00:00Nate! Oh, you're back in town.
00:05Sorry I'm late. The plane from Boston was delayed as usual.
00:09You're here now, right? That's what matters.
00:11Right.
00:12Cool.
00:13So, I made some changes on the plane.
00:14Okay.
00:15Got in touch with the city for the final code inspections.
00:17Okay.
00:18There should be no further delays.
00:19Awesome.
00:20Is that the art for the lobby?
00:21For the whole wall to the entrance to the new pediatric waiting area.
00:23What do you think?
00:24I thought we were going for art that would compliment the modern lines of the building.
00:28No, the board thought she captures a lot of innocence that would connect with younger patients.
00:32Besides, she has a lot of experience.
00:34It's a little juvenile, don't you think?
00:36I mean, I didn't spend all this money on industrial materials to have it covered with clouds and butterflies.
00:41Well, I like to think I've captured the essence of the community in my sketch.
00:44Either way, murals for the patients, not you.
00:49Vanessa Brent, juvenile artist.
00:54Pleased to meet you.
00:57I'm sorry if I offended you.
00:59I should get started on the mural.
01:01I have a tangle lesson to get to later, and Carlos cannot be kept waiting.
01:10Oh, let's take a look at those revisions.
01:12I'm really curious to see what you came up with.
01:13All right.
01:14Sounds good.
01:24Hello.
01:35Stop.
01:36It's ok, I'm ok.
01:37It's Sasha.
01:40I just tried to do too much today.
01:43I'm ok.
01:53This totally feels like old times.
02:07Yeah.
02:08The Creek Falls Project came along just the right time.
02:11I needed to get away.
02:13Too many memories of Taylor and I in Boston.
02:16I was sorry to hear that you two split.
02:20This is just not my night.
02:36No.
02:37Hi, can I have a large orange juice please?
02:40Thanks.
02:53Um, I'm ready for round two. You want another?
03:01Hey.
03:04How was the tango lesson?
03:07Wonderful.
03:11Would you like to join Wallace and I? Our dart games are actually...
03:14I don't mix business with pleasure.
03:16Nothing good ever comes of that.
03:20Sorry, that was uncalled for.
03:22I see.
03:25Honestly, I have been feeling quite myself.
03:28I thought I'd stop by for a minute and rehydrate after a big class.
03:33You seem a little bit tired.
03:35Uh, Wallace and I will probably call it a night before too long if you'd like a ride home.
03:38Oh, no, it's all right. I'll just cap.
03:40Hey, you want to dance for your lady?
03:42Oh, no, I'm...
03:44Yeah?
03:45No, not really. I'm just feeling a little...
03:47Yeah, I'm actually... I'm going to get her home.
03:51Understood?
03:52I'm a perfect match if you want to hook me up later.
03:59Thank you for the save, but for the record, I can take care of myself.
04:04Duly noted.
04:07Is that ride home still an offer?
04:11Yeah, it'd be my pleasure.
04:19I'm not too far, just up by the inn.
04:22Yeah, no problem. I know it.
04:24So, aside from being a mural painter and a tango dancer,
04:30what else is there to know about Vanessa Brent?
04:33Not much to tell.
04:34I'm out on the road a lot, on commissions, so I don't really have a home base.
04:39Although my rabbit keeps me grounded.
04:42Wherever he is, that's home.
04:45What about a home base? Everybody needs a home.
04:51I guess I lost so many people, that home base got lost a long way, too.
04:56Yeah, I know the feeling.
04:59There we go.
05:02Whoa, check out that bike.
05:04Well, I could take you for a ride sometime if you wanted.
05:06You have a bike?
05:07Actually, I have that one.
05:12Why is your bike parked outside the inn?
05:14Actually, I kind of own the inn, too.
05:17I thought Iris owned the inn.
05:19I'm her son.
05:21The one who lives in Boston?
05:23Used to live in Boston, yeah.
05:25I had a minor life disruption, so I'm back to regroup and work on the hospital.
05:34So you live here now?
05:36Yeah.
05:37If I owned a place that nice, I would not leave.
05:40Well, thanks.
05:42Thank you so much for the ride.
05:45No problem.
05:47Good night.
05:51Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:22Now, remission isn't something we can give guarantees on, but this is what we do know.
06:41I hope I'm not bothering you.
