Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I love this place. Every twinkling light, every tray of sugar cookies. But love doesn't pay the rent. If something doesn't change soon, Sweet Claire's Bakery won't make it to the new year. I could really use a Christmas miracle.
00:00:20Oh, my God. Are you okay?
00:00:38I'm fine. Don't bother calling an ambulance. The roads are packed. Sorry. I didn't mean to crash here.
00:00:46Oh! This is Holly Creek, and we don't leave anyone in the snow.
00:00:54One moment of peace. That's all I wanted. One moment where I wasn't Nicholas Rudolph. The air, the sun, the puppet.
00:01:03When I asked for a Christmas miracle, I meant one to save my bakery. But instead, a gorgeous stranger is in my lap. Not that I'm complaining.
00:01:16You still haven't told me your name, or what you're doing in Holly Creek.
00:01:23Well, I'm Nick Rudolph. I was just passing through on business, but the storm had other plans for me.
00:01:30They tend to do that around here.
00:01:33Thanks for not leaving me out there.
00:01:35Oh, I could never.
00:01:36You're welcome to hang out until the storm passes.
00:01:42But keep in mind, um, everyone watches everyone in this small town, so folks already know that I brought you here.
00:01:50And the sheriff lives next door.
00:01:52Great. Well, don't try anything funny, okay?
00:01:55Claire. Oh, my God. Look what I found taped to the bakery door.
00:02:04If you don't come up with the rent money ASAP, sweet Claire's bakery is gone.
00:02:10But forget pesky foreclosure for a second.
00:02:13Who's the Christmas cookie?
00:02:15Um, I'm Nick. Claire rescued me tonight.
00:02:20Oh, it's a Christmas miracle.
00:02:23What?
00:02:24Nick, you can rescue Claire right back by entering the Christmas couples contest with her.
00:02:30I mean, winning would pay the bakery's rent for a year.
00:02:33Tessa, be serious, okay?
00:02:34I'm not parading around town faking a relationship with a stranger.
00:02:39I mean, Claire, you did rescue me tonight.
00:02:41I really don't mind repaying the favor.
00:02:44I don't like having unpaid debts.
00:02:47Kindness isn't a debt.
00:02:48Besides, how would I explain to my daughter that her mother's boyfriend is actually a scam to win a contest?
00:02:56You want to save the bakery, don't you?
00:03:01Fine.
00:03:02Okay, that's all then.
00:03:04Um, and according to the contest rules, you technically have to be married, so congratulations!
00:03:10Wait, what?
00:03:11What?
00:03:18Married?
00:03:20Why did I agree to this?
00:03:24Oh, yeah.
00:03:26Mm-mm.
00:03:30Not exactly the ring I was expecting.
00:03:33Hello?
00:03:34Why aren't you answering?
00:03:35I will look after you and Sophie.
00:03:40I promise.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:43Uh, well, the contest ends on Christmas Eve.
00:03:46So, you just have to be fake married for 12 days.
00:03:5012 days of Christmas.
00:03:52Of course.
00:03:53Luckily, I work remote, so I have nowhere to be.
00:04:02Right.
00:04:03Oh, um...
00:04:07Sweetie.
00:04:08This is my friend Nick.
00:04:10Um, we kind of entered the Christmas couples contest together, and...
00:04:16Well, now we are sort of married?
00:04:19I know that it's not honest, but, um...
00:04:23Ugh.
00:04:24Mom, stop.
00:04:25You're doing it to save the bakery, aren't you?
00:04:29I can't lose it, so...
00:04:32I know.
00:04:33Me neither.
00:04:34I'm keeping an eye on you.
00:04:37Fair enough.
00:04:38What's your credit score?
00:04:43Listen.
00:04:43Before you sleep here, I need to make sure you're not a serial killer.
00:04:49Absolutely.
00:04:50Okay.
00:04:52Uh, you said your name is Nick Rudolph?
00:04:54Type Nicholas instead of Nick, and you'd see the weight I left behind.
00:04:58The company, the fortune, the fiancé.
00:05:03Nothing suspicious.
00:05:06Guess you passed the test, fake husband.
00:05:11I was worried there for a minute.
00:05:14So, what do you do, Mr. Rudolph?
00:05:19I do consulting, finance, you know, a little this, a little that.
00:05:24It's, you know...
00:05:25A little, uh, guiding Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve.
00:05:28Okay, that's the one Rudolph joke you get.
00:05:32Why would you even agree to this?
00:05:34It's been a minute since I've done something kind for someone else.
00:05:39So I figure, fake marriage, beautiful woman, there are definitely bigger crosses to bear.
00:05:48What about you?
00:05:49No matter how hard I fight, I can't save my bakery.
00:05:58It's my whole world.
00:06:01If we don't win, I'm gonna lose it.
00:06:09Hey.
00:06:11We're gonna win.
00:06:12Where are you?
00:06:26Call me!
00:06:26What are you hiding, Nick Rudolph?
00:06:39Oh!
00:06:40Oh!
00:06:42Sorry!
00:06:43I, uh, didn't see you.
00:06:45Good morning to you too, wife.
00:06:47Good morning.
00:06:54We're married now, sweetheart.
00:06:57There's no harm in looking.
00:06:58I wasn't looking.
00:06:59I...
00:07:00I was forced to look when you planted yourself into my view with your...
00:07:05body and towel.
00:07:08I mean, I can take it off if you want.
00:07:09No!
00:07:12Uh, no.
00:07:15There will be none of that.
00:07:18My daughter will be up soon, sir.
00:07:20If you will excuse me, I have laundry to do.
00:07:24I have laundry to do this way.
00:07:30That way.
00:07:31Uh-huh!
00:07:36Oh, girl!
00:07:38If it isn't Holly Creek's newest sweetheart.
00:07:42Mayor Betty, welcome in.
00:07:44What can I get for you?
00:07:45Oh, no.
00:07:46I'm just browsing, of course.
00:07:47Uh, so, tell me.
00:07:50How'd you two meet?
00:07:52Hmm?
00:07:52I thought I knew all the goings-on around here, but, oh, wow.
00:07:57This was a big surprise.
00:07:59Um...
00:08:00We met at the Christmas market, of course.
00:08:05Our, uh, hands touched reaching for the same gingerbread cookie.
00:08:08Oh, he is good.
00:08:11Too good.
00:08:13Sounds like fate.
00:08:15Ha ha ha.
00:08:15Sure does.
