00:00:00I've often wondered over the years what might have happened if we didn't break up before college.
00:00:13Sometimes I wonder if there was a moment in time where past and present collide.
00:00:24Oh please mom, leave that box alone. Why on earth would you throw away your yearbook?
00:00:28Mom, I just packed that box. I know and look, now it's all unpacked. Why would you get rid of all
00:00:35these memories? All of this stuff is from a life long ago and besides there's no point in holding
00:00:41on to the past. I believe you are the one who taught me that. Well I never meant for you to
00:00:45get rid of all the things that made you into the woman you are today. Being a cheerleader made me
00:00:50the woman I am today. You were captain of the squad. You gave direction and orders and kicked
00:00:56a few girls off the squad and now today you're a partner in a very very profitable successful
00:01:02interior design firm. Good morning Michael. Hey good morning.
00:01:17What happened in here? Well I could say that a random windstorm came barreling through here
00:01:23and destroyed what was otherwise a very organized room or you know I could just tell you the truth.
00:01:30I boxed up our files from the last project since we have to leave tomorrow.
00:01:34Was there a memo somewhere? I knew we were headed west but we weren't scheduled to do so for another
00:01:39month. Yeah you know the rep who was supposed to go to the hotel that we're going to?
00:01:46His wife is having a baby. Oh yeah apparently uh that's a little more important than opening
00:01:51the hotel. Yeah I don't get it. Priorities. I just I don't get it. What's this? Uh that is a
00:01:59little joke from my sister that I will be taking back with me as an even bigger joke. Wait a minute
00:02:05you're taking it back to her? That's what I said. So the next city we're working in just so happens
00:02:11to be your hometown. You got it. Which box goes next? That one.
00:02:19That's Michael. That's Grace's first high school boyfriend and I'm sure you'll get to meet him at
00:02:24the reunion. Yes Philip I'm sure you would get to meet him at the reunion if we were going which
00:02:28we're not. You've got to go it's your reunion. You know she's right honey. Just because I'm
00:02:33gonna be out of town doesn't mean you shouldn't go. What are you a tag team? Come on. Besides I
00:02:39don't even understand reunions. Why do I want to talk to people that I knew when I was a kid?
00:02:44What do you say to somebody that you thought you couldn't live without? Who you obviously
00:02:47did 20 years later. Is this about Michael Foster? No. Why would this be about Michael? Because he's
00:02:53the only one you couldn't live without. That is because I'm using him as an example mom. Besides
00:02:57the Heiford Hotel rep is in town and I am so far behind on that job. I don't have time to take the
00:03:02entire night off for a silly reunion. Case closed. I don't think it's silly. Is there a reunion coming
00:03:09up? I don't know. I haven't kept in touch with anybody. The only people I talk to are my sister
00:03:15and her husband. You want me to call some people? No yeah no. You know what? I know how you think
00:03:19and I do not want you to start making phone calls and setting up dinners. Hold on. Was there someone
00:03:27special in high school? As hard as this may be for you to believe yes there was someone special
00:03:33in high school but it was high school. Okay.
00:03:44How does it feel to be back? Fine.
00:03:49Fine? Yeah. That's the best you can do? Yeah. It's astonishing that women aren't knocking down
00:03:56your door. You're so open, so forthcoming. Hey you know what? Remind me to fire you when we finish this job.
00:04:02All right? Okay.
00:04:16Good morning boss. Isn't it a wonderful day? Donuts. Not bad huh? Not bad depends on how you look at it.
00:04:26Say for instance all the material uh to repulsor the hotel furniture was stuck on a broken down
00:04:33truck in the middle of nowhere. Morning Rachel. Hi. This would be the same material you were supposed
00:04:38to show the Heiford hotel rep on your scheduled walkthrough? You mean the same material that
00:04:42doesn't exist anywhere else because we bought everything that they have in stock? Yeah that too.
00:04:48Uh and the nice hotel rep the one that you said you know you really clicked with well uh he had
00:04:53an emergency and they had to replace him with someone else. Someone who sort of wants the
00:04:57remodel done in two weeks less than you had scheduled. Would you consider that bad? Okay.
00:05:07First things first. Let's find out who this new rep's assistant is. Make nice with him. See if we
00:05:12can push the meeting back as far as possible. I am going to start getting on the phone and see if I
00:05:17can find a trucking company who'll send a truck out to to the middle of nowhere. Right to there.
00:05:23Oh and is now about time to talk about the high school reunion? Right. Got it. Another time.
00:05:45Okay so you know what to do first right? Go to the design firm and solidify the schedule.
00:05:49If you have any questions whatsoever would you please call me? Yes. We all set up a hotel? Yeah I
00:05:55got it. Good. For you? Yeah me. One scratch on this thing and I will fire you so fast your head will
00:06:01spin. You need me I'll be here at my sister's. Have a good time. I will try. How was your flight?
00:06:09Oh you know the usual. No leg room. Lousy food. Bad movie. Really bad. I'm so glad you're here.
00:06:15It's so good to see you both of you. Hey I'm uncle Michael and I can't wait to see you.
00:06:22Come in sit down. All right. Oh it is so good to have you home. It is great to be here I must say.
00:06:31Now that Michael's here can I sit on the couch without being yelled at for defluffing the pillows?
00:06:36She's got you trained well my friend. Oh yeah. I can see. You two are ganging up on me already.
00:06:43Five minutes in the house. Not even. You haven't seen anything yet.
00:06:48I what so you're telling me that you're not gonna have another truck available for three weeks?
00:06:57That kind of defeats the purpose of calling yourself a trucking company doesn't it?
00:07:01No. No thank you. Okay um you know what I'm gonna go to the hotel and see what I can do before the walkthrough.
00:07:16What did you find out? The assistant is on his way over now. Took over the new reps revised schedule.
00:07:21Um don't worry you go. I got it under control. Really? Yeah. Yeah okay thanks.
00:07:27Okay bye.
00:07:36Um Grace one sec.
00:07:40Grace. Thank you. I'm so sorry. No it's okay. I um see you. It's my fault. I was just trying to catch my boss.
00:07:49Yeah I imagine. Wait a minute. You wouldn't happen to be Lindsay? Grace Holland's assistant?
00:07:57Yeah. I'm James. James from the Heifert Hotel. We've been talking. Right. I'm Lindsay which you
00:08:03already know and um good to know I know. Here. Thank you.
00:08:11You certainly know how to make a good first impression.
00:08:13I usually do. I probably owe you a coffee at least for the mess I caused. No don't worry about it.
00:08:23You know what? You're right. You um you should buy me a coffee to make up for the mess you created.
