00:36:52Wow, Lisa, I want you, you're in the cell.
00:37:15What have I done?
00:37:28Oh no, I'm at Max's place.
00:37:31Oh my gosh.
00:37:32Oh my gosh!
00:37:34I can't believe I slept with Max.
00:37:37Miss Von Klimt will murder me.
00:37:46Relax, Lisa.
00:37:47Max is famous.
00:37:48He probably has one night stands all the time.
00:37:50No reason he can't still fall for Miss Von Klimt.
00:37:55Lisa, what are you doing?
00:38:00Max, look, we don't have to talk about this.
00:38:03I'm a romance writer, I know what this is.
00:38:06What is this?
00:38:07Fun in the sun.
00:38:09Too much wine at dinner.
00:38:11One thing lit to another.
00:38:12It's not a big deal.
00:38:14I haven't slept with anyone, Lisa, since my wife left me.
00:38:18Oh.
00:38:20I want to see you again.
00:38:23And not just to get your notes.
00:38:35Me too.
00:38:40What's that?
00:38:54Giselle?
00:38:56What are you doing here?
00:39:00Miss Von Klimt?
00:39:01She's supposed to be out of town until Friday.
00:39:04Shh.
00:39:07Where's Spector?
00:39:08When Tony told me you were ready to sign the contract,
00:39:12I flew home early to personally deliver mimosas.
00:39:17Hope you're thirsty.
00:39:18Thanks, but it's not a very good time for me.
00:39:22What's wrong?
00:39:23You have company?
00:39:27Good thing I'm not the jealous type.
00:39:30Who's the lucky lady?
00:39:32Gentleman never tells.
00:39:36Thanks again.
00:39:37I'll see you at the signing.
00:39:39Cheers.
00:39:40Max!
00:39:41Go!
00:39:50Mimosas, anyone?
00:39:54Lisa?
00:39:59Lisa?
00:40:21Giselle!
00:40:22Giselle!
00:40:23You're home early!
00:40:24Did you have a sleepover with your fuck buddy last night?
00:40:27What was his name, by the way?
00:40:30He was just some guy from Tinder.
00:40:32Probably used a fake name anyway.
00:40:34Which was?
00:40:35Ma-
00:40:36Er-
00:40:38Jerry!
00:40:40Jerry McIntosh.
00:40:41Almost sounded like you were gonna say Max.
00:40:45That's funny.
00:40:48What's going on with my guy anyways?
00:40:51No, I've been having the nastiest dreams about him.
00:40:56I saw him a few times while you were away.
00:40:58Everything's in my journal.
00:40:59Let me see!
00:41:01My handwriting's a mess.
00:41:03I'll retype it for you by tonight.
00:41:05Okay.
00:41:06Nice work.
00:41:08I'm sending half your bonus.
00:41:10There better be some juicy shit in there.
00:41:15Thanks, Ms. Von Clemson!
00:41:23Oh, what is up, hot stuff?
00:41:25Keep it in your pants for once.
00:41:27Oh, come on.
00:41:28Everything's going according to plan.
00:41:30I'll see you at the signing.
00:41:31Oh, I will be there, beautiful.
00:41:45I'm getting carpal tunnel.
00:41:46This is, like, the longest contract I've ever signed.
00:41:48Hey, for the biggest check.
00:41:50Huh?
00:41:54Well, you just bought yourself a bestseller.
00:41:58Let's toast.
00:42:07You're awfully quiet today, Giselle.
00:42:09You know I'm thrilled.
00:42:11I'm your biggest fan.
00:42:13I was just thinking about your book that I finished last night.
00:42:17I was wondering if I should read it again before I return it to the library.
00:42:24I love libraries, but I wouldn't take you as the type.
00:42:27Oh, I love the smell of old books.
00:42:30Me too.
00:42:33Ha-ha!
00:42:35Hey!
00:42:38See you.
00:42:43To the thorn tree.
00:42:45To the thorn tree.
00:42:46Cheers.
00:42:50Well, when do we get to see the manuscript?
00:42:52I'm dying to read it.
00:42:54Just waiting for notes from the trusted reader.
00:42:56Really?
00:42:56Who?
00:42:57Don't worry.
00:42:58I'll send it soon.
00:43:03Well, that should get going.
00:43:05So, Tony, thanks for the champagne.
00:43:06You've got it, buddy.
00:43:07And I'll see you.
00:43:08Bye, Max.
00:43:10We'll be in touch.
00:43:15We signed, babe.
