Romance In The Air
Transcript
00:00:00I've never been to Lake Tahoe before.
00:00:11You'll love it.
00:00:14This 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.
00:00:25My parents renovated it a couple years ago.
00:00:28But no one lives here right now?
00:00:29Not year-round.
00:00:30I 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 any time.
00:00:41I know.
00:00:42I barely recognize it.
00:00:44I 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.
00:00:59Hey, uh, who's that?
00:01:04Uh...
00:01:05I don't know.
00:01:08No one else should be here.
00:01:10Maybe he's the gardener?
00:01:18Uh, excuse me, can I ask what...
00:01:21Riley?
00:01:23Eden.
00:01:27So, not the gardener.
00:01:31It'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 I wasn't getting
00:01:41enough water to the area, so I thought I'd come over and see if I could fix it.
00:01:44That's nice of you.
00:01:45Thanks.
00:01:46Uh, hi, I'm Kate, Eden's friend.
00:01:48Hi, Riley.
00:01:49Oh, yeah.
00:01:50Uh, Riley's parents own the cabin next door, so we would see each other every summer.
00:01:54So, 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.
00:02:21Okay.
00:02:21Uh, 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, and I took over the cabin,
00:02:32started a business.
00:02:33That's great.
00:02:34Uh, what kind of business?
00:02:35Hot air balloons.
00:02:37You sell them?
00:02:39No, no, I, uh, do hot air balloon rides around here.
00:02:42Oh, 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.
00:02:50Yeah, you too.
00:02:52It's nice to meet you, Kate, and, uh, sorry about the, uh...
00:02:56Oh, no, that's, that's fine.
00:02:57Thank you for doing that.
00:02:58No, no problem.
00:02:59I'll just, uh, be a few more minutes here with the...
00:03:02Thanks.
00:03:04Yeah, well, uh, I'll see you around.
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:06Okay.
00:03:07See ya.
00:03:12So, Riley seems nice.
00:03:13Did you see him a lot here?
00:03:14I did.
00:03:16I don't even remember how we became friends.
00:03:18I think it was convenience.
00:03:20He was next door when we came here in the summer, and he became my default friend.
00:03:24Only a friend?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:26Uh, why do you ask?
00:03:28Just a vibe, I got...
00:03:29It's Michael.
00:03:36Hi!
00:03:37Hey!
00:03:38Did you and Kate make it all right?
00:03:39We did.
00:03:40Hi, Michael.
00:03:41Hi.
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, but when do you think you're coming back?
00:03:50Oh, miss me already?
00:03:52I certainly do.
00:04:18The quarter is gorgeous.
00:04:20Isn't it?
00:04:21Look at you, who's coming 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?
00:04:33Conflicted?
00:04:33How so?
00:04:35Part of me feels...
00:04:37What's the word?
00:04:39Annoyed that they're questioning my work?
00:04:42And 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.
00:04:52I don't know.
00:04:52Maybe I'm...
00:04:53Maybe I'm relieved.
00:04:55I thought you liked it there.
00:04:57I don't know.
00:04:58I didn't even really think about it until Reese benched me.
00:05:02Well, you'll be fine when you get back after you have had time to recharge.
00:05:06I just want my decision.
00:05:10Reese seems supportive about me coming back, but only if I'm back on my game.
00:05:17Sometimes I wonder what else I could have tried.
00:05:19I don't know.
00:05:22Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
00:05:23Why can't work just be work?
00:05:26Well, it depends on what you want from it.
00:05:28You know, a simple paycheck, or do you want some fulfillment?
00:05:31Hmm.
00:05:32That's the real question, isn't it?
00:05:34Come on.
00:05:35Let's go try the water.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:37Okay.
00:05:38This was my favorite hangout spot in town.
00:05:44I'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.
00:05:57Oh, just for a little bit.
00:05:58Who's this?
00:05:59This is Kate.
00:06:00I'm showing her Tahoe, and I was just telling her that this was my favorite place.
00:06:04Well, thank you.
00:06:05It's a pleasure to meet you, Kate.
00:06:07Me too.
00:06:09Go ahead and order something.
00:06:10Of course, I know what she likes.
00:06:12Chocolate brownie milkshake.
00:06:14Oh, that's because of the homemade brownies you put in it.
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:17And how about you, Kate?
00:06:19Um, I'll try your cookie dough shake.
00:06:22Mmm.
00:06:23A sensible choice.