00:08:30After you. So what do you think of the place? Just like you remember when we were kids?
00:08:37Pretty much yeah. Yeah you know and thankfully everything comes back into style. I don't know when but you know it'll come back.
00:08:46I think that you're a little jealous that mom and dad gave me the house when they moved to Florida.
00:08:52Gosh it must hurt that they love me more than you. Look we got your old room ready for you. Madonna
00:08:58posters still on the floor. That's right. You love Madonna. Your boombox and cassettes are in the laundry room.
00:09:03I did not love Madonna. You love Madonna. I did not. I mean not like you loved Grace Anderson but. Well.
00:09:09I bet she's gonna be at the reunion. It's so great that you're gonna be here for that isn't it?
00:09:14Yeah it's it's great but probably won't go.
00:09:20Come on. I got a lot of work to do.
00:09:25Hey good news. I just got off the phone with the trucking company
00:09:29and he said the materials should be at the hotel by tomorrow. Just in time for your walk
00:09:33through with the hotel rep. Thank you God. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:09:38These contracts need to be looked at before you leave tonight and don't forget about your nail
00:09:42appointment later. Nail appointment before you go to your high school reunion? That's tonight? Are
00:09:49you sure? Yep and I promised your mom I wouldn't let you back out of it. Right. And um don't worry
00:09:56about the hybrid hotel rep. I got it covered. I kind of um bumped into the new rep's assistant
00:10:02and he sort of asked me out to dinner tonight. I was thinking I'd go. I mean but just to reassure
00:10:08him that everything you know was on schedule. You know assistant to assistant. Right and would this
00:10:14new rep's assistant maybe be on the cute side? One can maybe make that assumption. Hypothetically.
00:10:22Great. Oh and I confirmed your meeting with the rep for the weekend.
00:10:26That is perfect Lindsay. Thank you. Now go have dinner with the enemy.
00:10:32Just kidding. Okay you have fun at your reunion.
00:10:36Ah yes fun. Not exactly the first word I would use to describe that.
00:10:42I'm home. Hey.
00:10:47Ta-da. I had your suit pressed for tonight. You had my suit pressed for tonight. Michael your
00:10:54high school reunion is something you cannot miss. Besides you have got to start getting out there
00:11:03and having some fun. What? You know what? You're right. You're absolutely right.
00:11:16Oh but you know what? There's just one small thing. I uh I didn't get a ticket. So maybe next
00:11:22reunion. It'll be nice to see all those people I haven't seen in years. Well don't worry big brother
00:11:27because I bought you one.
00:11:53Hey Phillip. Hey.
00:11:58So how have you been? Good. Good.
00:12:13Oh mom's are back in the garden. Hey beautiful. Oh thank you for the compliment.
00:12:20The flowers. It's the least I could do since I won't be going with you to your reunion tonight.
00:12:27Oh trust me. I wish I had to go out of town so I didn't have to go to this thing tonight.
00:12:32I just wanted to stop and say bye. I really have to get to the airport but
00:12:36you go and have fun. Okay. Hey do me a favor. Will you call me when your flight lands? Will do.
00:12:57All right Michael. 30 minutes. Home. Sweats. Now move it.
00:13:28Okay.
00:13:3330 minutes and then it's home. Pajamas and popcorn.
00:13:57Wonderful catching up with you. How exciting is this? You look great by the way. Thank you. You
00:14:04too. Hey we should have lunch next week. Hey you know what? Seriously we should get a pickup game
00:14:09going man. No. You say old times man. I haven't played in years. Maybe. Oh check it out. There
00:14:17goes your other half. Look Grace is talking to Susie Hurley. You know I used to copy homework
00:14:24off her sophomore year. She's kind of hot now huh?
00:14:40Susie Hurley. How you doing?
00:14:44How you doing? Great. So uh you got any homework I can copy? That depends on the assignment. Well
00:14:50it's uh not geometry. Hi. Hi. How you doing? Look at that. After all these years still in sync.
00:15:02What a great couple you guys were. Prom king and queen remember? Oh of course. Grace Anderson
00:15:09and Michael Foster. Michael and Grace. Gracie and Mikey. Yeah we got it Jonesy. We got it.
00:15:18You guys work. Hey what do you say you and me take our reunion on the dance floor? I thought
00:15:26you'd never ask. So did you come here tonight with anyone? No uh now I I'm solo tonight.
00:15:47You? Honestly I had a plan. I was gonna come by say hi leave in 30 minutes. Is that horrible?
00:15:56No that was my plan exactly. Hey uh do you want to go and find a quiet place to talk?
00:16:07What's new in the last uh 20 years or so? Well I have a son. His name is Scott and I know all
00:16:14these other mothers say the same thing but my son is perfect. I'm sure he is. Perfect and he's a
00:16:19really good basketball player too. He'd give you a run for your money back in the day. Oh I'd watch
00:16:23that. I could still bring it for an old guy. Husband? Yes. I mean you know past tense. I did
00:16:33have a husband but he left when Scott was very young. And what about you? Wife? Kids? Uh no uh
00:16:42no kids. Uh wife for a short period of time. Yeah. Didn't end well. I uh traveled a lot with
00:16:49my job which made it difficult. So um I guess you're doing more than roller skating and
00:16:58cheerleading these days. Yeah well as proficient as I was in those two things uh I took a completely
00:17:04different career path. Actually I um I own my own interior design company. Really? Oh that's too bad
00:17:11because the company that I work for we usually hire locally and I would have hired you for me.
00:17:16Oh what do you do? I work for the Heiford Hotel Group. Oh no. Does Holland Young Interior Designs
00:17:24mean anything to you? No. Yeah? You're the firm that's doing the designs on my hotel. Yes.
00:17:33My assistant spoke with a Ms. Holland. Yeah well that's my married name. I never went back to my
00:17:38maiden name. You know we have a meeting tomorrow. Yes I do that's why I almost didn't come tonight.
00:17:45That's unbelievable. Unbelievable. We broke up 20 years ago to follow our dreams and do the
00:17:52things that we love. And 20 years later we're pursuing our dreams and doing what we love and
00:17:56it brought us back together.
00:18:01I mean not together together. No I I know what you mean.
00:18:08Um man I I'm so happy that my job brought me back home. Me too.
00:18:18And I swear I never ever went to that restaurant ever again. I never will either. I was so sick.
00:18:24Oh wait hold on I'm sorry. Oh um hello? Hey Phillip. No no no I'm just leaving right now.
00:18:35Oh good good I'm glad you got in okay. Um yeah I ended up having a really good time.
