26 Art of Falling in Love RR
Transcript
00:00You
00:09Hey
00:10You're back in town
00:12Sorry, I'm late. The plane from Boston was delayed as usual. You're here now, right? Right. That's what matters, right? Cool
00:18So I made some changes on the plane. Okay got in touch with the city for the final code inspections
00:23There should be no further delays
00:25Is that the art for the lobby for the whole wall to the entrance to the new pediatric waiting area
00:29What do you think I thought we were going for art that would complement the modern lines of the building
00:34No, the board thought she captures a lot of innocence that would connect with younger patients. Besides. She has a lot of experience
00:41It's a little juvenile. Don't you think I mean I didn't spend all this money on industrial materials to have it covered with clouds and
00:47Butterflies. Well, I like to think I've captured the essence of the community in my sketch
00:51Either way murals for the patients, not you
00:56Vanessa Brent's juvenile artist
01:03Pleased to meet you. I'm sorry if I offended you I should get started on the mural

08:02Do you have pictures of any of your buildings? Yeah. Yeah. Love you
08:12This is from a few months ago, it's an apartment complex. I love the lines very mature

10:36And I don't know if this can grow into anything more than a friendship
10:42Why not
10:46Look I've already had a woman in my life with secrets and it wrecked me
10:54You're
10:55Mysterious and it's intriguing but you scared me
11:00I
11:01Need answers. I'm just living life on my own terms
11:06like
11:07Connecting or sharing your life. It doesn't feel like living. It feels like running away fair enough. It's my life
11:26Then I'll leave you to it
11:30You
11:40Wow, I
11:42Can't believe it. You've really captured the spirit of Creek Falls

12:38So you want me to stop worrying about you yes
12:43What if I want to spend more time with you well we can keep having fun together and work on my list
12:48You
12:55Well, I did get a peek at that list and there is something special I think I could help with
13:01Why don't I pick you up after lunch we take the afternoon off sounds like a plan
13:18You

13:25If being on time can be a bit of a curse, but today it's working for me
13:29So are you ready to go pretty much?
13:34So what's the surprise
13:36Today I am the one with the secrets now. Are you sure you don't need a secret consultant because I have years of experience
13:43Yeah, I think I picked up a few pointers
13:46It's so I'm guessing there's a car ride in my future that is uncanny how did you do that?
13:57Are we going hiking cuz I have sails on nope
14:05Okay now do I get to see this surprise patience is a virtue feels like luxury
14:15Oh
14:28Look
14:46Oh
14:49When I was a little girl my grandma told me that butterflies only live for a day
14:54You know some butterflies actually live for weeks even months
15:01And monarch butterflies go on these incredible journeys they migrate for thousands of miles that kind of sounds like my journey
15:10Well, I'm just glad that your journey brought you here
15:15Oh
15:30So do you have any more fun facts about butterflies mr. Science I do actually
15:36Did you know that butterflies are cold-blooded they need to bask in the Sun in order to be able to fly
15:46I've worked here for a few summers
15:49Helped pay my way through college. That's nice
15:53Yeah, I felt like I was on this path I thought everyone had to be on you know college
15:59Career get married start a family of my own
16:04Thank you I
16:06Did not see this big break in the road
16:09Sounds like you were blindsided
16:11Maybe
16:13Maybe I was just paying too much attention to the road ahead
16:17So focused on checking boxes. I never
16:21engaged with my life
16:24The divorce has sort of forced me to pay attention
16:30And are you paying attention now
16:34You sure I am
16:42Now I would like to share with you one of my very favorite things
16:52This is a peanut butter and mayo sandwich
16:56Mayo mm-hmm. I know a little cookie Nate Dalton. I prefer fun loving

17:17I'm into this when I was eight. No you did not really it caused a stir in my school
17:28Shooting star make wish
17:31Let me guess you wish to finish your list
17:37What do you wish for for you to be okay?
