00:00Nate, oh, you're back in town.
00:06Sorry I'm late.
00:07The plane from Boston was delayed as usual.
00:09You're here now, right?
00:10That's what matters.
00:11Right.
00:12Cool.
00:13So I made some changes on the plane.
00:14OK.
00:15Got in touch with the city for the final code inspections.
00:16OK.
00:17There should be no further delays.
00:18Awesome.
00:19Is that the art for the lobby?
00:20For the whole wall to the entrance
00:21to the new pediatric waiting area.
00:23What do you think?
00:24I thought we were going for art that would complement
00:26the modern lines of the building.
00:28No, the board thought she captures a lot of innocence
00:30that would connect with younger patients.
00:32Besides, she has a lot of experience.
00:34It's a little juvenile, don't you think?
00:36I mean, I didn't spend all this money on industrial materials
00:39to have it covered with clouds and butterflies.
00:41Well, I like to think I've captured the essence
00:43of the community in my sketch.
00:45Either way, mural's for the patients, not you.
00:50Vanessa Brent, juvenile artist.
00:53Pleased to meet you.
00:55I'm sorry if I offended you.
00:57I should get started on the mural.
00:59I have a tangle lesson to get to later,
01:01and Carlos cannot be kept waiting.
01:08Oh, let's take a look at those revisions.
01:10I'm really curious to see what you came up with.
01:12All right.
01:13Sounds good.
01:22Yeah.
01:43Stop.
01:44It's OK.
01:45I'm OK.
01:46Oh, oh.
01:48I just tried to do too much today.
02:05This totally feels like old times.
02:08Yeah. The Creek Falls Project came along at just the right time.
02:11I needed to get away.
02:13Too many memories of Taylor and I in Boston.
02:17I was sorry to hear that you two split.
02:22This is just not my night.
02:37No.
02:39Hi, can I have a large orange juice please? Thanks.
02:52Um, I'm ready for round two. You want another?
03:01Hey.
03:04How was the tango lesson?
03:07Wonderful.
03:11Would you like to join Wallace and I? Our dart games are actually...
03:14I don't mix business with pleasure.
03:16Nothing good ever comes of that.
03:19Sorry, that was uncalled for.
03:22I see.
03:24Honestly, I haven't been feeling quite myself.
03:27I thought I'd stop by for a minute and rehydrate after a big class.
03:32You seem a little bit tired.
03:34Uh, Wallace and I will probably call it a night before too long if you'd like a ride home.
03:37Oh, no, it's all right. I'll just cap.
03:40Hey, you want to dance for your lady?
03:42Oh, no, I'm...
03:44Yeah?
03:45No, no, I'm just feeling a little...
03:47Yeah, I'm actually... I'm going to get her home.
03:51Understood? I'm a perfect match if you want to hook me up later.
03:59Thank you for the save, but for the record, I can take care of myself.
04:04Duly noted.
04:07Is that ride home still an offer?
04:11Yeah, it'd be my pleasure.
04:19I'm not too far, just up by the inn.
04:22Yeah, no problem. I know it.
04:24So, aside from being a mural painter and a tango dancer,
04:30what else is there to know about Vanessa Brent?
04:33Not much to tell.
04:34I'm out on the road a lot, on commissions, so I don't really have a home base.
04:39Although my rabbit keeps me grounded.
04:42Wherever he is, that's home.
04:45What about a home base? Everybody needs a home.
04:51I guess I lost so many people that home base got lost a long way, too.
04:56Yeah, I know the feeling.
04:59There we go.
05:02Whoa, check out that bike.
05:04Well, I could take you for a ride sometime if you wanted.
05:06You have a bike?
05:08Actually, I have that one.
05:12Why is your bike parked outside the inn?
05:15Actually, I kind of own the inn, too.
05:18I thought Iris owned the inn.
05:20I'm her son.
05:22The one who lives in Boston?
05:24Used to live in Boston, yeah.
05:26I had a minor life disruption, so I'm back to regroup and work on the hospital.
05:35So you live here now?
05:37Yeah.
05:38If I owned a place that nice, I would not leave.
05:41Well, thanks.
05:43Thank you so much for the ride.
05:45No problem.
05:47Good night.
05:51Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:22Now, remission isn't something we can give guarantees on, but this is what we do know.
06:41Don't be given. Don't cry. Don't cry.