00:18:42Um yeah I ended up having a really good time. Uh-huh okay I'll I'll um I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:18:51Bye. Uh that was Phillip my boyfriend. He's um out of town on business.
00:19:00Um.
00:19:01Bye. Bye. Bye.
00:19:09Oh um I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:30Hello. Hey there. How'd it go?
00:19:46It was uh it was fun. It was fun. I saw big Jonesy. He says to say hello.
00:19:55Saw a few other guys from the team. It was fun.
00:20:01How'd it go? It was nice and fun. And well I spent most of the night talking to an old friend
00:20:10and it was so much fun catching up with him. It was just it was fun. Fun? It was yes fun.
00:20:20So this old friend was he like an old boyfriend kind of friend?
00:20:24Uh yeah something like that. So you gonna see him again? As a matter of fact I'm going to see
00:20:29him tomorrow. Wait you're going on a date? No I have a boyfriend. Remember his name is Phillip.
00:20:37This is not a date. You gonna see her again? Tomorrow actually. No no no no don't get all
00:20:44excited. It's just for work. She's the Holland of the Holland Young Company that's helping redesign
00:20:50the Hyper Hotel. Well so what? So you guys have to work together. You still take her out can't you?
00:20:56Mm-hmm she's seen someone. So tomorrow I will be showing him my swatches and my paint chips.
00:21:03Well just remember you told me a few years ago. Don't show all your paint chips and swatches on
00:21:08the first date. It is not a date.
00:21:11What are you guys doing? Where? I've known you for far too long to try to look on me.
00:21:27What are you up to now? Don't you have something to go do or fix?
00:21:42Getting him to say I do. I hope it's for you because the alternative is it's for Grace
00:21:49and you promised to stay out of her love life. I know what I said but sometimes the mother has
00:21:54to break her promises to become the best mom she can be. Now Phillip and Grace have been dating for
00:21:59a long time now and and I just think it's time for them to take it up a notch that's all.
00:22:05Well say a notch that has them walking down the aisle.
00:22:11Good morning, good morning, good morning brother-in-law and my favorite favorite sister.
00:22:18Considering I'm your only sister and Gabe's your only brother-in-law what did you break?
00:22:23Be careful bro answer carefully. I've learned that with pregnancy comes moments and sometimes
00:22:28they can be scary. No moments I promise. It's just the last time Michael called me his favorite
00:22:35sister. I was watching him drive our father's car through the garage door. Oh nice move right?
00:22:41Dad got a new car. Yeah okay if you didn't break anything then can I assume that you're just
00:22:47excited about going to work on the weekend? Grace this this breakfast this is crazy does
00:22:52she cook like this every weekend? Does that have anything to do with the reunion? Oh yeah how was
00:22:57that? It was fantastic I spent most of the evening with Grace Anderson Grace Holland now
00:23:03ex-girlfriend Grace. Yes guess who happens to be doing the renovation on the hotel?
00:23:08Grace's seriously? Of course now she's got a boyfriend. Who cares if she has a boyfriend
00:23:12true love wins every time. I completely agree. You do realize that I'm still sitting right here

00:28:49kind of like you'd see in a Swiss you don't like it? No I don't. I love it. I love everything.
00:28:58The swatches the the paint choices everything is fantastic. It's perfect.
00:29:03Well thank you for your vote of confidence. You were our class president after all that
00:29:10has to count for something. Oh getting us two free days our senior year hardly compares to this.
00:29:16Still I expected no less than brilliance from you. Oh I am just so pleased that you're happy
00:29:22with everything. Pleased? I am beyond pleased. Your designs are amazing. They're really beautiful
00:29:29Grace. Well I just wanted to say. I'm sorry you go. Okay. Okay. All right I was going to say I know
00:29:38that we've had some delays but I'm confident we're going to finish on time and you're going
00:29:41to be able to open up in a month when you want to. That's too bad. It is? Yeah. I was secretly
00:29:50hoping that I could find a valid reason to stay in town a little longer than I originally planned.
00:29:56I um I don't know what to say. Oh no I I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out the way it did
00:30:04and I really hope I haven't offended you. I I was just thinking dinner that's all. I just I'm in a
00:30:09relationship and I you know I I just want to make sure that we're being appropriate. Of course of
00:30:17course you could even bring your boyfriend. I just thought it'd be nice for us to get to know each
00:30:22other as friends. I thought you were asking me on a new date. I'm sorry. Okay you know what I would
00:30:27love to go out to dinner with you and I would love to bring Philip. I want him to meet you.
00:30:33Well I look forward to that and I look forward to meeting Philip. Great okay I'm gonna I'm gonna
00:30:41take one last look around and grab my stuff and go. Nice shot. My mother I'm sure you have to say
00:30:58that. So how'd the date go? The meeting went very well thank you very much. Michael seemed to really
00:31:07like all of my ideas. So he liked the swatches? Yes he liked the swatches. Hopefully he'll be just
00:31:16as happy when everything's completed. I wonder what's gonna happen when you start having late
00:31:19night work dinners. I wonder if Philip's gonna have something to say about that. Okay that is
00:31:25enough out of you. So Philip will be coming over tonight and you can always watch a movie with us
00:31:41and that would be him. Will you please let him in nicely? You know I think I left a pass on that
00:31:46movie invitation. Thanks for the offer though. I I have a lot of homework to do.
00:32:05Hey honey. Hey. How are you? I'm good. You must be exhausted. No it's not too bad. You know the flights
00:32:12took longer than the actual meeting. Yeah? Oh that's good. Maybe you'd like to go to church
00:32:17with me tomorrow. Oh I don't know about that. You know what they say sometimes the jet lag doesn't
00:32:23kick in till the next day. Very funny. Actually Michael my friend who I ran into at the reunion
00:32:31said he might be there tomorrow and I'd really like for you to meet him. If you really want me
00:32:37to go I'll go. Have I told you lately how wonderful you are? Good. Before you do the Dandino account
00:32:46is a mess. Clients are flying in tomorrow and will probably take up most of my week.
00:32:52Am I still great? If you go with me tomorrow then yes. Done.
00:32:58I want you to hear this. God doesn't forget the dreams that you have buried deep inside your
00:33:11hearts. Take a leap of faith. Walk into the future and see what God has in store for you.
00:33:17Because if you believe you'll find that that nothing is impossible for you and everything is
00:33:23possible. Amen. I want to see you next Sunday. Yeah okay. Hey Michael. Michael. Phil I uh I want you to
00:33:34meet Michael. He's my friend from high school. Hey good to meet you. Good to meet you. Heard a rumor
00:33:39about you and Grace. Really? The reunion. He hasn't stopped talking about how much fun you do.
