00:27:46my mind off things I just went grocery shopping let me help you
00:27:54my pleasure if you insist
00:27:59easy
00:28:10would you like to go have a drink and talk about the new system I drink okay
00:28:20some coffee and yeah sure hey Mike yeah Joe hold on a second hold on a second I
00:28:30I'll be right there you're right there I think I maybe forgot my phone in the
00:28:35Europe you almost left without you
00:28:44sorry about that did you get your phone oh yeah yeah I got my phone also before
00:28:49I forget here's your key oh thank you I thought you had that
00:28:53finished oh yeah
00:28:57oh
00:29:08hey what were you doing yeah I think so
00:29:27I
00:29:40so what I've done is I've gone through the entire house and I've updated all
00:29:45the sensors on all the windows and all the doors and I've also installed motion
00:29:49detectors outside in the yard the living room and upstairs hallway that sounds
00:29:56good I'm feeling safer already good so I'm not sure your new panels there's two
00:30:00panels there's one in your foyer and one in your bedroom and so what you do is if
00:30:05you guys are going out you punch in your code and you hit away if you're staying
00:30:10in going to bed or wherever you punch in your code and you hit stay and what stay
00:30:14does is activates everything but the internal motion detectors so that way if
00:30:18you know you get up in the middle of night and have a midnight snack it's not
00:30:23they're not gonna alert the police you're hungry and the code is still the
00:30:27same no I had to reset it but we can switch it back if you like or change it
00:30:31something new yeah I mean what is it now it's oh six oh five oh six oh five
00:30:38that's my birthday are you serious dead that is nuts
00:30:47Wow well I guess you won't forget it oh there's one thing can I borrow your
00:30:53phone there's one thing I'm gonna show you it's so cool yeah okay we'll punch
00:31:00in your code okay so what I've done for you is I've installed a security camera
00:31:07in the backyard okay with a floodlight so if anybody trespasses you will have
00:31:14it on record and what's really cool is you can access the camera from anywhere
00:31:17so okay that's your app right there and that button right there you press that
00:31:21and that is your camera go ahead
00:31:26Ali I should go something wrong it's my daughter she has people over well she
00:31:33probably just doesn't want to be alone after that break-in well all the more
00:31:36reason I should go so I know this is not my place I think maybe you should
00:31:45let her have this what one way or another she has to find her own way
00:31:50through that fear right and so she can do it this way where you you can check
00:31:54on her keep an eye on her or she goes somewhere else where you won't be able
00:31:58to do that and Dylan you don't have to worry about Dylan he's a great kid maybe
00:32:04you're right yeah I'm probably just not ready for her to date I suppose yeah
00:32:13and what about yourself dating you said you're not ready well I didn't think I
00:32:25was ready I mean I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I am have you met
00:32:42someone recently no no no it's nothing really I barely know him and but I do
00:32:51think he's interested in me
00:32:55well if he does like you he's gonna be patient you don't think I'll just move
00:33:01on
00:33:04no no he understands
00:33:10he understands this is complicated for you and it's all new right and I think
00:33:19what he's waiting for is a clearer signal and you and I both know how
00:33:27precious life could be you never know what tomorrow will bring
00:33:35I hope it's okay tell me I'm Veronica I'm making some popcorn you want some
00:33:51all right oh hey Dylan yeah what's up I'm just really glad that you came over
00:34:01to hang out today feel a lot safer now that you're here
00:34:17how long did you wait wait for what to date after you lost your wife no no no I
00:34:25never did no I told myself never unless I found someone as perfect and as
00:34:35beautiful as committed and enchanting as she was but I'm sorry I might be Ali
00:34:45don't forget you can see her
00:34:48call 9-1-1 look there's a fire
00:34:59I'll meet you over there
00:35:15I'm sorry are you okay she's fine everything's under control what happened
00:35:32it seems one of your daughter's friends put an aluminum stovetop popcorn popper
00:35:36in the microwave sorry cause loud sparks to smoke but no real damage you're a
00:35:43fireman guilty as charged wait do you guys know each other
00:35:48yeah Chris's mom is a resident where I work grandma introduced us we didn't
00:35:54really get acquainted as much as I would have liked no we didn't but you know
00:35:58what we should well I'm off Saturday night how about we grab a bite you have
00:36:05yourself a date
00:36:08no more popcorn
00:36:17are you mad no sweetie I'm relieved I'm sorry I just after last night I don't
00:36:25want to be in the house alone I was scared listen there's nothing to be
00:36:30scared of all right I mean whoever broke in here he's not coming back and even if
00:36:34he did we have a whole new alarm system looking after us now look I want to give
00:36:40you something okay it's a gift from grandma something to make you feel safe
00:36:46whoa grandma get you pepper spray don't underestimate grandma guess who it's
00:36:53from who your father so you see it's kind of a special hand-me-down let's
00:37:01hope you never have to use it but just in case I want you to keep it in your
00:37:03pocket or your purse at all times I'd be too noticeable in my pocket my purse
00:37:08might get snatched I think I have a better spot for it where's that my sock
00:37:13next to my ankle and that way no one will know it's there that is smart I
00:37:19have to admit I'm not just pretty face okay now for your punishment I want to
00:37:24hear about your boyfriend oh my god he's not my boyfriend mom this is gonna be so
00:37:29some cleaning I need to get to
00:37:33there you are are you out of your mind trying to run us over that was just to
00:37:59get your attention that's all what was I supposed to do you won't return my
00:38:05text you won't answer my calls it's like you don't want to talk to me I don't
00:38:08want to talk to you come on Mike we belong together Julia I told you yes you
00:38:16told me yes you told me I still love my wife and I can and it's too soon and
00:38:20then I see you shamelessly flirting with that woman I'm helping her with a
00:38:27security system is all okay well maybe she'll fall for that crap but I won't I
00:38:32have eyes Mike and I saw what you did
00:38:40what did you see who knows I saw you stumble upon her break-in heroically
00:38:50chase away her intruder or maybe I saw what really happened it is what really
00:38:58happened sure you didn't hop the fence and stage a break-in so you could rush
00:39:08inside and save the day because that's the other thing that I may have seen
00:39:14happen
00:39:20why would I do that so she can mistake you for the hero that you know you'll
00:39:25never be what is it you want you know what I want I just I want you to take me
00:39:31to the party aren't you already going to the party yes I'm going but I want to go
00:39:34with you and I want you to take me as your date I just I want one day Mike one
00:39:39day where you just pay attention to me and if you can't give me that then I'm
00:39:47gonna tell her everything
00:39:51get out I'm gonna take that as a yes