06:52I hope I'm not bothering you.
06:53I brought a peace offering. It's barbecue from my favorite place.
06:57Can I bring it in?
07:00Fortunately, your favorite place's barbecue smells delicious, so I won't send you and your food home.
07:07I'm tired, but I'm also starving.
07:10I guess I'm lucky I caught you hungry.
07:12Lucky is as lucky does. Nate, meet Lucky.
07:18Does my mom know that you have vermin running loose in the guest house?
07:22He's not a vermin. He's a rabbit. He's house trained.
07:25What kind of heathen buddy do you think he is?
07:27One with nasty, sharp teeth.
07:30Oh, he doesn't bite. He's vegetarian. Vegan.
07:33Actually.
07:35The art I create will live on. I love the both of us.
07:41I can capture a moment in time and someone 20 years from now will get joy from seeing it for the first time.
07:48See, that's exactly how I feel about my builds. You know, it's like I'm a part of them.
07:55Do you have pictures of any of your buildings?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Love you.
08:05This is from a few months ago. It's an apartment complex.
08:09I love the lines. Very mature.
08:13I like the materials you used. It's very modern.
08:35Good.
08:39Cheers.
08:43See you tomorrow.
08:44Definitely.
08:46Good night, Nate.
08:49Night.
09:05Huh.
09:25Vanessa?
09:28Vanessa?
09:30You forgot your purse.
09:34Vanessa?
09:38Vanessa.
09:56Hey, you.
09:59Hey, you.
10:01I went out cold, right?
10:03Yeah.
10:06I hate that on a third date.
10:12No more jokes.
10:17It's time to come clean, then.
10:21It's time.
10:23What if I'm not ready?
10:30Then I don't know if this can grow into anything more than a friendship.
10:36Why not?
10:40Look, I've already had a woman in my life with secrets, and it wrecked me.
10:47You're mysterious, and it's intriguing, but you scared me.
10:55I need answers.
10:57I'm just living life on my own terms.
11:00I'm not connecting or sharing your life. It doesn't feel like living. It feels like running away.
11:06Fair enough, but it's my life.
11:20Then I'll leave you to it.
11:31Wow.
11:33I can't believe it. You've really captured the spirit of Creek Falls.
11:38It's peaceful, welcoming, and you're not even finished.
11:42Thanks, Carolyn. That means a lot to me.
11:54Hey, Carolyn.
11:55Hey.
11:56Hi, Vanessa.
11:57Hi.
11:59Can I talk to you for a minute?
12:01Sure, if you like.
12:03Nice to see you, Nate.
12:04You too.
12:10Glad to see you back at work.
12:14You really scared me.
12:17I'm sorry. I wasn't up to talking the other day.
12:20What you saw is a byproduct of the medication I have to take to make sure I can keep working on my list.
12:27So you want me to stop worrying about you?
12:30Yes.
12:32What if I want to spend more time with you?
12:34Well, we can keep having fun together and work on my list.
12:39Well, I did get a peek at that list and there is something special I think I could help with.
12:45Why don't I pick you up after lunch and we take the afternoon off?
12:49Sounds like a plan.
12:52I know.
13:09Right on time.
13:11Yes, being on time can be a bit of a curse, but today it's working for me.
13:15So, are you ready to go?
13:17Pretty much.
13:19So, what's the surprise?
13:22Today I am the one with the secrets.
13:24Now, are you sure you don't need a secret consultant? Because I have years of experience.
13:28Yeah, I think I've picked up a few of them.
13:31Well, if you're going to be a secret consultant, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions.
13:34Because I have years of experience.
13:36Yeah, I think I've picked up a few pointers.
13:40So, I'm guessing there's a car ride in my future?
13:44That is uncanny. How did you do that?
13:46I'm a psychic.
13:50Are we going hiking? Because I have sails on.
13:52Nope, not even close.
13:53Hot air ballooning?
13:54No.
13:55Paris. You're taking me to Paris.
13:59Okay, now do I get to see the surprise?
14:02Patience is a virtue.
14:03Sometimes it feels like luxury.
14:07Ta-da!
14:13Butterflies!
14:22Look!
14:33How beautiful.
14:43When I was a little girl, my grandma told me that butterflies only live for a day.
14:48You know, some butterflies actually live for weeks, even months.
14:53Really?
