00:00:00I've never been to Lake Tahoe before.
00:00:11You'll love it.
00:00:15This is your family's summer home?
00:00:17Yeah, it was my grandparents' place and they willed it to my parents.
00:00:21We'd spend every summer here growing up.
00:00:24I loved it. My parents renovated it a couple of years ago.
00:00:28But no one lives here right now?
00:00:29Not year round. I called my mom and she said we could come and dust it off.
00:00:39Feel free to call me to dust this place off any time.
00:00:41I know. I barely recognize it.
00:00:44I don't think I've been here since before my freshman year in college.
00:00:49Wow, has it been that long?
00:00:51Do your parents come here often?
00:00:53Uh, not as much as they used to.
00:00:55I think they rented out here and there.
00:00:57Hey, uh, who's that?
00:01:03Uh...
00:01:07I don't know.
00:01:09No one else should be here.
00:01:11Maybe he's the gardener?
00:01:17Uh, excuse me, can I ask what...
00:01:21Riley?
00:01:23Eden.
00:01:24So, not the gardener.
00:01:28It's great to see you.
00:01:32Yeah, you too.
00:01:34I wasn't expecting you here.
00:01:36Well, I noticed there was a problem with one of the sprinkler lines and wasn't getting enough water to the area so I thought I'd come over and see if I could fix it.
00:01:43Well, that's nice of you, thanks.
00:01:45Uh, hi, I'm Kate, Eden's friend.
00:01:48Hi, Riley.
00:01:49Oh, yeah.
00:01:50Uh, Riley's parents own the cabin next door so we would see each other every summer.
00:01:55So, uh, what brings you here?
00:01:58Uh, well, I needed a break.
00:02:01You don't understand our product.
00:02:03We won't be using this.
00:02:05Are you firing me?
00:02:07No, no, I just...
00:02:11I want you to take a break, though.
00:02:13Take a week or two off, recharge, figure out what you need, and then come back fired up.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:23Uh, what about you?
00:02:24Uh, you're living here?
00:02:26Uh, well, Dad got tired of the winters, so he moved to Arizona.
00:02:30And I took over the cabin, started a business.
00:02:33That's great!
00:02:34Uh, what kind of business?
00:02:35Hot air balloons.
00:02:37You sell them?
00:02:39Uh, no.
00:02:40No, I, uh, do hot air balloon rides around here.
00:02:43Oh, that's certainly different.
00:02:45It's a work in progress.
00:02:47I'll let you get settled.
00:02:48Uh, it was great to see you.
00:02:51Yeah, you too.
00:02:52It's nice to meet you, Kate.
00:02:54And, uh, sorry about the, uh...
00:02:56Oh, no, that's, that's fine.
00:02:57Thank you for doing that.
00:02:58No, no problem.
00:02:59I'll just, uh, be a few more minutes here with the...
00:03:02Thanks.
00:03:03Yeah, well, uh, I'll see you around.
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:07Okay.
00:03:10See ya.
00:03:11So, Riley seems nice.
00:03:13Did you see him a lot here?
00:03:14I did.
00:03:15How do you remember how we became friends?
00:03:18I think it was convenience.
00:03:20He was next door when we came here in the summer,
00:03:22and he became my default friend.
00:03:24Hmm.
00:03:25Only a friend?
00:03:26Yeah, why do you ask?
00:03:28Just a vibe I got...
00:03:35It's Michael.
00:03:36Hi!
00:03:37Hey!
00:03:38Did you and Kate make it all right?
00:03:39We did.
00:03:40Hi, Michael.
00:03:41Hi.
00:03:42So how is it?
00:03:44Uh, so far so good.
00:03:45Good.
00:03:46Hey, I hate to ask you so soon, but when do you think you're coming back?
00:03:50Ah, miss me already?
00:03:52I certainly do.
00:03:53The water is gorgeous.
00:03:54Isn't it?
00:03:55Fuck you.
00:03:56The water is gorgeous.
00:04:20Isn't it?
00:04:21Look at you.
00:04:22Coming here each year.
00:04:23I'm surprised you stayed away.
00:04:24It wasn't on purpose, just work, life, you know.
00:04:30How are you feeling about work?