00:43:16We are almost there.
00:43:17And if everything else goes according to plan, you're going to be out of bankruptcy.
00:43:20And we are going to be filthy, stinking rich.
00:43:23You always know what to say to a girl, don't you?
00:43:26Well, I also know what to do to a girl, too.
00:43:32How's the nurse working out, Mom?
00:43:33Nice to have someone get the wine glasses down from the top shelf for me.
00:43:37I am so glad I can finally afford someone for you.
00:43:40Thank you, sugar.
00:43:41Just don't spend all your bonus on me.
00:43:45Gotta go.
00:43:46Love you.
00:43:51Miss Von Klimt, hi.
00:43:54Max?
00:43:56Am I interrupting something?
00:43:58No.
00:44:01But I, uh...
00:44:03So, can I come in?
00:44:05Resist, Lisa.
00:44:06Miss Von Klimt sees Max in here.
00:44:07I'm dead meat.
00:44:17At least I'll die happy.
00:44:20I'm dead meat.
00:44:23I'm dead.
00:44:25I'm dead meat.
00:44:31Nice.
00:46:22Oh, my God.
00:46:23Oh, my God.
00:46:24Giselle's home.
00:46:26Are you guys friends?
00:46:28We are, but I just don't want her to find out about us yet.
00:46:31Why not?
00:46:32Because you're a private person.
00:46:37It's none of her business.
00:46:39You're sweet.
00:46:45Lisa!
00:46:46Is Max in there?
00:46:53Max, what are you doing here?
00:46:58Discussing his manuscript.
00:47:02Lisa gives great notes.
00:47:06Well, actually, I'm glad you're here.
00:47:09Ocean Vuong's having a reading tonight.
00:47:11Are you free?
00:47:11I love Ocean Vuong.
00:47:15You should come with.
00:47:17Actually, Lisa has other plans.
00:47:19Too bad.
00:47:20We'll miss you.
00:47:42Are you sure you don't want to get a drink with Ocean?
00:47:44I mean, I was tempted.
00:47:46Ocean's a sweetheart, but I'm not much of a going out girl.
00:47:50I'd much rather stay in and curl up with a good book.
00:47:54I don't know.
00:47:55You seemed pretty cozy at that industry event the other night.
00:47:57Because I'm good at my job.
00:47:59Now, I'm a bookworm, Max.
00:48:01That is why I run a publishing company.
00:48:04Yeah, but didn't you inherit that company?
00:48:06What's your point?
00:48:08Okay, what's your favorite book?
00:48:10I'd have to say Wuthering Heights.
00:48:12It always makes me cry.
00:48:14Wuthering Heights?
00:48:15What?
00:48:15You don't like it?
00:48:16I've just been hearing a lot about that book lately.
00:48:18It's actually one of my favorites.
00:48:20Oh.
00:48:21Makes me cry.
00:48:25It's getting really cold outside.
00:48:26Do you want to come in for a coffee?
00:48:30Um...
00:48:31Yeah.
00:48:32Yeah, sure.
00:48:35Sorry.
00:48:43I know it's worked.
00:48:45I can't watch.
00:48:51I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, Giselle.
00:48:54I like you.
00:48:55And we have a lot of similar interests.
00:48:58I misread the situation, too.
00:49:00I like you, too.
00:49:02I'm seeing someone.
00:49:04And I really like her.
00:49:05And I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:49:08Maybe we can just be friends.
00:49:10I mean, we work together.
00:49:11It's a lot less complicated that way.
00:49:13Sure.
00:49:14I'd like that.
00:49:16Okay.
00:49:18Well, I gotta...
00:49:19Gotta get going.
00:49:20Have a good night.
00:49:21And good luck with that girl.
00:49:23Yeah.
00:49:24Thanks.
00:49:26Seeing someone?
00:49:28If it's that mousy little Lisa, I'm gonna feed that bitch rat poison.
00:49:32That home-wrecking whore has outstayed her welcome.
00:49:36Big time.
00:49:40Max and Giselle kissed.
00:49:42So what?
00:49:42That's a good thing.
00:49:44Why am I being so weird about it?
00:49:50Can we talk?
00:49:54Thanks so much for all your advice with Max.
00:49:57It's been working wonders.
00:49:58How'd it go, Leslie?
00:49:59Let's just say I think I'll be handling things on my own from here on out.
00:50:04That's great.
00:50:06I'm sending the rest of your bonus now.
00:50:09Pack your bags.