00:08:17You two are gonna win the contest.
00:08:20Ooh, I can feel it.
00:08:22I sure hope so.
00:08:23Ha ha ha.
00:08:25Wow, it smells amazing in here.
00:08:34Thank you so much.
00:08:35What can I get for you?
00:08:36Oh, uh, I'd love a dozen sugar cookies.
00:08:39And I'd like six of your candy cane cookies, please.
00:08:41Well, and I'll take six of each of those cookies, too, darling.
00:08:45Sounds great.
00:08:46Um, those will be ready in just a minute.
00:08:48This is the busiest I've been in months.
00:08:51Maybe people are starting to remember this place exists.
00:08:54I can help.
00:08:56You don't need to.
00:08:57Uh...
00:08:58How did he even...
00:09:03Okay, we need to get you an apron.
00:09:05You are a disaster.
00:09:07But a charming one, right?
00:09:08What if this wasn't just pretend?
00:09:12We'll add some wedding cookies to my order, too.
00:09:16Uh, of course.
00:09:17Ha ha ha.
00:09:20She stole my fiancée.
00:09:24Oh, she'll pay for it.
00:09:34Damn.
00:09:36I mean, darn.
00:09:37I gotta take this.
00:09:39I'll be right back.
00:09:40I'm so sorry, you know.
00:09:41No, no, sure.
00:09:42Yeah, your phone is obviously important.
00:09:44I thought I smelled sulfur in the air.
00:09:56End this charade before you ruin us.
00:09:58Us?
00:09:59No, you mean the empire.
00:10:01The name, the brand, that's all you've ever cared about.
00:10:03Of course.
00:10:04And you would throw it all away?
00:10:06The status.
00:10:10The power.
00:10:12The billions of dollars.
00:10:14All for what?
00:10:16Some small-town baker?
00:10:18For a real life.
00:10:19I am done being your puppet.
00:10:23I don't need the company.
00:10:24I don't need Hunter.
00:10:25And I sure as hell don't need a fortune if it means living a life that's not mine.
00:10:29You will marry Hunter.
00:10:32The date is set.
00:10:33The press is waiting.
00:10:36And this ring belongs on her finger.
00:10:40And you will put it there, son.
00:10:44Or else.
00:10:45No.
00:10:49That choice was never mine, and it never will be.
00:10:52And maybe I'll regret it.
00:10:54But at least then it'll be my choice.
00:10:57And not yours, mother.
00:10:59Then you are a bigger fool than I feared.
00:11:06That's the last time you touched me.
00:11:09What the hell was that about?
00:11:12Mom, are you okay?
00:11:15Oh, good, honey.
00:11:17Why don't you go brush your teeth and get into bed?
00:11:19I'll tuck you in soon.
00:11:20Fine.
00:11:26Nicholas.
00:11:34But there aren't any photos of this Nicholas.
00:11:37Could he really be my Nick?
00:11:39That's ridiculous.
00:11:40He can't be.
00:11:41Why would he lie about who he is?
00:11:45Oh.
00:11:51Claire?
00:11:53Who are you really, Nick?
00:11:56Who keeps blowing up your phone?
00:11:58Who is that woman outside?
00:12:00I borrowed a suitcase from my friend Nicholas.
00:12:03This is his luggage tag.
00:12:04What is going on?
00:12:05You just happened to somehow be best friends with a billionaire who shares your exact name?
00:12:10No.
00:12:11He's Nicholas.
00:12:12I'm Nick.
00:12:13It's a pretty common first name, and Rudolph is a pretty standard last name, too.
00:12:16Is it now?
00:12:18Yeah.
00:12:18Trust me.
00:12:19I wouldn't want anyone mistaking me for a billionaire.
00:12:21What about the rest of my questions?
00:12:25Okay.
00:12:26The woman outside, and the phone calls, and text messages, it's all work-related.
00:12:31I didn't tell anyone I was leaving town, or that I'd be staying through Christmas.
00:12:35Well, if you need to go...
00:12:39No, no, no, no.
00:12:40Claire.
00:12:41Come here.
00:12:42I want to be here.
00:12:43I want you to win the contest.
00:12:45I promise.
00:12:46There's nothing you need to worry about.
00:12:49Can I help you clean up?
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:51Thanks.
00:13:09Now I know where you live, bitch.
00:13:12Mom!
00:13:14Mom!
00:13:15Honey, what's wrong?
00:13:16There was a lady outside my window.
00:13:18She was watching us.
00:13:19What?
00:13:21I don't see anybody.
00:13:25She was there.
00:13:26I saw her.
00:13:27I believe you, sweetie.
00:13:29Okay?
00:13:29But don't worry.
00:13:31I'm right here.
00:13:32Sophie, stay with your mom.
00:13:35I'll go make sure it's safe.
00:13:36Do you miss me?
00:13:53Hunter, don't.
00:13:55Oh, stop.
00:13:57How long is this joke going to go on for?
00:14:00Oh, I'm not joking.
00:14:01We're doing business my way now.
00:14:03Wow.
00:14:04Whoever she is, he shot her down fast.
00:14:07But they look so good together.
00:14:10If Nick has a chance with someone who looks like that, I wouldn't blame him.
00:14:14I'm a mess.
00:14:15Oh, really?
00:14:17Yes, really.
00:14:19Now, I told you to back off.
00:14:21I know we have a plan, but I just, I need some time to think.
00:14:25Okay?
00:14:26She's relentless.
00:14:28Maybe Nick could use some backup.
00:14:30Mm-hmm.
00:14:33Huh.
00:14:34You.
00:14:35Excuse me?
00:14:37Oh, you must be the owner of this little shop.
00:14:41It's cute.
00:14:43Shame about the decor and that yeasty smell.
00:14:47Triple chocolate turnovers.
00:14:49Freshly baked.
00:14:51Care to try one?
00:14:52Oh, I wouldn't eat a thing from this podunk town, let alone your bakery.
00:14:57Well, then perhaps you don't have any business here.
00:15:00You're welcome to leave.
00:15:02Oh, gladly, sweetie.
00:15:04You know, you couldn't pay me to get out of here fast enough.
00:15:08Oh!
00:15:09Oh!
00:15:10Are you serious?
00:15:11This, this coat is Marc Jacobs.
00:15:14It's dry clean only.
00:15:15Go!
00:15:16Go!
00:15:22I'm so sorry.
00:15:24She's a lot.
00:15:27Well, everybody's got that one person.