00:04:32Conflicted.
00:04:33How so?
00:04:34Part of me feels, what's the word, annoyed that they're questioning my work.
00:04:41And the other part?
00:04:43I know it wasn't my best work.
00:04:47Lately I care, but I don't enjoy it.
00:04:51I don't know, maybe I'm, maybe I'm relieved.
00:04:54I thought you liked it there.
00:04:56I don't know.
00:04:57I didn't even really think about it until Reese benched me.
00:05:01Well, it'll be fine when you get back after you have had time to recharge.
00:05:05But it's not my decision.
00:05:07Reese seems supportive about me coming back, but only if I'm back on my game.
00:05:13Sometimes I wonder what else I could have tried.
00:05:20I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking it.
00:05:23Why can't work just be work?
00:05:25Well, it depends on what you want from it.
00:05:27You know, a simple paycheck, or do you want some fulfillment?
00:05:30That's the real question, isn't it?
00:05:32Come on.
00:05:33Let's go try the water.
00:05:34Okay.
00:05:35This was my favorite hangout spot in town.
00:05:39I'd always get the milkshake.
00:05:40Mmm.
00:05:41That sounds really good right now.
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43Hello.
00:05:44Mr. Weber.
00:05:45There's a familiar face.
00:05:46Eden Clark.
00:05:47That's right.
00:05:48You're finally back.
00:05:49Oh, just for a little bit.
00:05:50Who's this?
00:05:51This is Kate.
00:05:52I'm showing her Tahoe.
00:05:53And I was just wondering if you're going to come back.
00:05:55I don't know.
00:05:56I don't know.
00:05:57I don't know.
00:05:58I don't know.
00:05:59I don't know.
00:06:00I'm showing her Tahoe.
00:06:01And I was just telling her that this was my favorite place.
00:06:04Oh, thank you.
00:06:05It's a pleasure to meet you, Kate.
00:06:07You too.
00:06:08Go ahead and order something.
00:06:10Of course, I know what she likes.
00:06:12Chocolate brownie milkshake.
00:06:13Oh, that's because of the homemade brownies you put in it.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:17And how about you, Kate?
00:06:19Um, I'll try your cookie dough shank.
00:06:22Mmm.
00:06:23Ah, sensible choice.
00:06:25You know, Eden, I hope you stick around this time.
00:06:28I'm starting to miss all the old timers.
00:06:31I've become a rare breed.
00:06:34Well, I'll try to come often while I'm here.
00:06:37I'm going to hold you to that.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:40Why don't you go ahead and go in there and have a seat, and I'll bring your order up.
00:06:43Okay.
00:06:44Okay?
00:06:46Thanks.
00:06:47Finding everything you need?
00:06:48I thought you didn't like salad.
00:06:49Uh, well, that's when I was 12.
00:06:50It's not so bad now.
00:06:51Ah.
00:06:52I see.
00:06:53You, uh, still love bananas?
00:06:54Allergic now.
00:06:55No.
00:06:56Yeah.
00:06:57It was a sad day when I had to give those up.
00:06:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:59You know, I was surprised that you're still living here.
00:07:01I'd have thought when you were old enough, you'd leave and conquer the world.
00:07:02Well, in fairness, I did leave and try a slice of life somewhere else, but then I came back.
00:07:08Well, I'm happy to see you again.
00:07:09Uh, how long are you in town?
00:07:10Uh, a few weeks.
00:07:11It's a bit fluid.
00:07:12Right, so you'll, uh, relax, read a book, swim, shop, and go to the beach.
00:07:13Yeah.
00:07:14I'm sorry.
00:07:15I'm sorry.
00:07:16You know, I was surprised that you're still living here.
00:07:17I'd have thought when you were old enough, you'd leave and conquer the world.
00:07:19Well, in fairness, I did leave and try a slice of life somewhere else, but then I came
00:07:24back.
00:07:25Well, I'm happy to see you again.
00:07:28Uh, how long are you in town?
00:07:31Uh, a few weeks.
00:07:33It's a bit fluid.
00:07:34Right, so you'll, uh, relax, read a book, swim, shop, go to the beach.
00:07:37A swim, shop.
00:07:39That all sounds perfect.