00:50:10Your car arrives in an hour.
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:16What?
00:50:17What?
00:50:17Did you think you were gonna move in?
00:50:19I'm rich, Lisa.
00:50:20I'm not looking for a roommate.
00:50:22I thought I'd have more time.
00:50:24For what?
00:50:26I never saw the Hollywood sign.
00:50:28Overrated.
00:50:29Pack your bags.
00:50:31Your car is gonna be here in an hour.
00:50:34Relax, poo-poo.
00:50:35I'm coming.
00:50:37Take the hint.
00:50:38Go back to Indiana and forget all about Max.
00:50:41He's in a Miss Van Clem now.
00:50:43We were never meant to be.
00:50:46I'm reading the sequel.
00:50:48Unless we are.
00:50:49What do I do?
00:50:53What do I do?
00:51:00What do I do?
00:51:20Almost to the airport.
00:51:28Can I change the destination?
00:51:34Come on, Max.
00:51:35Be home.
00:51:41Lisa.
00:51:44What's the matter?
00:51:47I...
00:51:49I...
00:51:50I...
00:51:50I...
00:51:53I...
00:51:54Hey.
00:51:56Just breathe.
00:51:58Calm down.
00:52:00You're with me now.
00:52:01Everything's gonna be just fine.
00:52:05I...
00:52:32That bitch better not have stopped for tacos on my dime.
00:52:35Wait.
00:52:36I know that address.
00:52:48Max's house?
00:52:50Oh.
00:52:51She's dead.
00:53:03I should go.
00:53:05Or I'll miss my flight.
00:53:06I...
00:53:06I just came to say goodbye.
00:53:08I didn't expect all of this.
00:53:14Maybe it sounds crazy, Lisa, but I'm falling for you.
00:53:20You can stay here with me as long as you want.
00:53:26Really?
00:53:28And if you miss your mom, I will fly her here.
00:53:31She can stay here.
00:53:32There's plenty of space.
00:53:34I'll put in ramps for her wheelchair.
00:53:37What about you and Miss Von Klimt?
00:53:40I saw you kissing last night.
00:53:42Well, then you must have missed me letting her down easy, because you are the only one that I want.
00:53:51Let me think about it.
00:53:53All right?
00:53:55Take as much time as you need.
00:54:08Real smooth, Max.
00:54:15I have to admit, I'm curious what she's working on next.
00:54:18One little pee couldn't hurt.
00:54:46What the hell is this?
00:54:51Max, I can explain.
00:54:52You're writing about us.
00:54:54About me.
00:54:55I told you, my journal's private.
00:54:57Then why does it look like you're writing your next romance novel?
00:55:00It does.
00:55:02You know, I don't want my personal life splattered around.
00:55:07Max, it's just my diary.
00:55:10I'd never dream of publishing it.
00:55:12I cannot believe I fell for your ugly duckling story.
00:55:16Just admit it.
00:55:17You are using me for material.
00:55:20I can't tell Max the truth, or it'll mean ratting out Miss Von Klimt.
00:55:23And that means losing my publishing contract.
00:55:25What do I do?
00:55:31Your silence says everything.
00:55:34Max, I never meant to hurt you.
00:55:36Don't you have a plane to catch?
00:55:38But Max!
00:55:39We are done.
00:55:41Get out, Lisa.
00:55:45And if I ever see this printed, you'll be hearing from my attorneys.
00:55:56I'm so sorry, Max.
00:56:12Need a ride, skink?
00:56:20What are you doing here?
00:56:22Bitch, what are you doing here?
00:56:25You're supposed to be at the airport right now.
00:56:27But no.
00:56:29You just had to stop by Max's for a little last quickie, didn't you?
00:56:33I can't explain.
00:56:35Now, I brought you out here for a reason.
00:56:37And that reason is not fucking Max behind my back.
00:56:41I trusted you.
00:56:43I'm so sorry I let you down.
00:56:46Max just broke up with me.
00:56:48You broke up?
00:56:51Max must be vulnerable.
00:56:52Maybe I'm still in the game after all.
00:56:57I'll forgive you if you leave right now.
00:57:00You can keep the money and the publishing deal.
00:57:03But I never want to see your face at LA again.
00:57:07Got it?
00:57:08Okay.
00:57:10Now beat it.
00:57:20Damn it, Lisa.
00:57:21I said to get out of here.
00:57:22We're through.
00:57:25Giselle.
00:57:27What are you doing here?