00:15:30Yeah.
00:15:31She and I have closed a lot of deals together.
00:15:34And she's had it bad for me for years.
00:15:38Lucky you.
00:15:40No.
00:15:41No, I'm not interested at all.
00:15:44I should have told her the truth about Hunter.
00:15:46But I'm trying to forget all about that life.
00:15:48Just for a little while.
00:15:52Meet me tomorrow night.
00:15:54No excuses.
00:16:01All right, what first?
00:16:04All right, uh, hand me the gingerbread cookies.
00:16:06Sweet.
00:16:07Only if I get to try one first.
00:16:08You get one.
00:16:10It's supposed to be pretend.
00:16:12So why does it feel real?
00:16:15She makes me forget why I ever had to lie.
00:16:21Be here all day if you do this, you know.
00:16:23I'm kidding.
00:16:28Try some.
00:16:28If only other messes were this easy to clean up.
00:16:40Perfect.
00:16:42Almost perfect.
00:16:43Perfect.
00:16:43Well, sorry to interrupt.
00:16:56We weren't doing anything.
00:16:58Uh-huh.
00:16:59Sure.
00:17:01Uh, I should get home anyway and tuck Sophie in.
00:17:05I want to maybe tuck her in with me.
00:17:12I actually have some phone calls I have to make.
00:17:15But I'll be there later.
00:17:17Right.
00:17:18Of course.
00:17:18I don't want my real husband who've got business to do.
00:17:21That was a silly idea.
00:17:28I like Nick, Mom.
00:17:30I know, sweetie.
00:17:33Just remember he's not really a part of our family.
00:17:36But you're married.
00:17:37I know that it's complicated.
00:17:41Um, we just can't get too attached.
00:17:44Okay.
00:17:45Because at some point, he's going to have to leave.
00:17:49But what if I want him to stay?
00:17:52That's up to him.
00:17:54You want him to stay, right?
00:17:58Like I said, it's complicated.
00:18:02I love you, sweetie.
00:18:04Love you.
00:18:07Welcome in.
00:18:15I just had to come back to see your charming little shop
00:18:18and check if things got any better.
00:18:21It's good to see you.
00:18:23You look a little less powdery today.
00:18:27You know, none of this is Nick, by the way.
00:18:32He's on a break from his real life, but that's all this is.
00:18:35A break.
00:18:36I'm not holding him hostage.
00:18:38Oh, no, of course you're not.
00:18:40But once he's tired of this little charade, he'll leave.
00:18:43And you'll go back to your small, dull life.
00:18:47I love my life.
00:18:52Mr. Spot.
00:18:53You really got to cut back on the yeast.
00:19:05Oh!
00:19:05Stay away from Claire.
00:19:11Stop coming to the bakery.
00:19:13Or what?
00:19:14You'll give everything up for a small-town loser?
00:19:16Oh, God, Snow.
00:19:19I gave you up.
00:19:22Please.
00:19:23You've always been so dramatic.
00:19:25This is not you, Nick.
00:19:27Stop pretending.
00:19:28I'm telling you, stop this right now.
00:19:30Oh, we both know there's no way out for you.
00:19:34And soon enough, you'll come crawling back right where you belong.
00:19:44With me.
00:19:45Boo.
00:19:45Oh, no, Claire.
00:19:54So, how's your business?
00:19:57I mean, it seems like you've got a lot going on.
00:19:59I'd rather not talk about it, if that's okay.
00:20:04Oh.
00:20:05Sure.
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:08It's just very stressful.
00:20:11And to be honest, it's not the best date conversation.
00:20:15It's really kind of a mood killer, you know?
00:20:18Is this a date?
00:20:21I don't know.
00:20:23We have some lovely wine.
00:20:25We have candlelight.
00:20:27I'm sitting here getting to know a beautiful woman whose company I'm thoroughly enjoying.
00:20:32It feels like a date to me.
00:20:33Okay, but I mean, like, um, is this a date?
00:20:38Because we're, you know, married, or is this like a real date date?
00:20:46You tell me.
00:20:52So you've been staying here with me and my daughter?
00:20:55Do you want kids someday?
00:20:57Oh, I would love kids.
00:20:58Yeah?
00:20:59Yeah.
00:20:59Mm-hmm.
00:21:00If only to break the cycle of how I grew up.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:04Oh.
00:21:05What happened?
00:21:07Well, when I was 12, my father passed away.
00:21:10After that, it was all responsibility.
00:21:12I had to be the man of the house.
00:21:14I had to hold up the family name.
00:21:15It's just...
00:21:16Wow.
00:21:18That sounds like a lot for a kid.
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:23That was a crown I never wanted, and my mother made sure I never forgot about it.
00:21:30Sounds like you kind of needed a break.
00:21:32And maybe a fake marriage to help you forget.
00:21:36I did.
00:21:40Tell you the truth, this is the most at home I've felt in years.
00:21:48Well, that's just sad.
00:21:51It is, isn't it?
00:21:52Yeah.
00:21:52Yeah.
00:21:59I think that it is time for more wine.
00:22:01I think so.
00:22:02Okay.
00:22:03Mm-hmm.
00:22:03Who are you, Nick Rudolph?
00:22:19Who are you, Nick Rudolph?
00:22:33What are you doing?
00:22:45What are you doing?
00:22:47Your coat looked like it was going to fall off.
00:22:50Thanks.
00:22:53You need any help with the wine?
00:22:54Nope.
00:22:55Nope.
00:22:56Why don't you go sit back down?
00:22:58I'm a perfectly capable business owner.
00:23:02I've gotten this far on my own.
00:23:04You know we're fake married to help save your bakery, right?
00:23:07Okay, sir.
00:23:09I think I can get some wine on my own.
00:23:13Okay.
00:23:13Okay.
00:23:25Okay.
00:23:26Come on, Claire.
00:23:26Keep it together.
00:23:29This is a fake marriage.
00:23:30He's just acting.
00:23:32He's just really good at acting.
00:23:35And at my engagement rings way too fast.
00:23:39I want it to be real.
00:23:41No, no, no, you don't.
00:23:43Your life is great as it is.
00:23:44You have everything you have ever wanted.
00:23:48Except maybe like a gorgeous husband.
00:23:50Who is kind.
00:23:51With a smile and abs.
00:23:54Are you sure you don't want my help?
00:23:56Yes.
00:23:57Uh, no.
00:23:59Whatever it means that I don't need you.