00:06:26You know, Eden, I hope you stick around this time.
00:06:29I'm starting to miss all the old timers.
00:06:33I've become a rare breed.
00:06:35Well, I'll try to come often while I'm here.
00:06:38I'm going to hold you, too, then.
00:06:40Okay.
00:06:41Why don't you go ahead and go in there and have a seat, and I'll bring your order up.
00:06:44Okay.
00:06:44Okay?
00:06:46Thanks.
00:06:54Finding everything you need?
00:06:55Mm-hmm.
00:06:57Thought you didn't like salad.
00:06:58Uh, well, that's when I was 12.
00:07:02It's not so bad now.
00:07:03Ah.
00:07:04I see.
00:07:04You, uh, still love bananas?
00:07:07Allergic now.
00:07:08No.
00:07:09Yeah.
00:07:09It was a sad day when I had to give those up.
00:07:11Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:13You know, I was surprised that you're still living here.
00:07:15I'd have thought when you were old enough, you'd leave and conquer the world.
00:07:19Well, in fairness, I did leave and try a slice of life somewhere else, but then I came back.
00:07:25Well, I'm happy to see you again.
00:07:29Uh, how long are you in town?
00:07:31Uh, a few weeks.
00:07:33It's a bit fluid.
00:07:35Right.
00:07:35So you'll, uh, relax, read a book, swim, 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?
00:07:45You gotta go to our spot.
00:07:47Our spot?
00:07:48The Overlook.
00:07:50Oh.
00:07:51We 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 Riley and me.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:14So you just hike there?
00:08:16It's a really pretty hike.
00:08:20And?
00:08:21And?
00:08:23It's where we had our first kiss.
00:08:28Wait, what?
00:08:34Eden, Kate, come on.
00:08:38Oh, wow.
00:08:42I need to get out more.
00:08:44How are your feet?
00:08:46Forgotten.
00:08:47Worth it?
00:08:48Just as I remembered.
00:08:55So, Kate, what do you do?
00:08:57I'm a hairstylist.
00:08:59That sounds fancy.
00:09:01I cut and style hair.
00:09:02It'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, you'd think, but it's been a bit of a slow start.
00:09:17You know, it's a little pricey, so it's difficult for the casual or budget-minded tourists.
00:09:22But it's Tahoe.
00:09:23People come here to vacation and burn cash.
00:09:26Well, people come here, you 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.
00:09:36It's unique.
00:09:37Yeah, well, I can only run tours early in the morning or in the early evening if I'm lucky.
00:09:45So I'm starting to think maybe I should get another job to live on while I keep this as a side job.
00:09:50Well, why don't you add more tours?
00:09:52Well, the temperature affects how well we can rise, and then there's the wind which picks up throughout the day.
00:09:58That's tricky.
00:09:59Yeah.
00:10:00It is fun, though.
00:10:02You both should come see it for yourselves.
00:10:04You mean in the air?
00:10:06Yeah.
00:10:07That'd be fun.
00:10:21You 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?
00:10:27Just give me a number.
00:10:3025?
00:10:31Feet?
00:10:32More like yards, but it's not that high.
00:10:37You aren't kidding.
00:10:41Where do you see the lake?
00:10:43Are you, like, steering us over there?
00:10:44I'm doing my best, yeah.
00:10:46Okay, 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.
00:10:52All these years coming here, I've never seen it like this.
00:11:03I have fond memories of this place, but this?
00:11:07This is the best.
00:11:10Well, then you're gonna love this.
00:11:13Hey, Kate, hang on.
00:11:14What?
00:11:15Are we fine?
00:11:16Oh, wow.
00:11:27And this is the less impressive side of my little company.
00:11:32Here, I can help.
00:11:33I've just set them down over there.
00:11:34How long have you been in business?
00:11:36Almost a year.
00:11:37What's your favorite part about it?
00:11:43Floating in the balloon, just above the lake's surface.
00:11:46I don't think there's anything more peaceful.
00:11:49It's pure serenity.
00:11:51What's the worst part?
00:12:02What?
00:12:02Well, 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.
00:12:14Hmm.
00:12:15I could use an opportunity to sharpen up my skills.
00:12:20People 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.
00:12:58It almost pains me, though.
00:13:01Now, I 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.
00:13:11So, how do you plan to help?
00:13:14Well, for starters, he could use some more photos and video on his website,
00:13:19especially of that view and the balloon launching.