14:54Yes, indeed.
14:55And monarch butterflies go on these incredible journeys where they migrate for thousands of miles.
15:00That kind of sounds like my journey.
15:03Well, I'm just glad that your journey brought you here.
15:23So, do you have any more fun facts about butterflies, Mr. Science?
15:27I do, actually.
15:29Did you know that butterflies are cold-blooded?
15:33They need to bask in the sun in order to be able to fly.
15:38I didn't know all this.
15:40I worked here for a few summers to help pay my way through college.
15:44That's nice.
15:46Yeah, I felt like I was on this path I thought everyone had to be on.
15:51College, career, get married, start a family of my own.
15:56Oh, thank you.
15:59I did not see this big break in the road.
16:02Sounds like you were blindsided.
16:05Maybe.
16:06Or maybe I was just paying too much attention to the road ahead.
16:11So focused on checking boxes, I never engaged with my life.
16:18Divorces sort of forced me to pay attention.
16:23And are you paying attention now?
16:26I sure am.
16:34Now, I would like to share with you one of my very favorite things.
16:38Oh.
16:41How did you? What?
16:44This is a peanut butter and mayo sandwich.
16:48Mayo?
16:49Mm-hmm, I know.
16:50You're a little kooky, Nate Dalton.
16:52I prefer fun-loving.
16:54Hmm.
16:55Okay.
16:59I know.
17:00Okay, here we go.
17:04It's really good.
17:05Yeah.
17:07It's weird and satisfying.
17:10I invented this when I was eight.
17:11No, you did not.
17:13Mm-hmm.
17:14Really?
17:15It caused a stir in my school.
17:17A shooting star.
17:19Make a wish.
17:28Let me guess.
17:30You wish to finish your list.
17:34What do you wish for?
17:37For you to be okay.
17:42I want to be with you.
17:44I want you to be okay.
17:46Are you okay?
17:47I'm okay.
17:48I told you I could take care of myself.
17:55I just don't think it concerns you.
18:03I want it to concern me.
18:08I'm just not ready, Nate.
18:14You shine brighter than the stars.
18:18And you know your butterflies.
18:22I love that those butterflies made you so happy.
18:27You're freezing.
18:29Let's get you home and we'll go.
18:30No, no, no.
18:31I like it out here.
18:33It's peaceful.
18:36Five more minutes?
18:38Five more minutes.
18:39Five more minutes?
18:41Five more minutes.
18:57So, what's next?
19:00Riding wild stallions?
19:01Bareback?
19:02What else is on the list?
19:04Hmm.
19:05There's rock climbing.
19:07I know a good place for rocks.
19:09We could go tomorrow.
19:10It's Saturday.
19:11I'm not working.
19:12I should probably keep working on the mural.
19:14But thank you for a truly special day.
19:18I loved every minute of it.
19:21Well, I will see you for breakfast in the dining room
19:24where I will do my best to convince you to spend the whole day with me.
19:28Sounds good.
19:33Good night.
19:34Good night.
19:40What do you think?
19:42Can we trust him?
19:45I like him too.
19:48Maybe.
19:49Just maybe.
19:50We can cross the last two items on the list one day.
19:55Maybe.
20:06Smells good.
20:07Smells good.
20:08No early risers?
20:10They'll be down in a few minutes.
20:12How was the social?
20:13Any good gossip this week?
20:15Hey, is Arthur Goodman still doing the thing with the suspenders and the belt?
20:19Don't make fun of Arthur Goodman.
20:21There's nothing wrong with making sure your pants don't fall.
20:25Sit.
20:27I had a nice visit with Joyce.
20:31Her nephew is coming to visit next month.
20:33Of course he is.
20:34And all my friends want to know how your children's ward is coming along.
20:38Well, it isn't exactly mine.
20:40But you can tell them that I'm drafting the last couple of changes.
20:44They're going in for approvals.
20:46Yeah, we're nearly done.
20:47It's all pretty positive.
20:48Great.
20:49That's what I assumed.
20:51And how are you and Vanessa?
20:57I'm your mother.
20:58I see the way you two look at each other.
21:01She's a lovely person.
21:03Share.
21:05Well, uh, the mural is gorgeous.
21:10It's perfect for the kids.
21:13She just, she really seems to care.
21:16You can tell it with every brush stroke.
21:18And the way she teaches the children.
