00:00:00I've never been to Lake Tahoe before.
00:00:11You'll love it.
00:00:15This is your family's summer home?
00:00:17Yeah, it was my grandparents' place and they willed it to my parents.
00:00:21We'd spend every summer here growing up.
00:00:24I loved it.
00:00:26My parents renovated it a couple years ago.
00:00:28But no one lives here right now.
00:00:29Every year round, I called my mom and she said we could come and dust it off.
00:00:39Feel free to call me to dust this place off anytime.
00:00:41I know.
00:00:42I barely recognize it.
00:00:45I don't think I've been here since before my freshman year in college.
00:00:49Wow, has it been that long?
00:00:51Do your parents come here often?
00:00:53Uh, not as much as they used to.
00:00:55I think they rent it out here and there.
00:00:58Hey, uh, who's that?
00:01:03Uh, I don't know.
00:01:09No one else should be here.
00:01:11Maybe he's the gardener.
00:01:15Uh, excuse me, can I ask what...
00:01:21Riley?
00:01:22Eden.
00:01:24Eden?
00:01:25So, not the gardener.
00:01:30It's great to see you.
00:01:33Yeah, you too.
00:01:35I wasn't expecting you here.
00:01:37Well, I noticed there was a problem with one of the sprinkler lines and wasn't getting
00:01:41enough water to the area, so I thought I'd come over and see if I could fix it.
00:01:44Well, that's nice of you.
00:01:46Thanks.
00:01:47Uh, hi, I'm Kate, Eden's friend.
00:01:49Hi, Riley.
00:01:50Yeah, Riley's parents own the cabin next door, so we would see each other every summer.
00:01:55So, uh, what brings you here?
00:01:58Uh, well, I needed a break.
00:02:01You don't understand our product.
00:02:03We won't be using this.
00:02:05Are you firing me?
00:02:07No, no, I just...
00:02:10I want you to take a break, though.
00:02:13Take a week or two off, recharge, figure out what you need, and then come back fired up.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22Uh, what about you?
00:02:24Uh, you're living here?
00:02:26Uh, well, Dad got tired of the winters, so he moved to Arizona.
00:02:30And I took over the cabin and started a business.
00:02:33That's great.
00:02:34Uh, what kind of business?
00:02:36Hot air balloons.
00:02:37You sell them?
00:02:39No, no, I, uh, do hot air balloon rides around here.
00:02:43Oh, that's certainly different.
00:02:45It's a work in progress.
00:02:47I'll let you get settled.
00:02:49It was great to see you.
00:02:51Yeah, you too.
00:02:52It was nice to meet you, Kate.
00:02:54And, uh, sorry about the, uh...
00:02:56Oh, no, that's fine.
00:02:57Thank you for doing that.
00:02:58No problem.
00:02:59I'll just be a few more minutes here with the...
00:03:02Thanks.
00:03:03Yeah, well, I'll see you around.
00:03:05Yeah.
00:03:06Okay.
00:03:09See ya.
00:03:11So, Riley seems nice.
00:03:13Did you see him a lot here?
00:03:14I did.
00:03:15I don't even remember how we became friends.
00:03:19I think it was convenience.
00:03:21He was next door when we came here in the summer,
00:03:23and he became my default friend.
00:03:25Only a friend?
00:03:26Yeah, why do you ask?
00:03:28Just a vibe I got.
00:03:36It's Michael.
00:03:37Hi!
00:03:38Hey!
00:03:39Did you and Kate make it all right?
00:03:40We did.
00:03:41Hi, Michael.
00:03:42Hi.
00:03:43So, how is it?
00:03:44Uh, so far, so good.
00:03:46Good.
00:03:47Hey, I hate to ask you so soon,
00:03:48but when do you think you're coming back?
00:03:50Oh, miss me already?
00:03:52I certainly do.
00:04:18The water is gorgeous.
00:04:20Isn't it?
00:04:21Lucky you.
00:04:22I come in here each year.
00:04:24I'm surprised you stayed away.
00:04:26Well, it wasn't on purpose.
00:04:27Just work, life, you know.
00:04:30How are you feeling about work?
00:04:32Uh, conflicted.
00:04:33How so?
00:04:34Uh, part of me feels...
00:04:37What's the word?
00:04:38Annoyed that they're questioning my work?
00:04:41And the other part?
00:04:43Uh, I know it wasn't my best work.
00:04:47Lately, I care, but I don't enjoy it.
00:04:51I don't know.
00:04:52Maybe I'm...
00:04:53Maybe I'm relieved.
00:04:54I thought you liked it there.
00:04:56I don't know.
00:04:57I didn't even really think about it
00:05:00until Reese benched me.
00:05:01Well, it'll be fine when you get back
00:05:04after you have had time to recharge.
00:05:06That's not my decision.
00:05:08Reese seems supportive about me coming back,
00:05:11but only if I'm back on my game.
00:05:14Ugh.
00:05:16Sometimes I wonder what else I could have tried.
00:05:20I don't know.
00:05:21Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
00:05:23Why can't work just be work?
00:05:25Well, it depends on what you want from it.
00:05:27You know, a simple paycheck,
00:05:29or do you want some fulfillment?
00:05:31That's the real question, isn't it?
00:05:34Come on. Let's go try the water.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:40This was my favorite hangout spot in town.
00:05:43I'd always get the milkshake.
00:05:45That sounds really good right now.
00:05:47Yeah.
00:05:48Hello.
00:05:49Mr. Weber.
00:05:51There's a familiar face.
00:05:53Eden Clark.
00:05:54That's right.
00:05:55You're finally back.
00:05:56Well, just for a little bit.
00:05:58Who's this?
00:05:59This is Kate.
00:06:00I'm showing her Tahoe,
00:06:01and I was just telling her
00:06:02that this was my favorite place.
00:06:04Well, thank you.
00:06:05It's a pleasure to meet you, Kate.
00:06:07You too.
00:06:08Go ahead and order something.
00:06:10Of course, I know what she likes.
00:06:12Chocolate brownie milkshake.
00:06:13Oh, that's because of the homemade brownies
00:06:15you put in it.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:17And how about you, Kate?