00:07:41Oh, and hiking.
00:07:43You know what you have to do while you're here.
00:07:45What?
00:07:46You gotta go to our spot.
00:07:47Our spot?
00:07:48The Overlook.
00:07:50Oh.
00:07:52We should go together.
00:07:54And you can show your friend, too.
00:07:56I'm sure she'd love it.
00:07:57What do you think?
00:07:59Let's do it.
00:08:02So what's so special about this Overlook?
00:08:05Uh, well, uh, we'd go there every summer.
00:08:08It was tradition.
00:08:09We?
00:08:10You and?
00:08:11Riley and me.
00:08:12Oh.
00:08:13So, you'd just hike there?
00:08:15It's a really pretty hike.
00:08:18And?
00:08:19And?
00:08:20And?
00:08:21It's where we had our first kiss.
00:08:25Wait, what?
00:08:30Eden, Kate, come on.
00:08:35Oh, wow.
00:08:36I need to get out more.
00:08:38How are your feet?
00:08:39Forgotten.
00:08:40Worth it?
00:08:41Just as I remembered.
00:08:42So, Kate, what do you do?
00:08:43Uh, I'm a hair stylist.
00:08:44That sounds fancy.
00:08:45I cut and style hair.
00:08:46It's really not.
00:08:47But hot air balloons sound amazing.
00:08:48That's what you do, right?
00:08:49Yeah.
00:08:50That must do well here.
00:08:51I mean, what a great view of the lake, right?
00:08:52Well, it's, uh, you'd think, but, uh, it's been a bit of a slow start.
00:08:54Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:55So, Kate, what do you do?
00:08:56Uh, I'm a hair stylist.
00:08:58That sounds fancy.
00:09:00I cut and style hair.
00:09:02It's really not.
00:09:03But hot air balloons sound amazing.
00:09:05That's what you do, right?
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07That must do well here.
00:09:09I mean, what a great view of the lake, right?
00:09:12Well, it's, uh, you'd think, but, uh, it's been a bit of a slow start.
00:09:16You know, it's a little pricey, so it's difficult for the casual or budget-minded tourists.
00:09:22But it's Tahoe.
00:09:23People come here to vacation and burn cash.
00:09:26Well, people come here, hike like we did, and see the view.
00:09:31Maybe that's enough.
00:09:32You don't believe that, do you?
00:09:34It's a hot air balloon.
00:09:36It's unique.
00:09:37Yeah, well, I can only run tours early in the morning or in the early evening if I'm lucky.
00:09:44So I'm starting to think maybe I should get another job to live on while I keep this as a side job.
00:09:50Well, why don't you add more tours?
00:09:52Well, the temperature affects how well we can rise, and then there's the wind which picks up throughout the day.
00:09:57That's tricky.
00:09:58Yeah.
00:09:59Yeah.
00:10:00It is fun, though.
00:10:01You both should come see it for yourselves.
00:10:04You mean in the air?
00:10:06Yeah.
00:10:07That'd be fun.
00:10:08You're gonna open your eyes at all?
00:10:23How far off the ground are we?
00:10:25Well, why don't you take a look for yourself?
00:10:27Just give me a number.
00:10:2825?
00:10:29Feet?
00:10:30More like yards, but it's not that high.
00:10:34You aren't kidding.
00:10:35Are you seeing the lake?
00:10:36Are you, like, steering us over there?
00:10:37I'm doing my best, yeah.
00:10:38Okay, well, where's the wheel or whatever?
00:10:39This doesn't really work like that, but it's okay.
00:10:40Trust me, I'll get us there.
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:42Okay.
00:10:43All right.
00:10:44All these years coming here, I've never seen it like this.
00:10:46I have fond memories of this place, but this?
00:10:49This is the best.
00:10:51Well, then you're gonna love this.