21:23So this is a relationship then?
21:26Uh, I don't know.
21:29She's very private.
21:30I saw her covering up some bandages from some blood tests.
21:34I don't know what's going on with her, but she doesn't want to tell me.
21:38And I can't have another relationship filled with secrets.
21:42Not after Taylor.
21:43Vanessa isn't like that.
21:45You two are good for each other.
21:46You lift each other up.
21:47Yeah, maybe, but what if...
21:50You need to let yourself heal from Taylor.
21:53And know that you and Vanessa are a completely different kind of couple.
22:01I wish people would stop bringing up Taylor.
22:04Who's bringing up Taylor?
22:07At the social?
22:09Sweetheart, I don't know how to say this except to say it.
22:15Joyce heard that Taylor's pregnant.
22:20Taylor?
22:21My, my Taylor?
22:22My, my, my ex Taylor?
22:26That Taylor, yes.
22:29Nate?
22:32Breathe, honey.
22:33Uh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
22:36I know how much you loved her.
22:38You stuck it out for so many years.
22:40Yeah, I did.
22:43I, uh, I thought we were till death do we part.
22:46I, I thought we wanted to have children together.
22:51I guess she just didn't want to have children with me.
22:56You know, sometimes things happen for a reason.
22:59It's only been a few months.
23:00She's already pregnant with somebody's baby?
23:03Yeah, I would have made a great father.
23:05And you will be when the time is right.
23:08Exactly, never.
23:10Ready to convince him to take the day off, Nate?
23:15I can't do this.
23:17What?
23:18Nate, Nate!
23:21He's angry with someone else, not with you.
23:24Not one day has gone by in these last few weeks that Nate hasn't smiled from ear to ear because of you.
23:30There is no way.
23:31No, there is every way he wouldn't want this.
23:40I don't blame him.
23:51Sam.
23:58I have done it all.
24:01I've done the silly things on your list.
24:04I have done the dangerous things on the list.
24:10But the last two, Sam.
24:12To love and...
24:15But the last two, Sam.
24:17To love and be loved.
24:21And to get married.
24:23I don't know.
24:25I have opened up my heart.
24:29You know how hard it is for me to do that.
24:33But I really try.
24:36The last two things on the list.
24:39I don't know if I have it in me.
24:41It's just...
24:44I don't know.
24:54I am losing faith.
24:58I have fought so hard.
25:02And I've done all the treatments.
25:06And I have poured my heart on countless murals across the country.
25:11And I painted you in them as an angel.
25:15Because I felt you with me.
25:22I am tired.
25:24I am tired to the bone.
25:26I just...
25:28I just need to rest.
25:30Please, I just...
25:32I need to...
25:33I need to rest.
25:40I need to rest.
25:58You have knocked it out of the park, Vanessa.
26:02This mural is ten times more amazing than I thought it would be.
26:06I can't wait to share this with everyone at the opening gala.
26:10Thanks, Wallace.
26:13So...
26:16You think you'll finish in time?
26:18I always do.
26:21Excellent.
26:23You sealed a deal to remodel a hospital in Vermont.
26:27And they asked if you'd be interested in painting a mural for them.
26:35How are you?
26:36You bet.
26:38I love the state of Vermont.
26:39And I've always wanted to work on a project there.
26:41And all that ice cream.
26:45Well, they'll find you a place to live and they've got a good budget.
26:48Great.
26:49The more I get, the more I can give back.
26:55I understand supporting a cause and everything, but...
26:58Can I ask?
27:00I mean, how are you living?
27:02You need money to live too, right?
27:05I have my own needs.
27:08And art raises the spirits, no matter how dire your situation.
27:13I focus on serene colors so that the kids that come in here can feel comfort and light.
27:20They need to feel the peace and the hope that art can inspire.
27:25I want my art to make you feel better without you even knowing why.
27:32I should stop chatting and keep painting if I'm going to finish this on time for the gala.
27:37Let the Vermont Hospital know you agreed to do their mural.
27:40Thanks, Wallace.
27:45You'll be over the moon.
27:53Climbing is such a workout, I'm feeling muscles I never even knew I had.
27:58There's a real color in your cheeks.
28:00I'm glad to see my son's absence isn't a drain on you.
28:03It's hurting me more than I want to admit, Iris.
28:07I can't wallow in it. I have to finish the mural in time for the gala.