00:33:47Oh it was uh it was a lot of fun. It was great to catch up with her and everyone else.
00:33:53Yeah well I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there for the fun but
00:33:57thanks for keeping Grace company. Sure. Um Philip had to fly out for a meeting. Philip owns his own
00:34:04accounting firm so he's got clients calling him day and night and he always manages to save the
00:34:08day. Grace I'm sure Michael doesn't want to hear about the tax problems of the rich and sometimes
00:34:13ignorant. Listen Michael it was really good to meet you. Um I promised your mom I would help
00:34:20organize the donations for the bazaar so. Okay all right I'll catch up with you.
00:34:29Um he seems like a really nice guy. He is. He is. I'm sure my mom and dad would like to say hi.
00:34:38I don't think I recall your mother loving anything I ever did. What? She likes you. She does. She
00:34:45know what she didn't like? How serious we were getting. That's what she didn't like? Yeah.
00:34:52Were we really that serious? Well considering that I had our wedding perfectly planned out in this
00:34:58very church I guess that gave my mother reason to worry. It's funny the things that you imagine
00:35:05when you're a kid. Like at the end of every pew was a perfectly tied white bow and they hung really
00:35:14low barely grazing the ground and then I had lavender rose petals scattered underneath my feet
00:35:21and father Milliken gave a beautiful ceremony and then afterwards we had a reception out on the lawn.
00:35:29Wow. I know it's silly isn't it? No not at all it sounds beautiful. I don't know.
00:35:36Uh well I guess every young girl dreams of her fairy tale wedding. So did you get your fairy tale
00:35:44wedding? Me? No no no no not at all. No I got a courthouse and a justice of the peace. Not exactly
00:35:53the wedding of my dreams but I did get Scott and I guess he made it all worth it.
00:36:07So do you eat? Yes at least three times a day. Oh good because I would really like to have dinner
00:36:16with you and Phillip if he's free. Well Phillip has a big client in town um so I know he's busy
00:36:24all week but um I'm free. Oh too bad for Phillip. Yay for me. It'll be fun we can catch up. That
00:36:37would be awesome.
00:36:54Spoke with Lindsay today and everything seems to be shaping up well on schedule
00:36:57and even a little under budget. Sure.
00:36:59Sure. Pack of wildebeest just charged through the lobby and entered your office to set up the new
00:37:08home. Then they ordered kung pao chicken, brown rice. That's really good work James. Are you okay?
00:37:15All these restaurants look the same. I'm trying to find a really nice place to take Grace.
00:37:20Oh so you're taking her to a fancy restaurant huh? Yes unless of course you have another
00:37:27suggestion Romeo. I don't know I guess it's a fine idea. I just thought that for your first
00:37:34adult date with Grace you'd want it to be something different something unexpected. Okay for starters
00:37:39it's not a date. I even invited her boyfriend but he cannot attend so it is not a date. Not a date?
00:37:44No it is two people going to dinner without her boyfriend it is not a date. So since it's just
00:37:50two of you how about you take her back in time? What? I already did the reunion. What I mean is
00:37:58do something thoughtful you know original.
00:38:04Wow don't you look exceptionally pretty. Thank you. I decided to take a late lunch break to get
00:38:11ready for my date. Hope that's okay. Of course it is. So is this date with assistant James
00:38:15making one for the team? Keep an eye on the enemy. I think you should even consider giving me a raise
00:38:21for working overtime. Nice try. It's just it's too bad that they have to leave once the hotel's
00:38:27remodeled you know. Yeah it is. You know it is kind of weird don't you think? I mean after all this time
00:38:37you're working with your high school boyfriend again they say everything happens for a reason.
00:38:41Well they who usually say that are your age not mine. At my age the reason is simple
00:38:49they needed remodeling and we're a great design firm. The fact that Michael and I are
00:38:55old boyfriend and girlfriend it's just a coincidence. Maybe, maybe not.
00:39:02You uh need anything else before I take off? I am good you go have a blast.
00:39:11Okay hold on to me. I got you don't worry. Give me a hint just one little hint. No stop asking we're
00:39:17almost there. I'm trying to figure it out by where I'm walking I can't. Well you won't believe me.
00:39:22Come on. Okay we're almost there just trust me just trust me just don't drop me just a little bit.
00:39:28Okay slowing down. Yes. Stopping. Stop. Stopping. Okay. Turning. I'm on I'm on an incline. Yeah okay.
00:39:35Okay. All right you ready? I'm so excited. You ready? What?
00:39:42Oh this is where we had our first date. Oh Michael look at what you did. Oh this is great.
00:39:51Look at this Michael. Oh we have peanut butter and jelly, potato chips,
00:39:58chocolate candy bar. I I don't even know how did you remember all of this? Remember? I never forgot.
00:40:05This is really great. It's almost exactly the same but I figured since we're a little
00:40:10older I thought a little vino would be nice. Good call. We need to make a toast. Yes.
00:40:18To high school reunions. To old times. And to new ones.
00:40:28Isn't it funny that our assistants are what are the cool kids saying? Hooking up? They are.
00:40:35Well it's young love. The only thing I remember about young love are sweaty palms and not being
00:40:42able to form words. No not you. You were always so confident. It was me. I had the
00:40:48bats in my stomach. Bats? Yes bats. The way I felt about you. Butterflies didn't compare.
00:40:58That's cute. Bats. I was just about to say look how far we've come and sweaty palms.
00:41:06I have sweaty palms.
00:41:14Grace Holland please leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as possible.
00:41:18It's your mother again. You were going to call me when you got home. Now it's late and it's it's
00:41:24about 11 30. 11. Call me in the morning. What on earth are you doing speaking up on me like that?
00:41:33What on earth are you doing checking in on our 37 year old daughter?
00:41:37In case you haven't noticed that she's not in high school anymore.
00:41:41Your days of her checking in stopped 20 years ago. I was simply trying to find out when Philip
00:41:46is free so I could uh I could plan on a family dinner that's all. Does this family dinner have
00:41:53anything to do with your getting them to say I do book of hooey? Mary Anderson I'm warning you
00:42:01you're gonna get yourself in trouble. She's out with Michael Foster and it's late and that's it.
00:42:08He came home one day and said I'm done being a husband and a father and he left that night.
