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.
01:23MUSIC
01:36Stop it!
01:37It's OK, I'm OK.
01:41I just tried to do too much today.
01:44I'm OK.
01:52This totally feels like old times.
02:07Yeah.
02:08The Creek Falls Project came along at just the right time.
02:11I needed to get away.
02:12Too many memories of Taylor and I in Boston.
02:16I was sorry to hear that you two split.
02:23This is just not my night.
02:38No.
02:40Hi, can I have a large orange juice please?
02:43Thanks.
02:54Um, I'm ready for round two. You want another?
03:02Hey.
03:05The 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.
03:17Nothing good ever comes of that.
03:20Sorry, that was uncalled for.
03:23I see.
03:25Honestly, I haven't been feeling quite myself.
03:28I thought I'd stop by for a minute and rehydrate after a big class.
03:33You seem a little bit tired.
03:35Uh, Wallace and I will probably call it a night before too long if you'd like a ride home.
03:38Oh, 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.
03:48Okay.
03:51Understood?
03:52I'm the 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.
04:20I'm not too far, just up by the inn.
04:23Yeah, no problem. I know it.
04:25Uh, so, aside from being a mural painter and a tango dancer,
04:31what else is there to know about Vanessa Brent?
04:33Not much to tell.
04:35I'm out on the road a lot, on commissions, so I don't really have a home base.
04:40Although my rabbit keeps me grounded.
04:43Wherever he is, that's home.
04:46What about a home base?
04:48Everybody needs a home.
04:52I 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.
05:05Well, I could take you for a ride sometime if you wanted.
05:07You 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.
05:27I had a minor life disruption, so I'm back to regroup and work on the hospital.
05:35So you live here now?
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.
05:48Good night.
05:52Bye.
06:18Now, remission isn't something we can give guarantees on, but this is what we do know.
06:49I hope I'm not bothering you.
06:53I brought a peace offering.
06:55It's barbecue from my favorite place.
06:57Can I bring it in?
06:59Fortunately, your favorite place's barbecue smells delicious.
07:04So I won't send you and your food home.
07:06I'm tired, but I'm also starving.
07:09I guess I'm lucky I caught you hungry.
07:12Lucky is as lucky does.
07:14Nate, 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.
07:24He'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.
07:32He's vegetarian.
07:33Vegan, actually.
07:36The art I create will live on.
07:39I'll live the best.
07:42Capture a moment in time and someone 20 years from now will get joy from seeing it for the first time.
07:49See, that's exactly how I feel about my builds.
07:52You know, it's like I'm a part of them.
07:56Do you have pictures of any of your buildings?
07:58Yeah, a few.
08:06This is from a few months ago.
08:08It's an apartment complex.
08:10Look at the lines.
08:11Very mature.
08:13I like the materials you used.
08:15It's very modern.
08:41See you tomorrow.
08:44Definitely.
08:46Good night, Nate.
08:48Night.
09:11Shit.
09:25Vanessa?
09:28Vanessa?
09:30You forgot your purse.
09:34Vanessa?
09:38Vanessa?
09:56Hey, you.
09:59Hey, you.
10:02I went out cold, right?
10:04Yeah.
10:07I hate that on a third date.
10:13No more jokes.
10:18It's time to come clean, then.
10:21It's time.
10:24What 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.
11:02It doesn't feel like living.
11:04It feels like running away.
11:06Fair enough, but it's my life.
11:20Then I'll leave you to it.
11:31Wow.
11:36I can't believe it.
11:37You've really captured the spirit of Creek Falls.
11:40It's peaceful and welcoming, and you're not even finished.
11:44Thanks, Carolyn.
11:46That means a lot to me.
11:56Hey, Carolyn.
11:57Hey.
11:59Vanessa.
12:01Hi.
12:02Can I talk to you for a minute?
12:04Sure, if you like.
12:06Nice to see you, Nate.
12:07You too.
12:13Glad to see you back at work.