00:06:18Um, I'll try your cookie dough shake.
00:06:22Mmm.
00:06:23Ah, sensible choice.
00:06:25You know, Eden, I hope you stick around this time.
00:06:28I'm starting to miss all the old-timers.
00:06:31I've become a rare breed.
00:06:34Well, I'll try to come often while I'm here.
00:06:37I'm going to hold you to that.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:40Why don't you go ahead and go in there and have a seat,
00:06:43and I'll bring your order out.
00:06:44Okay.
00:06:45Okay?
00:06:47Thanks.
00:06:53Finding everything you need?
00:06:55Mm-hmm.
00:06:57I thought you didn't like salad.
00:06:59Ah, well, that's when I was 12.
00:07:01It's not so bad now.
00:07:03Ah, I see.
00:07:04You, uh, still love bananas?
00:07:06Allergic now.
00:07:07No.
00:07:08Yeah, it was a sad day when I had to give those up.
00:07:10Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:12You know, I was surprised that you're still living here.
00:07:15I'd have thought when you were old enough,
00:07:17you'd leave and conquer the world.
00:07:19Well, in fairness, I did leave
00:07:21and try a slice of life somewhere else,
00:07:23but then I came back.
00:07:25Well, I'm happy to see you again.
00:07:28Uh, how long are you in town?
00:07:31A few weeks.
00:07:32It's a bit fluid.
00:07:34Right, so you'll, uh, relax, read a book,
00:07:37swim, shop.
00:07:39That all sounds perfect.
00:07:41Oh, and hiking.
00:07:43You know what you have to do while you're here?
00:07:45What?
00:07:46You gotta go to our spot.
00:07:47Our spot?
00:07:48The overlook.
00:07:50Oh.
00:07:52We should go together.
00:07:54And you can show your friend, too.
00:07:56I'm sure she'd love it.
00:07:57What do you think?
00:07:59Let's do it.
00:08:03So what's so special about this overlook?
00:08:05Well, uh, we'd go there every summer.
00:08:08It was tradition.
00:08:10We? You and...
00:08:11Riley and me.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:14So you'd just hike there?
00:08:16It's a really pretty hike.
00:08:19And?
00:08:21And...
00:08:23it's where we had our first kiss.
00:08:29Wait, what?
00:08:32Eden, Kate, come on.
00:08:40Ow.
00:08:42I need to get out more.
00:08:44How are your feet?
00:08:46Forgotten.
00:08:47Worth it?
00:08:49Just as I remembered.
00:08:55So, Kate, what do you do?
00:08:57Uh, I'm a hair stylist.
00:08:59That sounds fancy.
00:09:01I cut and style hair. It's really not.
00:09:03But hot air balloons sound amazing.
00:09:05That's what you do, right?
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07That must do well here.
00:09:09I mean, what a great view of the lake, right?
00:09:12Well, it's, uh...
00:09:13You'd think, but it's been a bit of a slow start.
00:09:17You know, it's a little pricey,
00:09:18so it's difficult for the casual or budget-minded tourists.
00:09:22But it's Tahoe.
00:09:23People come here to vacation and earn cash.
00:09:26Well, people come here.
00:09:28You hike like we did and see the view.
00:09:31Maybe that's enough.
00:09:33You don't believe that, do you?
00:09:35It's a hot air balloon. It's unique.
00:09:38Yeah, well...
00:09:41I can only run tours early in the morning
00:09:43or in the early evening if I'm lucky.
00:09:45So I'm starting to think
00:09:47maybe I should get another job to live on
00:09:49while I keep this as a side job.
00:09:51Well, why don't you add more tours?
00:09:53Well, the temperature affects how well we can rise,
00:09:55and then there's the wind, which picks up throughout the day.
00:09:58That's tricky.
00:09:59Yeah.
00:10:01It is fun, though.
00:10:02You both should come see it for yourselves.
00:10:05You mean in the air?
00:10:07Yeah.
00:10:08That'd be fun.
00:10:22You gonna open your eyes at all?
00:10:24How far off the ground are we?
00:10:26Why don't you take a look for yourself?
00:10:28Just give me a number.
00:10:3025.
00:10:31Feet?
00:10:32More like yards, but it's not that high.
00:10:39You are kidding.
00:10:41There you see the lake.
00:10:43Are you, like, steering us over there?
00:10:45I'm doing my best, yeah.
00:10:47Okay, well, where's the wheel or whatever?
00:10:49This doesn't really work like that, but it's okay.
00:10:51Trust me, I'll get us there.
00:10:53Okay.
00:10:58All these years coming here, I've never seen it like this.
00:11:04I have fond memories of this place, but this?
00:11:08This is the best.
00:11:11Well, then you're gonna love this.
00:11:13Hey, Kate, hang on.
00:11:14What?
00:11:15Are we flying?
00:11:19Oh, wow.
00:11:24And this is the less impressive side of my little company.
00:11:29Here, I can help.
00:11:30Just set them down over there.
00:11:32How long have you been in business?
00:11:34Almost a year.
00:11:36What's your favorite part about it?
00:11:41Floating in the balloon just above the lake's surface.
00:11:44I don't think there's anything more peaceful.
00:11:47It's pure serenity.
00:11:49What's the worst part?
00:11:52What's the worst part?
00:12:02What?
00:12:03Well, I work in marketing, and it sounds like you need more customers.
00:12:07This experience is amazing.
00:12:09It should nearly sell itself if enough people try it out.
00:12:12But you're here on vacation.
00:12:14I could use an opportunity to sharpen up my skills.
00:12:19People can't even tell you're here.
00:12:22Well, most people just call, so I give them directions.
00:12:25But you're on Main Street, and there's lots of traffic.
00:12:27This building can be an advertisement.
00:12:30Sounds expensive.
00:12:31Well, we don't have to do anything crazy.
00:12:33This place can work for you.
00:12:36I just don't know if it'll make a difference.
00:12:38Well, what have you done, advertising-wise?
00:12:40You know, poster here and there around town.
00:12:42And I have a website, too.
00:12:44We can do more if you'll let me help.
00:12:48You sure you want to get into this?
00:12:50I want to help you.