28:11Will you stay after the gala?
28:13I don't think so.
28:15I got a job in Vermont. I'll be painting the mural of the hospital there.
28:20Wallace is project manager.
28:22You're moving to Vermont?
28:24Mm-hmm.
28:26All the fresh air and the fresh dairy. It'll be fun.
28:29All good points, but will you tell Nate?
28:34Well, he's not exactly around to tell.
28:37I haven't seen him. Have you?
28:40His boss called him back on a project up in Boston that was erupting like a volcano.
28:45Apparently he's been spending too much time here and the other projects suffered.
28:49Well, that's that.
28:52I'm glad he's getting his priorities in order.
28:55I'm glad he's getting his priorities in order.
28:59You are exactly what he needs right now.
29:03If he had said that himself, I'd be inclined to believe it.
29:07Please talk to him, Vanessa.
29:12I'm going to miss you, Iris.
29:16I should go. I'll talk to you later.
29:26Yeah, so he just left for Boston.
29:30I still can't believe he just left.
29:32Well, his boss needed him back on a project, apparently.
29:35Sure, his work.
29:37He came back for the weekend, right?
29:40You didn't hear me. Nate left, period.
29:46Here you go, buddy.
29:48Sorry, I dropped it.
29:50That's okay.
29:52I noticed you were putting a lot of work into your painting today.
29:56I like seeing that kind of effort.
29:59I hope to be as good as you one day.
30:02Well, I think that you can do whatever you set your mind to, Reese.
30:09I'm waiting.
30:11Waiting for what?
30:13For you to say that you'll fight for him.
30:15I have done enough fighting for my life.
30:17In my life.
30:19I'm kind of over it.
30:21But I saw the way he looked at you the other day when he dropped by and he really knew you then.
30:25For you at least. Just tell him about your move to Vermont.
30:28I don't want you to leave, Vanessa.
30:32Oh, Sophia, you have so many great friends here.
30:36Lifelong friends.
30:38They'll always have your back.
30:40But who will have your back?
30:45Samantha.
30:47Always Samantha.
30:49Who's Samantha?
30:52She's someone who loved me.
30:53And was always there for me.
31:01Excuse me.
31:04Vanessa?
31:05Vanessa?
31:22Nothing came up on your MRI.
31:24And your blood work markers look really good.
31:29Looks like you're just going to need routine blood work once a year.
31:32Once a year?
31:33Oh.
31:35Wow.
31:37So does that mean I'm officially in remission?
31:39It looks that way.
31:41You're a very lucky girl.
31:43I know.
31:45Every morning I wake up, I'm grateful I'm still here.
31:48Well, it's been a long journey.
31:50But you beat the odds.
31:52And your diligence with the drug regime has really paid off.
31:55So no more pills?
31:57No more pills.
31:59Which means no more side effects.
32:03Good luck, Vanessa.
32:05Go live your life to the fullest.
32:07I will.
32:08Okay.
32:20Lucky, you are looking at a future top chef.
32:23Or maybe a future Nobel Peace Prize winner.
32:29Future.
32:34I haven't had an actual future in years.
32:42Think of all the murals I can paint now.
32:45And think of all the new adventures I can have.
32:48I can climb mountains and I can see all the great art of the world.
32:52I can sail the seven seas.
32:55Although, I'm not sure if I like sailing.
32:59Well, we'll see.
33:04Ready for the next adventure, Lucky?
33:08I'll take that as a yes.
33:24Hey, thanks for calling.
33:26I was feeling a little at loose ends with myself with Nate being gone again.
33:30Yep.
33:32I'm glad we can go to the gala together.
33:34Me too.
33:36Life's too short to wait for anyone.
33:39You know it.
33:41You know what we should do?
33:43What?
33:44We should stay up all night and watch the sunrise.
33:47Okay, but I need a favor.
33:49Okay.
33:51Can you teach me how to tango, can you?
33:53I can teach you.
33:54You can?
33:55I can.
33:56You don't mind?
33:57No.
33:58Okay.
33:59All right.
34:01Yeah?
34:02Yes.
34:03Be nice.
34:09I love, love, love, love, love it!
34:12The colors, the style, the images.
34:14This is Creek Falls.
34:16And you are giving hope to everyone who walks through these doors for care.
34:20It's extraordinary.