00:10:54all these years coming here i've never seen it like this
00:11:02i have fond memories of this place but this
00:11:06this is the best well then you're gonna love this hey kate hang on what are we falling
00:11:16oh wow
00:11:20and this is the less impressive side of my little company here i can help just set them
00:11:33down over there how long have you been in business uh almost a year what's your favorite part
00:11:39about it floating in the balloon just above the lake's surface i don't think there's anything
00:11:47more peaceful it's pure serenity what's the worst part
00:11:53what why i work in marketing and it sounds like you need more customers and this experience
00:12:08is amazing it should nearly sell itself if enough people try it out but you're here on vacation
00:12:13i could use an opportunity to sharpen up my skills
00:12:17people can't even tell you're here
00:12:21most people just call so i give them directions but you're on main street and there's lots of
00:12:27traffic this building can be an advertisement it sounds expensive well we don't have to do
00:12:32anything crazy this place can work for you i just don't know if it'll make a difference well what have
00:12:38you done advertising wise you know poster here and there around town and i have a website too
00:12:43we can do more if you'll let me help you sure you want to get into this i want to help you
00:12:51all right sure okay well so much for relaxing it almost pains me though i can see he can do more
00:13:03and make his business succeed i how can i ignore that i guess you really do like marketing i just
00:13:09want him to succeed okay so how do you plan to help well for starters he could use some more photos
00:13:17and video on his website especially of that view and the balloon launching
00:13:24i bet we can get some social media buzz going too with some simple ads i know he's nervous about
00:13:29spending a lot but i know some easy stuff that will get the ball rolling
00:13:38he definitely needs a sign for his warehouse
00:13:40is that going to be enough though
00:13:49you know how you always see a gazillion tour brochures when you stay at a hotel
00:13:53no i don't travel much well guests look through those and plan out activities for their stay
00:13:59we just need to get them to see riley's hot air taco
00:14:14oh i so owe you no you don't yes i do this is amazing well i'm glad you like it you can still make
00:14:21changes i didn't want to put in a big order until you saw it in real life it's perfect let's print it
00:14:27great and then let me take you out to dinner riley you don't serious thank you dinner's the least i can
00:14:37thank you
00:14:40so you never told me why you're taking a break from work
00:14:43oh that unless you don't want to talk about it oh no it's not horrible or anything but my boss
00:14:52told me to take some time off so i could come back and be better at my job ouch sorry you asked
00:15:00from what i've seen you're great at your job i used to be i think that this was easier because the
00:15:07stakes were more important than say selling sandals well hot air balloons are a lot cooler than
00:15:13sandals so i get it do you like marketing i thought i did you told me that flying airplanes
00:15:23lost its appeal for you i guess we all change maybe you haven't changed as much as i would have thought
00:15:32no no i still see the same girl next door same girl that would steal my shoes off the porch if i

00:21:58what's michael then he's wonderful supportive grown up don't you think yeah yeah i agree
00:22:11then what's the problem nothing
00:22:14okay let's just enjoy the trip here okay

00:22:31this is a good one thanks enjoy
00:22:41thanks for letting me put this up yeah have a nice day you too
00:23:02you beat me here well i figured mr weber would be very supportive he says you owe him
00:23:28so you finished then yep you pretty much i wonder how long it's going to take for us to see if this
00:23:35is working i do have some online ads scheduled to start running i should probably check on those stats
00:23:40oh calm down it'll be fine i haven't been this anxious about an ad campaign's performance in a long
00:23:46time i doubt that i'm serious i want this to go well for you well relax the rest is out of your hands
00:23:53in fact maybe it's time maybe it's time you stop thinking about work i need work
00:24:02ow
00:24:04oh just like old times yep
00:24:18i love the sunset over the lake yeah don't get that back home huh no
00:24:31sometimes i come down here by myself but it's not the same it's probably quieter
00:24:38quiet's overrated never gets this quiet back home you could always come back here i guess so
00:24:49should come back here more often i've missed this me too
00:24:55did you ever think about the last time you were here
00:25:01you went on that gondola yeah i remember my stomach didn't like it yeah i i was worried about