06:43I brought a peace offering.
06:45It's barbecue from my favorite place.
06:47Can I bring it in?
06:50Fortunately, your favorite place's barbecue smells delicious.
06:54So I won't send you and your food home.
06:56I'm tired, but I'm also starving.
06:59Oh, I'm sorry.
07:00I'm sorry.
07:01I'm sorry.
07:02I'm sorry.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:04I'm sorry.
07:05I'm sorry.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:07I'm sorry.
07:08I'm sorry.
07:09I'm starving.
07:10I guess I'm lucky I caught you hungry.
07:12Lucky is as lucky does.
07:15Nate, meet Lucky.
07:18Does my mom know that you have vermin running loose in the guest house?
07:22He's not a vermin.
07:23He's a rabbit.
07:24He's house trained.
07:25What kind of heathen buddy do you think he is?
07:27One with nasty shark teeth.
07:30Oh, he doesn't bite.
07:31He's vegetarian.
07:33Vegan.
07:34Actually.
07:35The art I create will, it will live on.
07:38It'll outlive the both of us.
07:41I can capture a moment in time and someone 20 years from now will get joy from seeing it for the first time.
07:48See, that's exactly how I feel about my builds.
07:51You know, it's like I'm a part of them.
07:55Do you have pictures of any of your buildings?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Yeah.
08:00A few.
08:06This is from a few months ago.
08:07It's an apartment complex.
08:09I love the lines.
08:11Very mature.
08:13I like the materials you used.
08:15It's very modern.
08:42See you tomorrow.
08:43Definitely.
08:45Good night, Nate.
08:48Night.
09:05Come on.
09:26Vanessa?
09:28Vanessa?
09:30You forgot your purse.
09:33Vanessa?
09:56Hey, you.
09:58Hey, you.
10:02I went out cold, right?
10:04Yeah.
10:07I hate that on a third date.
10:13No more jokes.
10:18It's time to come clean, then.
10:21It's time.
10:24What if I'm not ready?
10:27Then I don't know if this can grow into anything more than a friendship.
10:33Why not?
10:36Look, I've already had a woman in my life with secrets.
10:41And it wrecked me.
10:44You're mysterious, and it's intriguing, but you scared me.
10:52I need answers.
10:54I need answers.
10:56I'm just living life on my own terms.
10:59I'm not connecting or sharing your life. It doesn't feel like living.
11:03It feels like running away.
11:05Fair enough, but it's my life.
11:19Then I'll leave you to it.
11:23Okay.
11:34Wow.
11:36I can't believe it. You've really captured the spirit of Creek Falls.
11:40It's peaceful, welcoming, and you're not even finished.
11:44Thanks, Carolyn. That means a lot to me.
11:54Hey, Carolyn.
11:55Hey.
11:57Hi, Vanessa.
11:59Hi.
12:00Can I talk to you for a minute?
12:02Sure, if you like.
12:04Nice to see you, Nate.
12:05You too.
12:11Glad to see you back at work.
12:15You really scared me.
12:17I'm sorry. I wasn't up to talking the other day.
12:21What you saw is a byproduct of the medication I have to take to make sure I can keep working on my list.
12:29So you want me to stop worrying about you?
12:31Yes.
12:33What if I want to spend more time with you?
12:35Well, we can keep having fun together and work on my list.
12:40Well, I did get a peek at that list and there is something special I think I could help with.
12:46Why don't I pick you up after lunch and we take the afternoon off?
12:51Sounds like a plan.
12:54Bye.
13:09Bye.
13:17Right on time.
13:19Yes, being on time can be a bit of a curse, but today it's working for me.
13:23So are you ready to go?
13:25Pretty much.
13:28So, what's the surprise?
13:30Today I am the one with the secrets.
13:32Now, are you sure you don't need a secret consultant? Because I have years of experience.
13:36Yeah, I think I picked up a few pointers.
13:40So I'm guessing there's a car ride in my future?
13:44That is uncanny. How did you do that?
13:46I'm a psychic.
13:50Are we going hiking? Because I have sails on.
13:52Nope, not even close.
13:53Hot air ballooning?
13:54No.
13:55Paris. You're taking me to Paris.
13:59Okay, now do I get to see the surprise?
14:01Patience is a virtue.
14:03Sometimes it feels like luxury.
14:07Ta-da!
