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