34:22Thanks, Caroline.
34:23You are now appointed my number one art reviewer.
34:26I'm not trying to inflate your ego.
34:28I'm truly blown away.
34:29You're going to make me blush.
34:32On another note, the kids are going to miss you terribly.
34:36I'm going to miss them too.
34:38And I'll miss you.
34:40Becoming friends with you has been one of the best parts about living here.
34:43And there are a lot of good things about living here.
34:46You're going to make me blush.
34:48I'll try to swing by and visit the kids before I go.
34:53Any chance you could make Creek Falls your home base?
34:56You could still go and paint, travel, have big adventures, but just call this place home?
35:03I love Creek Falls, but I just have to follow my path.
35:09To be open to where the road, my road, will take me.
35:14And Nate?
35:17You don't see a path that leads you back to him?
35:20No, unfortunately not.
35:23He's still in Boston.
35:24I haven't heard from him.
35:26Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. That's really unlike him.
35:30I was blindsided. I left my heart out there.
35:34Open.
35:36I'm so confused about men now.
35:39Don't let Nate discourage you.
35:41There are a lot of decent guys. There is someone for you.
35:46You're right.
35:48I'll meet my soulmate out on the open road.
35:50That's very profound.
35:52But tonight we celebrate.
35:54Okay.
35:59I'm going to get us more champagne.
36:06Vanessa.
36:08Wallace.
36:10You'll be pleased to know that all your laboring has paid off.
36:13Everyone loves the mural.
36:16You should be proud.
36:20I am really proud of my work.
36:21But I'm also really proud to be a part of this journey.
36:25It's quite an amazing journey.
36:28Yeah. I'm very grateful.
36:38You came to dance.
36:40I would love to dance.
36:44You know, you still owe me that tango.
36:46I do, I do.
36:48You're a very good dancer.
36:53Is that Nate?
36:55Nate!
37:04Hey.
37:06Nate?
37:11Excuse me.
37:14The mural is spectacular.
37:17Congratulations.
37:19Thanks.
37:24There's your signature angel.
37:28She's always there when someone needs strength.
37:39The work is so famous, why don't you just sign it with your own name?
37:44I don't paint murals in hospitals for attention, Nate.
37:47I don't do it for money.
37:50I do it to comfort the patients and their families and caregivers.
37:54To give them hope when there's darkness.
37:57To remind them that they're loved and they're not alone.
38:08So, you're leaving?
38:12Tomorrow.
38:18I'm going to go find Carol.
38:20No, please, Vanessa.
38:23I know I don't deserve it after my little vanishing act,
38:27but I would love the opportunity to give you an explanation.
38:39Okay.
38:41Okay.
38:48When I found out Taylor was pregnant,
38:51it really messed me up.
38:57I had been wanting a family for so long,
39:02and she had been resistant to that idea.
39:07And I realize now that she just didn't want to have a family with me.
39:12And I had to come to terms with that.
39:16I wasn't the right person for her.
39:19But more importantly, she wasn't the right person for me either.
39:25Vanessa, you have opened me up to living life fully.
39:32And my life doesn't feel full without you in it.
39:37You are my life.
39:42You are my person, Vanessa.
39:47Look, I hear you.
39:53I just don't think I'm that important to you.
39:56Nate, I let you in and you just left without an explanation.
40:00You just left me here alone.
40:02I made a mistake. I understand that.
40:04I was just so confused about the list and the pills.
40:08But while I was away,
40:09I came to understand that it doesn't matter how much time we have,
40:14just that we get to spend it together.
40:21Time is so precious.
40:28I just don't know if I want to invest it in someone who's broken my trust.
40:39I'm sorry, Nate.
40:55It's open.
41:02Hey, Vanessa.
41:05Mind if I come in?
41:06Well, you own the place, so sure.
41:19Can we sit?
41:36Sure.
41:45So, is it quite a big mural that you're painting in Vermont?
41:54Very big.
41:56Wow.
41:58Sounds tough.
42:07How've you been?
42:09Fine.
42:11My mom mentioned that you'd gotten some news.
42:17Yeah, some really good news.
42:20You just won't let me in.
42:27I can see how, from your perspective, that seems true.
42:34But I was only trying to protect myself.
42:38And Samantha.
42:41Who is Samantha?
42:44I've heard you mention her. Was she your grandmother?