14:13Butterflies!
14:22Look!
14:33Lovely.
14:43When I was a little girl, my grandma told me that butterflies only live for a day.
14:48You know, some butterflies actually live for weeks, even months.
14:53Really?
14:54Yes, indeed.
14:55And monarch butterflies go on these incredible journeys where they migrate for thousands of miles.
15:00That kind of sounds like my journey.
15:03Well, I'm just glad that your journey brought you here.
15:23So, do you have any more fun facts about butterflies, Mr. Science?
15:27I do, actually.
15:29Did you know that butterflies are cold-blooded?
15:33They need to bask in the sun in order to be able to fly.
15:38How do you know all this?
15:40I worked here for a few summers to help pay my way through college.
15:44That's nice.
15:46Yeah, I felt like I was on this path I thought everyone had to be on.
15:51College, career, get married, start a family of my own.
15:56Oh, thank you.
15:59I did not see this big break in the road.
16:02Sounds like you were blindsided.
16:05Maybe.
16:06Or maybe I was just paying too much attention to the road ahead.
16:11So focused on checking boxes, I never engaged with my life.
16:18Divorces sort of forced me to pay attention.
16:23And are you paying attention now?
16:26I sure am.
16:34Now, I would like to share with you one of my very favorite things.
16:38Oh.
16:41How did you? What?
16:44This is a peanut butter and mayo sandwich.
16:48Mayo?
16:49I know.
16:50You're a little kooky, Nate Dalton.
16:52Kooky, Nate Dalton.
16:53I prefer fun-loving.
16:56Okay.
17:00I know.
17:01Okay, here we go.
17:05It's really good.
17:06Yeah.
17:08It's really satisfying.
17:11I invented this when I was eight.
17:12No, you did not.
17:14Really?
17:15It caused a stir in my school.
17:18A shooting star.
17:20Make a wish.
17:29Let me guess.
17:31You wish to finish your list.
17:35What do you wish for?
17:38For you to be okay.
17:43I want you to be okay.
17:45I want you to be okay.
17:46Are you okay?
17:47I'm okay. I told you I could take care of myself.
17:56I just don't think it concerns you.
18:04I want it to concern me.
18:09I'm just not ready, Nate.
18:15You shine brighter than the stars.
18:19And you know your butterflies.
18:23I love that those butterflies made you so happy.
18:28You're freezing.
18:30Let's get you home real quick.
18:31No, I like it out here.
18:35It's peaceful.
18:38Five more minutes?
18:40Five more minutes.
18:41Five more minutes.
18:57So, what's next?
19:00Riding wild stallions?
19:01Bareback?
19:02What else is on the list?
19:04There's rock climbing.
19:06I know a good place for rocks.
19:08We can go tomorrow.
19:09It's Saturday. I'm not working.
19:10I should probably keep working on the mural.
19:13But thank you for a truly special day.
19:17I loved every minute of it.
19:20Well, I will see you for breakfast in the dining room,
19:23where I will do my best to convince you to spend the whole day with me.
19:27Sounds good.
19:32Good night.
19:33Good night.
19:41What do you think?
19:44Can we trust him?
19:47I like him too.
19:50Maybe.
19:51Just maybe.
19:52We can cross the last two items on the list one day.
19:57Maybe.
20:07Smells good.
20:08Smells good.
20:09No early risers?
20:10They'll be down in a few minutes.
20:12How was the social?
20:14Any good gossip this week?
20:15Hey, is Arthur Goodman still doing the thing with the suspenders and the belt?
20:19Don't make fun of Arthur Goodman.
20:21There's nothing wrong with making sure your pants don't fall.
20:25Sit.
20:28I had a nice visit with Joyce.
20:31Her nephew is coming to visit next month.
20:34Of course he is.
20:35And all my friends want to know how your children's ward is coming along.
20:39Well, it isn't exactly mine,
20:41but you can tell them that I'm drafting the last couple of changes.
20:45They're going in for approvals.
20:47Yeah, we're nearly done.
20:48It's all pretty positive.
20:49Great.
20:50That's what I assumed.
20:53And how are you and Vanessa?
20:58I'm your mother.
21:00I see the way you two look at each other.
21:02She's a lovely person.
21:04Share.
21:05Well, uh, the mural is gorgeous.
21:11It's perfect for the kids.
