my affection would fade and that I might feel trapped.
01:15:30But as luck would have it, my love for your grandfather only grew, and our life didn't feel like a compromise.
01:15:38It felt like home.
01:15:40It gives me great comfort to know that there will be a place for you, should you decide to keep it.
01:15:46I adore you, Hannah.
01:15:48And you can bet your bottom dollar I am missing you at this exact moment, wherever I am.
01:15:54All my love, Hannah.
01:16:09It's so good, right? Check this out.
01:16:12Oh, look at that.
01:16:13I want that.
01:16:14Isn't that great?
01:16:15We look cute in that.
01:16:16It's such a good photo.
01:16:17I know, I love it.
01:16:18Okay, now check this out.
01:16:20Oh my gosh, look.
01:16:21Oh, you look fabulous.
01:16:22That was amazing.
01:16:23There's our little girl.
01:16:24Cool.
01:16:26Hey, Cole, come check this out.
01:16:28Oh, look, and there's my quote.
01:16:30Perfect.
01:16:31Love is more than a feeling.
01:16:32Is that what you said?
01:16:33Yeah, I did say that.
01:16:34What happened?
01:16:35Hannah's article came out.
01:16:38Oh.
01:16:40Wait, don't you want to read it?
01:16:42Do you want to read it?
01:16:44I don't know.
01:16:45Cole, you have to read it.
01:16:47We'll cover for you here.
01:16:48Take your time, read it.
01:16:50I'm good, Dad.
01:16:51Oh, for Pete's sake, just read it, you dummy.
01:16:54She loves you.
01:16:56What?
01:16:58Read it.
01:17:13It's...
01:17:14Yeah.
01:17:15Red.
01:17:17Banners.
01:17:18Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:19That's...
01:17:21Oh, I don't...
01:17:23So, Coles?
01:17:27It's a great article.
01:17:29She's a good writer, and, uh, you guys,
01:17:32I think you should read it.
01:17:34Yeah.
01:17:35Yeah.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:37Yeah.
01:17:38Yeah.
01:17:39Yeah.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:41You guys, she tells her story better than you, do I have to say?
01:17:45It is good, isn't it?
01:17:47Did you read To The End?
01:17:49Yeah, I read it.
01:17:52Okay, let me...
01:17:55And I quote,
01:17:57One can't help but wonder if the Walker's marriage is the exception to the rule,
01:18:02and a liar in a downward-facing trend.
01:18:05But then you meet their children,
01:18:07who, in spite of their hardships, have refused to succumb to cynicism.
01:18:11Spend enough time with them,
01:18:13and you two may become a believer in lasting love.
01:18:18She loves you.
01:18:21That's not what that says.
01:18:23You need to go find her.
01:18:26I don't know, I just...
01:18:29Honey, it's okay to be scared.
01:18:33It's a big thing, moving on.
01:18:35But it's worth it.
01:18:37She's worth it.
01:18:40I don't know where to find her.
01:18:43Aaron probably has her address on file somewhere.
01:18:46I can get him to text it to you.
01:18:48Go.
01:18:50Are you going to be fine here, though?
01:18:52Go ahead.
01:18:53We'll be fine.
01:18:54Go!
01:18:56Go, go!
01:18:58Good luck, honey.
01:18:59Good luck, honey.
01:19:23Cole!
01:19:26Cole!
01:19:30Cole!
01:19:48Oh, come on.
01:19:51Hannah!
01:19:52Aaron! Hi!
01:19:55What's going on?
01:19:56Listen, I changed my mind. I don't want to sell.
01:19:58But I thought you said...
01:19:59I'm sorry. I know.
01:20:00I know it's crazy, but I want to stay here.
01:20:04My house.
01:20:06But we just finished the final inspection.
01:20:08Is there anything you can do?
01:20:11Well, technically, they haven't signed the contract yet,
01:20:14since it was based on this final inspection.
01:20:16No meaning?
01:20:18I think I can talk her out of it.
01:20:19Thank you. Thank you so much.
01:20:21You got it.
01:20:22Okay.
01:20:29Bye.
01:20:42Oh, God.
01:20:45Oh, come on.
01:20:49Okay.
01:20:59Hannah!
01:21:01Cole!
01:21:02Hey!
01:21:04What are you doing?
01:21:06I was...
01:21:08I was...
01:21:09Well, it's because my key got stuck and then I...
01:21:14Actually, I came to see you.
01:21:17Hannah, I owe you an apology.
01:21:19No, you don't.
01:21:20Yes, I do.
01:21:21I know that you were never going to publish that piece about Olivia and me.
01:21:24Just in the moment, there was so much going on in my head.
01:21:28I think I was scared about what was going on with us,
01:21:31and it felt like an out, so I took it.
01:21:35I'm so sorry, Cole.
01:21:36No, no, no. Don't be.
01:21:38Look,
01:21:40I never planned to fall for anyone after Olivia.
01:21:43I didn't even think it was possible.
01:21:46Then all of a sudden,
01:21:49here you are.
01:21:51Here you are.
01:21:53And I'm thinking about you all the time,
01:21:55and I'm coming up with excuses to see you.
01:22:00And I wouldn't let myself admit what was happening.
01:22:04But there was an us.
01:22:06Because it came with all these other feelings, too.
01:22:12Bottom line is,
01:22:16I think I'm falling for you,
01:22:17and I really don't want you to leave.
01:22:20Please don't go.
01:22:29You know, I spent so much time trying to convince myself
01:22:33that what I was feeling between us was just a flash in the pan.
01:22:42Bound to fade.
01:22:43Because,
01:22:46Cole, that's all I've ever known.
01:22:50And the more time I spent getting to know you,
01:22:55and your family,
01:23:01the more I felt like home.
01:23:05And I started thinking, maybe I was wrong.
01:23:09You know, maybe,
01:23:14maybe it could be different.
01:23:17Maybe
01:23:20we could be
01:23:23different.
01:23:29I'm not going anywhere, Cole.
01:23:50I love you.
01:24:20I love you.
01:24:21I love you.
01:24:22I love you.
01:24:23I love you.