00:57:28I guess this is a bad time.
00:57:31Wait.
00:57:33I could use somebody to talk to.
00:57:39Thanks, Giselle.
00:57:41I don't think alcohol can solve this problem, though.
00:57:44Couldn't hurt.
00:57:55Here.
00:57:57I don't know.
00:58:00So...
00:58:02What happened with Lisa?
00:58:04She was using me for her next romance novel.
00:58:10I found her journal.
00:58:12I should have known it was too good to be true.
00:58:16She's the woman you told me about?
00:58:19I'm so sorry.
00:58:21No, Lisa's always been like this.
00:58:24She's a succubus.
00:58:27Just using men for her perverted novels.
00:58:39Now, I may not know what to say to make you feel better, but I do know something that might
00:58:47distract you.
00:59:10I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, the solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled with.
00:59:19This is certainly a beautiful country.
00:59:24In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the
00:59:35stir of society.
01:00:01Are you going to mope around in your PJs forever?
01:00:05I'm a writer, Mom.
01:00:06Um, PJs are my uniform.
01:00:10When are you going to tell me what happened?
01:00:13How about getting out of the house?
01:00:15I thought we got Teresa so you didn't have to be around so much.
01:00:19Your Tinder matches are just waiting for a time and place.
01:00:23I don't want a Tinder date, Mom.
01:00:25Just leave me alone, please.
01:00:27See what I'm dealing with, Teresa.
01:00:29Goes to L.A. for two weeks, comes back a drama queen.
01:00:37M.K. Roth's Thorn Tree tops Time's bestseller list.
01:00:41Congratulations, Max.
01:00:46Miss Von Klimt?
01:00:52Looks like she finally got him.
01:01:03Another week topping the bestseller list.
01:01:06We're breaking records, Max.
01:01:09I'm just glad that people like it.
01:01:11Like it?
01:01:12They love it!
01:01:14You might win the National Book Award.
01:01:21You've been drinking a lot lately.
01:01:24Everything okay?
01:01:27Well, I know something that will cheer you up.
01:01:31I went to the doctor today.
01:01:34Guess what?
01:01:36What?
01:01:37I'm pregnant.
01:01:41You're pregnant?
01:01:42Mm-hmm.
01:01:43But how?
01:01:44How?
01:01:44We're using protection.
01:01:46Accidents happen, right?
01:01:48You are going to be such a great father.
01:01:51I can't wait to be Mrs. Roth.
01:01:56So you're keeping it?
01:01:57Why wouldn't I?
01:01:59I want this to work, Max.
01:02:02I love you.
01:02:16Well, whatever you want to do, I will support it.
01:02:20I love you.
01:02:21I love you.
01:02:22I love you.
01:02:26Shihara never loved anyone like the werewolf king.
01:02:30Their days were filled with long talks, reading, strolls around the castle, their nights with passionate lovemaking.
01:02:38Shihara had never been so happy.
01:02:43I can't write romance with a broken heart.
01:02:46This is torture.
01:02:48Not now, Mom.
01:02:51I thought a little gift might improve your mood.
01:02:55Thanks, Mom.
01:02:56You didn't have to.
01:02:57Your favorite author.
01:02:58Everyone's talking about the new book.
01:03:01It's in Oprah's book club.
01:03:03Surprised I haven't seen you reading it.
01:03:07I just didn't have the time.
01:03:09Thanks, Mom.
01:03:10I just didn't have the time.
01:03:41James.
01:03:42She felt his presence.
01:03:45Wiping her eyes as she returned his gaze.
01:03:50James had lost the game of love, but that didn't mean he never went again.
01:03:57A happy ending.
01:03:59He took my note.
01:04:03Maybe there's still hope for me.
01:04:06Millionaire author M.K. Roth to Wed, CEO of EMU Publishing.
01:04:12They're getting married?
01:04:20Yes.
01:04:21Yes.
01:04:22Yes.
01:04:23Yes.
01:04:37All this skimming around, it's got me so horny for you, man.
01:04:48By this time next week, we're gonna be rich because of that brilliant contract you made.
01:05:03Once you guys get married, the book rights transfer to you.
01:05:07The royalties alone are gonna solve your company's bankruptcy.
01:05:10Then we'll take Max to Hollywood, whether he likes it or not.
01:05:14The studios are dying for a movie version of the Thorn Tree.
01:05:18Why not a trilogy?
01:05:19Yeah.
01:05:19A TV show, crypto, video games, the possibilities are endless.
