Obviously, you're sleeping

28
00:01:56.812 --> 00:01:59.423
So here's the thing.
The ending isn't working.
29
00:01:59.510 --> 00:02:02.774
But I think it may be indicative
of a larger problem.
30
00:02:04.254 --> 00:02:07.692
-Desmond Ranes is--
-Absolutely perfect?
31
00:02:07.779 --> 00:02:10.956
But now he's almost too perfect.
32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.480
You've built him
33
00:02:12.567 --> 00:02:16.614
into an unrealistic concept
of a hero.
34
00:02:16.658 --> 00:02:18.138
I have a theory,
35
00:02:18.225 --> 00:02:22.185
but, um, I'm not sure
if I should say it.
36
00:02:22.272 --> 00:02:24.666
Well, you can't say that
and not say it.
37
00:02:24.753 --> 00:02:27.973
Maybe, just maybe,
38
00:02:28.017 --> 00:02:29.584
being a romance novelist
39
00:02:29.671 --> 00:02:32.848
who's too picky
to ever go on a second date
40
00:02:32.891 --> 00:02:34.719
is starting to become a problem.
41
00:02:34.763 --> 00:02:36.808
Well, what's wrong
with having high standards?
42
00:02:36.895 --> 00:02:40.247
You have impossible standards.
43
00:02:40.334 --> 00:02:42.249
Okay, look, I'm just saying,
44
00:02:42.336 --> 00:02:45.730
if you stopped looking for
Desmond and started looking--
45
00:02:45.774 --> 00:02:48.080
-I have an idea.
-Okay. Great.
46
00:02:48.124 --> 00:02:50.431
I go away for a week
to Silver Springs
47
00:02:50.474 --> 00:02:53.347
for Christmas as always,
and then I'll come back
48
00:02:53.434 --> 00:02:56.219
recharged and ready to rewrite
the end of my book.
49
00:02:56.306 --> 00:02:58.003
Sounds fun,
50
00:02:58.090 --> 00:03:02.356
but, no can do.
51
00:03:02.399 --> 00:03:04.706
Izzi, your holiday-themed book
52
00:03:04.793 --> 00:03:07.796
was supposed to be available
for the holidays.
53
00:03:07.883 --> 00:03:09.928
You're gonna make me work
through Christmas?
54
00:03:10.015 --> 00:03:11.582
That is so Ebenezer of you.
55
00:03:11.669 --> 00:03:14.194
I'm sorry.
56
00:03:14.281 --> 00:03:17.632
The only reason I fought so hard
to get you this third deadline
57
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.765
is because
you're my most successful author
58
00:03:20.852 --> 00:03:22.376
and my best friend.
59
00:03:23.507 --> 00:03:25.292
Which means you're kind of okay.
60
00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:28.033
And you're not that bad
yourself.
61
00:03:29.818 --> 00:03:31.602
Good morning. Antler Lodge.
62
00:03:31.689 --> 00:03:33.169
Hey, Bob. It's Izzi.
63
00:03:33.256 --> 00:03:35.258
Izzi! Great to hear from you.
64
00:03:35.345 --> 00:03:39.175
I'll be seeing you
in a few hours, yes?
65
00:03:39.262 --> 00:03:41.177
Unfortunately no.
66
00:03:41.264 --> 00:03:43.092
Oh, no. Did something happen?
Are you okay?
67
00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:46.313
No, I'm fine. It's just
some work stuff came up.
68
00:03:46.356 --> 00:03:47.923
Well, why don't you come up
and work from here?
69
00:03:48.010 --> 00:03:49.794
I mean, you can write anywhere,
right?
70
00:03:49.881 --> 00:03:52.928
I can, but my editor said
I need to rework my book.
71
00:03:53.015 --> 00:03:55.452
Izzi, I understand,
72
00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:59.021
but it's just, it wouldn't be
Christmas without ya.
