00:00:58when the cold December winds begin to blow
00:01:05Also welcome camığνε供, have a good day
00:01:07Thank you
00:01:09oh, and nice of you to join us
00:01:10We just announced on Insta that the Braxton Jewels are coming to New York
00:01:13The Braxton what now?
00:01:14Don't you read the news?
00:01:15I don't consider Insta news and your algorithm only shows you gossip about the royal family
00:01:20The Braxton Collection has never been on public display before.
00:01:23This is a big deal.
00:01:24Yeah, a big deal.
00:01:25We have to go.
00:01:26Okay, I'm gonna be a little busy.
00:01:28Huh?
00:01:29The book I'm writing?
00:01:30Oh.
00:01:31I'm moving into the Grand Fairbakes Hotel until Christmas.
00:01:34Right.
00:01:34Ugh, the apartment is going to feel so lonely without you.
00:01:37Who's gonna do the dishes?
00:01:39Okay, it's just for ten days.
00:01:40No, it is for the ten most festive days of the year, Sabrina.
00:01:43Yeah, you know, ghost writing a memoir in a five-star hotel
00:01:46or listening to Barry do his annual disco version of Oh Holy Night,
00:01:51not really a toss-up.
00:01:53I am so curious whose memoir you're writing.
00:01:56You would tell me if it was someone royal, right?
00:01:58You know I signed a non-disclosure.
00:02:00Well, they must be rich if they are putting you up at the Grand Fairbanks.
00:02:03I know.
00:02:04Well, it makes sense that we're under the same roof.
00:02:06The deadline's so tight to Christmas.
00:02:08How did they find you?
00:02:09Well, I wrote that piece for the 50th anniversary of the Cordelia book.
00:02:12This is a huge deal, Sabrina.
00:02:14Your first published book.
00:02:16I know. I'm just...
00:02:17I'm just starting to feel a little nervous writing somebody's life story.
00:02:21Ooh, idea.
00:02:22Why don't we grab a drink at the hotel once you're all settled?
00:02:24You know, maybe we will meet a famous actor or a handsome royal.
00:02:28I bet that's where the Braxtons are staying.
00:02:30And Lord Braxton is incredibly private.
00:02:32He would definitely hire a ghostwriter.
00:02:34Nice try.
00:02:35N-D-A.
00:02:36Oh, A-OK.
00:02:37At least promise me to enjoy the hotel while you're there.
00:02:40You've been all work and zero sparkle lately.
00:02:42Okay.
00:02:43I promise I will try.
00:02:44Okay. The floor is yours.
00:02:47On to the next chapter.
00:02:48And the spirit of the holidays above
00:02:53It's feeling merry
00:02:58Throughout the town
00:03:02We'll be feeling Christmas
00:03:05We'll be feeling Christmas
00:03:09We'll be feeling Christmas
00:03:12All around
00:03:14Hi. Sabrina Parker checking in.
00:03:22Miss Parker, Merry Christmas and welcome to the Grand Fairbanks.
00:03:26I'm Leo. I'll be your concierge.
00:03:28Oh, so nice to meet you.
00:03:29We have you staying in the Cordelia suite.
00:03:32The Cordelia suite?
00:03:34Mr. Westcott is expecting you in the penthouse suite for high tea at 4 p.m.
00:03:38The holidays are a magical time at the Grand Fairbanks.
00:03:41One never knows what might happen.
00:03:43I understand that the piece was appraised at 2.3 million.
00:04:07Excellent.
00:04:08All right.
00:04:09I'll ship it out today.
00:04:10Happy holidays, Mr. Clooney.
00:04:13Sabrina, it is so nice to finally meet you in person.
00:04:16You're lovely.
00:04:17Oh, you too. Thank you.
00:04:19And thank you so much for the suite, Mr. Westcott.
00:04:21It's really special.
00:04:23Cordelia brought us together
00:04:24And I thought it was just the most appropriate.
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:27And you managed to capture the essence of Hazel Holly in your article.
00:04:32And that is not an easy thing to do.
00:04:35I think that she is the greatest children's author of all time.
00:04:38And the Cordelia books are why I became a writer.
00:04:41Why don't you have a seat?
00:04:41Yes, of course.
00:04:48So, where do we start?
00:04:51First painting I ever sold.
00:04:53The time I traded a sculpture for a penthouse.
00:04:55I don't know what would be interesting nowadays.
00:04:57This is all just my life.
00:05:00You have brokered some of the biggest art deals in history.
00:05:04Why tell your story now?
00:05:06I'm not getting any younger.
00:05:08And I'm hoping that what we do will inspire people to dream like I did.
00:05:14I love that.
00:05:16Okay.
00:05:17Let's get started.
00:05:18Since we only have until Christmas Eve.
00:05:20All right.
00:05:21You said you're going out of the country?
00:05:23Yes.
00:05:23I just moved to Rome.
00:05:24I'm opening a new gallery there.
00:05:25Oh, wow.
00:05:26Do you mind if I record our conversations?
00:05:28Please.
00:05:29So, Sabrina, this project is very, very important to me.
00:05:33Oh, me too.
00:05:37Hazel Holly's prose reminds us that life, much like the hotel at Christmastime,
00:05:44glows with doors waiting to be open.
00:05:47And perhaps that's Cordelia's lasting legacy.
00:05:50The quiet understanding that even the briefest places we pass through
00:05:55leave their light with us forever.
00:05:57The article.
00:06:01Yes.
00:06:02And it's beautiful.
00:06:05If what you write for me is half as eloquent as that,
00:06:09I will be a very happy man.
00:06:12Okay?
00:06:13Let's get started.
00:06:13Okay.
00:06:17Oh, I'm storming.
00:06:20Hi.
00:06:34Yes.
00:06:35Can I order your cranberry claws turkey sandwich?
00:06:38No, no, you're closed.
00:06:41Is your bar kitchen still open?
00:06:45Three more minutes.
00:06:46Okay, can you put an order in and I will be right there to pick it up?
00:06:49Okay.
00:06:50Thank you so much.
00:06:50You are a lifesaver.
00:06:53Everything seems to be going well so far.
00:06:55Thank you.
00:06:57Yes, I'll do my best.
00:07:00Um, I'm going to have to call you back.
00:07:02Thank you.
00:07:05Excuse me.
00:07:07Why are you eating my sandwich?
00:07:09Oh, no, this is not your sandwich.
00:07:11This is my sandwich.
00:07:12I think you might be mistaken.
00:07:13No, I think you might be mistaken.
00:07:26It's a great robe.
00:07:28Can you head it off to a slumber party?
00:07:30Sorry, you can have mine.
00:07:31It's very sweet of you.
00:07:33I appreciate it.
00:07:33Okay, well, good night.
00:07:34Listen, wait, wait.
00:07:35I'm teasing you.
00:07:37Please stay.
00:07:38Eat.
00:07:40Why stop now?
00:07:42Sure.
00:07:43Um, so are you, are you visiting from England?
00:07:51London, yeah.
00:07:53Holiday, work?
00:07:55Um, a bit of both.
00:07:56I work for a charity and we have an event in the city.
00:08:01And you, are you visiting from...
00:08:04Oh, I live here.
00:08:05Okay.
00:08:06I mean, I live in Brooklyn.
00:08:08I'm not, I'm in the hotel for a writing assignment.
00:08:12Something tantalizing, I hope.
00:08:15I can't really talk about it.