00:12:52All right.
00:12:54Sure.
00:12:55Okay.
00:12:57Well, so much for relaxing.
00:12:59It almost pains me, though.
00:13:01I can see he can do more and make his business succeed.
00:13:05How can I ignore that?
00:13:07I guess you really do like marketing.
00:13:09I just want him to succeed.
00:13:11Okay, so how do you plan to help?
00:13:13Well, for starters...
00:13:16He could use some more photos and video on his website,
00:13:19especially of that view and the balloon launching.
00:13:22Yes, okay, can you send that to me?
00:13:24I bet we can get some social media buzz going, too,
00:13:27with some simple ads.
00:13:28I know he's nervous about spending a lot,
00:13:30but I know some easy stuff that will get the ball rolling.
00:13:34I think that's perfect.
00:13:35Are you sure?
00:13:36Yeah, yeah.
00:13:37He definitely needs a sign for his warehouse.
00:13:41It's so vital that the sun and the sky is just really good.
00:13:44Is that going to be enough, though?
00:13:49You know how you always see a gazillion tour brochures
00:13:51when you stay at a hotel?
00:13:53No, I don't travel much.
00:13:56Well, guests look through those
00:13:57and plan out activities for their stay.
00:13:59We just need to get them to see Riley's hot air taco.
00:14:12Oh, I so owe you one.
00:14:15No, you don't.
00:14:16Yes, I do.
00:14:17This is amazing.
00:14:18Well, I'm glad you like it.
00:14:20You can still make changes.
00:14:21I didn't want to put in a big order
00:14:23until you saw it in real life.
00:14:25It's perfect.
00:14:26Let's print it.
00:14:27Great.
00:14:28And then let me take you out to dinner.
00:14:30Riley, you don't have to...
00:14:32I'm serious.
00:14:33Thank you, dinner's the least I can do.
00:14:40So, you never told me
00:14:42why you're taking a break from work.
00:14:44Oh, that.
00:14:46Unless you don't want to talk about it.
00:14:48Oh, no, it's not horrible or anything,
00:14:50but my boss told me to take some time off
00:14:54so I could come back and be better at my job.
00:14:57Ouch.
00:14:58Sorry you asked.
00:14:59Well, from what I've seen, you're great at your job.
00:15:03I used to be.
00:15:05I think that this was easier
00:15:06because the stakes were more important
00:15:09than, say, selling sandals.
00:15:11Well, hot air balloons are a lot cooler than sandals,
00:15:14so I get it.
00:15:16Do you like marketing?
00:15:18I thought I did.
00:15:20You told me that flying airplanes
00:15:23lost its appeal for you.
00:15:25I guess we all change.
00:15:28Maybe.
00:15:29You haven't changed as much as I would have thought.
00:15:32No?
00:15:33No.
00:15:34I still see the same girl next door,
00:15:36the same girl that would steal my shoes off the porch
00:15:39if I left them out.
00:15:40That's because you stuffed snails in mine.
00:15:43You're always a bit mischievous.
00:15:45And you always got me back.
00:15:47I couldn't let you in.
00:15:48No, of course not.
00:15:52Do you ever wonder
00:15:54when it was that we started to grow up?
00:15:59When you stopped coming to Tahoe.
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:03And here you go.
00:16:04Oh, thank you.
00:16:06Thanks.
00:16:10Thank you for dinner.
00:16:11My pleasure.
00:16:13But I still owe you.
00:16:15Have you been by Mr. Webber's?
00:16:17Of course.
00:16:18You know, he still remembers my favorite milkshake flavor.
00:16:21Mine, too.
00:16:22Bananas Foster.
00:16:24Oh, you're allergic.
00:16:26I keep having to remind him
00:16:27so he doesn't get offended when I turn it down.
00:16:29You want to go see him?
00:16:31I'll trade your Banana Foster for my chocolate brownie
00:16:34if he unknowingly insists.
00:16:37Deal.
00:16:38Okay.
00:16:40You two have made my day.
00:16:43It's just like old times.
00:16:45You work too hard.
00:16:47Don't you have anyone to help?
00:16:49I got a couple of kids that come in
00:16:51and work a shift now and then,
00:16:53but this is my pride and joy.
00:16:55And here's your Bananas Foster.
00:16:58I'm always trying to get Mr. Webber to take a vacation.
00:17:01Vacation.
00:17:03Where would I go that's better than this?
00:17:05Seeing you two back together again.
00:17:09That's the cherry on top.
00:17:11Excuse me.
00:17:13Thanks for the milkshakes.
00:17:15Sure.
00:17:19Thanks.
00:17:20I wouldn't want you to have an allergic shock here.
00:17:23Well, it's more like I break out in hives,
00:17:25but still not fun.
00:17:28So, no more bananas,
00:17:30no more Bananas Foster,
00:17:32you're not an airline pilot.
00:17:34What else has changed?
00:17:36I'm a terrible businessman, apparently.
00:17:39You just need some marketing tips, that's all.
00:17:41That's a very nice way of putting it.
00:17:43What else has changed?
00:17:45I don't know.
00:17:47Maybe I'm the same at heart.
00:17:50Have you ever been married?
00:17:53Nope.
00:17:55Uh, nope.
00:17:56I had a girlfriend.
00:17:58A few, actually, but...
00:18:00One wanted to get married,
00:18:02and then I realized,
00:18:05well, I didn't love her, so...
00:18:10What about you?
00:18:13Never married.
00:18:19Do you remember when we used to sneak out to the lake at night?
00:18:22Yeah.
00:18:24That was the last night of our trip.
00:18:27And we'd go to the dock and lay out and watch the stars
00:18:30and talk about...
00:18:32What we wanted.
00:18:34What worried us.
00:18:36Anything that was on our minds.
00:18:38First day at school or parents fighting.
00:18:41Gossipy friends back home.
00:18:45I remember on more than one occasion,
00:18:47you wished you could stay in Tahoe forever.
00:18:51Me too.
00:18:53I miss those talks.
00:18:56Me too.
00:18:59Hey, Kate, you ready?
00:19:01Yes. Do you want me to grab you a drink?