00:25:09that with the hot air balloon ride i wasn't sure if it was a heights thing it's more of a
00:25:14rocking back and forth thing oh and then afterwards we went on that hike
00:25:20to our favorite spot it was overcast that day but i was determined to go
00:25:28really wanted to see how you felt about me we kissed i thought about that for a while
00:25:37me too and then i went home and i wrote you a letter you did yeah well i i never sent it
00:25:49it but i thought about you what did the letter say oh you know come on tell me
00:25:58uh i wrote that i
00:26:00i wish that i lived here and not so far away so that i could see you more
00:26:09i've missed you too
00:26:21and i've wished every time i've come out onto this dock that i could see you more often
00:26:26you kissed him does that make me a horrible person well no of course not but you do need to come
00:26:45clean what why because he deserves to know do you mean riley or michael both
00:26:53yes we kissed but it was a spur of the moment thing i'm with michael and riley is what what is he
00:27:04a nice memory it can't lead anywhere do you want it to
00:27:11okay look you you're all conflicted about should you have or should you not have kissed him but
00:27:16the fact is you did you don't know what you want i didn't say that and that's fine but you can't move
00:27:23forward unless you let go of riley or michael i i don't have anything figured out and i'm more
00:27:33confused than when i got here and i still don't know what's going on with my job and i i'm a mess no
00:27:39you're not but if you don't figure it out you will be hey oh hey mr weber called for you he did yeah
00:27:49he said it was an urgent freezer emergency and he was calling in a favor i've got things here under
00:27:53control if you want to go and see him all right have you seen much of your neighbor lately we've been
00:28:03spending some time together you ought to take her on a proper date i mean all i hear is people hanging
00:28:12out together and i know never knew where that saying came from it it's like a bunch of monkeys hanging
00:28:18from a tree well it's less risky that way nothing risked nothing gained i always thought you two
00:28:28suited well we never really took that step our lives went in different directions and ended up right back
00:28:35here well for now it's temporary well i suppose you don't want it to be temporary do you you better get
00:28:44with it you fixed it is that what it usually sounds like yeah okay then
00:28:56reese what do you want on my forced time off
00:29:03i hope you're enjoying your break could use your perspective on a project when you get a moment
00:29:08i'm looking forward to having you back
00:29:22eden hi hi am i interrupting um i have a few minutes how are you i'm okay
00:29:30uh-oh uh i guess it's good reese just emailed me sounds like he wants me back fantastic yeah
00:29:41so are you coming back sooner i'm trying to decide it's been nice out here oh i bet

00:29:55my company dinner right no problem i'll be back for it thanks hey and great news about reese i knew
00:30:02it all worked out yeah it's good i'll uh talk to you later thanks for calling okay bye bye
00:30:14i need to get out
00:30:15thanks for coming with me happy to i don't know when my parents got these this wasn't really a thing
00:30:29when we were kids you're making us sound old well i thought it was neat and i figured we're here so
00:30:35might as well try it well i'm glad you called me i think once you try this you're gonna get addicted
00:30:40you're never gonna want to go home speaking of home i got an email from my boss today and
00:30:50he wanted my input on some things isn't that good yeah i guess it is good it's good to be missed
00:30:59i'm finding i don't miss it at all maybe you should consider a career change
00:31:04oh that's too scary i did it so could you we're still flying you could still market but is that
00:31:13what you want to do it's not that i don't like marketing there's a thrill in it sometimes like a
00:31:23pride in it how so when i figure out the best way to make something great like a puzzle that i put
00:31:31together you do like marketing i think i miss it so what's wrong is it what you're working on
00:31:40i think it's easier to work on something you believe in that could be it well the way i see it
00:31:51you have three options i do yeah first one go back to your old unexciting job
00:31:59next option please second come work for me as a poorly paid marketer
00:32:07hey i'm all for you sticking around
00:32:12can't blame me for trying uh the third option
00:32:17do nothing just take your time you don't have to make a decision now or even next week
00:32:23i do have to make a choice eventually but when you're ready maybe after you've even had time to
00:32:31discover some new options
00:32:35you know uh if this hot air balloon thing doesn't work you could be a career advisor