00:08:17Oh, stop.
00:08:17Well, now you've got me intrigued.
00:08:20Let me, let me guess.
00:08:21Um, politicians.
00:08:24Mm.
00:08:25Um, no.
00:08:26Too droll.
00:08:27Um, saucy celebrities.
00:08:31Too crass.
00:08:32Okay.
00:08:33Um, God, it's not royals behaving badly, is it?
00:08:37Okay, so which one of those are you?
00:08:40None.
00:08:41Sadly, my drama potential is virtually nil.
00:08:44Okay, well, I should be getting back to my slumber party.
00:08:52Wait, wait.
00:08:53Um, the night's still young.
00:08:56Maybe I can buy you a drink?
00:08:59Oh, you said you weren't saucy.
00:09:03Technically, it's morning and the bar is closing.
00:09:07Well, look, um, if you ever fancy another stolen sandwich, painfully awkward small talk, I'm here until Christmas.
00:09:19Enjoy.
00:09:20You too.
00:09:21Yours.
00:09:21Mine.
00:09:22And now.
00:09:26Merry Christmas.
00:09:28Merry Christmas.
00:09:29So, how did you get into the art world?
00:09:43My father was a painter.
00:09:45Did he do anything I would have seen?
00:09:47Not unless you went to Plattsburgh, New York.
00:09:49He was a house painter.
00:09:52He would work hard all day, but at night he would come home and he would paint these beautiful, vivid landscapes.
00:09:59I remember sitting and watching him paint for hours when I was a child.
00:10:04Where are those paintings now?
00:10:05They're in my private collection.
00:10:07And they are appraised at zero dollars.
00:10:12But to me, they're priceless because they always remind me of a very important lesson.
00:10:18Which is?
00:10:19My father never believed that his art had value.
00:10:22He painted houses till the day he died.
00:10:25Which is why you help artists find audiences and make a living.
00:10:29Everyone must know their worth.
00:10:33Excuse me, young man.
00:10:35A butler should glide silently.
00:10:38Never too eager.
00:10:40Always composed.
00:10:44Almost sounds like you're speaking from experience.
00:10:48Are you?
00:10:51I was a butler when I was young.
00:10:57Right here in the Grand Fairbanks.
00:10:59Very few people know that.
00:11:01Okay, we have to include this.
00:11:03I don't think that's a good idea.
00:11:05Oh, Grayson.
00:11:06I mean, all parts of your past only add to your brilliance.
00:11:09And it also helps me be a little more human in the best possible way.
00:11:15I don't think so.
00:11:16Oh.
00:11:17Will you tell me about it and then we can decide later?
00:11:19You are very persistent.
00:11:22I want your readers to feel like they know you.
00:11:24Truly know you.
00:11:25Well, I suppose I could share a little and then we'll figure it out.
00:11:31Thank you.
00:11:32Where to begin?
00:11:34It was Christmas, 1969.
00:11:36I was 18 and I thought I had it all.
00:11:39A uniform, a decent paycheck.
00:11:41And I was the butler to Hazel Holly.
00:11:46Right here in this suite.
00:11:54Grayson, what would you give a turtle for Christmas?
00:11:56I beg your pardon, Miss Holly?
00:11:58Well, I'm writing Cordelia at Christmas time and she's quite keen on giving her pet turtle a gift.
00:12:02Perhaps she could transform its tank into a snow globe.
00:12:05Sort of miniature winter terrarium.
00:12:08Splendid.
00:12:09I like that.
00:12:10Yes, glad I could be of assistance, Miss Holly.
00:12:12Oh, please, call me Hazel.
00:12:14Miss Holly makes me sound like a spinster or worse, a librarian.
00:12:19Please, sit.
00:12:21So, Grace, tell me about yourself.
00:12:24Born and raised upstate.
00:12:25I've been at the hotel three years now, since I was 15.
00:12:27And what do you plan to do after this?
00:12:28This.
00:12:30I'm content here.
00:12:31I meet all kinds of interesting people like Grace Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr.
00:12:36Nat King Cole.
00:12:38Frank Sinatra.
00:12:40You.
00:12:42Ah.
00:12:43Yeah, well.
00:12:45But I do wonder.
00:12:46Imagine a life where you're not just a part of someone else's story, but the author of your own.
00:12:50Hmm?
00:12:52I'll think about it.
00:12:53Hmm.
00:12:53Hazel treated life like an adventure that she was personally invited to.
00:13:07I really hope that you decide to tell me more about Hazel and Cordelia and the hotel.
00:13:12I mean, I know that readers will love this chapter of your life.
00:13:16I already do.
00:13:17Take some time and get to know the Grand Fairbanks.
00:13:21She's like Hazel.
00:13:23One of a kind.
00:13:24Beautiful.
00:13:25It just came in this morning.
00:13:27Yeah.
00:13:28It'll be here.
00:13:31Oh.
00:13:32Careful.
00:13:33It's been known to cause spontaneous twirling.
00:13:36Would you like to try it on?
00:13:38Oh, thank you.
00:13:39But I couldn't.
00:13:40That's not necessary.
00:13:42Girl, you don't have to buy it to feel beautiful in it.
00:13:46Okay.
00:13:50Oh, it's gorgeous.
00:13:52You planning on lifting that, too?
00:13:56Ha ha.
00:13:57I'll give you a minute.
00:13:59I'm, uh, I'm Ian.
00:14:00Pleased to properly meet you.
00:14:01I'm sorry.
00:14:02Do you mind, uh...
00:14:03Oh, yes, of course.
00:14:04Yeah.
00:14:05Uh, okay.
00:14:06Let me see.
00:14:07Got it.
00:14:08Absolutely stunning.
00:14:16The necklace.
00:14:17I, uh, the, I mean the necklace.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:19Yeah.
00:14:21Stunning.
00:14:21Um, I don't think so, though.
00:14:23Why don't I put it on hold in case you change your mind?
00:14:26Anticipation is the soul of enjoyment.
00:14:29Elizabeth Gaskell.
00:14:31Impressive.
00:14:32She's the subject of my thesis.
00:14:34What's your name, my fellow literary aficionado?
00:14:38I'm Sabrina Parker.
00:14:39I'm staying in the Cordelia Suite.
00:14:41Lucky you.
00:14:42I love those books.
00:14:43Oh, don't even get me started.
00:14:45I'll put this on hold.
00:14:48You know, I need to leave before she convinces me that I need to buy the matching earrings.
00:14:53Right.
00:14:53Um, fancy some air?
00:14:55So, as a literacy lover, you must be enjoying the Cordelia Suite.
00:15:02Guilty as charged.
00:15:05I mean, there's nothing better than seeing the look of joy on a kid's face when they read a good book.
00:15:09Thank you.
00:15:10Do you have kids?
00:15:11No.
00:15:12No, no kids.
00:15:13Not yet.
00:15:14Uh, the charity I'm here with is a literacy initiative called Read for the Stars.
00:15:18That's wonderful.
00:15:19The benefactors of the charity have, uh, a bit of a soft spot for the city.
00:15:25I have to say, I'm starting to see why.
00:15:28The energy, the people.
00:15:32You must love it here.
00:15:33Oh, I do.
00:15:35I do, especially around the holidays.
00:15:36I mean, it just gets a little brighter, a little softer.
00:15:41Even the cab drivers are nicer.
00:15:44Well, it's my first time in the city, so if there are any secret hotspots you know about, I hope you share them.