21:14She just, she really seems to care.
21:17You can tell it with every brush stroke.
21:19And the way she teaches the children.
21:24So this is a relationship then?
21:27Uh, I don't know.
21:30She's very private.
21:32I saw her covering up some bandages from some blood tests.
21:36I don't know what's going on with her,
21:39but she doesn't want to tell me.
21:41And I can't have another relationship filled with secrets.
21:44Not after Taylor.
21:46Vanessa isn't like that.
21:47You two are good for each other.
21:49You lift each other up.
21:50Yeah, maybe, but what if...
21:52You need to let yourself heal from Taylor.
21:55And know that you and Vanessa are a completely different kind of couple.
22:01I wish people would stop bringing up Taylor.
22:04Who's bringing up Taylor?
22:07At the social?
22:09Sweetheart, I don't know how to say this except to say it.
22:15Joyce heard that Taylor's pregnant.
22:20Taylor?
22:21My, my Taylor?
22:22My, my, my ex Taylor?
22:26That Taylor, yes.
22:29Nate.
22:32Breathe, honey.
22:33Uh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
22:36I know how much you loved her.
22:38You stuck it out for so many years.
22:40Yeah, I did.
22:43I, uh, I thought we were toe-to-toe apart.
22:46I thought we wanted to have children together.
22:50I guess she just didn't want to have children with me.
22:57You know, sometimes things happen for a reason.
22:59It's only been a few months.
23:01She's already pregnant with somebody's baby?
23:04Yeah, I would have made a great father.
23:06And you will be when the time is right.
23:08Exactly.
23:09Never.
23:10Ready to convince her to take the day off, Nate?
23:16I can't do this.
23:17What?
23:18Nate.
23:19Nate!
23:23He's angry with someone else, not with you.
23:26Not one day has gone by in these last few weeks
23:28that Nate hasn't smiled from ear to ear because of you.
23:31There is no way.
23:32No, there is every way he wouldn't want this.
23:42I don't blame him.
23:57Sam.
24:03I have done it all.
24:06I've done silly things on your list.
24:09I have done the dangerous things on the list.
24:15But the last two, Sam.
24:18To love and be loved and to get married.
24:23I don't know.
24:25I have opened up my heart.
24:30You know how hard it is for me to do that.
24:33But I really try.
24:37The last two things on the list.
24:39I don't know if I have it in me.
24:41It's just...
24:44I don't know.
24:54I am losing faith.
24:58I have fought so hard.
25:02And I've done all the treatments.
25:06And I've poured my heart on countless murals across the country.
25:11And I painted you in them as an angel.
25:15Because I felt you with me.
25:22I am tired.
25:24I am tired to the bone.
25:27I just...
25:29I just need to rest.
25:31Please adjust.
25:34I need to rest.
25:36Please.
25:58You have knocked it out of the park, Vanessa.
26:02This mural is ten times more amazing than I thought it would be.
26:06I can't wait to share this with everyone at the opening gala.
26:09Thanks, Wallace.
26:13So.
26:15You think you'll finish in time?
26:17I always do.
26:20Excellent.
26:23You sealed a deal to remodel a hospital in Vermont.
26:27And they asked if you'd be interested in painting a mural for them.
26:35Are you?
26:36You bet.
26:38I love the state of Vermont.
26:39And I've always wanted to work on a project there.
26:41I'm all about ice cream.
26:45Well, they'll find you a place to live and they've got a good budget.
26:48Great.
26:49The more I get, the more I can give back.
26:55I understand supporting a cause and everything, but can I ask?
27:00I mean, how are you living?
27:02You need money to live too, right?
27:05I have my own means.
27:08And art raises the spirits, no matter how dire your situation.
27:14I focus on serene colors so that the kids that come in here can feel comfort and light.
27:21I need to feel the peace and the hope that art can inspire.
27:26I want my art to make you feel better without you even knowing why.
27:33I should stop chatting and keep painting if I'm going to finish this on time for the gala.
27:38Let the Vermont Hospital know you agreed to do their mural.
27:40Thanks, Wallace.
27:46Over the moon.
27:53Climbing is such a workout, I'm feeling muscles I never even knew I had.
27:58There's a real color in your cheeks.
28:01I'm glad to see my son's absence isn't a drain on you.
28:06It's hurting me more than I want to admit, Iris.