17:45Should it be okay? Are you okay? I'm okay. I told you I can take care of myself
17:50I
17:52Should it be okay? Are you okay? I'm okay. I told you I can take care of myself
18:02I just don't think it concerns you
18:10I wanted to concern me

19:04So what's next
19:06Riding wild stallions bareback. What else is on the list hmm?
19:11There's rock climbing. I know a good place for rocks. We'd go tomorrow Saturday. I'm not working. I should probably keep working on the mural
19:20But thank you for a truly a special day. I loved every minute of it
19:27Yeah, I will see you for breakfast in the dining room. I will do my best to convince you to spend the whole day with me
19:34Sound good
19:41You
19:49What do you think can we trust him I
19:54Like him too
19:57Maybe just maybe we can cross the last two items on the list
20:04Maybe
20:11I
20:14Smells good. No early risers. They'll be down in a few minutes
20:19How was the social any good gossip this week?
20:22Hey is Arthur Goodman still doing the thing with the suspenders and the belt
20:25Don't make fun of Arthur Goodman. There's nothing wrong with making sure your pants don't fall
20:32sit I
20:34Had a nice visit with Joyce
20:37Her nephew is coming to visit next month of course he is and all my friends want to know how your children's ward is
20:45Coming along well. It isn't exactly mine
20:48But you can tell them that I'm drafting the last couple of changes. They're going in for approvals
20:53We're nearly done. It's all pretty positive
20:56Great, that's what I assumed
20:59And how are you and Vanessa?
21:04I'm your mother. I see the way you two look at each other. She's a lovely person share
21:12well
21:15The mural is gorgeous. It's perfect for the kids
21:20She's she really seems to care you can tell it with every brushstroke the way she teaches the children
21:30So this is a relationship then
21:34I don't know
21:36she's very private I
21:39Saw her covering up some bandages from some blood tests
21:43I I don't know what's going on with her
21:46But she doesn't want to tell me and I can't have another relationship filled with secrets not after Taylor
21:52Vanessa isn't like that you two are good for each other you lift each other up
21:57Maybe but what if you need to let yourself heal from Taylor?
22:02And know that you and Vanessa are a completely different kind of couple
22:07Wish people would stop bringing up Taylor
22:10Who's bringing up Taylor?
22:13At the social
22:16Sweetheart, I don't know how to say this except to say it
22:22Joyce heard that Taylor's pregnant
22:26Taylor
22:28my Taylor my
22:30My ex Taylor that Taylor yes
22:36Nate
22:38Breathe honey. Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine. I
22:42Know how much you loved her you stuck it out for so many years. Yeah, I did I
22:49Yeah, I thought we were till death do we part I I thought we wanted to have children together I
22:57Guess she just didn't want to have children with me
23:03You know sometimes things happen for a reason it's only been a few months. She's already pregnant with somebody's baby
23:10Yeah, I would have made a great father, and you will be when the time is right exactly never
23:18I
23:22Can't do this what Nate
23:26Nate
23:29He's angry with someone else not with you
23:32Not one day has gone by in these last few weeks that Nate hasn't smiled from ear to ear because of you
23:38There is no way no there is every way you wouldn't want this
23:48I don't blame
23:56Oh
24:03Sam
24:09I
24:11Done it all
24:12I've done silly things on your list. I
24:16have done
24:18the dangerous things on the list
24:20The last two Sam to love and
24:24Be loved and to get married. I don't know. I have opened up my heart
24:34You know how hard it is for me to do that, but I really try
24:41The last two things in the list, I don't know if I have it in me it's just
24:46I have it in me. It's just I don't know
25:01I'm losing faith
25:04I fought so hard
25:08I've done all the treatments
25:12And I've poured in my heart on countless murals across the country
25:17I painted you in them as an angel
25:21Because I felt you with me
25:28I'm tired. I am tired to the bone. I just
25:35I just need to rest
25:37Please I just
25:39I need to
25:40need to rest
25:46You
26:04You have knocked it out the park Vanessa
26:09This mural is ten times more amazing than I thought it would be I
26:13Can't wait to share this with everyone at the opening gala
26:16Thanks Wallace
26:20So
26:22You think you'll finish in time I always do
26:27Excellent
26:29Just seal the deal to remodel a hospital in Vermont and they asked if you'd be interested in painting a mural for them
26:36I
26:44Love the state of Vermont and I've always wanted to work in a project there ice cream
26:52Well, they'll find your place to live and they got a good budget great where I get the more I can give back
26:57I
27:02Understand supporting the cause and everything but
27:05Can I ask?
