00:00Reservation under the name Fuller?
00:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04You've got to be kidding me.
00:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08Please don't see me, please don't see me, please don't see me.
00:18Talent Interiors, this is Zoe speaking.
00:20Are you joining me for dinner or not?
00:23Uh, you are my new client.
00:37And you are my new interior designer.
00:41I can call my boss and have him put somebody else on the project, given our history.
00:47That might be best.
00:49Don't be silly.
00:51We can be adults, right?
00:54Besides, I know how talented you are.
01:01Okay, well then, let's just dive right in, huh?
01:05Uh, thought it might be a good idea to start getting your input with what you envision for your home.
01:09Tone it on the mood.
01:11Going for your space?
01:16Let's eat first.
01:21Whatever you say.
01:24Boss?
01:26Were you always this testy?
01:30Always.
01:32Neither could deny it.
01:34The chemistry between them was electric.
01:36I thought that the wood made a nice contrast with the lighter colors.
01:41I really like the wood textures here.
01:43You're definitely onto something.
01:45These are really interesting.
01:46Yeah.
01:56I'm sorry if I'm overloading you.
01:59We definitely don't have to figure out everything tonight.
02:02No, it's not that.
02:05What is it?
02:09Why didn't you ever call, Zoe?
02:13Excuse me?
02:14Why did you leave?
02:17So suddenly, I mean, I had no idea where you went.
02:20How could she tell him the truth?
02:22What his own mother had done to her?
02:27I, um...
02:28She had to protect herself and Max.
02:31She couldn't get wrapped up in the Dexters again.
02:38I'm so sorry.
02:40Hello.
02:43Yes, of course.
02:44Have her prep for surgery.
02:45I'll be right there.
02:47Is everything okay?
02:49It will be.
02:52I guess we'll have to continue this conversation further at another time.
03:03As Zoe watched Blaine leave, she wished she could have explained everything to him in that moment.
03:09But she couldn't put Max at risk.
03:12Besides, patients needed his healing hands.
03:15She remembered when they healed her from her own terrible accident all those years ago.
03:21Oh, I'm not...
03:22I'm sorry.
03:23I can come back.
03:24It's okay.
03:25I, um...
03:26I'm kind of struggling with these, um...
03:32Do you mind if I help?
03:39What's your name?
03:40Zoe.
03:42Hi, Zoe.
03:44I'm Dr. Dexter.
03:46You can call me Blaine.
03:48As Blaine fastened Zoe's gown, a shiver ran down her spine.
03:53How's that feel?
03:55Um, yeah.
03:57Good, I guess.
04:01How's that?
04:06Um...
04:08It's perfect.
04:09Blaine could feel something between Zoe and him.
04:13But he had to maintain professionalism.
04:21Oh!
04:22Oh, Blaine.
04:23You okay?
04:24Yeah, um, sorry.
04:26You seem nervous.
04:27No, no, no.
04:28It's just, uh, probably the accident.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Well, I think as a precaution, we should have you stay here another day.
04:36Will you be my doctor?
04:38Yeah.
04:40You don't like me?
04:42No, it's not that.
04:44I just, I don't want to, um, take you away from other patients that might need you more than me.
04:51Well, something tells me that you need mine.
04:54Little did he know, this same man would get me pregnant only ten months later.
05:09Blaine was engaged.
05:11Why was he paying for dinner?
05:13And offering his private number?
05:15What could he want from her?
05:18I can't believe we lost him.
05:20I really thought he'd pull through.
05:23Oh.
05:32You seem distracted.
05:36Oh, hey, sorry about that.
05:38Yeah, I wish we could have saved him too.
05:42You know, for a moment there, I thought I saw a light on in you, Blaine.
05:45Thinking about your fiancé?
05:47Nope.
05:48Just distracted.
05:49Well, who are you thinking about?
05:51Don't be ridiculous.
06:01I'm sorry.
06:03I'm sorry. I was just playing and my ball got away.
06:07Are you a doctor?
06:08I am.
06:09You look strong. Like a superhero.
06:12What's your name, kid?
06:14I'm Max. What's your name?
06:16I'm Dr. Blaine Dexter.
06:18You can call me Dr. Blaine.
06:21Oh, you're the brain surgeon with the penthouse downtown.
06:25And your family's loaded.
06:27You live in Moorpark, don't you?
06:29Are you a detective?
06:31Oh, the nurses want to marry you.
06:34Are you single?
06:35Actually, I have a fiancé.
06:40What's wrong with having a fiancé?
06:42It's just, if you were single, I would have introduced you to my mom.
06:46My grandma always says she needs a good man to take care of her.
06:50And you look like a good man.
06:52Are you her matchmaker?
06:54She used to be married, but now they don't live together anymore.
06:58I'm sorry to hear that.
07:00So if I fall asleep one day and never wake up again, she'd be all alone.
07:05Well, then let's just hope that doesn't happen, okay?
07:08Who is your mom, anyways?
07:10Max? Max, I've been looking for you everywhere.
07:13Let's get you to your room, okay?
07:17What's wrong with the little guy?
07:19Leukemia.
07:21His whole family's been tested, but we haven't found a match for a bone marrow transplant yet.
07:26Bye, Dr. Blaine.
07:28Blaine felt his heart ache at Ramona's answer.
07:31He knew how difficult it was to find that kind of donor.
07:36Max!
07:38There you are. Where'd you go?
07:40You have to stay in your room, you little troublemaker.
07:43Well, he struck up a friendship with the hot surgeon, Dr. Dexter.
07:52Hey, Max, sweetie, go in. I'll be right there.
07:57Ramona, Dr. Dexter cannot know who Max is.
08:01He can't know his last name, he can't know that he's related to me, okay? Do you understand?
08:05Zoe, what's going on?
08:06Please, just promise me.
08:10I promise you.
08:12Okay. Thank you.
08:17Zoe couldn't tell her that Blaine's mother attempted to take her life and Max's four years ago.
08:23But she had to keep Max safe.
08:25And keeping the truth from Blaine was the only way.
08:29But would she be able to keep them apart forever?
08:32Only time would tell.