73
00:03:59.108 --> 00:04:01.241
I know.
I work so hard all year.
74
00:04:01.328 --> 00:04:05.288
Antler Lodge
is my favorite place on Earth.
75
00:04:05.375 --> 00:04:08.639
Sorry for the pity
party. I'll see you next year.
76
00:04:08.683 --> 00:04:10.119
Actually...
77
00:04:10.206 --> 00:04:13.949
there is something
I should tell you.
78
00:04:14.036 --> 00:04:16.517
-Bob is retiring!
-Who?
79
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.388
The owner of the B&B,
this could be the last time
80
00:04:18.475 --> 00:04:20.042
I get to stay in my room.
81
00:04:20.129 --> 00:04:22.653
And by my room,
I mean my room.
82
00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:25.134
What does this have to do
with you finishing your rewrite?
83
00:04:25.221 --> 00:04:27.354
I have to enjoy Antler Lodge
while I still can.
84
00:04:27.441 --> 00:04:30.008
What if the new owner
changes everything?
85
00:04:30.052 --> 00:04:31.227
You know I don't like change.
86
00:04:31.314 --> 00:04:32.837
And by "Don't like change"
87
00:04:32.924 --> 00:04:34.796
you mean
stuck in your own ways?
88
00:04:34.883 --> 00:04:37.233
You know I've gone
to Silver Springs every year
89
00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:39.670
since my parents
moved to Florida.
90
00:04:39.757 --> 00:04:42.717
It's more than a vacation
for me. It's my Christmas home.
91
00:04:42.804 --> 00:04:45.807
Okay. I can tell how important
it is to you.
92
00:04:45.894 --> 00:04:47.722
Good,
'cause I'm already on my way.
93
00:04:49.941 --> 00:04:51.900
Okay, you just
have to promise me
94
00:04:51.987 --> 00:04:53.510
you're going to focus.
95
00:04:53.554 --> 00:04:55.338
This trip will be
completely and totally
96
00:04:55.425 --> 00:04:56.992
about me and Desmond.
97
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.689
That almost sounds romantic.
98
00:04:58.733 --> 00:05:02.345
Don't I wish? I'm kidding.
99
00:05:02.389 --> 00:05:04.304
He's a fictional character
I created.
100
00:05:04.391 --> 00:05:06.393
Okay, now that
that's cleared up,
101
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.439
I'm gonna say goodbye,
and happy writing.
102
00:05:09.526 --> 00:05:11.876
Thanks, Mila.
I won't let you down.
103
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:13.661
Okay. Bye.
104
00:05:14.923 --> 00:05:16.664
Oh, ho-ho-ho!
105
00:05:16.751 --> 00:05:18.709

Oh, I'm gonna get
a hot chocolate.
113
00:05:41.384 --> 00:05:43.778
Ow. Ah.
114
00:05:43.865 --> 00:05:46.998
Oh, man. Okay.
115
00:05:47.042 --> 00:05:49.044
Wait. There's no way.
116
00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:53.701
Oh.
117
00:05:55.790 --> 00:05:58.227
Careful. All right.
118
00:06:00.098 --> 00:06:01.317
I'm sorry.
119
00:06:06.409 --> 00:06:08.629
Mila,
you have to call me back.
120
00:06:08.716 --> 00:06:11.414
You're not gonna believe
what just happened.
121
00:06:31.695 --> 00:06:34.263
"Antler Chalet?"
122
00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:35.525
What the...
123
00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:47.755
Izzi?
-Bob!
124
00:06:49.409 --> 00:06:51.236
Ah...
125
00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:53.325
-You're here!
-I made it.
126
00:06:53.413 --> 00:06:56.981
How many years have you
been coming up here now, nine?
127
00:06:57.068 --> 00:06:59.070
-Ten.
-Ten?
128
00:06:59.157 --> 00:07:02.726
So I saw the new sign.
When did you change the name?