27:07How you living you need money to live too, right? I
27:12Have my own means
27:15And art raises the spirits no matter how dire your situation I
27:20Focus on serene colors so that the kids that come in here can feel comfort and light
27:27They need to feel the peace and the hope that I can inspire I
27:32Want my art to make you feel better without you even knowing why I
27:39Should stop chatting and keep painting if I'm gonna finish this on time for the gala
27:44I'm not the Vermont Hospital. No, you agreed to do them here. Thanks Wallace
27:52They'll be over the moon
27:58You
28:00Climbing is such a workout. I'm feeling muscles. I never even know I had
28:04There's a real color in your cheeks. I'm glad to see my son's absence isn't a drain on you
28:13It's hurting me more than I want to admit Iris I
28:17Can't wallow in it. I have to finish the mural in time for the gala. Will you stay after the gala? I
28:23Don't think so. I got a job in Vermont
28:27I'll be painting the mural the hospital there
28:30Wallace is project manager
28:32You're moving to Vermont. Mm-hmm
28:35All the fresh air and the fresh dairy. It'll be fun all good points, but
28:42Will you tell Nate?
28:44Well, he's not exactly around to tell I
28:47Haven't seen him. Have you?
28:49His boss called him back on a project up in Boston. It was erupting like a volcano
28:55Family's been spending too much time here and the other projects suffered
29:02I'm glad he's getting his priorities in order
29:06You are exactly what he needs right now
29:09If he had said that himself, I'd be inclined to believe it
29:13Please talk to him Vanessa
29:19I'm gonna miss you. I miss I
29:21I should go. I'll talk to you later
29:34Yeah, so he just
29:36Left for Boston. So I can't believe he just left. Well, his boss needed him back on a project apparently sure his work
29:45He came back for the weekend right you didn't hear me Nate left period
29:51I
29:54Here you go, buddy, sorry, I dropped it that's okay. I noticed you were putting a lot of work into your painting today. I
30:03Like seeing that kind of effort I
30:05Hope to be as good as you wanted
30:08well, I
30:09Think that you can do whatever you set your mind to Reese
30:15I'm waiting
30:17Waiting for what?
30:19For you to say that you'll fight for him. I have done enough fighting for my life in in my life
30:25Kind of over it, but I saw the way he looked at you the other day when he dropped by and he barely knew you
30:30then
30:31Well, you at least just tell him about you move to Vermont. I
30:35Don't want you to leave Vanessa. Oh
30:39Sophia you have so many great friends here lifelong friends. They'll always have your back
30:47But who will have your back
30:52Samantha always Samantha. Who's Samantha?