00:15:52Oh, uh...
00:15:53Oh, here.
00:15:54Thank you.
00:15:55Sorry.
00:15:57Oh, dear.
00:15:58Um, one second.
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:00Hello?
00:16:01Okay, don't do, don't do anything until I get there.
00:16:06All right, I'm coming, I'm coming right now.
00:16:09I'm sorry, I think I'm going to need to dash.
00:16:11Oh, of course.
00:16:13I hope I can meet you later for a drink.
00:16:16Oh, I, um, I already have plans.
00:16:20Uh, another time then, I hope.
00:16:28Do you have anything that matches those earrings?
00:16:31Come on, you need to take a hint.
00:16:34So sorry.
00:16:36If money were no object, which it is not, which of these would you choose?
00:16:45How can a girl pick just one?
00:16:48Oh.
00:16:49I'm trying if I see the ring sizing, of course.
00:16:52Hello.
00:16:54Right, time for your nap, eh?
00:16:55That gelag must be catching up with you.
00:16:56I'm sorry, he's not himself.
00:16:58to be continued.
00:17:01Well, we'll see, because they look expensive.
00:17:03Let's go.
00:17:03They aren't that expensive.
00:17:04Well, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:17:07Have you lost your mind?
00:17:09An angel walks among us.
00:17:10How could any mortal man resist?
00:17:12Please.
00:17:13Please tell me she doesn't know your Lord Brikeston.
00:17:16Oh, Spencer, I promised your mother I would keep you out of trouble.
00:17:19Mother will adore her.
00:17:20All right, Tabitha, Tabitha, Tabitha, Tabby, Tabby, Tabby Cat is working at the hotel while she finishes her PhD.
00:17:27She's studying Elizabeth Gaskell and has a fondness for roasted chestnuts.
00:17:31I've never met anyone who loves roasted chestnuts as much as I.
00:17:33You remember why we're here, right?
00:17:36The exhibition, to raise money for charity, not to, to satiate your love life.
00:17:41I'm perfectly aware why we are here.
00:17:43Why else would I agree to this public appearance?
00:17:46No, the press, the press is like a fruitcake at Christmas.
00:17:49Nobody truly wants them. They just keep turning up.
00:17:52So what's going on with Tabitha?
00:17:55We're going to see the Rockettes.
00:17:56And I was just picking something nice for her to wear.
00:17:59You know, a scarf is something nice to wear.
00:18:02Perfume is something nice to wear.
00:18:03Not $50,000 worth of extravagant jewellery.
00:18:07I suppose I should be grateful it wasn't an engagement ring.
00:18:10I just met her. Are you mad?
00:18:12Are you?
00:18:13Am I?
00:18:15You proposed to Sherry at Chamonix after 48 hours.
00:18:17So, you proposed to Elena in Greece after about two weeks.
00:18:21Opa!
00:18:21And let's not forget Ingrid, whose proposal I found out via skywriting.
00:18:25Wrote it in the sky. That's sorcery.
00:18:27You propose marriage faster than the ball dropping on New Year's Eve, right?
00:18:31It's called being romantic. You ought to try it, Mr. Humbug.
00:18:34I would love to try it.
00:18:36If I wasn't solely in charge of keeping you out of trouble.
00:18:40Is this about your ex?
00:18:41Ah, sorry.
00:18:43I haven't found the one either.
00:18:46But Tammy Cat certainly stands for potential.
00:18:48Dada, dada, dada, dada, I don't want to hear it.
00:18:50We have bigger kippers in the pan, you and I.
00:18:52We are meeting with the museum curator,
00:18:54so I need you to be on your best behavior to go over the final arrangements.
00:18:56That sounds about as romantic as the time that you and I got food poisoning from the chippy of uni.
00:19:02Don't remind me.
00:19:04Could you have ordered a bigger drink?
00:19:06I tried. They wouldn't let me.
00:19:11Really?
00:19:12What?
00:19:13I always wear this when I go out,
00:19:15which you would know if you ever came out with me.
00:19:17The tag is still on.
00:19:19Whatever.
00:19:20Where are them royals at?
00:19:21You know, it's probably petting their polo ponies or fox hunting.
00:19:25I don't know.
00:19:26You are no fun.
00:19:27Let's let them be with royals on their own.
00:19:29Okay?
00:19:30Everett, cheers.
00:19:31Salud.
00:19:32Ah!
00:19:32The museum is thrilled you chose us to debut the Braxton Jewel Collection.
00:19:36Well, as you may know, Lady Braxton grew up in New York,
00:19:39so the city has a very special place in her heart.
00:19:41And with the proceeds going to the Read for the Stars charity,
00:19:45it wasn't exactly a difficult decision for us.
00:19:47Ramey's dropping.
00:19:48We're just grateful to have real royals in attendance.
00:19:51Can you be cool?
00:19:53I am cool.
00:19:53Can you be cool?
00:19:54Can you be cool?
00:19:55I think that is Lord Braxton.
00:19:58Who is he?
00:19:59Oh!
00:20:00Uh...
00:20:00Uh...
00:20:01Uh...
00:20:02Sabrina?
00:20:04Huh?
00:20:08You?
00:20:10Hi!
00:20:17Okay, so, wait, let me get this straight.
00:20:19Lord Braxton, like, the Lord Braxton,
00:20:21who has not revealed that he is a Braxton, is into you?
00:20:23Maybe?
00:20:24And obviously you are into him, too.
00:20:25Well, I just met him.
00:20:26He's nice, a little private.
00:20:27Yeah, he is notoriously private.
00:20:29That's his thing.
00:20:30He's like an enigma.
00:20:31He never lets himself be photographed in public.
00:20:33I don't know why, because he's clearly hot.
00:20:35He's really cute.
00:20:36But I mean, like, what would you want with me?
00:20:38Oh, please.
00:20:39You are my queen.
00:20:40You could be his queen.
00:20:41Oh, there is one thing, though.
00:20:42He is a serial proposer.
00:20:44What, in, like, marriage proposals?
00:20:46He proposed to a woman after three days once.
00:20:49They call him the Runaway Lord.
00:20:50His actual name is Spencer, though.
00:20:52Oh, no.
00:20:53No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:53He said his name was Ian.
00:20:54Yeah, of course he did.
00:20:56What do you mean?
00:20:56Well, Sabrina, he's not going to use his real name.
00:20:59He is a royal.
00:20:59He's obviously keeping things on the down low.
00:21:01Okay, that seems, like, do you think?
00:21:06All I'm saying is keep your eyes peeled for a little blue jewelry box.
00:21:09Oh, God.
00:21:09I gotta go.
00:21:10The cats won't feed themselves.
00:21:11Keep me posted.
00:21:12Good night.
00:21:13Good night.
00:21:14Sabrina.
00:21:15Oh.
00:21:15Hi.
00:21:16I'm sorry.
00:21:17The concierge told him you'd be out here.
00:21:18What?
00:21:19Is your friend right?
00:21:20Oh, my friend.
00:21:22Yes.
00:21:23Sorry.
00:21:23She was just royally, really flustered just on the magic of the holiday season.
00:21:29Well, actually, that's what I want to talk to you about.
00:21:32I was kind of hoping you'd show me one of those secret holiday spots only locals know.
00:21:38Huh.
00:21:40Do you like to party?
00:21:43I think so.
00:21:50Come on.