12:17You really scared me.
12:20I'm sorry.
12:21I wasn't up to talking the other day.
12:25What you saw is a byproduct of the medication I have to take to make sure I can keep working on my list.
12:32So you want me to stop worrying about you?
12:34Yes.
12:37What if I want to spend more time with you?
12:39Well, we can keep having fun together and work on my list.
12:49Well, I did get a peek at that list, and there is something special I think I could help with.
12:55Why don't I pick you up after lunch, and we take the afternoon off?
13:00Sounds like a plan.
13:03I know.
13:17Right on time.
13:18Yes, being on time can be a bit of a curse, but today it's working for me.
13:23So are you ready to go?
13:24Pretty much.
13:27So, what's the surprise?
13:29Today I am the one with the secrets.
13:32Now, are you sure you don't need a secret consultant? Because I have years of experience.
13:36Yeah, I think I 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?
13:47Psych.
13:51Are we going hiking? Because I have sails on.
13:53Nope, not even close.
13:54Hot air ballooning?
13:55No.
13:56Paris. You're taking me to Paris.
13:59Okay, now do I get to see the surprise?
14:02Patience is a virtue.
14:04This task feels like luxury.
14:08Ta-da.
14:14Fireflies.
14:22Look.
14:26Beautiful.
14:42When 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.
14:55Monarch butterflies go on these incredible journeys where they migrate for thousands of miles.
15:01That kind of sounds like my journey.
15:04Well, I'm just glad that your journey brought you here.
15:10So, 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.
15:38How do you 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, you know?
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?
16:27I sure am.
16:35Now, I would like to share with you one of my very favorite things.
16:39Oh.
16:42How did you?
16:44What?
16:46This is a peanut butter and mayo sandwich.
16:50Mayo?
16:51Mm-hmm, I know.
16:52You're a little kooky, Nate Dalton.
16:54I prefer fun-loving.
16:56Hmm, okay.
17:01I know.
17:02Here we go.
17:05It's really good.
17:07Yeah, it's weird and satisfying.
17:11I invented this when I was eight.
17:13No, you did not.
17:14Really?
17:15It caused a stir in my school.
17:22A shooting star.
17:23Make a wish.
17:32Let me guess.
17:34You wish to finish your list.
17:38What do you wish for?
17:41For you to be okay.
17:46I want you to be okay.
17:47Are you okay?
17:48I'm okay.
17:49I told you I could take care of myself.
17:56I just don't think it concerns you.
18:04I want it to concern me.
18:10I'm just not ready, Nate.
18:16You shine brighter than the stars.
18:20And you know your butterflies.
18:24I love that those butterflies made you so happy.
18:29You're freezing.
18:31Let's get you home and lay out.
18:32No, I like it out here.
18:36It's peaceful.
18:39Five more minutes?
18:41Five more minutes.
18:57So, what's next?
19:00Riding wild stallions, bareback?
19:02What else is on the list?
19:04There's rock climbing.
19:07I know a good place for rocks.
19:09You should 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.
19:42What do you think?
19:44Can we trust him?
19:48I like him too.
19:51Maybe.
19:52Just maybe.
19:53We can cross the last two items on the list one day.
19:58Maybe.
20:08Smells good.
20:09No early risers?
20:10They'll be down in a few minutes.
20:12How was the social?
20:14Any 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.
20:28I had a nice visit with Joyce.
20:31Her nephew is coming to visit next month.
20:34Of course he is.
20:35And all my friends want to know how your children's ward is coming along.
20:39Well, it isn't exactly mine.
20:41But you can tell them that I'm drafting the last couple of changes.
20:45They're going in for approvals.
20:47Yeah, we're nearly done.
20:48It's all pretty positive.
20:49Great.
20:50That's what I assumed.
20:53And how are you and Vanessa?
20:58I'm your mother.
21:00I see the way you two look at each other.
21:02She's a lovely person.
21:04Share.
21:06Well, uh, the mural is gorgeous.