30:59She's someone who loved me I was always there
31:12Nothing
31:18You
31:29Nothing came up on your MRI and your blood work markers look really good
31:35Looks like you're just gonna need routine blood work once a year
31:39Once a year. Oh
31:41Wow
31:43So does that mean I'm officially in remission it looks that way you're a very lucky girl I
31:49Know
31:51Every morning I wake up. I'm grateful. I'm still here
31:54Well, it's been a long journey
31:56But you beat the odds and your diligence with the drug regime is really paid off
32:01So no more pills
32:03No more pills. There's no more side effects
32:07Thank you
32:09Yeah, good luck Vanessa go live your life to the fullest
32:18Thank you
32:26Mm-hmm lucky you are looking at a future top chef or maybe a future Nobel Peace Prize winner
32:37Future
32:40I haven't had an actual future in years
32:48Think of all the murals I can paint now and think of all the new adventures
32:53I can have I can climb mountains and I can I can see all the great art of the world
32:58I can I can sail the seven seas
33:03I'm not sure if I like sailing. Well, I'll see
33:10I'm ready for the next adventure. Lucky. I'll take that as a yes
33:31Hey, thanks for calling I was feeling a little that loose ends with myself with Nate being gone again. Yeah
33:38I'm glad we can go to the gala together. I do
33:42Life's too short to wait for anyone
33:45You know it
33:47You know, we should do what we should stay up all night and watch the sunrise
33:53Okay, but I need a favor
33:55Okay
33:57Can you teach me the tango? Can you I can teach you again? I can't mind. Oh, no. All right, we're on
34:03I
34:15Love love love love love it
34:18The colors the style the images. This is Creek Falls and you are giving hope to everyone who walks with these doors for care
34:27It's extraordinary. Thanks Carolyn. You are now appointed my number one art reviewer
34:32I'm not trying to inflate your ego. I'm truly blown away. You're gonna make me blush
34:38On another note, the kids are going to miss you terribly. I'm gonna miss them, too
34:45And I'll miss you
34:46Being friends with you has been one of the best parts about living here and there are a lot of good things about living here
34:51Oh, you're gonna make me blush
34:54I'll try to swing by and visit the kids before I go
34:57Oh
34:59Any chance you could make Creek Falls your home base
35:03you could still go and paint travel have big adventures, but just
35:08Call this place home. I love Creek Falls, but I
35:13Just have to follow my path to be open to where the road my road will take me
35:21And Nate
35:23You don't see a path that leads you back to him
35:27No
35:28Unfortunately not. He's still in Boston. I
35:32Haven't heard from him. Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. That's really unlike him
35:37It was blindsided. I
35:39Left my heart out there
35:42open
35:44I'm so confused about men now. Don't let me discourage you
35:48There are a lot of decent guys. There is someone for you
35:53You're right, I'll meet my soulmate out on the open road, that's very profound but tonight we celebrate
36:04Oh, I'm going to get us more champagne, thank you
36:12Vanessa Wallace, you'd be pleased to know that all your laboring is paid off. Everyone loves the mural
36:22Should be proud. Thank you. I am really proud of my work
36:27But I'm also really proud to be a part of this journey
36:32It's quite an amazing journey
36:34Yeah, I'm very grateful
36:45Can't you dance I would love to dance
36:47You
36:51Know you still owe me that tank. I do I do. Yeah, you do. You're a very good dancer. Thank you
37:00Me Nate
37:10Hey, it was Nate
37:18Excuse me
37:21The mural is spectacular
37:24Congratulations, thanks
37:30There's a signature angel
37:34She's always there when someone needs strength
37:37You
37:46The work is so famous, why don't you just sign it with your own name? I
37:51Don't paint murals and hospitals for attention needs. I don't do it for money. I
37:57I do it to comfort the patients and their families and caregivers
38:01To give them hope when there's darkness
38:04To remind them that they're loved and they're not alone
38:16So you're leaving tomorrow
38:27I'm gonna go find her. No, please listen. I
38:31I
38:32Know I don't deserve it after my little vanishing
38:36I would love the opportunity to give you an explanation
38:47Okay
38:55When I found out Taylor was pregnant
38:58It really messed me up
39:04I had been wanting a family for so long and she had been resistant to that idea
39:13And I realized now that she just didn't want to have a family with me
39:23I had to come to terms with that
39:27I wasn't the right person for her