28:10I can't wallow in it.
28:11I have to finish the mural in time for the gala.
28:14Will you stay after the gala?
28:16I don't think so.
28:18I got a job in Vermont.
28:20I'll be painting the mural of the hospital there.
28:23Wallace is project managing.
28:25You're moving to Vermont?
28:27Mm-hmm.
28:29All the fresh air and the fresh dairy, it'll be fun.
28:33All good points, but will you tell Nate?
28:37Well, he's not exactly around to tell.
28:40I haven't seen him. Have you?
28:43His boss called him back on a project up in Boston that was erupting like a volcano.
28:48Apparently he's been spending too much time here and the other projects suffered.
28:52Well, that's that.
28:56I'm glad he's getting his priorities in order.
28:59You are exactly what he needs right now.
29:03If he had said that himself, I'd be inclined to believe it.
29:07Please talk to him, Vanessa.
29:12I'm going to miss you, Iris.
29:16I should go. I'll talk to you later.
29:28So he just left for Boston.
29:31I still can't believe he just left.
29:33Well, his boss needed him back on a project, apparently.
29:35Sure, his work.
29:38He came back for the weekend, right?
29:41You didn't hear me. Nate left, period.
29:47Here you go, buddy.
29:49Sorry, I dropped it.
29:51That's okay.
29:53I noticed you were putting a lot of work into your painting today.
29:56I like seeing that kind of effort.
29:59I hope to be as good as you one day.
30:02Well, I think that you can do whatever you set your mind to, Reese.
30:09I'm waiting.
30:11Waiting for what?
30:13For you to say that you'll fight for him.
30:15I have done enough fighting for my life.
30:17In my life.
30:19I'm kind of over it.
30:21But I saw the way he looked at you the other day when he dropped by and he barely knew you then.
30:25Will you at least just tell him about your move to Vermont?
30:29I don't want you to leave, Vanessa.
30:33Oh, Sophia, you have so many great friends here.
30:37Friends? They'll always have your back.
30:40But who will have your back?
30:46Samantha. Always Samantha.
30:49Who's Samantha?
30:53She's someone who loved me and was always there for me.
31:02Excuse me.
31:05Vanessa?
31:22Nothing came up on your MRI.
31:24And your blood work markers look really good.
31:29Looks like you're just going to need routine blood work once a year.
31:32Once a year?
31:34Oh. Wow.
31:36So does that mean I'm officially in remission?
31:38It looks that way.
31:40You're a very lucky girl.
31:42I know.
31:44Every morning I wake up, I'm grateful I'm still here.
31:47Well, it's been a long journey, but you beat the odds.
31:51And your diligence with the drug regime has really paid off.
31:55So no more pills?
31:57No more pills. Which means no more side effects.
32:02You're so welcome.
32:04Good luck, Vanessa. Go live your life to the fullest.
32:07I will.
32:21Lucky, you are looking at a future top chef.
32:24Or maybe a future Nobel Peace Prize winner.
32:30Future?
32:34I haven't had an actual future in years.
32:42Think of all the murals I can paint now.
32:45And think of all the new adventures I can have.
32:48I can climb mountains, and I can see all the great art of the world.
32:52I can sail the seven seas.
32:55Although, I'm not sure if I like sailing.
32:59Well, we'll see.
33:05Ready for the next adventure, Lucky?
33:08I'll take that as a yes.
33:24Hey, thanks for calling.
33:26I was feeling a little out of loose ends with myself with Nate being gone again.
33:30Yeah.
33:32I'm glad we can go to the gala together.
33:34Me too.
33:36Life's too short to wait for anyone.
33:39You know it.
33:41You know what we should do?
33:43What?
33:44We should stay up all night and watch the sunrise.
33:47Okay, but I need a favor.
33:49Okay.
33:50Can you teach me how to tango? Can you?
33:52I can teach you.
33:53You can?
33:54I can.
33:55All right.
33:56We're on.
33:57Oh, dear.
33:59All right.
34:00You ready?
34:02Yeah.
34:03Yes.
34:04Be nice.
34:09I love, love, love, love, love it.
34:12The colors, the style, the images.
34:14This is Creek Falls.
34:16And you are giving hope to everyone who walks through these doors for care.
34:20It's extraordinary.
34:22Thanks, Caroline.