00:42:16Oh god that was over 15 years ago. I never thought I was gonna meet anyone after that. I kind of
00:42:24you know gave up on relationships and then um a couple years ago my company hired Philip to
00:42:33do our taxes. It was comfortable and easy right from the start. I guess it still is so. So that
00:42:44that is my story. What about you? Well uh it's it pretty much the same. I was married for about a
00:42:50year and it didn't end well so that's why I'm hesitant to try it again. Plus all the traveling
00:42:58I do for my job it's really easy not to think about a serious relationship. Seeing you though
00:43:04it's made me think about it. I mean seeing you and Philip together and now. Right okay.
00:43:12So uh are there wedding bells in your future? Hey uh am I interrupting? No no you're not
00:43:21interrupting. Come here sit down. I want you to meet Michael. Michael this is my son Scott. Hey
00:43:25hey uh nice to finally meet you. I've been hearing a lot about you. Uh all good I hope. Yeah so my mom
00:43:33tells me you're a pretty good basketball player. Pretty good? Oh it's been a long time I'm only
00:43:39going from memory. Your memory is selective and not in my favor. You could always come over and
00:43:45play some one-on-one sometime. Yeah yeah that'd be great. I uh I think I still have some moves
00:43:50I won a few basketball games back in the day. Why don't I come by in a few days and uh we can play
00:43:54some ball. Sounds cool. I get off practice around five so after you can come hang out for a bit.
00:43:59Sounds like a plan to me. Oh I'm sorry is that okay? Yes that is okay with me. Cool well it was
00:44:07nice meeting you. And you. What have I gotten myself into? How good of a ball player is this
00:44:20kid? Oh there are some things that are better left unsaid. Oh dear.
00:44:37Seriously Lindsay so not gonna impress Grace with that choice? I kind of like it myself.
00:44:46Okay either you have no design talent or you didn't take a close look at my hideous choice.
00:44:51Or I happen to like the designer's assistant so much that no matter what idea she gives me
00:44:56I think it's the greatest one. Actually I think I like that choice the best. Well I'm glad
00:45:04because it's the truth.
00:45:11What? Oh man. Nah it's funny it's Michael and I weren't supposed to work at this hotel
00:45:19and do this job but I can't even imagine if we didn't now. I was just thinking about that.
00:45:25Fate works in mysterious ways. I mean you know fate's certainly working for Michael and
00:45:32Grace. Right I've worked for Michael for a long time I've never seen him like this.
00:45:37Same with Grace. I mean she's like a different person since Michael's been back.
00:45:40Michael acts like a kid. He gets so excited when he knows that Grace is coming to the hotel.
00:45:45Grace too. It's like she smiles all the time now.
00:45:49It's just really great to see someone that happy you know. Yeah I do.
00:46:02You look uh really good on Scott's bike. Thanks it's a little small but uh you know
00:46:09it'll do the trick. Well he's a smaller boy than you. It is so nice to be back in this park.
00:46:15Always love this park.
00:46:20Are you nervous? No why? Come on a little bit nervous? I'm not nervous. Why? You seem nervous.
00:46:30How do I seem nervous? All right you're flicking your hair. You used to do that 20 years ago when
00:46:36you would get nervous. I am not nervous. It's just weird you know hanging out with you after
00:46:43all these years. Good weird I hope. Yes. You know what this feels like? What? This feels like
00:46:54the last night I saw you before you went off to school. Oh that night. I did not want that night
00:47:00to end. We just sat here in that awkward silence until you broke up with me. I didn't want to hold
00:47:07you back. You broke my heart that night. You broke my heart the day you left.
00:47:16I just didn't want to hold you back from what you wanted to do.
00:47:21You're the love of my life. You're the love of my life.
00:47:31Oh my god.
00:47:32I'm sorry. Yeah. I hope I didn't make you feel. No no no no no you didn't.
00:47:42We just have really bad timing that's all. Really bad.
00:47:48Yeah.
00:47:51You didn't. I said I almost kissed her. She's got this Philip guy that she seems
00:47:57happy with and we're working on this project together and yeah you know what?
00:48:04She'll just move on and forget about this non-moment moment we had right?
00:48:12I'm sure she will. Yeah forget it. Tell me you did not. Of course I didn't mom. Nothing happened.
00:48:21I said almost as in we could have kissed but we didn't. Well you're spending too much time
00:48:26with him anyway. It's not right. I mean if you weren't dilly-dallying around with Michael
00:48:31we'd be sitting here talking about what movie you saw last night with Philip.
00:48:35I have to spend time with Michael mom. I'm remodeling the hotel. You know that. And you
00:48:41know I'm not talking about your job. I'm talking about your dates. Oh what Michael and I are doing
00:48:48are not date dates. They're not. They're you know what? It's not a date. Hey grandma. Good morning.
00:48:55Hi honey. Hey mom. Hey. Uh what's for dinner tonight? Why do you have a sudden culinary
00:49:03interest I should know about? No my interest lies in playing basketball with Michael.
00:49:10Well specifically beating him. I was just curious about what was for dinner. Oh it's tonight right?
00:49:16Okay um I haven't thought about dinner. Well can I put in a little request? Only if you plan on
00:49:23cooking it with me. Well in that case I'm sure whatever you make will be just perfect. Bye grandma.
00:49:30Bye honey. Mom stop it. It is just dinner and it's for Scott. It has absolutely nothing to do with me.
00:49:41Uh-huh. Well as your mother I'm just asking you to think about what I said that's all. Okay? Okay.
00:49:56Everything looks great. Everybody keep up the good work. Oh hey I'm just calling you. Yeah oh
00:50:03why is everything? Oh you're not trying to get out of the game tonight huh? Actually yes I am
00:50:07very much so but that is not why I'm calling. Oh well I'm glad because Scott is really excited.
00:50:12Well that makes the two of us so much better. Oh okay oops. So you said you were calling is
00:50:16everything okay? Yeah everything's great actually. Everything's coming along really nicely.
00:50:21Um I just wanted to talk to you about if I made you feel uncomfortable or if I crossed a line.
00:50:27Oh Michael no no no everything's fine. I mean we're just two old friends getting reacquainted.
00:50:32I mean nothing happened. Okay yeah yeah you're right we're just two old friends. Good well I'll
00:50:39see you later tonight. Yes you will. You nervous? Oh terribly I'm shaking in my boots. Look it.
00:50:47Oh I'm dead.
00:51:03Hey. Looking good. Thanks. Heard a rumor you were gonna forfeit. Thinking about it.
00:51:12And? I'm still thinking about it. You know if it gets to be too much you can always stop.
00:51:20You know it's funny I was just about to say that to you. Oh trash talking already.
00:51:26Are you gonna play dress like that?
00:51:30I appreciate your concern for me but a real basketball player can play in anything.
00:51:35Okay how about a friendly game?
00:51:39I'm up for it if you are. Okay how about first to 21?