00:19:04Oh, I just filled up my water bottle. I'm good.
00:19:06Oh, hey, how was your dinner with Riley?
00:19:08It was good.
00:19:09Kind of seemed like a date.
00:19:11No, no, it's not like that.
00:19:13No, was it ever? I mean, you said you two kissed.
00:19:16That was one time when we were, like, 17 or something.
00:19:20Okay, I just...
00:19:22I don't know. You two seemed close.
00:19:27There were a lot of summers.
00:19:29I mean, sure, we liked each other, but...
00:19:32we never dated.
00:19:34Really, it was just when we were teens and when we were younger,
00:19:37you know, playing on the swing sets and monkey bars.
00:19:40Okay, just wondering.
00:19:44Oh, it's Riley.
00:19:46Oh, what's he want?
00:19:47He wants to know what we're doing today.
00:19:49Do you want to invite him along?
00:19:52Sure, I'll text him back.
00:20:01You got sunblock on your face.
00:20:03You bet I do.
00:20:04Oh, you have a smudge of it on your cheek.
00:20:06Oh.
00:20:11Should I get that?
00:20:12No.
00:20:14I'll be right back.
00:20:20Hey, honey.
00:20:21Hi. Sorry I missed your call.
00:20:23I was on the water.
00:20:24The water, huh?
00:20:25Are you and Kate having fun?
00:20:26Yeah, we are.
00:20:28All play and no work.
00:20:30Actually, there's a little bit of work.
00:20:34I'm helping out a neighbor with promoting his business.
00:20:39Wow, good for you.
00:20:40You just don't overdo it.
00:20:42I won't.
00:20:43What's going on with you?
00:20:45Why are you and Eden so close?
00:20:47I don't know if we still are.
00:20:50We were when she was here.
00:20:52Maybe it's...
00:20:53My boss came to me today and he told me
00:20:55I'm being recognized internally at the firm.
00:20:57You so deserve that.
00:20:58Congratulations.
00:20:59Well, the annual company dinner's coming up
00:21:01and they always give out awards and whatnot.
00:21:03Well, this year, I get one, along with a nice little bonus.
00:21:06That's amazing.
00:21:08The dinner's at the end of next week.
00:21:10Do you think you can make it?
00:21:12Of course.
00:21:13You and Kate will be back from your trip by then?
00:21:15I'll make sure we are.
00:21:17I'm so proud of you.
00:21:19Thanks.
00:21:20I miss you.
00:21:21I miss you, too.
00:21:23All right, have fun at the lake.
00:21:25I will.
00:21:26Bye.
00:21:27Bye.
00:21:33So, Raffy's nice.
00:21:35Yeah.
00:21:37As he did to me.
00:21:39Yeah.
00:21:41Is he dating anyone?
00:21:43Nobody mentioned.
00:21:45Does he know you're dating Michael?
00:21:47Uh, he...
00:21:49It doesn't matter. We're just friends.
00:21:52So, it's...
00:21:53Your relationship's just simple nostalgia?
00:21:55Mm-hmm.
00:21:58What's Michael, then?
00:22:01He's wonderful, supportive, grown-up.
00:22:06Don't you think?
00:22:07Yeah, yeah, I agree.
00:22:11Then, what's the problem?
00:22:13Nothing.
00:22:16Okay, let's just enjoy the trip here.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:23So, your feelings for Michael aren't changing?
00:22:28Correct.
00:22:29And your feelings for Riley?
00:22:38Here, this is a good one.
00:22:40Thanks.
00:22:41Enjoy.
00:22:48Thanks for letting me put this up.
00:22:50Yeah.
00:22:51Have a nice day.
00:22:52You, too.
00:23:07Bye.
00:23:24You beat me here.
00:23:25Well, I figured Mr. Weber would be very supportive.
00:23:28He says you owe him.
00:23:30So, you finished, then?
00:23:31Yep. You?
00:23:32Pretty much.
00:23:33I wonder how long it's gonna take for us to see if this is working.
00:23:36I do have some online ads scheduled to start running.
00:23:38I should probably check on those stats.
00:23:40Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. It'll be fine.
00:23:42I haven't been this anxious about an ad campaign's performance in a long time.
00:23:46I doubt that.
00:23:47I'm serious. I want this to go well for you.
00:23:50Well, relax. The rest is out of your hands.
00:23:55In fact, maybe it's time you stopped thinking about work.
00:24:00Any work.
00:24:02How?
00:24:06Nothing.
00:24:16Oh, just like old times.
00:24:19Yep.
00:24:25I love the sunset over the lake.
00:24:27Yeah, don't get that back home, huh?
00:24:29No.
00:24:31Sometimes I come down here by myself, but it's not the same.
00:24:36It's probably quieter.
00:24:38Well, quiet's overrated.
00:24:41Never gets this quiet back home.
00:24:44You could always come back here.
00:24:47I guess so.
00:24:49I should come back here more often.
00:24:52I've missed this.
00:24:53Me too.
00:24:56Did you ever think about the last time you were here?
00:24:59Yeah.
00:25:01We went on that gondola?
00:25:03Yeah.
00:25:04I remember. My stomach didn't like it.
00:25:07Yeah, I was worried about that with the hot air balloon ride.
00:25:10I wasn't sure if it was a heights thing.
00:25:13It was more of a rockin' back and forth thing.
00:25:16Oh.
00:25:18And then afterwards we went on that hike.
00:25:20To our favorite spot.
00:25:23It was overcast that day, but I was determined to go.
00:25:28Really wanted to see how you felt about me.
00:25:32We kissed.
00:25:35I thought about that for a while.
00:25:39Me too.
00:25:41And then I went home and I wrote you a letter.
00:25:46You did?
00:25:47Yeah. Well, I never sent it.
00:25:51But I thought about you.
00:25:53What did the letter say?
00:25:54Oh, you know.
00:25:56Come on, tell me.
00:25:58Uh, I wrote that I wish that I lived here and not so far away.
00:26:08So that I could see you more.
00:26:12And that I missed you.
00:26:18I've missed you too.
00:26:21And I've wished every time I've come out onto this dock that I could see you more often.
00:26:28You know?