00:24:05I know you don't need me.
00:24:08The question was.
00:24:14Do you want me?
00:24:21Damn it.
00:24:24I'm sorry.
00:24:25I...
00:24:25Sorry.
00:24:28How am I supposed to get through six more days knowing he's hiding something?
00:24:42It's not working.
00:24:48We were supposed to expose them as a fake couple, but look at how in love they look.
00:24:54Look at this.
00:24:56We'll have to adjust our strategy.
00:24:58Uh...
00:24:58Because come hell or high water, you will be marrying myself.
00:25:03I'll just have to destroy her another way.
00:25:09Be careful.
00:25:10My son still has a legacy waiting.
00:25:13If you crush anyone, let it be clear.
00:25:16So, what do you think?
00:25:31It's amazing.
00:25:32Cookie butter hot chocolate.
00:25:34I'm thinking I'm serving it at the bakery.
00:25:36Stop thinking about it and start doing it.
00:25:38I mean, this would go viral.
00:25:40You think so?
00:25:42Claire!
00:25:42Speaking of things you should stop thinking about and start doing...
00:25:48Stop it.
00:25:54And I thought this cocoa was the only thing hot and steamy in here.
00:25:59It's only a few days to Christmas, and I realized...
00:26:03We don't have a tree.
00:26:05I know.
00:26:05I've just been so busy with the bakery and everything, I haven't even had time to think about it.
00:26:10Well, luckily for you, you don't have to.
00:26:12And I was thinking that the three of us...
00:26:14Well, me, Claire, and Sophie could decorate it together.
00:26:20Oh, what a cute and fun Christmassy thing to do together.
00:26:24As a family.
00:26:26Just so cute and fun and Christmassy and family.
00:26:30Are you finished?
00:26:31Well, I know it's been a while since you finished.
00:26:35Leave!
00:26:36Oh, my God!
00:26:37Have fun.
00:26:39Have tons of Christmassy family fun.
00:26:45So it's been a while.
00:26:46No.
00:26:47No.
00:26:47No.
00:26:49Okay.
00:26:54You know you're putting all the candy canes on one side, right?
00:26:57That's the best side.
00:26:59We'll fix it later.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:01Wow.
00:27:04I missed a tree.
00:27:06Claire!
00:27:09You caught me.
00:27:11Of course.
00:27:13I'd never let you fall.
00:27:19Let's put it on!
00:27:22Let's put it on.
00:27:24Ready?
00:27:24All right.
00:27:26One, two, three.
00:27:31Yes.
00:27:32Great job.
00:27:35It's perfect.
00:27:38Night, Mom.
00:27:39Night, Nick.
00:27:41Night, honey.
00:27:43Brush your teeth.
00:27:52Nick.
00:27:54How much of this is real?
00:27:59Claire.
00:28:00I...
00:28:01I'm so sorry.
00:28:09I have to take this.
00:28:12Of course.
00:28:12What is this?
00:28:27Hosted by Lillian Rudolph and Hunter Davis for the future Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Rudolph.
00:28:34It's tomorrow night?
00:28:36This couldn't be for anyone else.
00:28:38How long is this joke going to go on for?
00:28:46Man, there's like a thousand candy canes on here.
00:28:49I don't know how she does it.
00:28:53Are you okay?
00:28:54Fine.
00:28:56Just...
00:28:56Tired.
00:29:02About earlier.
00:29:03No, we don't need to talk about it.
00:29:05This is a fake marriage.
00:29:08Nothing is real.
00:29:09Claire, that's...
00:29:10I...
00:29:10Please, I just...
00:29:11I need a few minutes to my...
00:29:12I'll leave you to it.
00:29:19Hey.
00:29:28I need you.
00:29:31Now.
00:29:38Meet Lillian Rudolph.
00:29:39Mother to Nicholas Rudolph.
00:29:41That woman was here the other day.
00:29:45Nick said she was someone from his office.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:49There's gotta be a reason why he'd say that.
00:29:56I knew he was hiding something, but...
00:29:58Engaged?
00:30:00And he's here pretending with me?
00:30:03God, no wonder his fiance hates me.
00:30:05He's pretending like he doesn't...
00:30:11In the alley, they were more than friendly.
00:30:17Oh, my God.
00:30:18I didn't want to tell you because I know how much you need the prize money.
00:30:21Wow.
00:30:23I am really stupid.
00:30:26I've just been taking his word when the truth was in front of me all along.
00:30:30You're not stupid.
00:30:32You like him.
00:30:33Of course you wanted to believe him.
00:30:36I'm confronting him.
00:30:37No.
00:30:37You can't blow up now.
00:30:39Not before the contest is over.
00:30:41Trust me.
00:30:44He's right.
00:30:52Hey.
00:30:54The post office sent a letter for your friend, Nicholas.
00:31:01Yeah, that...
00:31:03That'll happen from time to time.
00:31:04Oh.
00:31:10This is an invitation to a holiday gala.
00:31:14Would you want to go with me?
00:31:18Sure.
00:31:20I didn't think you were going to ask me.
00:31:22Why not?
00:31:24You are my wife.
00:31:27What's your game?
00:31:29This is ridiculous.
00:31:35I'll stick out like a candy cane in a sea of diamonds.
00:31:38Wow.
00:31:52I got it from a thrift store.
00:31:56I look ridiculous, don't I?
00:32:00Claire.
00:32:01You look the farthest thing from ridiculous.
00:32:10You look perfect.
00:32:11Where's Nicholas?
00:32:31You know, I think he stepped out for a second.
00:32:34Big crowds can kind of make it nervous.
00:32:37Damn.
00:32:38I can't wait to meet him.
00:32:39Nick looks like he was born for this.
00:32:44Because he was.
00:32:46So, how did he meet all these fancy people?
00:32:50Well, all these people are from my old life.
00:32:52A world I don't belong to anymore.
00:32:56Great.
00:32:57A contest, Judge.
00:32:58I can't blow this now.
00:33:00Not when I'm so close to saving my bakery.
00:33:03Claire.
00:33:04Nick.
00:33:05How good to see you again.
00:33:06Huh?
00:33:07Uh, what are you doing here?
00:33:10Not that I, I mean, I'm just surprised.
00:33:13Well, it's the darndest thing.
00:33:15I got this last minute invitation.
00:33:17All the judges did.
00:33:19And I'm so glad I came because this party is the fanciest thing I've ever seen.