21:11It's perfect for the kids.
21:14She just, she really seems to care.
21:17I tell it with every brush stroke.
21:19The way she teaches the children.
21:24So this is a relationship then?
21:27Uh, I don't know.
21:30She's very private.
21:32I saw her covering up some bandages from some blood tests.
21:37I don't know what's going on with her, but she doesn't want to tell me.
21:41And I can't have another relationship filled with secrets.
21:44Not after Taylor.
21:46Vanessa isn't like that.
21:48You two are good for each other.
21:49You lift each other up.
21:50Yeah, maybe, but what if?
21:53You need to let yourself heal from Taylor.
21:56And 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?
22:10Sweetheart, 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.
22:45I, I thought we wanted to have children together.
22:50I guess she just didn't want to have children with me.
22:57You know, sometimes things happen for a reason.
22:59It's only been a few months.
23:01She's already pregnant with somebody's baby?
23:04Yeah, I would have made a great father.
23:06And you will be when the time is right.
23:08Exactly.
23:09Never.
23:10Ready to convince me to take the day off, Nate?
23:15I can't do this.
23:17What?
23:18Nate!
23:19Nate!
23:23He's angry with someone else, not with you.
23:25Not one day has gone by in these last few weeks that Nate hasn't smiled from ear to ear because of you.
23:31There is no way.
23:32No, there is every way he wouldn't want this.
23:39I don't blame him.
23:57Sam.
24:03I have done it all.
24:06I've done silly things on your list.
24:09I have done the dangerous things on the list.
24:15But the last two, Sam.
24:18To love and be loved and to get married.
24:23I don't know.
24:25I have opened up my heart.
24:30You know how hard it is for me to do that.
24:33But I really try.
24:37The 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 have 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.
25:27I just...
25:29I just need to rest.
25:30Please adjust.
25:32I need to...
25:33Need to rest.
25:58You have knocked it out 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.
26:35Are 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.
26:46Well, they'll find you a place to live and they 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 you living?
27:02You need money to live too, right?
27:05I have my own needs.
27:08And art raises the spirits.
27:11No matter how dire your situation.
27:14I focus on serene colors so that the kids that come in here can feel comfort and light.
27:21You need to feel the peace and the hope that art can inspire.
27:26I want my art to make you feel better without you even knowing why.
27:33I should stop chatting and keep painting if I'm going to finish this on time for the gala.
27:38Let the Vermont Hospital know you agreed to do their mural.
27:40Thanks, Wallace.
27:46Over 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.
28:01I'm glad to see my son's absence isn't a drain on you.
28:06It's hurting me more than I want to admit, Iris.
28:10I can't wallow in it.
28:11I have to finish the mural in time for the gala.
28:14Will you stay after the gala?
28:17I don't think so.
28:19I got a job in Vermont.
28:20I'll be painting the mural of the hospital there.
28:23Wallace is project managing.
28:26You're moving to Vermont?
28:27Mm-hmm.
28:29All the fresh air and the fresh dairy, it'll be fun.
28:33All good points, but will you tell Nate?
28:38Well, he's not exactly around to tell.
28:41I haven't seen him. Have you?
28:43His boss called him back on a project up in Boston that was erupting like a volcano.
28:48Apparently he's been spending too much time here and the other projects suffered.
28:52Well, that's that.
28:56I'm glad he's getting his priorities in order.
28:59You are exactly what he needs right now.
29:02If 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.
29:18I'll talk to you later.
29:28Yeah, so he just left for Boston.
29:31I still can't believe he just left.
29:33Well, his boss needed him back on a project, apparently.
29:35Sure, his work.
29:38He came back for the weekend, right?
29:41You didn't hear me. Nate left, period.
29:47Here you go, buddy.
29:49Sorry, I dropped it.
29:51That's okay.
29:53I 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.
30:08I'm waiting.
30:10Waiting for what?
30:12For you to say that you'll fight for him.
30:14I have done enough fighting for my life.