00:32:42let's hope it doesn't come to that should we do this yep
00:32:45okay i think i got this oh now use your order to move yourself around
00:32:58this is cool right yeah so uh what's your secret trust yourself gee thanks and uh tighten your stomach
00:33:16supposedly it helps with balance okay
00:33:19okay so uh let me guess you do this every weekend no every other weekend
00:33:38hey what are you doing out here nothing really i'm just thinking about
00:33:50if i tell you you're just gonna lecture me i don't do that
00:33:57okay seriously i won't do that i promise
00:34:02riley kind of insinuated that he wants me to stay here wow gutsy is that even tempting
00:34:14it is it shouldn't be though right i have a life back home and a job sort of
00:34:26and what he's saying is a huge change and not just for job and home but relationship wise too i know
00:34:34it's crazy and michael is amazing supportive stable exactly
00:34:44why would i let that go maybe i just need to put this aside and enjoy the rest of my time here
00:34:51i it sounds like good advice but you still need to be careful not to hurt one of them
00:34:59or yourself okay
00:35:01and uh the cards expiration date all right you're all set for monday party of five
00:35:15the phone has not stopped ringing all morning we have every single day book for the next two weeks
00:35:25are you serious that's amazing your friend has really got things rolling here i'm gonna go get things prepped for tomorrow's tour
00:35:38so guess how many calls i got how many 33
00:35:52no actually it was more than that i lost count i haven't had to answer the phone that often
00:35:56ever but are people booking yeah that's the crazy thing i'm starting to wonder if we need to raise prices
00:36:02you probably could but maybe wait a bit i don't want this to be an initial rush with
00:36:07no continued traffic from customers look at you talking all business so what you're working on
00:36:13uh web ads what do you think it looks what legitimate well good because you are i feel professional
00:36:26and i'm not even doing any work you are and i'm gonna give you options that way you don't have to use
00:36:31the same ad all the time what for uh to change it up for seasons holiday stuff like that got it okay
00:36:42and there you go i don't know what i'm gonna do without you
00:36:46oh i think you'll do fine i'd rather not find out
00:36:50any chance you'll stay
00:36:57you can get anyone to help you with this and don't worry it's not like your business will lose out
00:37:03well it's not my business i'm worried about losing
00:37:06um so uh what are your plans for the rest of your stay yeah just a few more things to load up and
00:37:20should be all set great yeah i've got to get to bed early i've been used to sleeping in oh yeah well
00:37:25i'd say i'm sorry but no sleep means working a paycheck yeah i'll take it oh um eden mentioned we
00:37:32should do something to encourage customers to leave reviews yeah like a follow-up email or something
00:37:39or we could give away a free t-shirt for every good review i don't think bribery is the way to go
00:37:45uh i'll have to ask for some ideas on that well is she saying well i'd like her to but but what
00:37:51well too early to tell are you two dating too early to tell all right well sounds like you've got a

00:45:55good news we have two brand new clients under contract now castle vacuums and men floral air
00:46:13freshers right this is gonna be great for us they're eager to hit the ground running so let's
00:46:18get to work ASAP Bobby you take castle vacuums Eden you up for men floral absolutely excellent
00:46:27come in hey honey how was work today good did you cook ah no it's a new client product
00:46:44min floral air freshener min floral yeah I think it's because it's pure minerals added with floral
00:46:52scents at first I thought min meant mini but this isn't that small so interesting yeah so I wanted
00:47:00to plan out Friday's dinner oh what time does it start well for once I want to be early so are you
00:47:05okay if I pick you up at 5 30 I'll be ready okay what's the dress code I'm wearing a suit and a
00:47:12new tie a new tie okay I'll be sure not to embarrass you then oh thank you
00:47:42hey hey Riley how you doing good I just uh wanted to check on that freezer is it running all right
00:47:51ever since you fixed it it's got a few more years on it now thanks to you good so uh what can I get
00:47:58you uh nothing I was just passing by I thought I'd check in okay well how's that business doing I see
00:48:04your balloon floating around every morning yeah it's been popular lately good good so uh have you
00:48:12heard from Eden lately um no no not since she went back home well you could call her you know
00:48:18yeah I think she's moved on you know I'm in her past and uh that's okay as long as she's happy