01:05:24We just have to keep our secret a little longer.
01:05:27I'll get rid of Max as soon as possible.
01:05:30Good.
01:05:31I hate sneaking around.
01:05:32Would've been easier if that bitch Lisa didn't almost fuck it up.
01:05:37Guess you get what you pay for.
01:05:38What do you mean?
01:05:40Oh, I didn't tell you?
01:05:42I've been paying her with her own money.
01:05:45I've withheld her royalties for years.
01:05:49You are so bad.
01:05:53Okay.
01:06:00What is it, honey bunch?
01:06:03Mom, I think I have to tell you about what happened in LA.
01:06:13I couldn't tell Max why I was really writing about him.
01:06:15Now he's marrying Miss Von Klimt and he probably doesn't even know that she hired me to help her seduce
01:06:20him.
01:06:20Sounds like you need to tell him.
01:06:23Miss Von Klimt said if I ever go back to LA she'll cancel my publishing contract.
01:06:27We'll lose your nerves.
01:06:29Maybe a lot more.
01:06:31Look, Miss Von Bitch was born rich.
01:06:33She doesn't know anything but running her daddy's company.
01:06:36You were born in the middle of nowhere.
01:06:38With a mom in a wheelchair.
01:06:40And somehow you still became a big author.
01:06:43You could take that Barbie any day of the week.
01:06:46But Max dumped me.
01:06:49What if he really does love Miss Von Klimt?
01:06:51You'll never know unless you talk to him.
01:06:54Brave.
01:06:55Like Shiara, the elf princess.
01:06:58You're not that nerdy girl you were in high school.
01:07:01You are a badass bitch.
01:07:04You're right.
01:07:06But can I really break up a wedding?
01:07:08Hell yes, you can.
01:07:20Hey.
01:07:21You look great pal.
01:07:24I can't believe I'm getting married again.
01:07:27Don't you think it's too soon?
01:07:29Not with the right lady.
01:07:32I'm not so sure about that.
01:07:38Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.
01:07:41What is this about?
01:07:44Max, do not tell me it was about that English smut writer.
01:07:48Hey.
01:07:49Men would kill to be witches in.
01:07:52You know that.
01:08:06Elvin Lust?
01:08:07Why are you reading this crap?
01:08:10Isn't it bad luck to see each other before the wedding day?
01:08:14Netflix called.
01:08:15They want to adapt The Thorn Tree as a dating show.
01:08:20The ultimatum meets Vanderpump Rules.
01:08:24What do you think?
01:08:28I'm not whoring out my work.
01:08:31Stop asking me about Hollywood deals.
01:08:33I'm sorry.
01:08:34I just got excited.
01:08:36We'll talk after the ceremony.
01:08:47I made it.
01:08:49Thank God for BookTok.
01:08:52Lisa?
01:08:53No, she ruined everything.
01:08:56Lisa.
01:08:56Tony, hi.
01:08:57Yeah?
01:08:58Hey, I know this sounds crazy, but I really need to talk to Max.
01:09:01Do you know where I can find him?
01:09:02He's about to get married, Lisa.
01:09:03So...
01:09:04Yeah.
01:09:05That's kind of why I'm here.
01:09:06Okay.
01:09:07He doesn't want to see you.
01:09:08He and Giselle are very happy.
01:09:09No, but he doesn't know the truth.
01:09:11Giselle hired me to help I seduce him.
01:09:13What?
01:09:14You are crazy.
01:09:15You're talking like a crazy person.
01:09:17Alright?
01:09:17Go back to the loony bin.
01:09:18Now.
01:09:18Aren't you Max's friend?
01:09:20Don't you want to hear me out?
01:09:22Nope.
01:09:23Come on.
01:09:24Let's go.
01:09:25Wait.
01:09:27You're in on this too.
01:09:29What are you two planning to do to Max?
01:09:32Stupid little bitch.
01:09:33You're gonna ruin this entire plan for me.
01:09:35What plan?
01:09:36I want you.
01:09:42What the hell's happening here, Tony?
01:09:44I'm so sorry.
01:09:45Lisa.
01:09:46Hey.
01:09:49What is happening?
01:09:50I told you to keep your man-stealing ass out of L.A.
01:09:55Ms. Von Klimt, think very clearly about what you say next.
01:10:00You know what I can do to you.
01:10:02Easy, Giselle.
01:10:05What happened between you two?
01:10:06Don't talk to her, Max.
01:10:08She is just looking to use you for more material for her books.