00:33:23Wait.
00:33:24You're all here?
00:33:25Oh, yeah.
00:33:26Now, don't tell anyone.
00:33:28But you two are my favorites.
00:33:30You're Holly Creek's picture-perfect Christmas couple.
00:33:34You keep it up, and you're a shoe-in.
00:33:37Thanks.
00:33:39Someone invited all the judges here tonight?
00:33:42What's going on?
00:33:44Something's wrong.
00:33:46She knows.
00:33:47She has to know.
00:33:49Claire, can I talk to you for a second?
00:33:50Oh, now you want to talk?
00:33:51You sure your phone's not about to ring?
00:33:54Claire, I know you're angry, but...
00:33:55Yeah, of course I'm angry.
00:33:56I'm done taking your lies.
00:33:58Nick, fake marriage or not, you owe me some real honesty.
00:34:07Nick, darling.
00:34:09Yes, baby.
00:34:14Oh, no.
00:34:16Cheap fabric, I suppose.
00:34:18Hunter, apologize to her right now.
00:34:21If we're walking into a crowded room, be serious.
00:34:24Where's my champagne?
00:34:26You do not touch her.
00:34:28You do not go near her.
00:34:29Do you understand me?
00:34:32You know, everyone's been whispering about this little arrangement.
00:34:36Why keep pretending?
00:34:38Nick is mine.
00:34:40Hunter, it's enough.
00:34:42This charade has gone on long enough.
00:34:45A girl like you, from a town like this, you will never be good enough for my son.
00:34:52Leave him, Claire.
00:34:54You will never, ever, belong in our world.
00:34:59Claire, please don't listen to them.
00:35:01You belong with me.
00:35:03It shouldn't hurt this much.
00:35:05But it does.
00:35:07I can't stay.
00:35:08Claire, wait.
00:35:18I am done waiting.
00:35:21I'm over your lies, Nick.
00:35:23Let me tell you the truth.
00:35:25I fell for you the moment we met.
00:35:28I did.
00:35:29Claire, you're a good person.
00:35:30And I don't have very many good people in my life right now.
00:35:33There you are.
00:35:37Claire, you saved me.
00:35:39You literally opened your home for a stranger.
00:35:41And you didn't have any agendas or ask questions or even care about who I really was.
00:35:47You just saw a person in need and helped them.
00:35:49It's what anyone would do.
00:35:52No.
00:35:53No, it isn't.
00:35:55Claire, you make me feel human again.
00:35:57You made me believe that you were someone I could see myself with.
00:36:04As stupid as this fake marriage is, my feelings for you became real.
00:36:13I take you home.
00:36:15Okay?
00:36:20Nick!
00:36:21What are you even doing with her?
00:36:23Come back to the party.
00:36:24It's where you belong with me.
00:36:26Come.
00:36:27I don't belong to you, Hunter.
00:36:29I never did.
00:36:36Claire, wait!
00:36:37Tell me the truth!
00:36:39All of it!
00:36:41Yes.
00:36:42I was engaged to Hunter, but it was never love.
00:36:46It was a deal my mother forced on me.
00:36:48It was a duty, security, and it was a prison.
00:36:52So what?
00:36:53You just forgot to mention that you already belonged to someone else?
00:36:56Is that what the engagement ring was in your coat pocket?
00:37:04Engagement ring?
00:37:05Oh, God.
00:37:07Claire.
00:37:08That ring was never mine.
00:37:11It's something my mother gave me to try to force me back to Hunter.
00:37:14I never belonged to Hunter.
00:37:16I never belonged to anyone.
00:37:17And that's the point.
00:37:18For the first time in my life, I feel free with you.
00:37:22Don't say things like that!
00:37:24Oh, my God.
00:37:24You think I want this?
00:37:26You think I'm not tearing myself apart every second I'm near you?
00:37:29I left my old life because I couldn't breathe.
00:37:34My father had passed away.
00:37:36My mother's grip was iron, and Hunter was a leash around my neck.
00:37:40Then why do you still let them control you?
00:37:44Because until you, I never knew what it felt like to want more.
00:37:47Look, every smile with Hunter was staged.
00:37:51Every word was rehearsed.
00:37:52Until I stumbled into your bakery, and you changed everything.
00:37:58I want to believe him, but if I do, I'll lose everything when he breaks me again.
00:38:04Claire, you are kind and loyal, and you fight for what's right, even when it's difficult.
00:38:13You are everything Hunter isn't, everything my family isn't.
00:38:16You're saying the words that I've waited my whole life to hear.
00:38:22But how can I trust you when you've been lying to me?
00:38:30You embarrassed me.
00:38:32Time to ruin your hick wife.
00:38:39I'll leave you to your phone, Nick.
00:38:43Claire.
00:38:44You're pushing away the one thing that makes you happy.
00:38:53This isn't about happiness.
00:38:55Nick lied.
00:38:56You were ready to torch him for it, too, remember?
00:38:58I know, but maybe...
00:39:00But what?
00:39:01Why should I fix things with a liar?
00:39:03Because I've seen the way he looks at you.
00:39:06Like you hung the moon.
00:39:07And I've never seen you happier than when you're with him.
00:39:10And I'm not letting you give that up without a fight.
00:39:12He doesn't want Hunter.
00:39:14He wants you.
00:39:17Then he needs to prove it.
00:39:19I hope he does.
00:39:20For both of your sakes.
00:39:21Sorry, we're actually closed for the night.
00:39:45Claire!
00:39:47Let her go!
00:39:48Claire, look at me.
00:40:07I'm fine.
00:40:08I'm okay.
00:40:08But you, he had a knife.
00:40:10You shouldn't have attacked him.
00:40:11I had to.
00:40:12I could have let her hurt you.
00:40:15Your arm!
00:40:16No, I'm fine.
00:40:17It's fine.
00:40:18It's okay.
00:40:19I know that you're safe, all right?
00:40:20Claire, I do it a thousand times, okay?
00:40:22Nick.
00:40:23But you can count on me.
00:40:25Always.
00:40:26If this is what it feels like to be loved by him, how could I ever let it go?
00:40:32Thank you, officer.
00:40:33If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
00:40:40Hey.
00:40:41I should stay.
00:40:44Figure out what's next.
00:40:46Okay.
00:40:47Then, I'm staying too.
00:40:50Nick.
00:40:51Don't make me need you.
00:40:53Not tonight.
00:40:55Need me.
00:40:56Let me in.