00:21:52Maybe party means something different across the pond.
00:21:55I mean, it's not Piccadilly Circus or Buckingham Palace, but it's my idea of a good time.
00:22:03I practically grew up here.
00:22:06It's where I discovered the power of story, how it shapes us, how we get lost within the magic.
00:22:13And they have the largest collection of children's Christmas books in the state.
00:22:16At Christmas, they always held all kinds of events.
00:22:20Author signings, book readings, white elephant book exchanges.
00:22:25My mom volunteered here, so it's always been my home away from home.
00:22:30Used to?
00:22:32They don't anymore?
00:22:34People just aren't interested.
00:22:36Without the resources, it's hard to get them engaged.
00:22:39Yeah, no, I understand.
00:22:41Books are getting lost in our high-tech world.
00:22:43So, tell me about that, um, that charity that you mentioned.
00:22:49Read for the Stars.
00:22:51We offer one-to-one tutoring to children with learning difficulties.
00:22:55We give them the skills and the confidence they need to thrive.
00:22:59We've seen kids go from barely reading to giving speeches to hundreds of people.
00:23:05It's...
00:23:06It's transformative.
00:23:08It's rewarding to see them grow.
00:23:12It stays with you.
00:23:14Yeah, it really does.
00:23:17You...
00:23:17You could be anywhere in the world doing anything.
00:23:21But instead, you're here.
00:23:25You're doing something that actually matters.
00:23:27This charity, it means everything to me.
00:23:34And I have to say, I'm finding the company in New York even more captivating than the skyline.
00:23:42Okay, so, the lights on the Empire State Building change color, depending on what's going on in the city or even around the world.
00:23:49We have millions of people are rushing around this tiny little island, and somehow we can all look up and feel like we're part of something together.
00:23:58I love that.
00:24:01Strangers connected by hopes and dreams.
00:24:04It's just a little insecurity with all these go-getters.
00:24:07I'm curious.
00:24:08What do you have to be insecure about?
00:24:10Oh, all sorts of things, you know?
00:24:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:24:13Change our identity.
00:24:16Thank you for that.
00:24:17Uh, I guess I'm insecure about my clumsiness.
00:24:22I mean, well, you know, reindeer crossing some cabs is making it an obstacle course in this city.
00:24:30If you hold my hand, I'm not afraid of a bit of an adventure.
00:24:34Where to next?
00:24:36You know, your energy is contagious.
00:24:39Well, then you must be the spark.
00:24:44Sorry.
00:24:45Yeah?
00:24:45Huh.
00:24:48What is there to do in Atlantic City?
00:24:50Uh, random question?
00:24:52I don't know.
00:24:53Gambling?
00:24:54Oh.
00:24:55Well, no worries, then.
00:24:56We're getting married.
00:24:57I have to run.
00:24:58Um, I'm so sorry.
00:25:00Something's just come up.
00:25:01Okay.
00:25:01I hope nothing was serious.
00:25:02No, no, it's, uh, a date.
00:25:03Uh, uh, an engagement.
00:25:05Um, you know what?
00:25:05Let's, let's call you a cab.
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:09I know, I know.
00:25:09Crazy, crazy thing.
00:25:10The weirdest thing.
00:25:11But we're, we're just, everything's been great.
00:25:13I had such a lovely time, honestly.
00:25:14I really did.
00:25:15No, no, we just can't have too much of a good thing.
00:25:17You know what I mean?
00:25:18Grand Fairbanks.
00:25:19Go, quick.
00:25:29I've never seen Spencer so focused.
00:25:31Just straight as an arrow.
00:25:34Speak with him.
00:25:35Um, he's actually in the shower at the moment,
00:25:36so I'm afraid he can't talk just now.
00:25:39You know what?
00:25:40I left the kettle on the boil.
00:25:40Can I, uh, can I, can I give you a call back?
00:25:43Lovely.
00:25:43Yep.
00:25:43Thank you.
00:25:44Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
00:25:45Where on earth have you been?
00:25:46I was looking for you half the night.
00:25:48Where haven't I been?
00:25:50Hands.
00:25:51Show me your hand.
00:25:52Hand, hand, hand, hand, hands.
00:25:53What?
00:25:55I thought you were married.
00:25:57Married?
00:25:58It's only 10 a.m., mate.
00:25:59I don't consider nuptials until at least noon.
00:26:01Hey, I'm not in the mood for your banter this morning, all right?
00:26:03I'm in the mood for brachy, or brunch, or lunch.
00:26:07Wow.
00:26:08You know what I'm in the mood for?
00:26:10I'm in the mood for you to grow up.
00:26:12You're a lord, Spencer.
00:26:13Yeah, once you've grown up, you can never go back.
00:26:15I'd be happy to discuss this further, right after a little nap.
00:26:22Humor me, Grayson.
00:26:23How does a butler become one of the world's most powerful art dealers?
00:26:27You have a gift of turning prying into a compliment.
00:26:30Thank you.
00:26:31But I suppose it's not fair to keep you hanging.
00:26:34What do you think Cordelia wants for Christmas?
00:26:40A spaceship or a fire truck?
00:26:42Choose carefully.
00:26:43This will determine her future occupation.
00:26:45A spaceship?
00:26:46I think she should be an astronaut.
00:26:49You're a good man, Grayson.
00:26:51Most men would say she needs another doll.
00:26:53We know she can do anything.
00:26:54She's the future.
00:26:55Good heavens, it's 6.30 already.
00:26:59Didn't your shift end?
00:27:00I'm not in a hurry.
00:27:01You're 18 years old.
00:27:02You should always be in a hurry to meet a pretty girl or advance your career.
00:27:05Actually, I'm staying to work at the mistletoe social tonight.
00:27:08Oh, good initiative.
00:27:09Why aren't you going?
00:27:10There won't be a party without you.
00:27:11Oh, you'll be fine.
00:27:12Life has a funny way of showing up when you're not looking for it, Grayson.
00:27:15So, did you go?
00:27:20Come with me.
00:27:21Where?
00:27:22To the mistletoe social.
00:27:24It's tonight.
00:27:25Do you believe it's still around after all these years?
00:27:28Yeah, I've heard something about that, but I mean, Grayson, time is ticking and we only just began.
00:27:33Come with me to the social.
00:27:35I'll tell you the rest of the story.
00:27:36I don't even have a dress.
00:27:37Well, I happen to know some people who know some people who have exquisite taste.
00:27:45Christmas is here.
00:27:48It's time for fun.
00:27:52Miss Parker.
00:27:53Ha, you may have just outshone the Christmas tree, which is not easy to do at the Grand Fairbanks.
00:27:58You look positively radiant.
00:28:00Couldn't have done it without you, Leo.
00:28:02My pleasure.
00:28:06Sabrina.
00:28:08You look like a work of art.
00:28:10Thank you.
00:28:11Call it an investment in our creative process.
00:28:13Well, now, I said yes to sequins and champagnes.
00:28:16It is.
00:28:17It's your turn to say yes to the past.
00:28:19What happened at the social?
00:28:21Being subtle is not your strong suit.
00:28:24It is not.
00:28:24Yes, I did indeed attempt.
00:28:27Shall we?
00:28:28Yes.
00:28:32I met someone here.
00:28:35On the floor.
00:28:36On the dance floor?
00:28:38Something like that.
00:28:39Yes.
00:28:39Yes.
00:28:39Yes.
