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