129
00:07:02.813 --> 00:07:04.685
About a month ago,
but I still catch myself saying
130
00:07:04.772 --> 00:07:06.774
Antler Lodge
every now and again.
131
00:07:06.861 --> 00:07:08.428
Hey, let me check you in.
132
00:07:08.515 --> 00:07:10.647
-Hm.
-Here we go.
133
00:07:10.691 --> 00:07:12.954
All right, we have Izzi Simmons
134
00:07:12.997 --> 00:07:16.784
checking into room four
as always.
135
00:07:16.871 --> 00:07:19.830
-For six nights?
-Yeah.
136
00:07:19.874 --> 00:07:21.484
I'll be leaving
the day after Christmas.
137
00:07:21.571 --> 00:07:22.790
Okay.
138
00:07:24.313 --> 00:07:27.055
-Just you?
-Yes, Bob. Like always.
139
00:07:27.142 --> 00:07:28.360
Oh, I was hoping
maybe you would've
140
00:07:28.448 --> 00:07:29.840
brought someone with you
this time.
141
00:07:29.884 --> 00:07:32.408
-Just Desmond Ranes.
-Hm?
142
00:07:32.495 --> 00:07:34.410
-The character from my books.
-Oh.
143
00:07:34.497 --> 00:07:37.718
I have a rewrite due the 25th,
so this trip'll be more business
144
00:07:37.805 --> 00:07:40.808
than a nonstop Christmas
celebration, unfortunately.
145
00:07:40.895 --> 00:07:42.853
Oh, that's too bad.
146
00:07:42.897 --> 00:07:46.814
Well, in case
you find some free time,
147
00:07:46.901 --> 00:07:48.685
I know you know these by heart,
148
00:07:48.772 --> 00:07:52.167
but here's an itinerary
of the activities this week.
149
00:07:53.995 --> 00:07:55.518
It's gonna be fun.
150
00:07:55.605 --> 00:07:58.521
Thanks, Bob. These look great.
151
00:08:13.057 --> 00:08:14.189
Hm.
152
00:08:26.027 --> 00:08:30.074
All right, Desmond,
it's just you and me.
153
00:08:30.118 --> 00:08:31.859
Let's make you more real.
154
00:08:35.297 --> 00:08:37.429
Though maybe
you're more real than I thought.
155
00:08:37.473 --> 00:08:39.997
You look a lot like the guy
I almost ran over.
156
00:09:00.801 --> 00:09:04.065
Uh, what happened
to the squeaky floor?
157
00:09:11.463 --> 00:09:13.161
Okay, we'll see you then.
Bye-bye.
158
00:09:15.206 --> 00:09:18.383
Izzi. What do I owe
the pleasure again?
159
00:09:18.427 --> 00:09:20.081
I just have a quick question.
160
00:09:20.168 --> 00:09:22.736
Let me guess. You saw
the remodeled aesthetics.
161
00:09:22.823 --> 00:09:25.347
About that. Um, my floors...
162
00:09:25.434 --> 00:09:27.088
I mean,
your floors, technically,
163
00:09:27.131 --> 00:09:29.786
they used to have
a distinct squeak.
164
00:09:29.830 --> 00:09:32.963
But the thing is,
now the squeak is gone
165
00:09:33.050 --> 00:09:35.749
and there's a carpet
over the floorboards.
166
00:09:35.836 --> 00:09:38.142
I'm sensing
you don't like the carpet.
167
00:09:38.229 --> 00:09:40.144
Was this your idea?
168
00:09:40.188 --> 00:09:42.886
No, it was, uh, his.
169
00:09:49.023 --> 00:09:50.894
Meet the new owner of the B&B,
my son.
170
00:09:50.981 --> 00:09:53.157
He just moved back from Seattle.
171
00:09:53.244 --> 00:09:55.943
-Desmond?
-Uh, actually, no. It's, uh...