39:30But more importantly she wasn't the right person for me either
39:36Vanessa you you have opened me up to living life fully and
39:43My life doesn't feel full without you in it
39:48You are my person Vanessa
39:53Look I hear you
39:58I
39:59Just don't think I'm that important to you
40:03Mean I let you in and you just left without an explanation. You just left me here. I made a mistake. I understand that I
40:10Was just so confused about the list and the pills, but while I was away I
40:16Came to understand that it doesn't matter how much time we have
40:21Just so we get to spend it together
40:27Time is so precious I
40:35Just don't know if I want to invest it in someone who's broken my trust
40:46I'm sorry
40:57You
41:01It's open
41:09Hey, Vanessa mind if I come in well you know the place so sure
41:27Can we sit
41:51So
41:53So is it quite a big mural that you're you're painting in in Vermont
42:00Very big
42:04Sounds tough
42:13How you been
42:16Fine my mom mentioned that you gotten some news
42:24Yeah, some really good news
42:27You just won't let me in
42:34I can see how from your perspective that seems true
42:42But I was only trying to protect myself
42:45And Samantha
42:48Who is Samantha I've heard you mentioned her was she your grandmother
42:56No, she's not my grandmother
43:03She's my guardian angel
43:06And I'm her life
43:10It's okay, it's okay
43:13I
43:16Miss you so much
43:20It's okay
43:26She knew her disease was incurable and yet she spent
43:31All her strength trying to help me
43:35That's the strength I see in you every day
43:39That's the life that we see in your murals
43:44After
43:47After she died I
43:49Started to get better and I went into remission your pills. I
43:56Thought that that you were dying and that's what you couldn't share with me
44:01The pills were to help me rebuild my immune system after years of treatments I
44:08Was in remission, but the doctors weren't ready to give me a clean both house
44:14That's that's the news I got yesterday
44:20And I wasn't here to share that with you
44:25I'm so sorry
44:30There's something else that I haven't shared
44:36When we first met I couldn't place where I'd seen your artwork before I
44:42I went online and did some searching but none of it really connected
44:50Then at the gala I saw your mural and it clicked
44:59My father was at a hospital in Delaware
45:04He did a mural there
45:07Must have been one of your first
45:10He mentioned it several times and I remember wheeling him back to his ward one time
45:17He pointed out the angel in the mural
45:21Your angel gave my father peace and tranquility in his final hours
45:30She gave me peace
45:33So you and I
45:35We've been close even though we'd never met
45:40I'm the painter, but Sam was always the angel
45:44Well, she brought us together. So so she's my angel, too
45:52I'm so scared. You started working through your list
45:58Closer we got the more the idea of you
46:03dying
46:05Golfed me I didn't know how to feel
46:09But now I know
46:12I know that I have fallen completely in love with you and your spirit
46:19You've changed how I look at life and how precious our moments are here
46:25Life's short. I don't want to waste any more time without you
46:31I hate I missed you so much
46:39Yeah
46:43I'm yours
46:44If you'll have me
46:46Having you here right now
46:49Hearing what you're saying
46:50It's giving me more strength than you could possibly imagine
46:55But
46:57Don't disappear
47:01Promise I didn't mean to run away on you. That was just about my past
47:06And letting go of old dreams so that I can restart and make new ones
47:13To look forward to the future
47:18Yeah future
47:25Sam wrote the bucket list
47:30All the items on the list are things that she went for me
47:34I might feel sad doing them because she she never could she wouldn't want you to feel sad
47:44It's especially the last two to fall in love and
47:50get married
47:52they break me because
47:55She never got to meet her person never got to feel the way I feel about you
48:03But she'd want you to feel that
48:07Yeah, she would
48:24Love your laugh and your smile and your arts and your passion
48:34So
48:39Maybe we could
48:42Make Creek Falls our home base
48:45You could travel for your projects. I could travel for my projects and
48:51We could get started on a combined list
48:55What?
48:58Number one. Oh, it's like this one's just for me
49:01Find the most beautiful girl in the world
49:10And propose to her
49:22Will you marry me?
49:30I want to spend the rest of my life with you
49:34Living our very own list
49:39I think Samantha would like that. I think she would love that

50:18Cold and taste I won't forget lights will hold you as you rest