00:13:22Yes.
00:13:22Okay, can you send that to me?
00:13:24I bet we can get some social media buzz going, too, with some simple ads.
00:13:28I know he's nervous about spending a lot, but I know some easy stuff that will get the ball rolling.
00:13:33I think that's perfect.
00:13:34Are you sure?
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:37Hot air.
00:13:38He definitely needs a sign for his warehouse.
00:13:44Is that going to be enough, though?
00:13:49You know how you always see a gazillion tour brochures when you stay at a hotel?
00:13:53No, I don't travel much.
00:13:56Well, guests look through those and plan out activities for their stay.
00:13:59We just need to get them to see Riley's Hot Air Tahoe.
00:14:03Oh, I so owe you one.
00:14:15No, you don't.
00:14:16Yes, I do.
00:14:17This is amazing.
00:14:19Well, I'm glad you like it.
00:14:20You can still make changes.
00:14:22I didn't want to put in a big order until 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.
00:14:31Riley, you don't...
00:14:32I'm serious.
00:14:33Dinner's the least I can do.
00:14:40So, you never told me why 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, but my boss told me to take some time off so I
00:14:54can 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.
00:15:02I used to be.
00:15:05I think that this was easier because the stakes were more important than, say, selling sandals.
00:15:12Well, hot air balloons are a lot cooler than sandals, so I get it.
00:15:15Do you like marketing?
00:15:18I thought I did.
00:15:21You told me that flying airplanes lost its appeal for you.
00:15:26I guess we all change.
00:15:28Maybe.
00:15:30You haven't changed as much as I would have thought.
00:15:32No?
00:15:33No.
00:15:33I still see the same girl next door.
00:15:37Same girl that would steal my shoes off the porch if I left them out.
00:15:40That's because you stuffed snails in mine.
00:15:43You were always a bit mischievous.
00:15:46And 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 when it was that we started to grow up?
00:15:56Hey, why don't you stop coming to Tahoe?
00:16:03Yeah.
00:16:04And here you go.
00:16:05Oh, thank you.
00:16:06Thanks.
00:16:10Thank you for dinner.
00:16:12My pleasure.
00:16:12But I still owe you.
00:16:16Have you been by Mr. Weber's?
00:16:17Of course.
00:16:18You know, he still remembers my favorite milkshake flavor.
00:16:21Mine too.
00:16:23Bananas Foster.
00:16:23Oh, you're allergic.
00:16:26I keep having to remind him so he doesn't get offended when I turn it down.
00:16:30You want to go see him?
00:16:31I'll trade your banana foster for my chocolate brownie if he unknowingly insists.
00:16:38Deal.
00:16:39Okay.
00:16:41You two have made my day.
00:16:44It's just like old times.
00:16:46You work too hard.
00:16:48Don't you have anyone to help?
00:16:50I got a couple of kids that come in and work a shift now and then,
00:16:53but this is my pride and joy.
00:16:57And here's your bananas foster.
00:16:59I'm always trying to get Mr. Weber to take a vacation.
00:17:03Vacation.
00:17:03Where would I go that's better than this?
00:17:06Seeing you two back together again.
00:17:10That's the cherry on top.
00:17:13Excuse me.
00:17:14Thanks for the milkshakes.
00:17:15Sure.
00:17:20Thanks.
00:17:21I wouldn't want you to have an allergic shock here.
00:17:24Well, it's more like I break out in hives, but still not fun.
00:17:28So, no more bananas, no more bananas foster, you're not an airline pilot.
00:17:35What else has changed?
00:17:38I'm a terrible businessman, apparently.
00:17:40You just need some marketing tips, that's all.
00:17:42That's a very nice way of putting it.
00:17:44But, uh, what else has changed?
00:17:47I don't know.
00:17:49Maybe I'm the same at heart.
00:17:52Have you ever been married?
00:17:55Uh, nope.
00:17:56I had a girlfriend.
00:17:58A few, actually, but...
00:17:59One wanted to get married.
00:18:02And then I realized...
00:18:04Well, I didn't love her, so...
00:18:08What about you?
00:18:10Never married.
00:18:18Do you remember we used to sneak out to the lake at night?
00:18:22Yep.
00:18:23The last night of our trip.
00:18:26And we'd go to the dock and lay out and watch the stars.
00:18:30Talk about...
00:18:32What we wanted.
00:18:33What worried us.
00:18:35Anything that was on our minds.