172
00:09:56.030 --> 00:09:57.727
It's Matt.
173
00:09:57.814 --> 00:10:00.600
-Matt?
-Yup. Matt.
174
00:10:00.643 --> 00:10:02.297
-Your name is Matt?
-Yeah.
175
00:10:02.384 --> 00:10:03.777
Like, short for Matthew.
176
00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:06.475
You look exactly like...
177
00:10:06.562 --> 00:10:11.088
You know what, um, never mind.
This is, this is so...
178
00:10:11.175 --> 00:10:15.397
This is something, this is
confusing and confounding
179
00:10:15.484 --> 00:10:18.095
and a little bit exciting.
180
00:10:18.182 --> 00:10:19.357
Uh, okay.
181
00:10:19.444 --> 00:10:21.098
Well, to answer your question,
182
00:10:21.185 --> 00:10:22.317
uh, you're not hearing
that squeak
183
00:10:22.404 --> 00:10:24.406
'cause I fixed the floorboards.
184
00:10:24.493 --> 00:10:25.886
It's actually very simple,
you just sprinkle a little
185
00:10:25.973 --> 00:10:27.061
baby powder
over the squeaky floorboard,
186
00:10:27.148 --> 00:10:29.063
work it into the seams.
187
00:10:29.150 --> 00:10:30.281
Lubricates the wood,
keeps the boards
188
00:10:30.325 --> 00:10:31.935
from rubbing together.
189
00:10:32.022 --> 00:10:35.286
-Neat. That's, like, so neat.
-Yeah, well.
190
00:10:35.373 --> 00:10:36.853
I realized
it's only a temporary solution.
191
00:10:36.897 --> 00:10:40.204
-So, uh, we went carpeted.
-No, you went carpeted.
192
00:10:40.248 --> 00:10:42.337
We went squeaky floors,
right, Bob?
193
00:10:42.424 --> 00:10:45.427
Oh, I'm going Switzerland
on this one.
194
00:10:45.514 --> 00:10:47.647
-Are you?
-I'm gonna go out of this room.
195
00:10:47.734 --> 00:10:50.562
Um, I have to leave,
um, my editor is calling
196
00:10:50.606 --> 00:10:52.652
and I have to take this
in my room.
197
00:10:52.739 --> 00:10:54.436
Your phone didn't ring or buzz.
198
00:10:54.523 --> 00:10:57.091
Um, I meant,
I have to call her.
199
00:10:57.134 --> 00:11:00.224
-You know how editors are.
-No. Not really. How are they?
200
00:11:00.268 --> 00:11:02.270
They need to be called back.
201
00:11:02.357 --> 00:11:03.358
Well, you better
call her back then.
202
00:11:03.401 --> 00:11:06.274
That's what I'm gonna do. Bye!
203
00:11:10.626 --> 00:11:13.890
Come on, pick up,
pick up, pick up!
204
00:11:13.977 --> 00:11:16.023
-Hi, Izzi.
Finally you answer.
205
00:11:16.066 --> 00:11:19.722
Guess what?
Desmond Ranes is here!
206
00:11:19.766 --> 00:11:23.378
Whoo-hoo! Guess that fresh
mountain air inspired you, huh?
207
00:11:23.465 --> 00:11:27.121
Inspired? No.
Desmond is here.
208
00:11:27.208 --> 00:11:30.254
-Like, in Silver Springs.
-Like, physically?
209
00:11:30.298 --> 00:11:31.516
I mean, it's Matt, not Desmond.
210
00:11:31.603 --> 00:11:33.475
But, still,
this is crazy, right?
211
00:11:33.562 --> 00:11:35.956
Are you sure
you're not the one going crazy?
212
00:11:35.999 --> 00:11:38.567
What do you think this means,
do you think this is like a sign
213
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:40.090
from the universe?