00:51:44Unless you'd rather me make it easy on you and stop at 10.
00:51:47Huh.
00:51:53Youth before talent.
00:51:55That would be three nothing. Lucky shot.
00:52:12Oh you two look pretty good out there. Oh you know I never lost it you know it's all theirs.
00:52:18Yeah. So dinner is almost ready. Oh no really? We're just about to start another game.
00:52:27Looks like you're off the hook at least until after dinner. So who won? Mom to be fair Michael
00:52:33did win a few games or maybe one. Okay you know what if I had the proper clothes and my basketball
00:52:41shoes we'd be having an entirely different conversation right now. Whatever happened to
00:52:46a real basketball player can play in anything. Okay can you ground this kid for like a month?
00:52:50Absolutely not. We're on for a rematch. Anytime.
00:52:56Bring it.
00:53:01So tell me did I look as good as I did in high school?
00:53:06You really want me to tell you the truth? No no I don't. Come on old man let me get you dinner.
00:53:13It took the city a week to scrub that off the water tower. It wasn't?
00:53:19I bet you didn't know your mom was such a rebel huh? Well you know it's those things that you do
00:53:24for love. Uh would you like some help? No I've got it thank you. Good because I don't know if
00:53:31I could stand up even if you did need help. So young man what do you want to do with your life?
00:53:40Majoring in what? I have no idea I'm still trying to figure that out right now. Well when I was your
00:53:44age I was exactly the same. So what happens after the Heifert opens? What do you do then? I usually
00:53:50just go wherever the next hotel that needs to be renovated is. Wow so what's next? I don't know.
00:53:57There's been mention of a few places but nothing confirmed. Is that hard to get settled somewhere
00:54:03and then have to just up and leave? Up until now no but I have to admit that it's been
00:54:10great being back home.
00:54:21Oh oh thank you for spending so much time with Scott. I know he had a blast hanging out with
00:54:26you. Well I'm glad I don't think I'll be able to walk tomorrow but I think it was worth it.
00:54:34Well I'm glad you came too. Would it be out of line if I said that spending all this time with
00:54:41you has been absolutely wonderful? No I feel the same way. You know it's funny after all these
00:54:49years how some things never change like what that smile of yours still does to me.
00:54:57I don't think I've ever wanted a circumstance to be different more than I do right now Grace.
00:55:02I know me too. Oh but they aren't. I mean my relationship with Philip may not be fairytale
00:55:11perfect but I know he's not going anywhere. He's um he's stable.
00:55:25Hey I get it.
00:55:32Oh the timing still stinks even after all these years.
00:55:48It appears so. Michael
00:55:56while you're still here
00:55:58maybe we maybe we shouldn't see each other as much.
00:56:07Goodbye Grace.
00:56:13Goodbye Michael.
00:56:27So
00:56:44God you should have seen Michael mom. It was just crazy watching him trying to keep up with me.
00:56:49Crazy being a good thing nowadays? Yes it's just a lot of fun hanging out with him you know.
00:56:57What's the deal with you guys anyway? There's no deal. We're just two old friends from high
00:57:02school. There's nothing more. If you say so. He's just really cool and look I don't think I've ever
00:57:12seen you this happy before and you don't look at Philip the way you look at Michael mom.
00:57:17Oh well Scott people people love each other in different ways.
00:57:23Uh my relationship with Philip is based on compatibility and friendship and respect.
00:57:32Philip is a very smart nice man and we we genuinely like each other.
00:57:40You'll realize as you get older Scott that those are very important points in a relationship.
00:57:45Look you've always told me that I'll know when it's love because I won't be able to stop smiling
00:57:50and you haven't stopped smiling since your reunion.
00:57:56I'm just saying for the record mom I mean when you just talked about Philip right now
00:58:00you didn't mention anything about being in love. Just something to think about. Good night.
00:58:07Don't they have a wallpaper that subliminally says future pro basketball player? I'm gonna
00:58:13pretend you didn't say that. Future Nobel Prize winner? I'd stick with the pro ballplayer if I
00:58:19were you. Michael if you can't say anything serious then will you just go away so the game
00:58:23can concentrate. Okay then I'll say something serious. I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.
00:58:31Concentrate. Okay then I'll say something serious. I think I'm falling in love with Grace.
00:58:39Really? And I don't think I ever stopped loving her.
00:58:48I'd go with that one. Wait a minute wait what did Grace say when you told her?
00:58:56Nothing because I didn't. What are you gonna do?
00:59:07Nothing nothing I can't do anything. She's with someone happily with someone Rach and I
00:59:15don't want to be the one who ruins it. Look we both decided that we will not see each other
00:59:21outside of work. It's just it's confusing for both of us. Michael if you're really in love with
00:59:31her you gotta tell her. What if she's thinking the exact same thing you are? You owe it to yourself
00:59:38and her to be honest. Right baby? Everything she just said man.
00:59:44No no guys look I appreciate your concern but I'll be fine. I'll be fine. Hey I'll I'll leave
00:59:56and Grace will forget all about me and whatever we had when we were younger. It'll be fine.
01:00:05She's with someone else. She's content. She's moving on with her life.
01:00:09She did it before right?
01:00:16Take it easy over there. I wholeheartedly agree sir. Yes that hotel has been in need of a renovation
01:00:22for a very long time. That was great. The designer's uh right here. She's a local hire.
01:00:31She was amazing. Okay great. Thank you very much.
01:00:35You two. Headquarters? Yep. It seems like we're gonna have to tie up loose ends. They've
01:00:41chosen their next hotel. Which one? Unfortunately the one I was hoping it wasn't going to be.
01:00:48The one that's 3,000 miles away from here.
01:00:52I hope I'm not out of line by saying this. It's just that I've noticed that you and Grace have
01:00:57gotten really close and all. And your family too.
01:01:00It's just wondering how you can walk away from everything that's home to you.
01:01:06I don't know James. I really I don't know. It's how much time we have. Yeah about a week.
01:01:14I guess I better start making some calls. Get things ready to go. Yeah thanks.
01:01:20Michael can I ask you something?
01:01:22Yeah sure. What if I don't want to leave? I mean no disrespect to you. You know how much I like
01:01:30working with you. It's just that I've been thinking about maybe seeing what kind of offer
01:01:33they can make me here. You know at this hotel. Specifically. I think I want to stay here for a
01:01:43while. This wouldn't have anything to do with Lindsay now would it? Yes it does. Well I think
01:01:59that's great. And I'll call corporate and see what I can do for you. Really? Really. Thank you.
01:02:06Whatever you can do. I appreciate that Michael. Thank you.