00:18:37First day at school or parents fighting.
00:18:39Gossipy friends back home.
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:44I remember on more than one occasion,
00:18:46you wished...
00:18:48you could stay in Tahoe forever.
00:18:51Me too.
00:18:52I miss those talks.
00:18:55Me too.
00:18:58Hey, Kate, you ready?
00:19:01Yes.
00:19:02Do you want me to grab you a drink?
00:19:03Oh, I just filled up my water bottle. I'm good.
00:19:05Oh, hey, how was your dinner, Friday?
00:19:07It was good.
00:19:08You kind of seemed like a date.
00:19:10No.
00:19:11No, it's not like that.
00:19:12No, was it ever?
00:19:13I 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.
00:19:23You two seemed close.
00:19:24Uh, there were a lot of summers.
00:19:29I mean, sure, we liked each other, but we 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 of monkey bars.
00:19:40Okay.
00:19:41Just wondering.
00:19:42Oh.
00:19:44Oh, that's Riley.
00:19:46Oh, what's he want?
00:19:47He wants to know what we're doing today.
00:19:48Do you want to invite him along?
00:19:52Sure.
00:19:52I'll text him back.
00:20:00I 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.
00:20:06Should I get that?
00:20:12No.
00:20:14I'll be right back.
00:20:24Hey, honey.
00:20:25Hi.
00:20:26Sorry I missed your call.
00:20:27I was on the water.
00:20:28The water, huh?
00:20:29Are you and Kate having fun?
00:20:31Yeah, we are.
00:20:32All play and no work.
00:20:34Actually, um, there's a little bit of work.
00:20:39I'm helping out a neighbor without promoting his business.
00:20:43Wow.
00:20:44Good for you.
00:20:44Just don't overdo it.
00:20:46I won't.
00:20:47Uh, what's going on with you?
00:20:49Why are you and Eden so close?
00:20:52I don't know if we still are.
00:20:54We were when she was here.
00:20:56Maybe it's...
00:20:58My boss came to me today and he told me I'm being recognized internally at the firm.
00:21:01You so deserve that.
00:21:03Congratulations.
00:21:04Well, the annual company dinner's coming up and they always give out awards and whatnot.
00:21:08Well, this year I get one, along with a nice little bonus.
00:21:11That's amazing.
00:21:13The dinner's at the end of next week.
00:21:14Do you think you can make it?
00:21:15Of course.
00:21:17You and Kate will be back from your trip by then?
00:21:18I'll make sure we are.
00:21:20I'm so proud of you.
00:21:22Thanks.
00:21:23I miss you.
00:21:24I miss you, too.
00:21:27All right.
00:21:27Have fun at the lake.
00:21:28I will.
00:21:29Bye.
00:21:30Bye.
00:21:30Bye.
00:21:30So, Randy's nice?
00:21:39Yeah.
00:21:41Is he dating anyone?
00:21:43Not that he mentioned.
00:21:44Does he know you're dating Michael?
00:21:46Uh, he doesn't matter.
00:21:50We'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?
00:21:59He's wonderful, supportive, grown-up.
00:22:06Don't you think?
00:22:07Yeah.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:08I agree.
00:22:11Then what's the problem?
00:22:14Nothing.
00:22:16Okay.
00:22:17Let's just enjoy the trip here.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:19So, your feelings for Michael aren't changing.
00:22:28Correct.
00:22:30And your feelings for Riley?
00:22:34Ugh.
00:22:38Here.
00:22:39This is a good one.
00:22:40Thanks.
00:22:41Enjoy.
00:22:41Thanks for letting me put this up.
00:22:50Yeah.
00:22:50Have a nice day.
00:22:51You too.
00:22:58Ooh.
00:22:58You beat me here.
00:23:24Well, I figured Mr. Weber would be very supportive.
00:23:28He says you owe him.
00:23:29So you finished then?
00:23:31Yep. You?
00:23:32Pretty much.
00:23:33I wonder how long it's going to take for us to see if this is working.
00:23:36I do have some online ads scheduled to start running.
00:23:39I should probably check on those stats.
00:23:40Ooh, 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.
00:23:51Well, relax. The rest is out of your hands.
00:23:53In fact, maybe it's time you stop thinking about work. Any work.
00:24:02How?
00:24:03Oh, just like old times.
00:24:18Yep.
00:24:19I love the sunset over the lake.
00:24:27Don'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.