214
00:11:40.177 --> 00:11:43.050
I think if this is
some sort of fake freak-out
215
00:11:43.137 --> 00:11:45.313
to get out of finishing
your book, it's creative,
216
00:11:45.400 --> 00:11:48.751
I'll give you that,
but it's not gonna work.
217
00:11:48.838 --> 00:11:51.798
No, Bob, the owner of the B&B,
218
00:11:51.885 --> 00:11:54.104
his son, Matt,
looks identical to Desmond.
219
00:11:54.191 --> 00:11:56.977
-It's, like, uncanny.
-Okay, it's finally happening.
220
00:11:57.064 --> 00:11:58.630
You've romanticized Desmond
so much,
221
00:11:58.718 --> 00:12:00.763
you're having
full-on hallucinations.
222
00:12:00.807 --> 00:12:03.766
I promise. I'm not going crazy.
223
00:12:03.810 --> 00:12:05.899
-And I'm gonna prove it.
-Oh, no. No!
224
00:12:05.986 --> 00:12:09.729
-Izzi, what are you gonna do?
-You'll see, you'll see.
225
00:12:09.772 --> 00:12:12.079
-You'll see!
-Izzi!
226
00:12:12.166 --> 00:12:14.951
Excuse me, folks. Matt,
why are these in the trash?
227
00:12:15.038 --> 00:12:16.823
-I love these old lamps.
-Oh.
228
00:12:16.866 --> 00:12:19.129
Yeah, it just doesn't really go
with the aesthetics, dad.
229
00:12:19.216 --> 00:12:20.827
-I, uh...
-Look. I mean...
230
00:12:20.914 --> 00:12:22.176
I wondered where they were,
they've been
231
00:12:22.263 --> 00:12:23.917
one over there
and one over there..
232
00:12:24.004 --> 00:12:25.614
Oh.
233
00:12:25.657 --> 00:12:27.921
-Hi.
-Hi.
234
00:12:27.964 --> 00:12:29.749
-What's your name?
-Kacey.
235
00:12:29.836 --> 00:12:32.795
-I'm Izzi.
-Nice to meet you.
236
00:12:32.839 --> 00:12:35.798
-What you doing?
-Um...
237
00:12:35.885 --> 00:12:38.148
I...
238
00:12:38.235 --> 00:12:39.628
I was playing a game.
239
00:12:39.715 --> 00:12:42.196
Cool. How do you play?
240
00:12:42.283 --> 00:12:46.374
Well, you take a stranger
241
00:12:46.461 --> 00:12:50.465
and you try to figure out what
they're like and who they are.
242
00:12:50.552 --> 00:12:53.990
-Sounds weird.
-You're right, it is.
243
00:12:54.077 --> 00:12:57.907
But it helps me come up
with characters. I'm a writer.
244
00:12:57.994 --> 00:12:59.430
No way. I'm a writer, too!
245
00:12:59.517 --> 00:13:01.128
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
246
00:13:01.215 --> 00:13:03.521
Well, in that case,
247
00:13:03.565 --> 00:13:06.089
how about you help me
and tell me how I'm doing?
248
00:13:06.176 --> 00:13:07.612
-Sure.
-Okay.
249
00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:10.311
Matt over here, Bob's son,
250
00:13:10.398 --> 00:13:14.054
he's rugged and romantic,
complex, yet invaluable.
251
00:13:14.141 --> 00:13:16.665
He's the kind of guy
that would brave snowstorms
252
00:13:16.752 --> 00:13:19.189
to save his one true love.
253
00:13:19.276 --> 00:13:22.323
So what do you think?
254
00:13:22.410 --> 00:13:23.933
What do we have here?
255
00:13:26.196 --> 00:13:28.808
Uh...
256
00:13:30.984 --> 00:13:33.856
-Hi again.
-Hi.
257
00:13:33.943 --> 00:13:36.293
Kacey, you're not bothering
one of our guests, are you?
258
00:13:36.380 --> 00:13:38.513
We were actually
just playing a...