00:48:29you're a good kid you know that are you nervous about the pitch no not really but maybe I should
00:48:42be because then I'd come across as excited about it well I'll admit our fishners are pretty dull
00:48:48yep could you ask Reese for a different assignment I was either this or vacuums oh wow
00:48:55mm-hmm yeah that's fine it's it's work right well you know you could still make a change
00:49:04what do you mean you know quit your job I can't you just you don't seem happy to be back
00:49:14and and maybe it's not just because of the job
00:49:18imagine you feel a migraine coming on the weight of the world constantly on your shoulders but
00:49:33whether you're at work or at home min floral can be a sanctuary and a shield let the natural mineral
00:49:43aromas lift your spirits invigorate your body ward off the stressors that come at you in every
00:49:52direction in an array of award-winning and inventive aromas min floral is the element missing to feel
00:50:04stronger and renewed mint floral mineral ingredients floral scents fresher life
00:50:15thank you
00:50:18I like it what type of ad campaigns do you see being most effective for min floral well the standard for
00:50:26the air freshener industry is print-based but I think that's outdated I want to get you on video
00:50:33for the coupon and shopping apps as well as targeted campaigns in the online and broadcast space targeted
00:50:41to your demographic of course I love it one question though I don't think the hot air balloon fit oh
00:50:47well we cannot leave that part out I was going for a parallel of open fresh air like when you're in a hot air balloon oh
00:51:09oh
00:51:11all ads will get you final approval before we run so don't worry about anything that seems out of place
00:51:17right
00:51:18if we hurry we can get this locked in now while adding notorious high I think we can negotiate better
00:51:24placements now rather than waiting for too long that sounds sensible
00:51:28you had me slightly worried with hot air balloon thing but you handled it great thanks there's a lot
00:51:36to do in a short time on min floral but I think you can do it if you're willing to put in some extra
00:51:39time and then I have a plant fertilizer client that I want to assign to you plant fertilizer the
00:51:46landscape and gardening industry's number three company they're aggressively trying to take the lead
00:51:50so I'll add that to your accounts actually maybe you should give that to someone else what do you mean
00:52:02I mean maybe you should give all my accounts to someone else
00:52:20hey hey
00:52:42I'm so sorry oh today was crazy and I totally forgot I'll be right out
00:52:51okay the freeway is gonna be a mess right now but we can probably make up time on another route
00:53:01good so work was crazy today huh sort of I quit my job you quit you did yep is everything all
00:53:12right that's kind of sudden isn't it I mean what are you gonna do uh I don't know yet but um I
00:53:18wasn't happy you know maybe you should think it over you could talk to Reese on Monday no it's fine
00:53:25okay if you say so
00:53:28I didn't know your job made you so unhappy
00:53:32I don't think it's just my job though
00:53:37what do you mean
00:53:40all this time
00:53:43I know
00:53:45it's hard because I love and care for you so much
00:53:51I feel the same way about you
00:53:54I guess we were never really in love with each other
00:53:58it was comfortable
00:54:00and we let it go on
00:54:03yeah
00:54:04so when did you figure this out
00:54:08when I got back
00:54:11but I guess it started in Tahoe
00:54:15there was a friend there
00:54:19Riley
00:54:20and
00:54:22I realized that
00:54:24what I felt for him was
00:54:28different than how I feel for you
00:54:30oh
00:54:31are you upset
00:54:35no
00:54:39actually I know exactly how you feel
00:54:44there's something I want to tell you too
00:54:47you and I started dating
00:54:50but as it went on we spent time with each other's friends
00:54:53a lot of time
00:54:54well I started to
00:54:56Kate
00:54:57yeah
00:54:58I couldn't bring myself to tell either of you
00:55:01I would hate myself if I ever came between you
00:55:04I get it
00:55:06I want you
00:55:09and Kate
00:55:10to be happy
00:55:12you do?
00:55:15definitely
00:55:16this day has gone very differently than I thought
00:55:21for me too
00:55:24yeah
00:55:25oh
00:55:26your dinner
00:55:27you know what

00:55:43what's going on?
00:55:44go put on a nice dress
00:55:45well why?

00:55:50well I am?
00:55:52yeah
00:55:52okay
00:55:53okay Eden seriously what's going on?
00:55:56there's not a lot of time
00:55:57but to sum it up
00:55:58Michael and I broke up
00:55:59and Michael has secretly been in love with you for a while
00:56:03and as I think of it more and more
00:56:06you love him too
00:56:08and I couldn't be happier for the both of you
00:56:11okay wait what?