00:24:38Quiet's overrated.
00:24:39Never gets this quiet back home.
00:24:44You could always come back here.
00:24:46I guess so.
00:24:49I should come back here more often.
00:24:51I've missed this.
00:24:53Me too.
00:24:56Did you ever think about the last time you were here?
00:24:59Yeah.
00:25:01You went on that gondola?
00:25:03Yeah.
00:25:04I remember.
00:25:06My stomach didn't like it.
00:25:07Yeah, I was worried about that.
00:25:09With the hot air balloon ride, I 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.
00:25:26I really 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.
00:25:48Well, 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 wished that I lived here, and not so far away, so that I could see you
00:26:09more, and that I missed you.
00:26:18I've missed you, too.
00:26:19And I've wished every time I've come out onto this dock that I could see you more often.
00:26:26You kissed him?
00:26:39Does that make me a horrible person?
00:26:42No, of course not.
00:26:43But you do need to come clean.
00:26:45What?
00:26:46Why?
00:26:47Because he deserves to know.
00:26:50Do you mean Riley or Michael?
00:26:52Both.
00:26:54Yes, we kissed.
00:26:56But it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
00:26:58I'm with Michael, and Riley is...
00:27:01What?
00:27:01What is he?
00:27:04A nice memory.
00:27:06It can't lead anywhere.
00:27:08Do you want it to?
00:27:09Okay, 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.
00:27:20And that's fine, but you can't move forward unless you let go of Riley or Michael.
00:27:28I...
00:27:28I 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...
00:27:37I'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?
00:27:48Yeah, 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.
00:27:56All 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.
00:28:15But it'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.
00:28:32And 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!
00:28:51Is that what it usually sounds like?
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:53Okay, then.
00:28:54Rhys, 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.
00:29:09Looking forward to having you back.
00:29:11Eden, hi.
00:29:23Hi.
00:29:24Uh, am I interrupting?
00:29:26Um, I have a few minutes.
00:29:28How are you?
00:29:29I'm okay.
00:29:32Uh-oh.
00:29:33Uh, I guess it's good.
00:29:35Rhys 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.
00:29:49Tahoe sounds like a great place.
00:29:52Hey, 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.
00:30:01Hey, and great news about Rhys.
00:30:02I knew it would all work out.
00:30:04Yeah.
00:30:05It's good.
00:30:06I'll, uh, 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.
00:30:26I don't know when my parents got these.
00:30:28This wasn't really a thing when we were kids.
00:30:30You're making us sound old.
00:30:32Well, 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.
00:30:41Speaking of home, I got an email from my boss today.
00:30:46And?
00:30:47Well, uh, he wanted my input on some things.
00:30:52Isn't that good?
00:30:53Uh, yeah.
00:30:55I 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.
00:31:05Oh, that's too scary.
00:31:06I did it.
00:31:07So could you.
00:31:09We're still flying.
00:31:11You could still market.
00:31:12But is that what you want to do?
00:31:16It's not that I don't like marketing.
00:31:18There's a thrill in it sometimes.
00:31:22Like a pride in it.
00:31:24How 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?
00:31:40I think it's easier to work on something you believe in.
00:31:44That could be it.
00:31:47Well.
00:31:48The 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 me 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.
00:32:33You know, if this hot air balloon thing doesn't work, you 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.
00:32:45Hey, I think I got this.
00:32:53I think I got this.
00:32:54Oh.
00:32:57Now use your order to move yourself around.
00:32:59This is cool.
00:33:05Right?
00:33:06Yeah.
00:33:07So, uh, what's your secret?
00:33:11Trust yourself.
00:33:13Gee, thanks.
00:33:15And, uh, tighten your stomach.
00:33:17Supposedly it helps with balance.
00:33:18Okay.
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:23So, uh, let me guess.
00:33:24You do this every weekend?
00:33:26No.
00:33:27Every other weekend.
00:33:28Yes.
00:33:28Yes.
00:33:28Hey.
00:33:38What 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 gonna lecture me.
00:33:53I don't do that.
00:33:54Okay, seriously, I won't do that.
00:33:59I promise.
00:34:02Riley kind of insinuated that he wants me to stay here.
00:34:08Wow.
00:34:10Gutsy.
00:34:12Is that even tempting?
00:34:16It is.
00:34:19It shouldn't be, though, right?
00:34:21I have a life back home and a job, sort of.
00:34:26And what he's saying is a huge change.