00:26:39You kissed him?
00:26:40Does that make me a horrible person?
00:26:42No, of course not, but you do need to come clean.
00:26:46What? Why?
00:26:48Because he deserves to know.
00:26:51Do you mean Riley or Michael?
00:26:53Both.
00:26:55Yes, we kissed.
00:26:57It's a spur of the moment thing. I'm with Michael and Riley is...
00:27:01What? What is he?
00:27:04A nice memory.
00:27:06It can't lead anywhere.
00:27:08Do you want it to?
00:27:11Okay, look. You're all conflicted about should you have or should you not have kissed him.
00:27:16But the fact is you did.
00:27:18You don't know what you want.
00:27:20I didn't say that.
00:27:21That's fine, but you can't move forward unless you let go of Riley or Michael.
00:27:28I...
00:27:30I don't have anything figured out and I'm more confused than when I got here
00:27:34and I still don't know what's going on with my job and I...
00:27:38I'm a mess.
00:27:39No, you're not.
00:27:41But if you don't figure it out, you will be.
00:27:45Hey.
00:27:46Oh, hey, Mr. Weber called for you.
00:27:48He did?
00:27:49Yeah, he said it was an urgent freezer emergency and he was calling in a favor.
00:27:52I've got things here under control if you want to go and see him.
00:27:57All right.
00:28:00Have you seen much of your neighbor lately?
00:28:03We've been spending some time together.
00:28:06You ought to take her on a proper date.
00:28:09I mean, all I hear is people hanging out together.
00:28:13And I never knew where that saying came from.
00:28:16It's like a bunch of monkeys hanging from a tree.
00:28:20Well, it's less risky that way.
00:28:24Nothing risked, nothing gained.
00:28:27I always thought you two suited.
00:28:29Well, we never really took that step.
00:28:31Our lives went in different directions.
00:28:34And ended up right back here.
00:28:36Well, for now, it's temporary.
00:28:38Well, I suppose you don't want it to be temporary, do you?
00:28:43You better get with it.
00:28:48You fixed it!
00:28:50Is that what it usually sounds like?
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:53Okay, then.
00:28:56Reese, what do you want on my forced time off?
00:29:03I hope you're enjoying your break.
00:29:05Could use your perspective on a project when you get a moment.
00:29:08Looking forward to having you back.
00:29:13Okay.
00:29:22Eden, hi!
00:29:23Hi!
00:29:24Am I interrupting?
00:29:26I have a few minutes. How are you?
00:29:28I'm okay.
00:29:31Uh-oh.
00:29:33I guess it's good.
00:29:35Reese just emailed me.
00:29:37Sounds like he wants me back.
00:29:39Fantastic!
00:29:40Yeah!
00:29:41So, are you coming back sooner?
00:29:43I'm trying to decide.
00:29:46It's been nice out here.
00:29:48Oh, I bet. Todd House sounds like a great place.
00:29:51Hey, I say take whatever time you need.
00:29:54Oh, but don't forget about my company dinner.
00:29:56Right.
00:29:58No problem.
00:29:59I'll be back for it.
00:30:01Thanks.
00:30:02Hey, and great news about Reese. I knew it would all work out.
00:30:04Yeah.
00:30:05It's good.
00:30:06I'll talk to you later.
00:30:08Thanks for calling.
00:30:09Okay, bye.
00:30:10Bye.
00:30:14I need to get out.
00:30:23Thanks for coming with me.
00:30:25Happy to.
00:30:27I don't know when my parents got these.
00:30:29This wasn't really a thing when we were kids.
00:30:31You're making us sound old.
00:30:33Well, I thought it was neat, and I figured we're here, so might as well try it.
00:30:36Well, I'm glad you called me.
00:30:38I think once you try this, you're going to get addicted.
00:30:40You're never going to want to go home.
00:30:42Speaking of home, I got an email from my boss today.
00:30:46And?
00:30:48Well, he wanted my input on some things.
00:30:52Isn't that good?
00:30:54Yeah, I guess it is good.
00:30:57It's good to be missed.
00:30:59I'm finding I don't miss it at all.
00:31:02Maybe you should consider a career change.
00:31:05That's too scary.
00:31:07So could you.
00:31:09We're still flying.
00:31:11You could still market.
00:31:13But is that what you want to do?
00:31:16It's not that I don't like marketing.
00:31:20There's a thrill in it sometimes.
00:31:22Like a pride in it.
00:31:25How so?
00:31:26When I figure out the best way to make something great.
00:31:30Like a puzzle that I put together.
00:31:33You do like marketing.
00:31:35I think I miss it.
00:31:37So what's wrong?
00:31:38Is it what you're working on?
00:31:41I think it's easier to work on something you believe in.
00:31:45That could be it.
00:31:47Well, the way I see it, you have three options.
00:31:53I do?
00:31:54Yeah.
00:31:55First one, go back to your old unexciting job.
00:32:00Next option, please.
00:32:02Second, come work for me as a poorly paid marketer.
00:32:07Hey, I'm all for you sticking around.
00:32:11Can't blame you for trying.
00:32:14The third option?
00:32:16Do nothing.
00:32:18Just take your time.
00:32:20You don't have to make a decision now or even next week.
00:32:24I do have to make a choice eventually.
00:32:27But when you're ready.
00:32:29Maybe after you've even had time to discover some new options.
00:32:35You know, if this hot air balloon thing doesn't work,
00:32:38you could be a career advisor.
00:32:42Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
00:32:44Should we do this?
00:32:45Yep.
00:32:51Okay, I think I got this.
00:32:55Oh.
00:32:57Now use your to move yourself around.
00:33:05This is cool.
00:33:06Right?
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:10So what's your secret?
00:33:12Trust yourself.
00:33:13Gee, thanks.
00:33:16And tighten your stomach.
00:33:17Supposedly it helps with balance.
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:24So let me guess, you do this every weekend?
00:33:26No.
00:33:27Every other weekend.
00:33:38Hey.
00:33:40What are you doing out here?
00:33:42Nothing.
00:33:44Really?
00:33:46I'm just thinking.
00:33:48About?
00:33:50If I tell you, you're just going to lecture me.
