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