00:34:29And not just for job and home, but relationship-wise, too.
00:34:34I know.
00:34:35It's crazy.
00:34:36And Michael is...
00:34:38Amazing, supportive, stable.
00:34:41Exactly.
00:34:42Why would I let that go?
00:34:46Maybe I just need to put this aside and enjoy the rest of my time here.
00:34:52It sounds like good advice, but you still need to be careful not to hurt one of them.
00:34:59Or yourself.
00:35:01Okay?
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:04And, uh, the card's expiration date?
00:35:13All right, you're all set for Monday.
00:35:15Party at five.
00:35:16Yeah, sure thing.
00:35:17All right, I'll see you then.
00:35:20Party at five?
00:35:21The phone has not stopped ringing all morning.
00:35:23We have every single day book for the next two weeks.
00:35:26Are you serious?
00:35:27That's amazing!
00:35:29Your friend has really got things rolling here.
00:35:32I'm gonna go get things prepped for tomorrow's tour.
00:35:33Harder Tahoe, can I help you?
00:35:46So, guess how many calls I got?
00:35:49How many?
00:35:50Thirty-three.
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.
00:35:59That'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.
00:36:10Talking all business.
00:36:12So what you working on?
00:36:13Uh, web ads.
00:36:15What do you think?
00:36:17It looks...
00:36:19What?
00:36:21Uh, legitimate.
00:36:22Well, good, because you are.
00:36:25I feel professional.
00:36:26And I'm not even doing any work.
00:36:28You are.
00:36:29And I'm gonna give you options.
00:36:30That way you don't have to use the same ad all the time.
00:36:33What for?
00:36:34Uh, to change it up for seasons, holiday, stuff like that.
00:36:38Got it.
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:42And there you go.
00:36:43I don't know what I'm gonna do without you.
00:36:46Oh, I think you'll do fine.
00:36:49I'd rather not find out.
00:36:52Any chance you'll stay?
00:36:56You can get anyone to help you with this.
00:36:59And don't worry.
00:37:01It's not like your business will lose out.
00:37:03Well, uh, it's not my business I'm worried about losing.
00:37:06Um, so, uh, what are your plans for the rest of your stay?
00:37:18Yeah, just a few more things to load up and should be all set.
00:37:21Great.
00:37:22Yeah, I've got to get to bed early.
00:37:24I've been used to sleeping in.
00:37:25Oh, yeah, well, I'd say I'm sorry, but no sleep means working a paycheck, huh?
00:37:28Yeah, I'll take it.
00:37:30Oh, um, Eden mentioned we should do something to encourage customers to leave reviews.
00:37:35Yeah, 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's the way to go.
00:37:45Uh, I'll have to ask for some ideas on that.
00:37:47Well, is she saying?
00:37:49Well, I'd like her to, but...
00:37:51But what?
00:37:52Well, too early to tell.
00:37:56Are you two dating?
00:37:58Too early to tell.
00:38:00All right, well, sounds like you've got a lot to clear up.
00:38:03I'm just gonna finish loading up.
00:38:04All right, uh, thanks, Spencer.
00:38:11These are beautiful.
00:38:14Here you go.
00:38:17Great.
00:38:21This is just about done.
00:38:23Great.
00:38:23Oh, I'll get it.
00:38:36Michael!
00:38:36Eden.
00:38:43So, I was thinking about your call and seeing you and about Tahoe, and it dawned on me.
00:38:47Why not come for the weekend, at least?
00:38:50I'm glad to see you.
00:38:53Riley!
00:38:56Michael!
00:38:56Oh, hi, Kate.
00:39:01Uh, Riley.
00:39:03Uh, this is Michael.
00:39:06My boyfriend.
00:39:07Hi.
00:39:11Good to meet you.
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13Nice flowers?
00:39:14Oh, yeah.
00:39:15They're for, uh, Eden.
00:39:15Um, and Kate, as a thank you for 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...
00:39:30Yeah.
00:39:32Ha!
00:39:33Um, dinner's ready.
00:39:35Oh, great.
00:39:36I'm starving.
00:39:37Oh, nice tan.
00:39:38Uh, thanks.
00:39:43I just wanted to drop those off.
00:39:45Riley, I, I didn't know that...
00:39:47The response to the flyers and everything has been great.
00:39:50You've been getting a lot of business, so...
00:39:54Riley.
00:39:57You have company.