01:10:12Isn't that right, Lisa?
01:10:14Lisa, is that true?
01:10:16Come on, Lisa.
01:10:17Stand up for yourself.
01:10:18It's now or never.
01:10:32Giselle hired me to help her seduce you.
01:10:34What you read in my journal wasn't a book, at least not one I planned on.
01:10:37They were notes to share with Ms. Von Klimt.
01:10:42So, what happened between us was fake?
01:10:44No.
01:10:45I just wanted to be a good date doctor.
01:10:47I was as shocked as anyone when I was the one who started to fall in love with you.
01:10:51Oh, you fell in love with me.
01:10:53Of course, Max.
01:10:56And I don't know what Ms. Von Klimt has told you, but I don't think she's marrying you for the
01:10:59right reasons.
01:11:00Because Tony seems to be a part of her plan.
01:11:02She is babbling like a psycho.
01:11:06Somebody call the police.
01:11:07I mean, to ruin our wedding day.
01:11:09Max, please believe me.
01:11:13I love you.
01:11:15Don't marry her.
01:11:16LAPD, there is a raving lunatic trying to ruin my wedding.
01:11:21And you know what?
01:11:22I'm gonna bring her right over here.
01:11:23Right...
01:11:25Answer me this.
01:11:26Is that baby mine?
01:11:39It's mine!
01:11:41Giselle and I had the idea to screw you out of your book rights by adding some hidden clauses in
01:11:45the contract.
01:11:47She marries you.
01:11:49She controls everything.
01:11:50Tony, we have known each other for years.
01:11:55Why would you betray me?
01:11:58EMU Publishing was going bankrupt.
01:12:00Giselle needed money.
01:12:01She convinced me that I needed some too.
01:12:04But honestly, I didn't care about that.
01:12:08All I wanted was her.
01:12:09Oh, you sappy piece of shit!
01:12:12You fucked us!
01:12:14I love you!
01:12:15And the baby!
01:12:16Yeah?
01:12:17We hate you!
01:12:18Hey!
01:12:19It's safe to say this wedding is over.
01:12:22I'll see you two lovebirds in court.
01:12:30Can you ever forgive me for doubting you?
01:12:33I don't know what came over me.
01:12:34I was a mess after our fight.
01:12:38We can talk about it over dinner.
01:12:40I know a little spot by the beach.
01:12:46You are finished!
01:12:47Lisa, I am canceling our contract and I am keeping the Heidi Brushfire name.
01:12:53Yeah, I'll write all the next books myself!
01:12:55A monkey could write that trash!
01:13:06Get up!
01:13:08Baby!
01:13:08Baby!
01:13:09Get up!
01:13:16Don't worry about Giselle.
01:13:18I will get you a new publishing deal.
01:13:20You just have to trust me.
01:13:24Do you trust me?
01:13:34I love you, Lisa.
01:13:41Happy to present the author, formerly known as Heidi Brushfire, reading from her first novel under her real name, which
01:13:50has already topped the New York Times bestseller list.
01:13:53Ladies and gentlemen, Lisa Brown!
01:14:04I sat at my laptop in PJ's writing a sex scene between a werewolf king and an elven princess.
01:14:11When the phone rang, little did I know my life was about to change forever.
01:14:24I love the book.
01:14:26Why did you decide to publish under your own name?
01:14:28My boyfriend was very encouraging.
01:14:31Some of you might know MK Roth.
01:14:36Max started his own publishing company after some bad industry experiences.
01:14:40His next book's coming out later this year.
01:14:47So, you didn't write the new Elven Lust book?
01:14:50It totally sucks.
01:14:52The Heidi Brushfire name belongs to my old publisher.
01:14:55I heard the CEO writes the books herself now.
01:14:57Guess she must have plenty of time now that she's bankrupt.
01:15:02I have a question.
01:15:04When are you and Max getting married?
01:15:05He let you put out this sexy book all about how you met.
01:15:09How about a happy ending?
01:15:11Mom!
01:15:13Actually...
01:15:15I can answer that.
01:15:25I've never really been a public person.
01:15:29But Lisa broke me out of that shell.
01:15:32Speaking of which...
01:15:42Lisa Brown...
01:15:45Will you marry me?
01:15:48Yes!
01:16:01Thank you for making this.
01:16:02Before coming to November 10th frequency of March 10th day,
01:16:02the head nope there.
01:16:02the head and bugí–ˆongue.
01:16:03There is only a few jobs too.