00:40:58You should go.
00:41:00I've got this.
00:41:00Okay.
00:41:07Well, if you need me, then...
00:41:09I won't.
00:41:17Come home by Christmas Eve or you lose everything.
00:41:23You don't scare me.
00:41:25Don't play the hero.
00:41:26I don't just want you married in the new year.
00:41:29I want you married to Hunter.
00:41:30She has proof, Nicholas.
00:41:33Proof that your little marriage is fake.
00:41:35Enough to ruin her.
00:41:37Unless something unfortunate happens first.
00:41:40This town used to be so safe.
00:41:43What is this world coming to?
00:41:45You could have killed her.
00:41:46As if anyone would care.
00:41:48She's just a nobody from some dead-end town.
00:41:51You touch her again, and I swear you'll be sorry.
00:41:53Dad isn't here to protect you anymore.
00:41:57You try it.
00:41:58Your father will be rolling over in his grave.
00:42:01Try me.
00:42:04Every step feels heavier.
00:42:06I finally found someone who sees me.
00:42:09The man, not the name.
00:42:11And now I have to walk away.
00:42:13From her.
00:42:14From Sophie.
00:42:16From a life that could have been mine.
00:42:18Nick!
00:42:20How are ya?
00:42:21Yeah.
00:42:21I've been better.
00:42:24Well, one of the judges said he saw you and Claire having a spat with someone at the gala.
00:42:32What?
00:42:33I told him that you and Claire are solid.
00:42:36I'm not so sure.
00:42:37You love her, don't you?
00:42:40Yeah.
00:42:41I do love her.
00:42:43Good.
00:42:43Just lean into that, huh?
00:42:46And you'll surely win.
00:42:47Huh?
00:42:49Hey, I'll see you on Christmas Eve.
00:42:52Thank you, Mary.
00:42:52All right.
00:42:53Good night.
00:43:00I could have lost everything tonight.
00:43:03All that I built for myself, for Sophie, all of it, we're still here, still standing.
00:43:17Well, you're resilient.
00:43:19I'll give you that.
00:43:22But resilience won't protect you from what's coming.
00:43:26We're closed.
00:43:28Let's not waste time.
00:43:30You want money?
00:43:32I can make you comfortable.
00:43:34Very comfortable.
00:43:35I don't want your money.
00:43:36Everyone wants money, darling.
00:43:41Especially single moms with struggling bakeries.
00:43:47You think you can buy me off like you buy everything else?
00:43:50As if Nick were a thing to own, not a man, not the man.
00:43:55Nick and I are not for sale.
00:43:58Nick will never choose you over his real life.
00:44:02Do you know what it costs to be a Rudolph?
00:44:04Nick's never lived without it.
00:44:07He doesn't know how.
00:44:09He will resent you for making him lose everything.
00:44:15And he will blame you for it when the glitter fades.
00:44:18I don't scare easily, Lillian.
00:44:23We'll see.
00:44:25Last chance.
00:44:27Be smart.
00:44:29Take the money.
00:44:31He deserves so much better than the life you caged him in.
00:44:35And I deserve better than your bribes.
00:44:38So be it.
00:44:43Nick will hate you.
00:44:45Blame you for losing everything.
00:44:52Clean this up.
00:44:53It's disgusting.
00:44:55She's wrong.
00:44:57She has to be wrong.
00:44:59But why...
00:45:00Why does her voice sound so certain?
00:45:05We were lucky.
00:45:06If Nick showed up one minute later, I wouldn't be here.
00:45:10Sophie wouldn't have a mother.
00:45:12Nick saved us.
00:45:13But how do I trust a man who lies?
00:45:18I want to tell her everything.
00:45:20But every time I try, I'm interrupted or I say the wrong thing and I just end up pushing her further away.
00:45:26I should report you to the police for sending the attacker.
00:45:37I only heard about the attack after the fact and honestly, I was horrified.
00:45:42Yeah.
00:45:42Horrified it didn't work.
00:45:44That's a disgusting accusation.
00:45:46And one you would need proof in a court of law.
00:45:50Oh, I know.
00:45:51Just like I know it would never get traced back to you.
00:45:53It seems you haven't lost all your smarts after all.
00:45:58Okay, enough games.
00:46:00If you and Hunter back off just long enough for Claire to win the contest, I will do what you want.
00:46:07Come home for Christmas Day.
00:46:10Marry Hunter in the New Year and then Claire's little bakery will be safe.
00:46:16It was never about Hunter, was it?
00:46:18It was about destroying Claire.
00:46:21Destroying Claire?
00:46:21Claire, that girl will destroy you.
00:46:24She will take everything.
00:46:27And when the lights fade, you will resent Claire, just like I warned her.
00:46:33You want me home Christmas Day?
00:46:35Fine.
00:46:36I'll be there.
00:46:38But do not mistake this for obedience.
00:46:41Because the second Claire is safe, I will tear down everything you've built.
00:46:44And when I do, it won't be Hunter standing next to me.
00:46:48It'll be Claire.
00:46:49We'll see about that.
00:46:50She thinks she's won?
00:46:53She has no idea how far I'll go for Claire.
00:46:55Hello, Holly Creek.
00:46:58And welcome to the annual Holly Creek Merrily Married Christmas Couple Contest.
00:47:05The attack?
00:47:06Hunter smirk in my bakery?
00:47:08That ring box?
00:47:09I can't unsee any of it.
00:47:11I can't stop wishing none of it was true.
00:47:14So, our first competition is the three-legged race.
00:47:17So, I want you to give it up for our couples, Mike and Michelle, and Claire and Nick.
00:47:24She doesn't know the truth, but I'm playing along with my mother only to shield her.
00:47:29Are you almost done?
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32On your mark, get set, and go!
00:47:36You are enjoying this way too much.
00:47:58I'm guilty.
00:47:59I shouldn't want this.
00:48:01I shouldn't want him.
00:48:03But I do.
00:48:04I want to fix this.
00:48:05You deserve better than all this.
00:48:07And I swear, I'm going to make it up to you.
00:48:09All right.
00:48:10Is it Nick and Claire?
00:48:15Or Mike and Michelle?
00:48:17Michelle?
00:48:17I can't let myself want him again.
00:48:25Not when he's tangled too deep in their world.
00:48:28This is all I get?
00:48:29These stolen moments?
00:48:31I'll make every one of them count.
00:48:33And that was the last time we ate shellfish.
00:48:36I love you.