00:40:01Good night, Eden.
00:40:04Good night.
00:40:15Ah.
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.
00:40:29Good.
00:40:34Sue, are you having fun down here?
00:40:36Yeah, it's been great.
00:40:38Yeah, the views are amazing.
00:40:41Yeah, they're quite nice.
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:43Uh, I mean, uh, I'll be right back.
00:41:03Okay.
00:41:03You're right.
00:41:11I'm sorry.
00:41:13I don't like being right.
00:41:15Riley's not with this.
00:41:17Should I tell Michael about Riley?
00:41:20Um, I think you could.
00:41:23I don't want to hurt him, too.
00:41:25I think he would understand.
00:41:29But, it'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.
00:42:06We're just old friends.
00:42:08You're more than that.
00:42:10But not enough.
00:42:12That's not true.
00:42:13Isn'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 out.
00:42:35And for being my friend.
00:42:38And for being my friend.
00:42:43Here you go.
00:42:51Better get that to Riley right away before it melts.
00:42:54Oh, it's not for him.
00:43:00I'm not going to miss these.
00:43:04Are you leaving?
00:43:05Oh, yeah.
00:43:06It's been wonderful, but too bad it's just temporary.
00:43:10Now, wait a minute.
00:43:11Not everything is temporary.
00:43:14The way you feel here and now, that'll stay with you.
00:43:20I should let you go.
00:43:24Eden, if you go back, what do you leave behind here now?
00:43:32Thanks, Mr. Weber.
00:43:36Oh.
00:43:39What is it?
00:43:40Oh.
00:43:42It's Reese.
00:43:44He wants to know if I can make it to an all-hands-on meeting Tuesday.
00:43:48Wow.
00:43:49He really wants you back.
00:43:51Yeah.
00:43:51He's seen what life's like with you out of the office, and he doesn't like it.
00:43:55I'm so glad this worked for you.
00:43:57Me too.
00:43:58Is that everything?
00:44:06Yep.
00:44:07I double-checked, even under the furniture.
00:44:09You're thorough.
00:44:11Ready?
00:44:12Yeah.
00:44:12I'm just going to lock up.
00:44:14Okay.

00:46:43client product min floral air freshener min floral yeah I think it's because it's pure minerals added

00:48:03doing I see your balloon floating around every morning yeah it's been popular lately good good
00:48:09so uh have you heard from Eden lately um no no not since she went back home well you could call her
00:48:18you know yeah I think she's moved on you know I'm in her past and uh that's okay you know as long as
00:48:29she's happy you're a good kid you know that
00:48:32are you nervous about the pitch no not really but maybe I should be because then I'd come across as
00:48:44excited about it well I'll admit our fishers are pretty dull yep could you ask Greece for a different
00:48:51assignment I was either this or vacuums oh wow mm-hmm that's fine it's it's work right well you know you
00:49:02could still make a change what do you mean you know quit your job I can't you just you don't seem happy to
00:49:14be back and and maybe it's not just because of the job imagine you feel a migraine coming on the weight of
00:49:29the world constantly on your shoulders but whether you're at work or at home min floral can be a sanctuary
00:49:38and a shield let the natural mineral aromas lift your spirits invigorate your body ward off the stressors
00:49:50that come at you in every direction in an array of award-winning and inventive aromas min floral is
00:50:01the element missing to feel stronger and renewed min floral mineral ingredients floral scents fresher life
00:50:15thank you
00:50:18I like it what type of bad campaigns do you see being most effective for min floral well the standard for
00:50:26the air freshener industry is print-based but I think that's outdated I want to get you on video
00:50:33for the coupon and shopping apps as well as targeted campaigns in the online and broadcast space targeted
00:50:41to your demographic of course I love it one question though I don't think the hot air balloon fit oh
00:50:49well we can leave that part out I was going for a parallel of open fresh air like when you're in a hot air balloon
00:51:09oh all ads will get your final approval before we run so don't worry about anything that seems out of place
00:51:17right if we hurry we can get this locked in now I'll add a notorious high I think we can negotiate
00:51:24better placements now rather than waiting for too long that sounds sensible
00:51:28you had me slightly worried with hot air balloon thing but you handled it great thanks there's a lot
00:51:36to do in a short time on min floral but I think you can do it if you're willing to put in some extra time
00:51:40and then I have a plant fertilizer client that I want to assign to you plant fertilizer the landscape
00:51:46and gardening industry's number three company they're aggressively trying to take the lead so I'll add
00:51:51that to your accounts actually maybe you should give that to someone else what do you mean I mean
00:52:03maybe you should give all my accounts to someone else
00:52:08I might have a lot of them
00:52:13yeah
00:52:16whatever
00:52:20okay
00:52:24okay
00:52:25come on
00:52:37Hey.