00:33:53I don't do that.
00:33:57Okay, seriously.
00:33:58I won't do that.
00:33:59I promise.
00:34:03Riley kind of insinuated that he wants me to stay here.
00:34:09Wow.
00:34:10Gutsy.
00:34:13Is that even tempting?
00:34:17It is.
00:34:20It shouldn't be though, right?
00:34:22With back home and a job, sort of.
00:34:26What he's saying is a huge change.
00:34:30And not just for job and home, but relationship wise too.
00:34:34I know.
00:34:36It's crazy and Michael is.
00:34:38Amazing, supportive, stable.
00:34:41Exactly.
00:34:44Why would I let that go?
00:34:47Riley, I just need to put this aside and enjoy the rest of my time here.
00:34:53It sounds like good advice.
00:34:56But you still need to be careful not to hurt one of them.
00:35:00Or yourself.
00:35:02Okay?
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:11And the cards expiration date?
00:35:14All right, you're all set for Monday.
00:35:15Party of five.
00:35:17Sure thing.
00:35:18All right, I'll see you then.
00:35:20Party of five?
00:35:22The phone has not stopped ringing all morning.
00:35:24We have every single day booked for the next two weeks.
00:35:26Are you serious?
00:35:28That's amazing.
00:35:29Your friend has really got things rolling here.
00:35:32I'm going to go get things prepped for tomorrow's tour.
00:35:40Hot Air Tahoe, can I help you?
00:35:47So, guess how many calls I got?
00:35:49How many?
00:35:5033.
00:35:52No, actually it was more than that.
00:35:53I lost count.
00:35:54I haven't had to answer the phone that often ever.
00:35:57But are people booking?
00:35:58Yeah, that's the crazy thing.
00:36:00I'm starting to wonder if we need to raise prices.
00:36:02You probably could, but maybe wait a bit.
00:36:05I don't want this to be an initial rush with no continued traffic from customers.
00:36:09Look at you, talking all business.
00:36:12So, what are you working on?
00:36:14Web ads.
00:36:16What do you think?
00:36:18It looks...
00:36:20What?
00:36:22Legitimate.
00:36:24Well, good, because you are.
00:36:26I feel professional.
00:36:27I'm not even doing any work.
00:36:28You are.
00:36:29And I'm going to give you options.
00:36:31That way you don't have to use the same ad all the time.
00:36:34What for?
00:36:35To change it up for seasons, holidays, stuff like that.
00:36:38Got it.
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:42And there you go.
00:36:45I don't know what I'm going to do without you.
00:36:47Oh, I think you'll do fine.
00:36:49I'd rather not find out.
00:36:53Any chance you'll stay?
00:36:57You can get anyone to help you with this.
00:37:00And don't worry, it's not like your business will lose out.
00:37:03Well, it's not my business I'm worried about losing.
00:37:12Um, so what are your plans for the rest of your stay?
00:37:18Just a few more things to load up and it should be all set.
00:37:21Great.
00:37:22I've got to get to bed early.
00:37:24I've been used to sleeping in.
00:37:25I'd say I'm sorry, but no sleep means working a paycheck.
00:37:28I'll take it.
00:37:30Oh, um, Eden mentioned we should do something to encourage customers to leave reviews.
00:37:36Yeah, like a follow-up email or something?
00:37:39Or we could give away a free t-shirt for every good review.
00:37:43I don't think bribery is the way to go.
00:37:45Uh, I'll have to ask for some ideas on that.
00:37:48Well, is she saying?
00:37:49Well, I'd like her to, but...
00:37:51But what?
00:37:53Well, too early to tell.
00:37:56Are you two dating?
00:37:59Too early to tell.
00:38:01All right, well, sounds like you've got a lot to clear up.
00:38:03I'm just going to finish loading up.
00:38:05All right, thanks, Spencer.
00:38:11These are beautiful.
00:38:17There you go.
00:38:18Great.
00:38:22This is just about done.
00:38:24Oh, I'll get it.
00:38:35Michael!
00:38:36Eden.
00:38:43So I was thinking about your call and seeing you and about Tahoe, and it dawned on me, why not come for the weekend at least?
00:38:49I'm glad to see you.
00:38:53Riley!
00:38:56Michael!
00:38:57Oh, hi, Kate.
00:39:01Uh, Riley.
00:39:03Uh, this is Michael, my boyfriend.
00:39:07Hi.
00:39:11Good to meet you.
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13Nice flowers.
00:39:14Oh, yeah, they're for, uh, Eden.
00:39:17And Kate, as a thank you for her help with my business.
00:39:20Oh, you're the neighbor that Eden's been helping out.
00:39:23Uh, I guess so.
00:39:25Uh, you didn't have to do that.
00:39:27Oh, I know, but...
00:39:31Yeah.
00:39:33Um, dinner's ready.
00:39:35Oh, great.
00:39:36I'm starving.
00:39:38Oh, nice tan.
00:39:39Thanks.
00:39:43I just wanted to drop those off.
00:39:45Riley, I didn't know that...
00:39:47The response to the flyers and everything has been great.
00:39:50We've been getting a lot of business, so thank you.
00:39:54Riley.
00:39:58You have company.
00:40:01Good night, Eden.
00:40:04Night.
00:40:13Ah.
00:40:17These look great.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:19Oh, I got another plate.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:25Is everything all right?
00:40:27Sure.
00:40:28Yeah.
00:40:29Okay, good.
00:40:34So, are you having fun down here?
00:40:36Yeah, it's been great.
00:40:39Riley, the views are amazing.
00:40:41Yeah, they're quite nice.
00:40:47Ah.
00:41:01Uh, you know what?
00:41:02I'll be right back.
00:41:03Okay.
00:41:10You were right.
00:41:12I'm sorry.
00:41:14I don't like being right.
00:41:16At least not with this.
00:41:18Should I tell Michael about Riley?
00:41:20Um, I think you could.
00:41:24I don't want to hurt him, too.
00:41:27I think he would understand.
00:41:31It's more urgent you talk to Riley.
00:41:47I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Michael.
00:41:50I didn't mean to keep it from you.
00:41:59I have no right to be upset.
