Short filmTranscript
00:00Hello?
00:01Zoe, Pace, Talon, are you still at the hospital?
00:05Courtney mentioned you had a family emergency.
00:07Is everything alright with Max?
00:09Yeah, yeah, actually, it wasn't Max this time.
00:13It was my sister, but don't worry.
00:16I can be back at the office later.
00:18No, no, no, no, it's fine, Zoe.
00:20You work enough as it is.
00:21But I am emailing you right now a proposal for a new client.
00:29Big budget, big everything.
00:31Think you can handle it?
00:33Me? Seriously?
00:35Seriously, seriously.
00:37He wants to meet tonight at 6pm at Waterford International's restaurant.
00:43Yeah, I'll be there.
00:49Finally, some good news.
00:51Things were finally looking up for Zoe at work.
01:05But she had no idea this dinner would be a brush with fate.
01:09Reservation under the name Fuller?
01:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13You've got to be kidding me.
01:15No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:17Please don't see me, please don't see me, please don't see me.
01:21Telling interiors this is Zoe speaking.
01:29Are you joining me for dinner or not?
01:42You are my new client.
01:46And you are my new interior designer.
01:50I can call my boss and have him put somebody else on the project given our history.
01:56That might be best.
01:58Don't be silly.
02:00We can be adults, right?
02:02Besides, I know how talented you are.
02:10Okay, well then, let's just dive right in, huh?
02:13Thought it might be a good idea to start getting your input with what you envision for your home.
02:18I'm going in on the mood.
02:20Going for your space?
02:25Let's eat first.
02:30Whatever you say.
02:33Boss?
02:35Were you always this testy?
02:39Always.
02:41Neither could deny it.
02:43The chemistry between them was electric.
02:45I thought that the wood made a nice contrast with the lighter colors.
02:50I really like the wood textures here.
02:52You're definitely on to something.
02:53I thought the textures were really interesting.
02:55Yeah.
03:05I'm sorry if I'm overloading you.
03:08We definitely don't have to figure out everything tonight.
03:11No, it's not that.
03:14What is it?
03:18Why didn't you ever call, Zoe?
03:21Excuse me?
03:23Why did you leave?
03:26So suddenly, I mean, I had no idea where you went.
03:29How could she tell him the truth?
03:31What his own mother had done to her?
03:36I, um...
03:37She had to protect herself and Max.
03:40She couldn't get wrapped up in the Dexters again.
03:46I'm so sorry.
03:49Hello?
03:51Yes, of course.
03:53Have her prep for surgery. I'll be right there.
03:56Is everything okay?
03:58It will be.
04:00Um, I guess we'll have to continue this conversation further at another time.
04:11As Zoe watched Blaine leave, she wished she could have explained everything to him in that moment.
04:18But she couldn't put Max at risk.
04:20Besides, patients needed his healing hands.
04:24She remembered when they healed her from her own terrible accident all those years ago.
04:30Oh, I'm not...
04:31I'm sorry. I can come back.
04:33It's okay. I, um...
04:35Um, I'm, uh, kind of struggling with these, um...
04:42Do you mind if I help?
04:48What's your name?
04:49Zoe.
04:51Hi, Zoe.
04:53I'm Dr. Dexter.
04:55You can call me Blaine.
04:57As Blaine fastened Zoe's gown, a shiver ran down her spine.
05:02How's that feel?
05:04Yeah.
05:06Good, I guess.
05:10How's that?
05:15Um...
05:17It's perfect.
05:18Blaine could feel something between Zoe and him.
05:22But he had to maintain professionalism.
05:30Oh!
05:31Oh, hey. You okay?
05:33Yeah, um, sorry.
05:35You seem nervous.
05:36No, no, no. It's just, uh, probably the accident.
05:40Yeah. Well, I think as a precaution, we should have you stay here another day.
05:44Will you be my doctor?
05:47Yeah. You don't like me?
05:51No, it's not that. I just, I don't want to, um, take you away from other patients that might need you more than me.
06:00Well, something tells me that you need mine.
06:02Little did he know, this same man would get me pregnant only ten months later.
06:11Thank you. Thank you.
06:17Blaine was engaged. Why was he paying for dinner?
06:21And offering his private number?
06:23What could he want from her?
06:27I can't believe we lost him.
06:29I really thought he'd pull through.
06:33Hey.
06:41You seem distracted.
06:45Oh, hey. Sorry.
06:47Yeah, I wish we could have saved him, too.
06:51You know, for a moment there, I thought I saw a light on in you, Blaine.
06:54Thinking about your fiancée?
06:56Nope. Just distracted.
06:58Well, who are you thinking about?
07:00Don't be ridiculous.
07:10I'm sorry.
07:12I'm sorry. I was just playing and my ball got away.
07:16Are you a doctor?
07:17I am.
07:18You look strong. Like a superhero.
07:21What's your name, kid?
07:23I'm Max. What's your name?
07:25I'm Dr. Blaine Dexter. You can call me Dr. Blaine.
07:30Oh, you're the brain surgeon with a penthouse downtown.
07:34And your family's loaded.
07:36You live in Moore Park, don't you?
07:38Are you a detective?
07:40Oh, the nurses want to marry you.
07:43Are you single?
07:44Actually, I have a fiancée.
07:49What's wrong with having a fiancée?
07:51It's just, if you were single, I would have introduced you to my mom.
07:55My grandma always says she needs a good man to take care of her.
07:59And you look like a good man.
08:01Are you her matchmaker?
08:03She used to be married, but now they don't live together anymore.
08:07I'm sorry to hear that.
08:09So if I fall asleep one day and never wake up again, she'd be all alone.
08:14Well, then let's just hope that doesn't happen, okay?
08:17Who is your mom, anyways?
08:19Max? Max, I've been looking for you everywhere.
08:22Let's get you to your room, okay?
08:26What's wrong with the little guy?
08:28Leukemia.
08:30His whole family's been tested, but we haven't found a match for a bone marrow transplant yet.
08:35Bye, Dr. Blaine.
08:37Blaine felt his heart ache at Ramona's answer.
08:40He knew how difficult it was to find that kind of donor.
08:45Max!
08:47There you are. Where'd you go?
08:49You have to stay in your room, you little troublemaker.
08:52Well, he struck up a friendship with the hot surgeon, Dr. Dexter.
09:01Hey, Max, sweetie, go in. I'll be right there.
09:06Ramona, Dr. Dexter cannot know who Max is.
09:10He can't know his last name. He can't know that he's related to me, okay? Do you understand?
09:14Zoe, what's going on?
09:15Please, just promise me.
09:19I promise you.
09:21Okay. Thank you.
09:26Zoe couldn't tell her that Blaine's mother attempted to take her life and Max's four years ago.
09:32But she had to keep Max safe.
09:34And keeping the truth from Blaine was the only way.
09:38But would she be able to keep them apart forever?
09:41Only time would tell.