01:02:18Come in. Hey I just wanted to let you know I'm back. Did you have a nice lunch with James?
01:02:24I did. He's just...
01:02:26I don't know what it is. He's amazing. We get along so well. And I don't know we laugh so hard.
01:02:37We like all the same things. I've never had a boyfriend before. And not like this. Not serious.
01:02:46I just can't stop smiling when I'm around him. It seems you can't even when you're not.
01:02:50No it's silly. I'm sorry. No no it's not silly at all Lindsay. Not at all. It's um
01:02:57people spend their whole lives looking for somebody who'll make them feel the way you're
01:03:01feeling right now. When you find it it's it's um it's truly magical. Believe me.
01:03:09Okay I promised James I wouldn't say anything but um I can't help it. Michael told James that
01:03:15they're leaving in a few days to go to the new hotel which is like a couple thousand miles away.
01:03:20But guess what? James might stay. That's great.
01:03:29Grace you okay? Yeah yeah I'm fine. I just remembered something. That would be great if James could stay.
01:03:34Grace you okay? Yeah yeah I'm fine. I just remembered something. That would be
01:03:37great if James could stay. Oh yeah it would. Okay well um I'm gonna go get started on those invoices.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:56Has Grace come by the hotel yet? Uh no no not yet. But Lindsay did say she was working the office today.
01:04:01Conn already asked for you. So um she doesn't want to talk to me about anything? I guess not.
01:04:12Oh uh corporate called me about you and I told them that you are incredibly irresponsible.
01:04:18Uh juvenile. Uh you're always late and you're incredibly unorganized. I heard you gave me a
01:04:23really great recommendation. Ah well I said a few nice things in there. Just a few. They offered me
01:04:29a permanent job at this hotel and I decided to take it. Well that is great. Good for you. Thanks.
01:04:35I'm excited. Well I think you're gonna do a great job here. I hope I'm making the right decision.
01:04:41I mean am I crazy? Am I crazy? I'm taking a job in a town I just got to. Oh for a girl I barely know.
01:04:47James I'd like you to listen to me very carefully. If you think you're falling in love or you might
01:04:54have already fallen in love, it's the right decision. This doesn't happen every day. This is
01:05:02very very special and you're a very smart man for following your heart. That's good advice.
01:05:10I was wondering if by any chance you were listening to yourself give it. No no no it's uh
01:05:17a lot harder to follow your heart when you get to be my age and you're a little older. Right and now
01:05:23that you're almost no longer my boss I can easily say that was by far the the dumbest thing you've
01:05:30ever said. The dumbest? Like really dumb? The dumbest. You know what? You're dumb. Yeah no yeah.
01:05:41What do you I mean? Yeah you're dumb. That was a lucky shot.
01:05:47Lindsay can you come in here when you get a second please? Sure I'll be right in.
01:05:54Hey what you need? I need you to schedule the walkthrough at the Heifert hotel.
01:06:01Sure for when? For whenever works for you. You're gonna do this one. You mean with you? I mean for me.
01:06:08But won't Michael expect you there? I mean all things considered. All things considered I think
01:06:14you can handle this one and I've got other things I need to take care of. You can do it Lindsay.
01:06:20Sure I'll um I'll take care of it right now.
01:06:26Grace is everything. Are you okay? I'm good. Thank you Lindsay.
01:06:50Hey Michael I forgot to remind you we're at our bringing home baby class tonight. Excuse. I left
01:06:56you dinner in the fridge and maybe since I'm so very very nice and very pregnant you'll be a nice
01:07:00brother and clean up the laundry room for the church bazaar. Please please please. Love, Raj.
01:07:20I thought for sure she would have thrown you out.
01:07:33Batteries nice.
01:07:35Oh yes.
01:07:52Why?
01:08:05You know sometimes longing's like a fire. A fire with a taste to touch.
01:08:17But here I put my heart right in your hands girl. Now that I know that I need you this much yeah.
01:08:30How?
01:08:33Philip is a good kind generous man. Why should Grace even think about leaving him for someone
01:08:39she hasn't been in touch with for 20 years? It's just one of those times you want me to actually
01:08:44answer because nobody can help who they fall in love with and you know that better than anybody.
01:08:53Just remember back a few years your parents weren't so excited with your choice either
01:08:58and that's turned out pretty good. You raised a smart daughter Mary Anderson and
01:09:02Grace will do the right thing but that is the right thing for her. Oh that's what I'm afraid of.
01:09:11It's not too late. It is Rach. It is not too late. Listen I know that you are scared to tell Grace
01:09:19how deep your feelings run for her but maybe if you just tell her exactly what you told me.
01:09:24Maybe what? She's with someone else. I can't think that just because I'm in town for a short
01:09:30period of time all of a sudden Grace is going to realize that she's still in love with me
01:09:34and I can't expect her to have the same feelings as I do and I certainly can't expect her to change
01:09:38her life for me based on a relationship that we had so many years ago when we were kids.
01:09:43Rach we were kids.
01:09:47Michael you are my brother so I know what I'm about to say is true.
01:09:52You are a smart man and smart men don't let the loves of their lives walk away twice.
01:10:02Tell her how you feel before you leave.
01:10:11Can you believe that there's more where this came from?
01:10:15I'm sorry Philip what'd you say? Nothing no. You okay? You uh you seem distracted.
01:10:29Oh I it's the hotel. I've been thinking about what I have to do making checklists in my head.
01:10:36I'm sorry you're right I have been distracted. Grace it's okay I know you've had a lot going on.
01:10:42I understand. Thank you for being patient and understanding.
01:10:45Well you can thank me tonight. I thought maybe we'd get some dinner after we're done here.
01:10:52I think that would be great Philip yeah I would love that.
01:10:57Well good I've got to get this box over to your mom. She's got a system going
01:11:05and you know how your mom is. Yes you cannot mess with her system.
01:11:12Grace can you get the rest of the boxes? Yes I will mom right now.
01:11:20Hey.
01:11:24It feels like we haven't talked recently. You know I have been so busy with work and and I
01:11:30have another job coming up but Lindsay can handle the walkthrough and any problems that
01:11:34might happen. It won't take long I just wanted to tell you something. Um okay where do I start?
01:11:41Hi Michael nice to see you again. And you. Grace I really need those boxes. We don't want to mess
01:11:48up with my system now and I'm sure Michael will understand it being for charity and all.
01:11:53I can uh help you. Oh no Bill can do it. He knows the ones I need. Mom I'll go get them thank you.
01:12:02Now's not a good time. I guess not. Can we talk later? Um yeah.