42:49No, she's not my grandmother.
42:55She's my guardian angel.
42:59And I am her life.
43:03It's okay. It's okay.
43:08Samantha, I miss you so much.
43:13It's okay.
43:19She knew her disease was incurable, and yet she spent all her strength trying to help me.
43:28But that's the strength I see in you every day.
43:30That's the life that we see in your murals.
43:36After, after she died, I started to get better, and I went into remission.
43:44Your pills.
43:46I thought that you were dying, and that's what you couldn't share with me.
43:52No, no.
43:54The pills were to help me rebuild my immune system after years of treatments.
43:58I was in remission, but the doctors weren't ready to get me a clean bill of health.
44:04That's, that's the news I got yesterday.
44:10And I wasn't here to share that with you.
44:15I'm so sorry.
44:17It's okay.
44:21There's something else that I haven't shared.
44:24When we first met, I couldn't place where I'd seen your artwork before.
44:30I went online and did some searching, but none of it really connected.
44:38Then, at the gala, I saw your mural.
44:43And it clicked.
44:48My father was an artist.
44:51My father was at a hospital in Delaware.
44:56He did a mural there.
44:58It must have been one of your first.
45:02He mentioned it several times, and I remember wheeling him back to his ward one time.
45:08He pointed out the angel in the mural.
45:10He pointed out the angel in the mural.
45:14Your angel gave my father peace and tranquility in his final hours.
45:23She gave me peace.
45:27So you and I, we've been close even though we've never met.
45:33I'm the painter, but Sam was always the angel.
45:37Well, she brought us together, so she's my angel too.
45:42Yeah.
45:45I was so scared.
45:47You started working through your list.
45:51The closer we got, the more the idea of you dying engulfed me.
46:00I didn't know how to feel.
46:02But now I know.
46:03I know that I have fallen completely in love with you and your spirit.
46:10You've changed how I look at life and how precious our moments are here.
46:16Life's short.
46:18I don't want to waste any more time without you.
46:22Nate, I missed you so much.
46:25Nate, I missed you so much.
46:36I'm yours.
46:38If you'll have me.
46:40Having you here right now, hearing what you're saying,
46:44is giving me more strength than you could possibly imagine.
46:49But don't disappear on me again, please.
46:52I promise.
46:54I promise.
46:56I didn't mean to run away on you.
46:58That was just about my past.
47:00And letting go of old dreams so that I could restart.
47:04And make new ones.
47:06To look forward to the future.
47:11Yeah.
47:13The future.
47:18Sam wrote the bucket list.
47:23All the items on the list are things that she wanted for me.
47:28And I feel sad doing them because she...
47:31She never could.
47:33She wouldn't want you to feel sad.
47:37It's especially the last two.
47:40To fall in love and...
47:43get married.
47:45They break me because...
47:48she never got to meet her person.
47:52She never got to feel the way I feel about you.
47:57But she'd want you to feel that.
48:01Yeah.
48:03She would.
48:16I love you.
48:18I love your laugh and your smile.
48:20And your art and your passion.
48:23I love you too.
48:26I love you too.
48:30So...
48:32maybe...
48:34we could...
48:36make Creek Falls our home base.
48:39You could travel for your projects.
48:42I could travel for my projects.
48:44And we could get started on a combined list.
48:48What?
48:50Number one.
48:52Oh, looks like this one's just for me.
48:55Find the most beautiful girl in the world...
49:03and propose to her.
49:15Will you marry me?
49:18Yes!
49:24I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
49:27Living our very own best.
49:32I think Samantha would like that.
49:35I think she would love that.
49:48I love you.
50:19I love you.
50:27You know, with all the life I've seen come through these doors...
50:31weddings and christenings and celebration of family and friends...
50:35I have never seen so much love between two people.
50:39I know my John can see that, John.
50:49Hi.
50:57You may be seated.
51:02As tokens of their marriage, Nate and Vanessa have selected these rings.
51:10Nate, as you place this ring on Vanessa's finger, please repeat this vow.
51:15With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:20With this ring, I thee wed...
51:24and pledge my love.
51:27Vanessa, as you place this ring on Nate's finger, please repeat this vow.
51:33With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:39With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:42And pledge my love.
51:45Before these witnesses, I pronounce you, Nate, and you, Vanessa, husband and wife.
51:51You may kiss the bride.