30:16In, in my life.
30:18I'm kind of over it.
30:20But I saw the way he looked at you the other day when he dropped by and he barely knew you then.
30:24Will 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 and was always there for me.
31:01Excuse me.
31:04Vanessa?
31:21Nothing came up on your MRI.
31:23And your blood work markers look really good.
31:28Looks like you're just going to need routine blood work once a year.
31:32Once a year?
31:34Oh, wow.
31:36So 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.
32:02You're so welcome.
32:04Good luck, Vanessa.
32:06Go live your life to the fullest.
32:08I will.
32:20Lucky, you are looking at a future top chef.
32:24Or maybe a future Nobel Peace Prize winner.
32:30Future?
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.
33:11Hey, thanks for calling.
33:13I was feeling a little at loose ends with myself with Nate being gone again.
33:17Yeah.
33:19I'm glad we can go to the gala together.
33:21Me too.
33:23Life's too short to wait for anyone.
33:26You know it.
33:28I know it.
33:30I know it.
33:32I know it.
33:34I know it.
33:36I know it.
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, all right. We're on.
34:00All right, you ready?
34:02Yeah.
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.
34:30You'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?
34:57You 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.
35:25I haven't heard from him.
35:27Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. That's really unlike him.
35:30I was blindsided. I left my heart out there.
35:35Open.
35:37I'm so confused about men now.
35:39Don't let Nate discourage you.
35:42There are a lot of decent guys. There is someone for you.
35:47You're right. I'll meet my soulmate out on the open road.
35:50That's very profound.
35:52But tonight we celebrate.
35:55Oh, I'm going to get us more champagne.
36:03Vanessa.
36:04Wallace.
36:06You'll be pleased to know that all your laboring has paid off.
36:09Everyone loves the mural.
36:13You should be proud.
36:15Thank you. I am really proud of my work.
36:18But I'm also really proud to be a part of this journey.
36:21It's quite an amazing journey.
36:23Yeah. I'm very grateful.
36:33I came to dance.
36:35I would love to dance.
36:40You know, you still owe me that tango.
36:42I do, I do.
36:43Yeah, you do.
36:44You're a very good dancer.
36:47Is that me?
36:48Nate!
36:57Hey.
36:58Hey, Wallace.
37:00Nate?
37:05Excuse me.
37:08The mural is spectacular.
37:11It is.
37:14The mural is spectacular.
37:17Congratulations.
37:19Thanks.
37:23There's your signature angel.
37:28She's always there when someone needs strength.
37:32The work is so famous.
37:34Why don't you just sign it with your own name?
37:38I don't paint murals in hospitals for attention, Nate.
37:42I don't do it for money.
37:44I do it to comfort the patients and their families and caregivers.
37:49To give them hope when there's darkness.
37:52To remind them that they're loved and they're not alone.
37:57So, you're leaving?
38:00Tomorrow.
38:08I'm going to go find Carol.
38:10No, please, Vanessa.
38:13I know what I'm doing.
38:15I know what I'm doing.
38:17I know what I'm doing.
38:19I know what I'm doing.
38:21I know what I'm doing.
38:24I know I don't deserve it after my little vanishing act,
38:28but I would love the opportunity to give you an explanation.
38:39Okay.
38:41Okay.
38:47When I found out Taylor was pregnant,
38:51it really messed me up.
38:57I had been wanting a family for so long,
39:01and she had been resistant to that idea.
39:06And I realize now that she just didn't want to have a family with me.
39:15I had to come to terms with that.
39:20I wasn't the right person for her.
39:23But more importantly, she wasn't the right person for me either.
39:29Vanessa, you have opened me up to living life fully.
39:36And my life doesn't feel full without you in it.
39:41You are my person, Vanessa.
39:45Look, I hear you.
39:50I just don't think I'm that important to you.
39:54Nate, I let you in and you just left without an explanation.
39:57You just left me here alone.
39:59I made a mistake. I understand that.