00:42:02It's your life.
00:42:05We're just old friends.
00:42:08You're more than that.
00:42:10But not enough.
00:42:12That's not true.
00:42:15Isn't it?
00:42:18But it's okay.
00:42:20I've really enjoyed seeing you again.
00:42:23Me, too.
00:42:26And my business.
00:42:28I really got a shot now thanks to you.
00:42:31Thanks for letting me help.
00:42:35And for being my friend.
00:42:48Here you go.
00:42:52Better get that to Riley right away before it melts.
00:42:54Oh, it's not for him.
00:43:01I'm going to miss these.
00:43:04Are you leaving?
00:43:05Oh, yeah.
00:43:07It's been wonderful, but too bad it's just temporary.
00:43:10Now, wait a minute.
00:43:12Not everything is temporary.
00:43:14The way you feel here and now, that'll stay with you.
00:43:21I should let you go.
00:43:24Eden, if you go back, what do you leave behind here now?
00:43:32Thanks, Mr. Weber.
00:43:37Oh.
00:43:40What is it?
00:43:41Oh, it's Reese.
00:43:45He wants to know if I can make it to an all-hands-on meeting Tuesday.
00:43:49Oh, he really wants you back.
00:43:51Yeah.
00:43:52He's seen what life's like with you out of the office, and he doesn't like it.
00:43:56I'm so glad this worked for you.
00:43:58Me, too.
00:44:06Is that everything?
00:44:07Yep, I double-checked, even under the furniture.
00:44:09You're thorough.
00:44:12Ready?
00:44:13Yeah, I'm just going to lock up.
00:44:14Okay, sounds good.
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:34Hi.
00:44:35Hey.
00:44:40We're leaving.
00:44:41Work and all that.
00:44:43Going back to it, huh?
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:45I hope it works out.
00:44:47Thanks.
00:44:50Well, I should go.
00:44:52Hey, if you're in town again, you should come by the shop, see if we're following your advice well or not.
00:44:59I definitely will.
00:45:04Goodbye, Riley.
00:45:07Bye.
00:45:24Hey, you want me to drive?
00:45:27Yeah, sure.
00:45:55Good news.
00:46:07We have two brand-new clients under contract now.
00:46:10Castle Vacuums and Menfloral Air Fresheners.
00:46:13Right?
00:46:15This is going to be great for us.
00:46:16They're eager to hit the ground running, so let's get to work ASAP.
00:46:19Bobby, you take Castle Vacuums.
00:46:21Eden, you up for Menfloral?
00:46:25Absolutely.
00:46:26Excellent.
00:46:33Come in.
00:46:37Hey, honey.
00:46:38How was work today?
00:46:39Good.
00:46:40Did you cook?
00:46:42No.
00:46:43It's a new client product, Menfloral Air Freshener.
00:46:47Menfloral?
00:46:49Yeah, I think it's because it's pure minerals added with floral scents.
00:46:53At first, I thought men meant mini, but this isn't that small, so...
00:46:57Interesting.
00:46:58Yeah.
00:46:59So, I wanted to plan out Friday's dinner.
00:47:01Oh, what time does this start?
00:47:02Well, for once, I want to be early.
00:47:04So, are you okay if I pick you up at 530?
00:47:06I'll be ready.
00:47:07Great.
00:47:08What's the dress code?
00:47:10I'm wearing a suit and a new tie.
00:47:12A new tie.
00:47:14Hmm, okay.
00:47:16I'll be sure not to embarrass you then.
00:47:18Oh, thank you.
00:47:43Hey.
00:47:45Hey, Riley.
00:47:46How you doing?
00:47:47Good.
00:47:48I just wanted to check on that freezer.
00:47:50Is it running all right?
00:47:52Ever since you fixed it.
00:47:54It's got a few more years on it now, thanks to you.
00:47:56Good.
00:47:57So, what can I get you?
00:47:59Nothing.
00:48:00I was just passing by.
00:48:01I thought I'd check in.
00:48:02Okay.
00:48:03Well, how's that business doing?
00:48:04I see your balloon floating around every morning.
00:48:06Yeah, it's been popular lately.
00:48:08Good, good.
00:48:10So, have you heard from Eden lately?
00:48:14No, not since she went back home.
00:48:16Well, you could call her, you know.
00:48:19Yeah, I think she's moved on.
00:48:22You know, I'm in her past.
00:48:24And, uh, that's okay.
00:48:28As long as she's happy.
00:48:30You're a good kid, you know that?
00:48:36Are you nervous about the pitch?
00:48:38No, not really.
00:48:41But maybe I should be, because then I'd come across as excited about it.
00:48:45Well, I'll admit, air fresheners are pretty dull.
00:48:48Yep.
00:48:49Could you ask Reese for a different assignment?
00:48:52Uh, it was either this or vacuums.
00:48:55Oh, wow.
00:48:56Uh-huh.
00:48:57That's fine.
00:48:58It's work, right?
00:49:01Well, you know, you could still make a change.
00:49:04What do you mean?
00:49:06You know, quit your job.
00:49:09I can't.
00:49:11You just, you don't seem happy to be back.
00:49:15And maybe it's not just because of the job.
00:49:23Imagine.
00:49:25You feel a migraine coming on.
00:49:28The weight of the world constantly on your shoulders.
00:49:32But whether you're at work or at home,
00:49:36Minfloral can be a sanctuary and a shield.
00:49:41Let the natural mineral aromas lift your spirits, invigorate your body,
00:49:49ward off the stressors that come at you in every direction.
00:49:54In an array of award-winning and inventive aromas,
00:49:59Minfloral is the element missing to feel stronger and renewed.
00:50:08Minfloral.
00:50:10Mineral ingredients, floral scents, fresher life.
00:50:20I like it.
00:50:22What type of ad campaigns do you see being most effective for Minfloral?
00:50:25Well, the standard for the air freshener industry is print-based,
00:50:28but I think that's outdated.
00:50:31I want to get you on video for the coupon and shopping apps,
00:50:35as well as targeted campaigns in the online and broadcast space.
00:50:40Targeted to your demographic, of course.
00:50:43I love it.
00:50:44One question, though.