34:23You are now appointed my number one art reviewer.
34:26I'm not trying to inflate your ego.
34:28I'm truly blown away.
34:30You're going to make me blush.
34:32On another note, the kids are going to miss you terribly.
34:36I'm going to miss them, too.
34:38And I'll miss you.
34:40Becoming friends with you has been one of the best parts about living here.
34:43And there are a lot of good things about living here.
34:46You're going to make me blush.
34:48I'll try to swing by and visit the kids before I go.
34:53Is there any chance you could make Creek Falls your home base?
34:56You could still go and paint, travel, have big adventures, but just call this place home?
35:03I love Creek Falls, but I just have to follow my path.
35:09I have to be open to where the road, my road, will take me.
35:14And Nate?
35:17You don't see a path that leads you back to him?
35:20No, unfortunately not.
35:23He's still in Boston.
35:25I haven't heard from him.
35:27Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. That's really unlike him.
35:30I was blindsided. I left my heart out there.
35:35Open.
35:37I'm so confused about men now.
35:39Don't let Nate discourage you.
35:42There are a lot of decent guys. There is someone for you.
35:46You're right.
35:48I'll meet my soulmate out on the open road.
35:51That's very profound.
35:53But tonight we celebrate.
35:59I'm going to get us more champagne.
36:06Vanessa.
36:08Wallace.
36:09You'll be pleased to know that all your laboring has paid off.
36:12Everyone loves the mural.
36:16You should be proud.
36:17Thank you. I am really proud of my work.
36:21But I'm also really proud to be a part of this journey.
36:25It's quite an amazing journey.
36:28Yeah. I'm very grateful.
36:38Can't you dance?
36:40I would love to dance.
36:43You know, you still owe me that tank.
36:45I do. I do.
36:46Yeah, you do.
36:47You're a very good dancer.
36:53Is that me?
36:54Nate!
37:03Hey.
37:04Hey, Wallace.
37:05Nate?
37:08Excuse me.
37:10The mural was spectacular.
37:14Congratulations.
37:15Thanks.
37:20There's your signature angel.
37:25She's always there when someone needs strength.
37:38Your work is so famous.
37:40Why don't you just sign it with your own name?
37:43I don't paint murals in hospitals for attention, Nate.
37:47I don't do it for money.
37:49I do it to comfort the patients and their families and caregivers.
37:53To give them hope when there's darkness.
37:56To remind them that they're loved and they're not alone.
38:08So, you're leaving?
38:12Tomorrow.
38:20I'm going to go find Carol.
38:22No, please, Vanessa.
38:25I know I don't deserve it after my little vanishing act,
38:29but I would love the opportunity to give you an explanation.
38:38Okay.
38:40Okay.
38:46When I found out Taylor was pregnant,
38:49it really messed me up.
38:55I had been wanting a family for so long,
39:00and she had been resistant to that idea.
39:04And I realized, now that she just didn't want to have a family with me,
39:13I had to come to terms with that.
39:17I wasn't the right person for her.
39:20But more importantly, she wasn't the right person for me, either.
39:26Vanessa, you have opened me up to a living life,
39:31You have opened me up to living life fully.
39:36And my life doesn't feel full without you in it.
39:41You are my person, Vanessa.
39:47Look, I hear you.
39:52I just don't think I'm that important to you.
39:56I let you in and you just left without an explanation.
39:59You just left me here alone.
40:00I made a mistake. I understand that.
40:03I was just so confused about the list and the pills.
40:07But while I was away,
40:09I came to understand that it doesn't matter how much time we have,
40:14just that we get to spend it together.
40:21Time is so precious.
40:25I just don't know if I want to invest it in someone who's broken my trust.
40:37I'm sorry, Nate.
40:55It's open.
41:02Hey, Vanessa.
41:05Mind if I come in?
41:07Well, you own the place, so sure.
41:21Can we sit?
41:24Sure.
41:45So, is it quite a big mural that you're painting in Vermont?
41:54Very big.
41:55Well, sounds tough.
42:07How've you been?
42:09Fine.
42:11My mom mentioned that you'd gotten some news.
42:17Yeah, some really good news.
42:20You just won't let me in.
42:25I can see how, from your perspective, that seems true.
42:33But I was only trying to protect myself.
42:38And Samantha.
42:41Who is Samantha?