01:12:21Okay is this it? Yeah this is the last box.
01:12:39Are you okay? I'm fine. Because your mom said that you're having some trouble. Mom this is great.
01:12:48Well I've never been all that great at giving you advice you know because I don't love you.
01:12:54You know I do but just it's been more her jurisdiction. Right I know daddy I'm fine thank you.
01:13:09Scott honey would you get the door please? Yeah. Tell Philip I'll be ready in a minute. Okay.
01:13:18Hey did you tell Philip I'll be right down? Nope. Why? It wasn't Philip.
01:13:33Michael hi. Wow you uh look beautiful. Thank you. Um now is it it's not a good time. I um
01:13:45I have plans with Philip. Um can we talk tomorrow? Uh you know this this won't take long. I uh
01:13:53just thought I'd come by to tell you that I
01:13:59I I just came by to say goodbye. I'm I'm sorry I um I thought you weren't leaving for a few days.
01:14:09Are you asking me to stay?
01:14:17No Michael I. Hey Michael. Hi good to see you. Good to see you too Philip.
01:14:27Dude you look pretty serious just now. Everything okay with the hotel? Oh no it's just fine.
01:14:33Look Michael Grace and I were just about to grab some dinner. Would you uh you like to join us?
01:14:39No no I thank you. That's very nice but um I'll have to take a rain check. Oh and yeah
01:14:49there are already fires for me to put out on the new construction site so I really should leave.
01:14:53Well if the job you two did on the hotel in town is any indication
01:14:59this next one's in good hands for sure. It's only too bad that
01:15:03Grace can't help on the remodel on this one. Yeah it is. She was amazing. Yeah it was it was all all Grace.
01:15:18Philip pleasure to meet you. You too. And again Grace.
01:15:29Thank you.
01:15:34For everything.
01:15:47I'm gonna go get my coat.
01:15:48Yeah.
01:15:59You've been awfully quiet tonight. Oh I'm sorry Philip. I think um I think the last few weeks
01:16:06have caught up with me. It's nothing that a good night's sleep won't fix. I'm not so sure about that.
01:16:14Not so sure about what? I'm not so sure what's troubling you can be fixed by sleeping.
01:16:21I think it's more than that. Oh Philip I um. Listen to me for a minute Grace.
01:16:28I like you. I really do. I mean we spend Saturday night movies together and Chinese take out on
01:16:38Tuesdays so when you think about it we've been really great friends and I'm not saying that's
01:16:45a bad thing Grace because it's not. It's just I'd always hoped it would turn into something more.
01:16:53Oh Philip there's nothing going on between Michael and I. I mean there was 20 years ago
01:16:59but there's nothing going on now. Well I'm telling you there should be Grace and I don't want you to
01:17:06feel bad about this. People come and go in each other's lives all the time.
01:17:13I just think it's time we move on as friends. Are you sure?
01:17:21Grace you don't look at me the way you look at Michael. If you could see what I
01:17:26see when the two of you are in the same room it's like it's like no one else exists.
01:17:32Thank you Philip. Be happy Grace.
01:17:55Oh hey I'm just moving to my new office. I don't officially start until tomorrow.
01:18:01Oh yeah congratulations. Lindsay told me and she's really happy. That makes two of us.
01:18:08I'm actually looking for Michael. I gotta talk to him. Michael he actually left already Grace.
01:18:12He uh tied up all his loose ends last night. Took the first flight out this morning.
01:18:16Do you want me to take a message if I talk to him? No that's okay. It uh
01:18:23it wasn't important anyway. Thanks. I feel like I did 20 years ago.
01:18:31Well perhaps if you called Philip and you told him how you feel. Mom this is not about
01:18:34Philip this is about Michael. Honestly Grace I haven't a clue as to what you're talking about.
01:18:41I thought Philip broke up with you last night. He did but I didn't do anything to stop him
01:18:47because he was right. He was right that that I'm in love with Michael.
01:18:55That I always have been. Oh look I know you don't like him. I know you've never approved.
01:19:02Now hold on hold on a second. I have nothing against Michael and I never have. The problem
01:19:07I had was the relationship in general that you two had. You were entirely too young to be that
01:19:13serious and as for now well as of last night you were involved with someone else
01:19:22and I I didn't want you to make a hasty decision. It doesn't matter anyway.
01:19:30I went to go and talk to him first thing this morning. He was already gone.
01:19:36Well I know you don't want to think this about Michael but maybe it was just a way for him to
01:19:41pass the time while he was here. Mom he asked me if I wanted him to stay and I didn't answer him.
01:19:50He didn't hold me back 20 years ago.
01:19:55I didn't want to be the reason to hold him back 20 years later. Well
01:20:00have you thought about calling him? No if he wanted to talk to me he would call me
01:20:06and if he wanted to stay he wouldn't have left town. Grace do you have any idea how old you sound?
01:20:14I know it sounds so crazy us be together after all these years but
01:20:18I know it sounds so crazy us be together after all these years but
01:20:26but I love him. I really do.
01:20:33But now it's too late. Oh no it's never too late when it's love Grace. Never.
01:20:49You coming to bed? Oh in a minute I have to take care of something first. I don't like it when you
01:21:01get all quiet Mary Anderson it usually means you're up to no good. Oh hush Bill I'll be up in
01:21:05a minute yeah go on go on go on one six five five five one nine six eight.
01:21:21Hi this is Michael please leave me a message. Michael this is Mary Grace's mother um I got
01:21:28your number from Grace's cell phone not that she knows I'm calling however um I can't believe I'm
01:21:33saying this after all these years but you should know that you were the one Grace loved 20 years
01:21:39ago and you are still the one she loves today. Mary what are you up to? Okay that should do it
01:21:46you have been informed you can do whatever you want with the information bye-bye oh I'm exhausted
01:21:53what a day.
01:22:06Lindsay uh did the Anderson job call to confirm the meeting for Wednesday? Yep Wednesday's a go
01:22:11but before you start thinking about the Anderson job you should have a meeting with someone else
01:22:14first. What are you talking about? He's in your office now. Okay do you want to hold a second?
01:22:28Michael. Hi um
01:22:32um it's been over 20 years since we first met and I have never felt so strongly about anybody
01:22:47before that moment and I know a lot of time has passed between us but right here right now
01:22:55I can say with all the confidence in the world that I still feel the same way about you
01:23:03I have waited my entire life for someone like you
01:23:11and here you are again
01:23:15and I would like nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you
01:23:18Grace Anderson I love you more than anything I always have and I always will
01:23:26so will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?
01:23:39yes Michael yes
01:23:56you