00:50:46I don't think the hot air balloon fit.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:52Eden.
00:50:56Well, we can leave that part out.
00:50:59I was going for a parallel of open, fresh air,
00:51:06like when you're in a hot air balloon.
00:51:11Oh.
00:51:13All ads will get your final approval before we run,
00:51:15so don't worry about anything that seems out of place.
00:51:18Right.
00:51:20If we hurry, we can get this locked in now while ad inventory is high.
00:51:23I think we can negotiate better placements now rather than waiting for too long.
00:51:27That sounds sensible.
00:51:31You had me slightly worried with the hot air balloon thing, but you handled it great.
00:51:35Thanks.
00:51:36There's a lot to do in a short time on Minfloral,
00:51:38but I think you can do it if you're willing to put in some extra time.
00:51:41And then I have a plant fertilizer client that I want to assign to you.
00:51:44Plant fertilizer?
00:51:46The landscape and gardening industry's number three company.
00:51:49They're aggressively trying to take the lead.
00:51:51Give that to your accounts.
00:51:55Actually, maybe you should give that to someone else.
00:52:02What do you mean?
00:52:04I mean, maybe you should give all my accounts to someone else.
00:52:21Okay.
00:52:41Hey.
00:52:42Hey.
00:52:46I'm so sorry.
00:52:48Today was crazy, and I totally forgot.
00:52:51I'll be right out.
00:52:55Okay.
00:52:57The freeway's going to be a mess right now, but we can probably make up time on another route.
00:53:01Good.
00:53:03So work was crazy today, huh?
00:53:05Sort of.
00:53:07I quit my job.
00:53:08You quit?
00:53:09You did?
00:53:10Yep.
00:53:11Is everything all right?
00:53:13That's kind of sudden, isn't it?
00:53:15I mean, what are you going to do?
00:53:17I don't know yet, but I wasn't happy.
00:53:20You know, maybe you should think it over.
00:53:22You could talk to Reese on Monday.
00:53:24No, it's fine.
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:27If you say so.
00:53:31I didn't know your job made you so unhappy.
00:53:35I don't think it's just my job, though.
00:53:39What do you mean?
00:53:43All this time.
00:53:45You know, it's hard because I love and care for you so much.
00:53:53I feel the same way about you.
00:53:57I guess we were never really in love with each other.
00:54:00It was comfortable.
00:54:02And we let it go on.
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:07So when did you figure this out?
00:54:10When I got back.
00:54:13I guess it started in Tahoe.
00:54:17There was a friend there, Riley.
00:54:21And I realized that what I felt for him was different than how I feel for you.
00:54:31Oh.
00:54:35Are you upset?
00:54:39No.
00:54:42Actually, I know exactly how you feel.
00:54:46There's something I want to tell you, too.
00:54:49You and I started dating, but as it went on, we spent time with each other's friends.
00:54:53A lot of time.
00:54:55Well, I started to...
00:54:56Kate.
00:54:58Yeah.
00:55:00I couldn't bring myself to tell either of you.
00:55:02I would hate myself if I ever came between you.
00:55:06I get it.
00:55:08I want you and Kate to be happy.
00:55:15You do?
00:55:16Definitely.
00:55:20This day has gone very differently than I thought.
00:55:23For me, too.
00:55:27Your dinner.
00:55:30You know what? Don't worry about it.
00:55:35You can still make this.
00:55:36Yes.
00:55:43Eden, what's going on?
00:55:44Go put on a nice dress.
00:55:46Why?
00:55:47Because you are going to a dinner party in honor of Michael.
00:55:51I am?
00:55:52Yeah.
00:55:53Hi, Kate.
00:55:54Okay, Eden, seriously, what's going on?
00:55:56There's not a lot of time, but to sum it up, Michael and I broke up.
00:56:00And Michael has secretly been in love with you for a while.
00:56:04And as I think of it more and more, you love him, too.
00:56:09And I couldn't be happier for the both of you.
00:56:12Okay, wait, what?
00:56:13Just think about it.
00:56:15Even in Tahoe, you were worried about me, yes.
00:56:18But you didn't want Michael to get hurt.
00:56:21And you've been such a good friend to me, but I don't want you to miss out on something special with him.
00:56:26And speaking of special, Michael's dinner started about five minutes ago.
00:56:31So what do you say, Kate?
00:56:33Be my date?
00:56:35Yes.
00:56:39What will you do?
00:56:41I don't know yet. Don't worry about it. Have fun.
00:56:49Eden?
00:56:50Yeah?
00:57:04You all have a nice day.
00:57:06Thanks. Bye.
00:57:08How was it?
00:57:10Oh, fine. No wind, really.
00:57:13Good.
00:57:14Did the no-show come while we were in the air?
00:57:16Nope. I guess they just forgot.
00:57:22Who's that?
00:57:24If that's the no-show, maybe they just got the time wrong.
00:57:29Wait.
00:57:38Did I miss the tour?
00:57:40That was you?
00:57:42I drove as fast as I could to get here.
00:57:44Sorry. You missed it.
00:57:47That's too bad.
00:57:51You know, normally there's no refunds.
00:57:54You know, normally there's no refunds.
00:57:57But maybe I could take you out for a private tour another day,
00:58:01if you're in town for a while.
00:58:04I am.
00:58:06And I'd like that.
00:58:09Maybe I might give you a good review.
00:58:15I didn't think you were coming back.
00:58:18It's like you said.
00:58:20I needed time to figure it out for myself.
00:58:24And have you?
00:58:28I think so.
00:58:31Good.
00:58:33Because I didn't want to wait another 10 or 15 years to see you again.
00:58:39Me neither.
00:58:54Bye.
00:59:00I had two resorts contact me about running a marketing push for them.
00:59:06Well, I'm not surprised.
00:59:08I think I'm going to pick one to work on.
00:59:11Good for you.
00:59:12Nice, huh?
00:59:14This whole working for yourself idea isn't bad.
00:59:18See why I like it?
00:59:20I do.
00:59:22I really do.
00:59:52I love you.
01:00:22I love you.
01:00:53I love you.
01:00:57I love you.
01:01:22I love you.