00:52:41Hey.
00:52:45I'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 is going to be a mess right now,
00:52:59but we can probably make up time on another route.
00:53:01Good.
00:53:03So work was crazy today, huh?
00:53:05Sort of.
00:53:06I quit my job.
00:53:08You quit? You did?
00:53:10Yep.
00:53:11Is everything all right?
00:53:12That's kind of sudden, isn't it?
00:53:14I mean, what are you going to do?
00:53:16Uh, I 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. If you say so.
00:53:31I didn't know your job made you so unhappy.
00:53:33I don't think it's just my job, though.
00:53:39What do you mean?
00:53:42All this time.
00:53:44I know.
00:53:46It's hard because I love and care for you so much.
00:53:51I feel the same way about you.
00:53:56I guess we were never really in love with each other.
00:53:59It was comfortable.
00:54:01And we let it go on.
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:04So when did you figure this out?
00:54:09When I got back.
00:54:12But I guess it started in Tahoe.
00:54:15There 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.
00:54:34Are you upset?
00:54:39No.
00:54:39Actually, I know exactly how you feel.
00:54:46There's something I want to tell you, too.
00:54:49You and I started dating.
00:54:50But 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!
00:54:57Yeah.
00:54:59I couldn't bring myself to tell either of you.
00:55:02I would hate myself if I ever came between you.
00:55:04I get it.
00:55:07I want you and Kate to be happy.
00:55:14You do?
00:55:15Definitely.
00:55:19This day has gone very differently than I thought.
00:55:22Well, me, too.
00:55:24Yeah.
00:55:26Oh, your dinner.
00:55:29You know what?
00:55:30Don't worry about it.
00:55:31Don't worry about it.
00:55:34No, you can still make this.
00:55:36Yes.
00:55:43Eden, what's going on?
00:55:44Go put on a nice dress.
00:55:46Well, why?
00:55:46Because you are going to a dinner party in honor of Michael.
00:55:51Well, I 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.
00:55:59And Michael has secretly been in love with you for a while, and as I think of it more
00:56:05and more, you love him, too.
00:56:09And I couldn't be happier for the both of you.
00:56:11Okay, wait, what?
00:56:13Just think about it.
00:56:14Even in Tahoe, you were worried about me, yes, but you didn't want Michael to get hurt.
00:56:20And you've been such a good friend of me, but I don't want you to miss out on something
00:56:24special with him.
00:56:26And speaking of special, Michael's dinner started about five minutes ago.
00:56:30So what do you say, Kate?
00:56:32Will you come with me?
00:56:33Be my date?
00:56:36Yes.
00:56:39What will you do?
00:56:41I don't know yet.
00:56:42Don't worry about it.
00:56:43Have fun.
00:56:43You all have a nice day.
00:57:05Thanks.
00:57:06Bye.
00:57:07How was it?
00:57:10Oh, fine.
00:57:11No wind, really.
00:57:13Good.
00:57:14Did the no-show come while we were in the air?
00:57:16Nope.
00:57:17I guess they just forgot.
00:57:18No.
00:57:21Uh, who's that?
00:57:24If that's the no-show, maybe they just got the time wrong.
00:57:32Wait.
00:57:41Did I miss the tour?
00:57:42That was you?
00:57:43I drove as fast as I could to get here.
00:57:47I'm sorry.
00:57:48You missed it.
00:57:49Ugh.
00:57:50That's too bad.
00:57:53You know, normally there's no refunds, but, uh, well, maybe I could take you up for a private
00:58:00tour another day.
00:58:01If you're in town for a while.
00:58:03I am.
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?
00:58:25I 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.
00:58:40I, uh, had two resorts contact me about running a marketing push for them.
00:59:04Well, I'm not surprised.
00:59:07I think I'm gonna pick one to work on.
00:59:10Good for you.
00:59:12Nice, huh?
00:59:13This whole, uh, working for yourself idea isn't bad.
00:59:17See why I like it?
00:59:19I do.
00:59:20I really do.
00:59:22I really do.
00:59:50I really do.