259
00:13:40.254 --> 00:13:41.995
-Wait, is she your daughter?
-Yeah.
260
00:13:42.038 --> 00:13:44.519
Still my daughter? Yeah.
261
00:13:44.606 --> 00:13:47.827
Dad, you know,
Izzi's a writer, too.
262
00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:52.092
I am, indeed.
A romance novelist.
263
00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:53.528
And she was spying on you
before.
264
00:13:53.615 --> 00:13:55.704
-Huh?
-Okay, that is my cue.
265
00:13:55.791 --> 00:13:58.576
And I'm gonna leave now.
266
00:13:58.620 --> 00:14:00.709
-Your editor calling?
-Yeah, probably.
267
00:14:00.796 --> 00:14:02.189
You know what they say
about editors.
268
00:14:02.276 --> 00:14:03.886
They need to be called back.
269
00:14:03.973 --> 00:14:06.889
So, um, I'll see you around
the lodge.
270
00:14:06.933 --> 00:14:10.327
-Chalet.
The lodge.
271
00:14:10.414 --> 00:14:12.590
Sign says chalet.
272
00:14:12.634 --> 00:14:14.941
Did you get the photo?
273
00:14:15.028 --> 00:14:16.768
-Uh-huh.
-Well?
274
00:14:16.856 --> 00:14:18.770
You weren't kidding.
275
00:14:18.858 --> 00:14:20.860
I mean, yes,
Desmond's a painting
276
00:14:20.947 --> 00:14:25.038
and he's younger and more buff,
277
00:14:25.125 --> 00:14:26.996
but, yeah.
278
00:14:28.128 --> 00:14:29.607
They're basically identical.
279
00:14:29.651 --> 00:14:31.609
There has to be an explanation.
280
00:14:31.696 --> 00:14:33.873
I mean, can you ask Bianca?
281
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.179
Maybe she used Matt
as inspiration.
282
00:14:36.266 --> 00:14:38.442
Well, Bianca didn't create
the original art.
283
00:14:38.486 --> 00:14:40.227
She took over
after your first book.
284
00:14:40.314 --> 00:14:41.402
Oh.
285
00:14:41.489 --> 00:14:42.882
Well, can you try to track down
286
00:14:42.969 --> 00:14:44.274
the original artist?
287
00:14:44.318 --> 00:14:46.973
I'll dig, you write.
288
00:14:47.060 --> 00:14:49.410
Okay. Bye.
-Talk soon.
289
00:14:51.455 --> 00:14:55.807
Is it just me or is, uh,
your favorite guest interesting?
290
00:14:55.895 --> 00:14:58.941
Izzi? Well, if you mean that as
a compliment, then, yes, she is.
291
00:14:59.028 --> 00:15:01.465
Hello, Bob, Matthew.
292
00:15:01.509 --> 00:15:04.294
-Hey, Jennifer.
-Jennifer Whitaker.
293
00:15:04.338 --> 00:15:06.209
What a figure!
294
00:15:06.296 --> 00:15:07.907
Thank you.
-You're welcome.
295
00:15:07.994 --> 00:15:09.299
-Been a while. Hey.
-Hi.
296
00:15:09.386 --> 00:15:10.953
How are you?
297
00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:13.129
Good. How are you settling in?
298
00:15:13.216 --> 00:15:15.479
-Is it good to be back home?
-Yeah, I'm settling.
299
00:15:15.566 --> 00:15:16.959
And, yeah, no,
it's good-good to be back.
300
00:15:17.046 --> 00:15:18.613
Get to spend some time
with the old man.
301
00:15:18.656 --> 00:15:21.442
Who are you callin' old, huh?
302
00:15:21.529 --> 00:15:24.967
Most importantly, uh,
Kacey seems to like it, so...
303
00:15:25.054 --> 00:15:28.449
-Oh, good. I'm glad to hear it.
-Yeah.