00:28:39Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:41Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:43Are you okay?
00:29:02Fine, thank you.
00:29:03You're underneath the table.
00:29:04I'm hiding from my date.
00:29:05Why?
00:29:06When he got up to dance, a jewelry box slipped out of his pocket and worried it's meant for me.
00:29:10What?
00:29:10You don't want jewelry?
00:29:11That would be a first thing this hotel.
00:29:12No.
00:29:13The box was the square kind that holds an engagement ring.
00:29:15We've only been going to study a year.
00:29:16Wait, so what's the issue?
00:29:18Miss, uh...
00:29:20Ash.
00:29:21Charlotte.
00:29:23I'm only 18.
00:29:24I can't marry anyone yet.
00:29:26Oh, I thought that's what these parties were for.
00:29:28Girls with parents on the New York social register meet Ivy League boys and get married here at the hotel.
00:29:33Oh, that sounds dreadful.
00:29:34I want to do more with my life than eat cucumber sandwiches at the Ivy Corps.
00:29:39Thank you very much.
00:29:40What is it you want to do?
00:29:43Study fashion in London.
00:29:45If my mother finds out Timothy proposed, she'll be on the phone with the wedding planner faster than she can run up her Sterling's charge card.
00:29:50And you can't stay on the floor.
00:29:53Dance with me, then.
00:29:55I can't.
00:29:58Please.
00:30:00Grayson?
00:30:01Yes.
00:30:02Grayson Westcott.
00:30:03Yes.
00:30:03It's Bunny.
00:30:04Bunny Mallet.
00:30:05Oh, yes.
00:30:06Bunny.
00:30:07You look wonderful.
00:30:08Well, thank you.
00:30:09I'm Sabrina.
00:30:10Oh, yes.
00:30:11This is Sabrina Parker.
00:30:12We're working on something together.
00:30:14Sabrina, would you mind if I stole Grayson for a quick little drinky poo?
00:30:18Oh, of course.
00:30:19Yeah.
00:30:20Have fun.
00:30:27Mother should be here, not me.
00:30:29Thankfully, barely anyone recognizes me here in New York.
00:30:33Well, it's important to me that you're here.
00:30:36Especially since the mistletoe organizers chose Read for the Stars as this year's charity.
00:30:42You are forever the do-gooder, Ian, and I am grateful to you.
00:30:46Thank you.
00:30:48I'm serious.
00:30:51You're a kind man.
00:30:53Would you make me look good?
00:30:56Meow.
00:30:57There she is, looking dangerously ravishing this evening, darling.
00:31:01Then you'd better keep your wits about you.
00:31:03Oh, I refuse.
00:31:07Ian, excuse me.
00:31:08May I introduce Miss Tabitha Johnson?
00:31:10Yes, we're at a boutique.
00:31:11Hi.
00:31:11Oh.
00:31:12This charity is so important.
00:31:14I wish my brother had something like this when he was little.
00:31:17It was hard watching him struggle.
00:31:18This charity is the air in my lungs.
00:31:23Well, I hope you got the help you needed.
00:31:25A little later than we would have liked, but yes.
00:31:27Thank you.
00:31:28I'm glad to hear it.
00:31:29As am I glad to hear it.
00:31:31Yeah.
00:31:34Would you excuse me for a moment?
00:31:35Of course.
00:31:36Um, short leash.
00:31:38Sabrina.
00:31:48Look, I'm terribly sorry about last night.
00:31:50You look absolutely stunning.
00:31:53Stunning enough for you to stick around this time?
00:31:57I, uh, I called you, and I texted you earlier.
00:31:59Did you not receive them?
00:32:00Oh, no, I received them.
00:32:02Not to judge a book by its cover, but it seems like you're a little miffed at me.
00:32:05Well, where's your date for the evening?
00:32:07Oh, did you already shove her in a cab and send her home alone?
00:32:10I see.
00:32:11Not my finest moment.
00:32:16Do you believe in second chances?
00:32:18I believe you're on your third.
00:32:21But I'll let you buy me a drink.
00:32:22For charity.
00:32:32Should we take a seat?
00:32:33Yeah.
00:32:35So, how's your top secret assignment coming along?
00:32:44It's different from what I thought it was going to be, but it's good.
00:32:48Still classified?
00:32:49Yes.
00:32:50And if I told you, I'd have to write you out of the book.
00:32:53You know, if you really are CIA, you're totally wasting your talents with me.
00:32:56I haven't been inside Tim Downing in years.
00:32:58Like you're not close with the Prime Minister.
00:33:01I wouldn't say we're on a first-name basis, no.
00:33:02Well, whatever it is, it must be pretty special to land your stay here.
00:33:08You know, you didn't mention that you're here with the Braxton's.
00:33:12Well, discretion's my middle name.
00:33:15Especially when that name tends to arrive before you do.
00:33:17Mm.
00:33:18But this, this, the fundraising, the cause, that's what really matters to me.
00:33:25That, that's, that's wonderful.
00:33:32Maybe something like Read for the Stars would just be so good for the city.
00:33:36I was one of those kids.
00:33:40I struggled.
00:33:42The words blurred.
00:33:44The, the letters danced around the page.
00:33:48It made me feel like I was a bit of a lost cause.
00:33:52Then, one tutor thought I was worth the trouble.
00:33:54He had me read out loud rhythm.
00:33:56Mm.
00:33:57And it was like music.
00:33:59Something clicked.
00:34:02Changed everything.
00:34:03Well, is a New York chapter a possibility?
00:34:06We're trying to reach as many children as we can.
00:34:09You know, you are, you are not how I expected you to be.
00:34:15You're very humble, very grounded.
00:34:18I aim to be pleasantly unpredictable.
00:34:20Well, I mean.
00:34:24What?
00:34:25You know, I should, I should get back to the party and leave you to your obligations.
00:34:33Sure.
00:34:34But, I want you to know this has been my favorite obligation by far.
00:34:37I'll keep on indescent.
00:34:57So, how was Bunny?
00:35:04Dramatic, elegant, and slightly over-perfumed.
00:35:07As expected.
00:35:09Okay, then, you have to tell me now.
00:35:12Did you end up dancing with Charlotte?
00:35:15I did.
00:35:17Would you care for a spin?
00:35:20Sure.
00:35:27I shouldn't be dancing with you.
00:35:29The first rule of being a butler at the Grand Fairbanks is doing whatever a guest says.
00:35:33Still plenty of time for your boyfriend to propose.
00:35:35And we'll dance all night.
00:35:37And tomorrow, peppermint cheesecake at the carousel.
00:35:41My treat.
00:35:42Could be so, then you'd keep me so warm in December, too.
00:35:53May I cut in?
00:36:04Oh, uh, of course.
00:36:07Great.
00:36:08Grease.
00:36:09How are you?
00:36:10Where'd you get security?
00:36:12Sabrina.
00:36:15May I have this dance?
00:36:16And I like that.
00:36:18My arms so lovin', a kind of oven, to melt the sleet and snow.
00:36:33The last few days, I haven't been able to get you out of my mind.
00:36:48It's like...
00:36:49Unwrapping a Christmas present you didn't know you wanted.

00:39:08How are you?
00:39:09Thank you, yeah, gotta go, gotta go, bye
00:39:11Spencer!