42:44I've heard you mention her. Was she your grandmother?
42:49No, she's not my grandmother.
42:54She's my guardian angel.
42:58And I am her life.
43:02It's okay. It's okay.
43:06Samantha, I miss you so much.
43:11It's okay.
43:14It's okay.
43:19She knew her disease was incurable, and yet she spent all her strength trying to help me.
43:29But that's the strength I see in you every day.
43:33That's the life that we see in your murals.
43:38After she died, I started to get better, and I went into remission.
43:46Your pills.
43:49I thought that you were dying, and that's what you couldn't share with me.
43:54No, the pills were to help me rebuild my immune system after years of treatments.
44:01I was in remission, but the doctors weren't ready to give me a clean bill of health.
44:08That's the news I got yesterday.
44:13And I wasn't here to share that with you.
44:19I'm so sorry.
44:21It's okay.
44:24There's something else that I haven't shared.
44:30When we first met, I couldn't place where I'd seen your artwork before.
44:36I went online and did some searching, but none of it really connected.
44:43Then at the gala, I saw your mural, and it clicked.
44:53My father was at a hospital in Delaware.
44:58He did a mural there.
45:01It must have been one of your first.
45:04He mentioned it several times, and I remember wheeling him back to his ward one time.
45:10He pointed out the angel in the mural.
45:15Your angel gave my father peace and tranquility in his final hours.
45:24She gave me peace.
45:27So you and I, we've been close, even though we've never met.
45:33I'm the painter, but Sam was always the angel.
45:37Well, she brought us together, so she's my angel, too.
45:42Yeah.
45:46I was so scared.
45:48We started working through your list.
45:52The closer we got, the more the idea of you dying engulfed me.
46:00I didn't know how to feel, but now I know.
46:06I know that I have fallen completely in love with you and your spirit.
46:13You've changed how I look at life and how precious our moments are here.
46:19Life's short. I don't want to waste any more time without you.
46:25Nate, I missed you so much.
46:36I'm yours, if you'll have me.
46:40Having you here right now, hearing what you're saying, is giving me more strength than you could possibly imagine.
46:49But don't disappear on me again, please.
46:53I promise. I promise.
46:55I didn't mean to run away on you.
46:58That was just about my past and letting go of old dreams so that I could restart and make new ones to look forward to the future.
47:11Yeah. The future.
47:18Sam wrote the bucket list.
47:23All the items on the list are things that she wanted for me.
47:28And I feel sad doing them because she never could.
47:33She wouldn't want you to feel sad.
47:37It's especially the last two.
47:40To fall in love and get married.
47:46They break me because she never got to meet her person.
47:52Never got to feel the way I feel about you.
47:57But she'd want you to feel that.
48:00Yeah. Yeah, she would.
48:08Yeah.
48:15I love you.
48:17I love your laugh and your smile and your art and your passion.
48:22I love you, too.
48:25I love you, too.
48:29So maybe we could make Creek Falls our home base.
48:38You could travel for your projects.
48:41I could travel for my projects.
48:43And we could get started on a combined list.
48:48What?
48:50Number one.
48:52Oh, it's like this one's just for me.
48:56Find the most beautiful girl in the world.
49:04And propose to her.
49:16Will you marry me?
49:18Yeah. Yes.
49:22I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
49:26Living our very own best.
49:31I think Samantha would like that.
49:33I think she would love that.
49:51I love you.
50:21Meet me where the road ends
50:24Lost out here without my friends
50:27You know, with all the life I've seen come through these doors,
50:30weddings and christenings and celebration of family and friends,
50:35I have never seen so much love between two people.
50:39I know my John can see that, too.
50:42Little pieces of the whole
50:45Someday we'll know
50:51When I wake up and I'm all alone
50:54I can feel it, I can feel it
50:57You may be seated.
51:00I can see it
51:02As tokens of their marriage,
51:04Nate and Vanessa have selected these rings.
51:10Nate, as you place this ring on Vanessa's finger,
51:13please repeat this vow.
51:16With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:21With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:27Vanessa, as you place this ring on Nate's finger,
51:31please repeat this vow.
51:34With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:39With this ring, I thee wed and pledge my love.
51:45Before these witnesses, I pronounce you, Nate,
51:48and you, Vanessa, husband and wife,
51:51you may kiss the bride.