40:01I was just so confused about the list and the pills.
40:05But while I was away, I came to understand
40:08that it doesn't matter how much time we have.
40:11Just that we get to spend it together.
40:18Time is so precious.
40:25I just don't know if I want to invest it in someone who's broken my trust.
40:36I'm sorry, Nate.
40:39I'm sorry, Nate.
40:54It's open!
41:02Hey, Vanessa.
41:05Mind if I come in?
41:07Well, you own the place, so sure.
41:21Can we sit?
41:37Sure.
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.
42:35But I was only trying to protect myself.
42:39And Samantha.
42:42Who is Samantha?
42:45I've heard you mention her. Was she your grandmother?
42:50No, she's not my grandmother.
42:57She's my guardian angel.
43:00And 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.
43:22And yet she spent all her strength trying to help me.
43:28But that's the strength I see in you every day.
43:32That's the life that we see in your murals.
43:38After she died, I started to get better and I went into remission.
43:46Your pills.
43:48I thought that you were dying and that's what you couldn't share with me.
43:54No. The pills were to help me rebuild my immune system after years of treatments.
44:01I was in remission, but the doctors weren't ready to give me a clean bill of health.
44:07That's the news I got yesterday.
44:13And I wasn't here to share that with you.
44:19I'm so sorry.
44:20It's okay.
44:24There's something else that I haven't shared.
44:29When we first met, I couldn't place where I'd seen your artwork before.
44:35I went online and did some searching, but none of it really connected.
44:43Then, at the gala, I saw your mural.
44:47And it clicked.
44:53My father was at a hospital in Delaware.
44:58He did a mural there.
45:00It must have been one of your first.
45:04He mentioned it several times and I remember wheeling him back to his ward one time.
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, yeah.
45:46I was so scared.
45:48We started working through your list.
45:52The closer we got, the more the idea of you dying engulfed me.
46:00I didn't know how to feel, but now I know.
46:06I know that I have fallen completely in love with you and your spirit.
46:13You've changed how I look at life and how precious our moments are here.
46:19Life's short. I don't want to waste any more time without you.
46:25Nate, I missed you so much.
46:36I'm yours, if you'll have me.
46:40Having you here right now, hearing what you're saying,
46:44it's giving me more strength than you could possibly imagine.
46:49But don't disappear on me again, please.
46:53I promise, I promise.
46:55I didn't mean to run away on you.
46:58That was just about my past and letting go of old dreams
47:02so that I could restart and make new ones
47:07to look forward to the future.
47:10Yeah, the future.
47:17Sam wrote the bucket list.
47:22All the items on the list are things that she wanted for me.
47:26And I feel sad doing them because she never could.
47:31She wouldn't want you to feel sad.
47:35It's especially the last two.
47:37To fall in love and get married.
47:42They break me because she never got to meet her person.
47:48Never got to feel the way I feel about you.
47:53But she'd want you to feel that.
47:57Yeah. Yeah, she would.
48:08Yeah.
48:15I love you.
48:17I love your laugh and your smile and your art and your passion.
48:22I love you too.
48:26I love you too.
48:28I love you too.
48:31So, maybe we could make Creek Falls our home base.
48:39You could travel for your projects.
48:41I could travel for my projects.
48:44And we could get started on a combined list.
48:49What?
48:51Number 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?
49:18Yeah. Yes.
49:24I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
49:28Living our very own best.
49:33I think Samantha would like that.
49:35I think she would love that.
49:54I love you.
50:25You know, with all the life I've seen come through these doors,
50:29weddings and christenings and celebration of family and friends,
50:34I have never seen so much love between two people.
50:38I know my John can see that, John.
50:55You may be seated.
51:01As tokens of their marriage, Nate and Vanessa have selected these rings.
51:09Nate, 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.
51:34With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:39With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:45Before these witnesses, I pronounce you, Nate, and you, Vanessa, husband and wife.
51:51You may kiss the bride.