00:39:13Thank you so much for this, this place is perfect, the exhibition
00:39:16Well the response has been incredible
00:39:17You can see here that the descriptions are per your approvals
00:39:20Great, yeah, amazing, thank you
00:39:22And we were particularly intrigued by the chocolate diamond engagement ring
00:39:26Who wouldn't be, huh?
00:39:27So is it true the queen herself gave it to the elder lord Braxton?
00:39:30Oh yes, the royal family badly wanted grandfather to settle down
00:39:34He finally did when he proposed to my grandmother
00:39:36A commoner
00:39:38She was the only woman who could tame him
00:39:40After he passed, grandmother gifted the ring to me in hopes that
00:39:43I'd finally settle down
00:39:45One can only hope
00:39:47One can only try
00:39:49That handsome young man you were dancing with last night
00:39:56He seemed to have departed pretty quickly
00:39:58Yeah, that's actually Lord Braxton from the Braxton family
00:40:03He, um, has something to attend to
00:40:06The Lord Braxton?
00:40:07I know, I don't feel like I fit in with the royal world
00:40:11But I do enjoy his company
00:40:14Okay, enough about me
00:40:16I was searching the times archive
00:40:19And I couldn't find any wedding announcements for a Charlotte Ash
00:40:22What happened after the mistletoe social?
00:40:25Well
00:40:31No engagement ring
00:40:32Timothy broke it off with me
00:40:34I was so relieved I nearly kissed him
00:40:36My mother, however, was crushed
00:40:37She's practically thrown me at every eligible bachelor in the city
00:40:40Oh, so that's where you've been?
00:40:41I told her I'm done with all that nonsense
00:40:43And she finally gave in
00:40:44I leave end of January for the Royal Academy of Design in London
00:40:47My mother thinks I'm going to snag some British Earl
00:40:50But I want my own fashion line
00:40:52Well, have you always wanted to be a designer?
00:40:54Mm-hmm
00:40:55I've been dressing my Cordelia doll in high fashion since I was a little girl
00:40:57Well
00:40:58Are you free New Year's Eve?
00:41:00We can bring it in together
00:41:03I like you, Grayson
00:41:04But
00:41:05I leave in a month
00:41:07I've been waiting for this my whole life
00:41:12I need to make my way in the world
00:41:15Well
00:41:16We can still spend the time we have left
00:41:18Of course
00:41:20Sorry, it's...
00:41:23It's Lord Braxton
00:41:25He wants me to meet him at this mysterious thing tonight
00:41:27But I just...
00:41:28I don't know where all this is going
00:41:30You know, he lives in another country
00:41:31It would never work
00:41:32Sabrina
00:41:33Only go because you want to
00:41:35I don't know where all this is going
00:41:38You know, he lives in another country
00:41:39It would never work
00:41:40Sabrina
00:41:41Only go because you want to
00:41:43That's all that matters
00:41:44You're gonna love it
00:41:45Merry Christmas
00:41:46Thanks, Merry Christmas
00:41:47Thank you
00:41:48Spencer's friend, how can I help?
00:41:49Ian, actually
00:41:50Tabitha
00:41:51Yeah
00:41:52I hope I haven't been contributing to your anxieties
00:41:53I realize Spencer is a lot to contain
00:41:54Oh, no one's more aware, trust me
00:41:55He just needs a little guidance
00:41:56Provided he's not being guided down yet another altar
00:41:57I'm all for it
00:41:58This hotel has no shortage of wealthy attractive men
00:42:00If that were my goal, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you
00:42:05Noted
00:42:06Why do I have the feeling that you're here for?
00:42:07No, no one's going to go up
00:42:08Where are you going?
00:42:09Paul White
00:42:10I'm going up there
00:42:11Yes, please
00:42:12No, no one wants to be a room
00:42:13No, no one wants to go up
00:42:14No one wants to go up
00:42:15Oh, no, no one wants to go up
00:42:16Yes
00:42:17Because that is where she's going to go
00:42:19Yes

00:43:37second they hit the oven do you have any traditions yeah my favorite was uh the gratitude jar we'd each
00:43:45write something down that we're thankful for and then we'd take them out and read them aloud in
00:43:49front of each other before presents i thought you were going to say church at sandringham
00:43:55followed by a mile long buffet okay just because i'm english doesn't mean my life was an episode
00:44:00of the town just because i'm a writer doesn't mean i'm dorothy parker what do you mean by that
00:44:08last year i wrote this article that got a lot of positive buzz
00:44:12and that led me to getting the job that i have now which is bigger than anything that i've ever
00:44:16done before i'm worried that i might be in a little over my head
00:44:23aren't we all

00:45:04i'm sorry that's my phone okay looks like santa got a phone call but his friend's going to take care
00:45:08of it cordelia loved many things at christmas time the twinkling lights the smell of cinnamon and pine
00:45:15but more than anything she loved giving gifts
00:45:25do you think you'll get married at westminster abbey do you mean luckingham palace no that is only for
00:45:30official state visits and the occasional garden party who knew i knew and i also know that there
00:45:35can only be one thing in that box and it goes on your finger and it sparkles and it is probably you
00:45:40okay that's crazy we only met four days ago but love doesn't wear a watch unless it's a rolex
00:45:46he doesn't even know that i know that he's a lord even if he wasn't one why would he be interested

00:56:00tomorrow evening well about that i'm afraid we're going to need to hit pause for a short time
00:56:07but i'm coming to your royal opening well that was before i found out that monzi is going to be
00:56:12attending and well we wouldn't want you two to cross paths and why is that well i may have a history of
00:56:19moving too quickly in relationships and i wouldn't want her to think that you're just another one of my
00:56:25oh go on one of your mistakes yes but no no no no look i'm just trying to make this easy
00:56:37i can make this real easy no tabitha that's that's not what i meant good night tabitha
00:56:53i'm usually the one getting you out of hot water and i've got myself and the mother of all
00:57:05models you think you're up the spout i think tabitha just dumped me
00:57:10what did you do what do you assume i did something you don't have a bit of a track record
00:57:17man yes well you want to talk why didn't you tell sabrina the truth
00:57:22because i was already dreading telling her that i'm your secretary now i've somehow added
00:57:30not a royal to the pile ian you are loyal brilliant and the only reason i'm remotely
00:57:40functional in public not private for that matter
00:57:42i sometimes regret asking you to be my secretary i'm holding you back
00:57:50i wouldn't trade our years together for anything in the world nor i
00:57:59so we'll tell sabrina that you panicked for my sake protecting my privacy i'll join
00:58:08you both for dinner and then we'll set the record straight
00:58:10thank you of course i just wish i could tell her on my own why is this so hard
00:58:23because old boy you're properly smitten
00:58:30as a night
00:58:31where are you going to find tabitha to make things right well wait you need to be back by first
00:58:43thing your mother arrives in the morning spencer
00:58:46how is your suite lady violet positively splendid thank you for rearranging everything
00:59:03at the eleventh hour of course and lady braxton well she's much improved and she insists that she
00:59:09feels entirely at home here so where is spencer oh well you know spencer i'm sure he'll be here any
00:59:19moment ah it appears he's avoiding his mum how's he been behaving honestly he's a changed man ah and
00:59:28that means that he's met someone but hasn't yet proposed i think you might quite like this one
00:59:34she's a postgrad at myu studying elizabeth gaskell and she runs a boutique here in the hotel
00:59:38hmm academic and gainfully employed we may have to take her seriously
00:59:44and what about you ian is that flush on your cheeks from the crisp winter air
00:59:49or is there someone new in the picture is it that obvious yes her name's sabrina parker
00:59:59she's a guest at the hotel a writer well you know we only want the best for you i consider you as
01:00:05part of this family speaking of my role there's something i wanted to speak to you about in
01:00:15regards to read for the stars i was thinking we should make a permanent chapter here in new york
01:00:21new york the children here deserve the same opportunities i had and with your family's
01:00:26long-standing affection it's rather a lofty idea i know but i wouldn't be asking if i didn't feel so
01:00:33strongly very well i'll give it some thought but now i need you to find my son oh i will find spencer
01:00:45i promise thank you ian what would we do without you so did charlotte meet you at the new
01:00:51year's party yes she did we had a wonderful night it's the most magical kiss of my life
01:01:12as if time had stopped that's so sweet but sabrina time doesn't stop for anything
01:01:20not even love i love you grayson we both know i have to go i know but there's something i need to
01:01:28give you before you make up your mind for good i've already made up my mind
01:01:31london is my dream you don't want me to have to give up my dream do you
01:01:48will i ever see you again i promise i'll come back i don't know when
01:01:53but we'll be together again somehow someday
01:02:13i believe her
01:02:27wait you you didn't stop her
01:02:31no
01:02:33i decided i'd rather break my heart than break hers
01:02:36So I take it you didn't go to London to find Charlotte?