00:48:42Yes, well, thank you, Mike.
00:48:44That was beautiful.
00:48:47How do you tell the truth in front of the world when you don't even know if it's real anymore?
00:48:53I won't let her stand up here alone.
00:48:56Now for our last couple, they will now share their love story.
00:49:00When Nick showed up, I didn't believe in love.
00:49:10I believed in working hard, keeping my head down, and making Sophie's life brighter than mine ever was.
00:49:18Then, this mysterious stranger turned everything upside down.
00:49:30He made me laugh when I wanted to cry.
00:49:34He made me believe that I deserved more than just survival.
00:49:38Well, I hate him for lying, but I can't lie to myself.
00:49:42I love him.
00:49:43I love him.
00:49:44I had a life that looked perfect, but Valhalla.
00:49:49I had a life that looked perfect, but Valhalla.
00:49:55And then I met Claire, and she saw me.
00:49:57Not what was in my bank account, just me.
00:50:01And I never knew I could feel this alive.
00:50:06And if I could only carry one Christmas memory with me forever,
00:50:10it would be seeing Claire smile through that bakery window.
00:50:13Because the moment I saw that,
00:50:14I knew it was home.
00:50:20And I'll fight like hell not to lose her.
00:50:23Nick?
00:50:34It's you.
00:50:35It's always been you.
00:50:46I think that goes without saying.
00:50:48This year's contest winners are Claire and Nick.
00:50:57We got what we wanted.
00:51:01We won.
00:51:04I can't do this drama anymore.
00:51:08You can stay for Christmas morning.
00:51:10For Sophie's sake.
00:51:12And then you have to go home.
00:51:14Claire, listen to me.
00:51:15I don't want Hunter.
00:51:16I don't want any of this.
00:51:17I want you.
00:51:17If I let myself believe him, I'll burn.
00:51:21And I can't drag Sophie into the fire.
00:51:28Bye, bitch.
00:51:31Well, that was quite the kiss.
00:51:33I don't think you've ever kissed me like that.
00:51:36Because I never loved you.
00:51:38As if love had anything to do with us.
00:51:42Look, you got your deal.
00:51:43I played along for mother, but don't mistake it as a victory.
00:51:49As soon as I can find a way, you both lose me for good.
00:51:52How do you tell someone they saved you?
00:51:54How do you tell someone they saved you?
00:51:55That they made you want to stay?
00:51:59I love how you wrinkle your nose when you taste the frosting.
00:52:02How you hum when you think no one's listening.
00:52:05How you see Sophie and really see her.
00:52:12And how you looked at me like I was worth something.
00:52:18She'll find it when I'm gone.
00:52:20And maybe she'll know.
00:52:23Yes, yes, I know.
00:52:25I will get carrots for the reindeer.
00:52:27I'll see you when you get home.
00:52:40Foolish, trusting little Claire.
00:52:42Never leave your spare key under your doormat.
00:52:46You're basically inviting an intruder.
00:52:49Not like anybody would want to come in.
00:52:51Oh, gotcha.
00:53:13Sophie will be awake soon.
00:53:15Let's just try to give her the perfect Christmas morning before you go.
00:53:21Time to go, Nicholas.
00:53:24Excuse me?
00:53:25Why are you here so early?
00:53:27We haven't had Christmas morning yet.
00:53:28File that under things I couldn't care less about.
00:53:31You promised me.
00:53:32Now it's time to go.
00:53:33You can't just barge in here.
00:53:36I can.
00:53:37And I did.
00:53:38Come now, Nicholas.
00:53:40Or I'll ruin Claire publicly.
00:53:43Right here, right now.
00:53:44Your time is up.
00:53:48Annulment papers.
00:53:49Sign them.
00:53:50And the bakery stays open.
00:53:53You two remain contest winners.
00:53:55No scandal.
00:53:56No mess.
00:53:58You still think you can buy me off?
00:54:00This is not about you.
00:54:01I am saving my son from making a mistake.
00:54:05She is not a mistake.
00:54:07Don't ever say that again.
00:54:09Then prove it.
00:54:10By letting her keep her dream and walking away.
00:54:15You promised me you would marry Hunter, Nicholas.
00:54:17Do not go back on your word now.
00:54:19If I play this right, I can turn my mother's game back on her.
00:54:24Nick, don't do this for me.
00:54:26Do it for you if that's what you want.
00:54:31Claire, I need you to trust me.
00:54:34Even if I can't say why.
00:54:36Be smart, Nicholas.
00:54:38One signature.
00:54:43Ink or ruin?
00:54:51Your choice.
00:54:53Your choice.
00:54:56This.
00:55:00This was a mistake.
00:55:06Just sign the damn papers, Claire.
00:55:11That's really what you want?
00:55:13It's not.
00:55:14God, it's not.
00:55:17Wise choice.
00:55:18No!
00:55:20No, don't go!
00:55:21Oh, baby.
00:55:26I thought you loved us.
00:55:29Idiot child.
00:55:33It was only for the contest.
00:55:37Tell her, Nick.
00:55:42It was only for the contest.
00:55:45See?
00:55:46As if he could ever love the two of you.
00:55:51No!
00:55:53Bastard.
00:55:55I will never forgive you for this.
00:55:57I don't need your forgiveness.
00:55:59Just your obedience.
00:56:02Come now, Nick.
00:56:04Back to where you really belong.
00:56:07It's okay.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:09Okay.
00:56:09Okay.
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:11Okay.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:15Okay.
00:56:16He was the first thing I ever...
00:56:46... attack.
00:56:54...
00:56:56...
00:56:57...
00:56:57...
00:56:58...
00:56:58...
00:58:10It's over. Stop calling.
00:58:15You don't speak for me.
00:58:16If you call her again, I will make sure that her bakery burns to the ground by morning.
00:58:23An unfortunate accident. Tragic.
00:58:26Hang in there, Claire. I'll figure this out.
00:58:31I love you. Please, Nick. Call me.
00:58:39Why doesn't Nick love us?
00:58:45Honey, it's complicated.
00:58:47You always say it's complicated. Does he love us or not?
00:58:52I think so.
00:58:54And do you love him?
00:58:57I think so.
00:58:59See? It's not complicated.
00:59:00She's got a point.
00:59:04I really wish it was that simple.
00:59:06If I trust him, I could lose everything.
00:59:10If I don't trust him, I've already lost him.
00:59:13That's weird.