01:02:47No
01:02:47I enjoyed every minute that I spent with her
01:02:52But we were just too different
01:02:55But after all these years I've learned to live with the decision I've made

01:06:15No, no, I should have tried harder. I should have made it a priority.
01:06:19When one finds a love like this, you do anything you can to not let it slip through your fingers.
01:06:26You need to know the end of the story. Please.
01:06:36My dearest Grayson, my father's business has gone bust.
01:06:40Our friends in London have offered to let me stay for free if I help look after their daughter.
01:06:46Please don't worry about me. This is a temporary setback.
01:06:50All my love, Charlotte.
01:06:55You're young, Grayson. You have your whole life ahead of you.
01:06:58And if you reach a point in life where the only soul you have to love is a little girl and her pet turtle,
01:07:04well, then you have something. And something is always better than nothing.
01:07:10Did you believe that?
01:07:12No. Not following her cost me the love of my life.
01:07:17And Hazel was about to leave, too.
01:07:23I'm stagnant here. I need a new adventure. You should consider moving on, too.
01:07:29Why would I leave the Grand Fairbanks? I have other guests who need me.
01:07:33Have you not listened to a word I've said about being the author of your own story?
01:07:36This is all I know.
01:07:37You're not like other butlers. Most keep their heads down, but you, you're always thinking, always observing.
01:07:46Now, I have a friend in Los Angeles. He's an art dealer, and he's looking for a new assistant.
01:07:49I love art, but I don't know anything about selling it.
01:07:52Well, he'll train you. You already know the high society life better than anyone.
01:07:56Their style, their taste.
01:07:57Yeah, but Los Angeles is flashy. It's not me.
01:08:01Darling, that's exactly why you should go. Recognize opportunity when it knocks, Grayson.
01:08:07It's time you and I and Cordelia grow up.
01:08:16That's when Hazel stopped writing and moved to the Amalfi Coast.
01:08:19Yes. After a lot of soul searching, I took her advice.
01:08:26My confidence was tested a thousand times, but I kept going without my dear Charlotte.
01:08:34Here, there are, um, many more letters in here if you care to look at them later.
01:08:39Thank you.
01:08:40Thank you.
01:08:41Dear Grayson,
01:09:01I desperately miss New York.
01:09:05And, most of all,
01:09:07I miss you.
01:09:08Zion School is a distant memory,
01:09:11and my days are filled babysitting children that are not my own.
01:09:15I often dream about what would have happened if I had stayed with you.
01:09:20Perhaps I would be caring for our children.
01:09:23Happy and content.
01:09:26You are Charlotte.
01:09:26Charlotte.
01:09:38It's safe to say we might do this again.
01:09:48Everything looks fantastic.
01:09:49Thank you so much.
01:09:50When the ladies arrived, I...
01:09:51Lady Violet!
01:09:53Lady Braxton!
01:09:53You both look beautiful.
01:09:54Well, we couldn't be upstaged by our own jewels.
01:09:58Still no Spencer.
01:10:00Traffic.
01:10:01I thought the chocolate diamond engagement ring was to be the centerpiece of the exhibit,
01:10:06but I don't see it on display.
01:10:08Lord Braxton was here earlier, and he asked to take it.
01:10:10I thought you knew.
01:10:12So...
01:10:12Lord Braxton was here earlier, and he asked to take it.
01:10:14I thought you knew.
01:10:16Lord Braxton was here earlier, and he asked to take it.
01:10:20I thought you knew.
01:10:26Would you ladies excuse me for a moment?
01:10:36Sabrina.
01:10:38I thought I'd never see you again.
01:10:39The letter.
01:10:39I know.
01:10:40I'm sorry.
01:10:41That was...
01:10:41There's something I need to tell you.
01:10:43No, please.
01:10:43Let me go first.
01:10:44I just...
01:10:44Ian!
01:10:44I need to explain where that was...
01:10:45You guys want me to say a few words.
01:10:47Could I please have a copy of the speech?
01:10:48Yes, of course.
01:10:49Thank you.
01:10:50And who is this vision of loveliness?
01:10:52Oh, I beg your pardon.
01:10:54Please allow me to introduce Miss Sabrina Parker.
01:10:58Delighted to meet you, Sabrina.
01:11:00Charmed.
01:11:00Don't you think we could start with something a little less full?
01:11:03Yes, of course.
01:11:04Your collection is just stunning.
01:11:08Oh, and the locket is beautiful.
01:11:11I've had it since I was a young girl in New York.
01:11:15Oh, wow.
01:11:15I knew that you were fond of the city, but I didn't know that you lived here.
01:11:19Oh, I love New York.
01:11:20Especially at Christmas.
01:11:21And the cheesecake is like nowhere else on Earth.
01:11:24Yes.
01:11:25Come along, Mother.
01:11:26You need to join me at the front.
01:11:27Oh.
01:11:28Well, I just wanted to say it was so nice to meet you, and I...
01:11:32I think the world of yours...
01:11:35Merry Christmas!
01:11:37Thank you.
01:11:38Thank you so much, guests and members of the media, for coming to A Royal Affair.
01:11:44A sneak peek of the Braxton Family Jewel Collection.
01:11:47And we are just so thrilled to have both Lady Braxton and Lady Violet here.
01:11:52Round of applause.
01:11:53We are so proud to announce that 100% of the proceeds from this exhibit will go to Read
01:12:05for the Stars, the crown jewel of the Braxton Family Foundation.
01:12:10And I would like to thank my mother, Lady Braxton, for traveling all this way with me.
01:12:15Oh, and the current Lord Braxton, my son, Spencer.
01:12:26Thank you, Monsie.
01:12:32Hello, all you wonderful people, and members of the press.
01:12:40Now, I'm not big on speeches, but I just want to say thank you all for coming.
01:12:45And thank you especially to my charming date this evening, Miss Tabitha Johnson.
01:12:51Please join us.
01:12:55Tabitha Johnson.
01:12:56If he's Lord Braxton, that makes you...
01:13:05Sabrina, this has been a terrible misunderstanding.