00:59:23If you want the truth, meet me in New York City on New Year's Eve.
00:59:28He's still reaching for me.
00:59:30What is it?
00:59:30Mom?
00:59:34It's a chance.
00:59:41So, why don't you go to your room for a little bit?
00:59:44I need to talk to Tessa.
00:59:46Mom.
00:59:46So.
00:59:48Fine, but I'm taking this with me.
00:59:57Nick didn't want that annulment.
00:59:59You saw his face, Claire?
01:00:02This must be breaking him.
01:00:04This is crazy.
01:00:06A chance?
01:00:07He signed the papers.
01:00:09I signed the papers.
01:00:10That's the end.
01:00:12Or maybe he was protecting you the only way he knew.
01:00:15He's been fighting his family every step of this.
01:00:18He didn't want to walk away.
01:00:21I didn't want him to walk away.
01:00:23So don't let it end like this.
01:00:25What if I go and he's already with Hunter?
01:00:30Then at least you'll know.
01:00:32If I go, I could break all over again.
01:00:36If I stay, I already am.
01:00:40Come to me, Claire.
01:00:42Let me make this right.
01:00:44I'll fight for us if you walk through that door.
01:00:46Your car's here?
01:00:48This is crazy.
01:00:50I can't just go to New York on a maybe.
01:00:52Yes, you can.
01:00:54Because that maybe, that's the man you love.
01:01:00Do I?
01:01:01Or do I just want to believe in him?
01:01:04For once in your life, let yourself be crazy in love.
01:01:07And go get your accidental Christmas husband back.
01:01:09That's exactly what this feels like.
01:01:13Crazy in love.
01:01:15But Sophie, she loves him too.
01:01:19If there's even a chance, I owe her this.
01:01:24Okay, I'm going.
01:01:25For her.
01:01:27And for me.
01:01:28Good.
01:01:30I'll watch her while you're gone.
01:01:32But hey, when you're back, I want a fairy tale ending.
01:01:36Oh my god!
01:01:39If I may say a few words.
01:02:01As you all know, it has been a very difficult year.
01:02:05My husband passing, company in chaos, and my son going off to find himself.
01:02:15But as every good mother knows, sometimes you need to let your children spread their wings.
01:02:22And as every good son does, my Nicholas returned home.
01:02:26With that said, please, help me welcome the future Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas and Hunter Rudolph.
01:02:38This isn't me.
01:02:42It never was.
01:02:45Smile.
01:02:45Pretend you're happy.
01:02:47We're so grateful you all came to celebrate our joy.
01:02:50All I see is her face, even when she's not here.
01:02:56Especially when she's not here.
01:03:09I'm too late.
01:03:10He's already theirs.
01:03:12She came.
01:03:13Don't you dare remember what your father wanted.
01:03:17Dad would want me to be happy.
01:03:19Don't you dare.
01:03:22What's she doing here?
01:03:24Security, get her out of here.
01:03:28Touch her and you'll answer to me.
01:03:31Nick, my love, what are you doing?
01:03:33Nicholas, don't do anything you'll regret.
01:03:35I lost her once.
01:03:36I won't let her go again.
01:03:37He still wants me, even now.
01:03:40Nick, if you walk towards her, you burn everything down.
01:03:44The empire, the fortune, your father's name.
01:03:49Maybe everything needs to burn.
01:03:59How dare you!
01:04:00You're all fired!
01:04:02Claire, my feelings for you have never been fake.
01:04:05You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:04:08Nicholas, do not do something you will regret.
01:04:11You humiliated me, Nick.
01:04:13Nicholas, that's quite enough.
01:04:15I am telling you now.
01:04:16Come to your senses before you ruin everything.
01:04:19I ruined everything the moment I let you control my life.
01:04:24This is me trying to fix it.
01:04:27Claire, you saved me.
01:04:29Literally.
01:04:31You cared about me when you didn't think I had anything.
01:04:33I can't lose you again.
01:04:35Not to them.
01:04:36This, this nobody, she'll destroy you.
01:04:41Destroy me.
01:04:44She's the only one who's tried to put me back together.
01:04:46Do you feel the same way?
01:04:48Do you feel the same way?
01:04:48Yes.
01:04:53I love you, Nick.
01:04:56As crazy as this all is, and as fast as it happened, I do.
01:05:00I love you.
01:05:01I choose her.
01:05:07I choose love.
01:05:08I choose my life.
01:05:10Not the one you tried to buy for me.
01:05:13You'll regret this.
01:05:18Nicholas.
01:05:20You are no longer a Rudolph.
01:05:23Get out of my sight.
01:05:25Gladly.
01:05:25But hear this, mother.
01:05:27If you ever try to come after Claire again, I'll publish all our family's dirty secrets.
01:05:32And I know you don't want that.
01:05:34Get out of here!
01:05:36Get out!
01:05:36Both of you!
01:05:39Let's go home.
01:05:40Yes, please.
01:05:41No, no, no, no, no, Erin, come back!
01:05:48Come back, it's not midnight yet!
01:05:50No, no, you can't leave!
01:05:52The ball hasn't dropped!
01:06:02I thought I lost you.
01:06:05You'll never lose me.
01:06:07Not again.
01:06:07Claire, I don't care about the money, the empire, or the name.
01:06:15The only life I want is the one with you.
01:06:19You mean it?
01:06:21Even after everything?
01:06:23Especially after everything.
01:06:26You're the only thing that's ever been real.
01:06:29You chose me.
01:06:33And I choose you.
01:06:37Happy New Year.
01:06:47I love you, Claire.
01:06:48I love you, too.
01:06:49I love you.
01:06:50I love you.
01:06:51I love you.
01:06:52I love you.
01:06:52I love you.
01:06:53I love you.
01:07:01Yeah, you're right.
01:07:03Hello.
01:07:03It looks beautiful.
01:07:05Oh, thank you.
01:07:05Seriously?
01:07:10Relax.
01:07:11I just set an alert on my phone.
01:07:14You're going to want to see this.
01:07:15Mm-hmm.
01:07:15I have a question.
01:07:28Can I maybe call you dad?
01:07:32I had been chasing the wrong family my whole life.
01:07:34But now, I found it.
01:07:36Nothing would make me happier.
01:07:41This is it.
01:07:42The family I never thought I'd have.
01:07:45The life I never dared to dream.
01:07:48I love you, Nick Rudolph.
01:07:50Should all acquaintances be forgotten and forgot to mind.