01:13:08I'm so sorry.
01:13:09Now evening, such as this...
01:13:10Sabrina, don't just come together.
01:13:12Oh, my gosh.
01:13:15Sabrina.
01:13:15There we are, great.
01:13:18Sabrina.
01:13:21Sabrina.
01:13:23Please wait.
01:13:26I tried to tell you, I really did.
01:13:32Tell me what?
01:13:34You mean, tell me who you really are?
01:13:38I mean, have you been lying this...
01:13:40this whole time?
01:13:41Has any of this been real?
01:13:43The way I feel is as real as it gets.
01:13:47I just never thought in a million years,
01:13:49someone like me would be good enough for someone like you.
01:13:53But I was falling for you, Ian.
01:13:54Not a title.
01:14:00I just, I clearly...
01:14:02I clearly don't know you at all.
01:14:08So please join me in applause
01:14:10for those dedicated souls
01:14:12who helped put all this together.
01:14:19Ian, join us.
01:14:20I can't believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
01:14:48I know.
01:14:49Thank you.
01:14:50I'm going to miss you, Sabrina.
01:14:52Me too.
01:14:53It's been fun.
01:14:54Yes, it has.
01:14:55And I will make myself available to you from Rome
01:14:58in case you need anything.
01:15:00I want this memoir to defy your expectations.
01:15:03I'm sure it will.
01:15:04And this process has been far more cathartic
01:15:07than I imagined it ever could have been.
01:15:09I'm so glad it helped.
01:15:10It did.
01:15:11So speaking of which,
01:15:13what's happening with Lord Braxton?
01:15:15Oh.
01:15:16The man I fell for is not Lord Braxton.
01:15:19Now I am living proof that fairy tales do not exist.
01:15:23Well, that's unfortunate.
01:15:26But do you care for this man?
01:15:28I do.
01:15:35I mean, I did.
01:15:36I just...
01:15:38I don't know that I could trust him again.
01:15:44Well, I hope you get the chance to find out.
01:15:46Ian, are you all right?
01:15:58We've got to leave soon for the airport.
01:15:59Lady Violet, there's something I have to say.
01:16:05The tutor you secured for me back at Eden changed my life.
01:16:09And not just because he taught me how to read,
01:16:11but because he showed me I wasn't broken.
01:16:12The children here in New York have the same potential.
01:16:17I don't want to just drop in and disappear.
01:16:20I want to build something lasting,
01:16:22like we did in London, like we could all over the world.
01:16:26Let the Braxton name stand for something.
01:16:30Let it stand for hope for children everywhere.
01:16:35I have a plan.
01:16:42Dear Grayson, I hope that you are enjoying Christmas.
01:16:47It's hard to believe a year has passed since I got married.
01:16:50The irony of my new station in life is not lost on me,
01:16:53although there are some undeniable perks
01:16:55that come with the title.
01:16:57With Love, Charlotte.
01:16:59He's going to study design in London.
01:17:21The locket is beautiful.
01:17:22I've had it since I was a young girl in New York.
01:17:25Grayson!
01:17:32Grayson!
01:17:33Are you all right?
01:17:35Charlotte!
01:17:37It's Lady Braxton.
01:17:38And she is here in the hotel right now.
01:17:43I know, I know.
01:17:44You know?
01:17:44I know, yes.
01:17:45Why didn't you say anything?
01:17:47Because I'm too old to chase magic.
01:17:49What?
01:17:50No!
01:17:51You told me that life is about recognizing opportunities
01:17:55when it presents itself.
01:17:56And this, Grayson,
01:17:58this is more than that.
01:18:01This is fate.
01:18:04You don't mess with fate.
01:18:07Is she still here?
01:18:09She's still here.
01:18:11Okay.
01:18:11Come on!
01:18:12Okay.
01:18:12Okay.
01:18:12Lady Braxton?
01:18:25Lady Braxton?
01:18:35Grayson.
01:18:37You still recognize me?
01:18:39I would know you in any lifetime.
01:18:45Sorry.
01:18:46You're right.
01:18:50Lady Violet?
01:18:52Do you know where Ian is?
01:18:53He and Spencer are just ahead of us,
01:18:55heading to the car.
01:18:56Thank you.
01:19:01It's so good to see you.
01:19:03Leo, have you seen Ian?
01:19:25I'm sorry.
01:19:25Their car just left for the airport.
01:19:31Wait!
01:19:33Hey.
01:19:41Art draws us in.
01:19:44Begs us to look closer.
01:19:46Love can do the same
01:19:48if we're brave enough to really look.
01:19:51Both found me when I wasn't searching
01:19:53in the quiet corridors
01:19:54of a grand hotel long ago.
01:19:58I realize now that love isn't waiting
01:20:00for the right moments.
01:20:01It's seizing it.
01:20:04You can't waste your life
01:20:05settling for anything less
01:20:07than extraordinary love.
01:20:11I suppose it's your turn
01:20:25to run out on me.
01:20:35Thought you were on your way back to London.
01:20:37As soon as the Braxton's were all set at the end,
01:20:39but I came right back.
01:20:41Why?
01:20:41Because I've fallen for you, Sabrina.
01:20:46Harder than I ever thought possible.
01:20:49And because I couldn't leave
01:20:52without giving you your Christmas present.
01:20:53Oh, you shouldn't have.
01:20:57Oh, well, you know, if it's too much,
01:21:00I could likely take it back.
01:21:01Don't you dare.
01:21:03It's perfect.
01:21:04I'm sorry, I wasn't honest with you.
01:21:08I know you didn't mean to hurt me, Ian.
01:21:11I could have talked to you sooner.
01:21:15Deep down, I think I was afraid
01:21:16that I wasn't good enough
01:21:17for Lord Braxton.
01:21:19You're enough for any Lord,
01:21:23any Prince, any King,
01:21:25anywhere on this Earth.
01:21:28And you're more than enough for me.
01:21:34How's this gonna work?
01:21:36You being an ocean away
01:21:37and me being...
01:21:38Well, I spoke to Lady Violet.
01:21:41We're bringing the charity here.
01:21:45Now that's a plot twist
01:21:46I didn't see coming.
01:21:49Sabrina Parker.
01:21:54Would you like to spend Christmas
01:21:55here with me in New York this year?
01:22:03Just this year?
01:22:19This time last year,
01:22:30I embarked on a journey
01:22:32that I thought would be about art deals.
01:22:35But the real story was you.
01:22:37And it's always been you.
01:22:42Since that Christmas
01:22:43that you taught me
01:22:43to open my heart,
01:22:45I've...
01:22:45I've spent years
01:22:47searching for success.
01:22:51But the truth is,
01:22:53what I was searching for
01:22:54was a feeling.
01:22:56A feeling that I only had
01:22:58when I was with you
01:22:59and I was scared
01:23:00I would never find again.
01:23:03Charlotte,
01:23:04you were the greatest love
01:23:05I've ever known.
01:23:06Merry Christmas.
01:23:11I love the painter.
01:23:14Best story,
01:23:15so romantic.
01:23:16Mm-hmm.
01:23:17I can see why
01:23:17it's a bestseller.
01:23:19I've already started
01:23:20working on the sequel.
01:23:21Well...
01:23:21Good art.
01:23:28Mm-hmm.
01:23:33I can see what
01:23:35love was in the sequel.
01:23:36Maybe...
01:23:37Good art.
01:23:39Then...