304
00:15:28.536 --> 00:15:31.278
Uh, so what brings you by?
305
00:15:31.365 --> 00:15:35.935
Well, I noticed that you don't
have lights up outside yet.
306
00:15:36.022 --> 00:15:37.545
Don't forget that our annual
307
00:15:37.632 --> 00:15:39.460
Christmas Lights
Of Silver Springs Festival
308
00:15:39.503 --> 00:15:41.288
is coming up on Christmas Eve.
309
00:15:41.375 --> 00:15:43.029
Oh, you mean the competition
310
00:15:43.072 --> 00:15:44.987
every business on Main Street
participates in
311
00:15:45.074 --> 00:15:46.989
that my dad hasn't won
in over a decade?
312
00:15:47.076 --> 00:15:49.600
-Never heard of it.
-Please.
313
00:15:51.385 --> 00:15:53.735
I got a plan. I got a plan.
Don't worry.
314
00:15:53.822 --> 00:15:56.129
Just, uh, keepin' it
close to the chest.
315
00:15:56.216 --> 00:15:59.132
Ooh. I like that.
316
00:16:00.742 --> 00:16:03.397
Well, I'll let you
get back to it.
317
00:16:03.484 --> 00:16:06.052
-See you around.
-Yeah.
318
00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:07.618
-Buh-bye.
See you, Bob.
319
00:16:07.705 --> 00:16:09.969
-Thanks for stopping by.
-Of course.
320
00:16:12.319 --> 00:16:14.712
Jennifer Whitaker. Wow.
321
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.541
-Mathew?
-Yup.
322
00:16:17.628 --> 00:16:21.154
You know that Jennifer judges
the lights competition.
323
00:16:21.241 --> 00:16:22.764
-Right?
-And?
324
00:16:22.851 --> 00:16:25.506
She's had a crush on you
since high school.
325
00:16:25.549 --> 00:16:27.638
-Dad.
-It could help our chances.
326
00:16:27.725 --> 00:16:30.076
Dad, please. Um...
327
00:16:30.163 --> 00:16:32.165
Son, you've been single
for three years--
328
00:16:32.252 --> 00:16:34.950
Dad, we talked about this.
329
00:16:35.037 --> 00:16:37.779
No, we haven't talked
about this.
330
00:16:37.866 --> 00:16:40.608
-Plus, I got a plan.
-I've seen some of your plans.
331
00:16:40.695 --> 00:16:43.089
-Sticking to the plan.
-All right.
332
00:16:43.176 --> 00:16:47.049
♪ And I said ride on Santa
won't you ride on now ♪
333
00:16:47.136 --> 00:16:49.356
♪ Ride on
Santa won't you ride on now.. ♪
334
00:16:49.443 --> 00:16:51.532
Izzi, you're here!
335
00:16:51.619 --> 00:16:53.969
-Christmas can officially begin.
-Yay!
336
00:16:54.056 --> 00:16:57.364
This place is popping,
everyone's here for Christmas.
337
00:16:57.451 --> 00:16:59.714
I've got something for you.
338
00:16:59.801 --> 00:17:01.542
They're your favorite.
Oatmeal raisin.
339
00:17:01.629 --> 00:17:02.804
I put them aside for you.
340
00:17:02.891 --> 00:17:05.937
Oh. This is so thoughtful.
341
00:17:05.981 --> 00:17:08.288
-Thank you.
-Well, come, talk with me.
342
00:17:10.029 --> 00:17:11.334
How's your wife Parker?
343
00:17:11.421 --> 00:17:14.033
-And Timmy?
-Gosh. They're so great!
344
00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:16.948
Timmy's almost ten,
if you can believe it.
345
00:17:17.036 --> 00:17:18.950
Wow.
346
00:17:19.038 --> 00:17:21.431
Hey, why have you
never mentioned
347
00:17:21.518 --> 00:17:23.781
your mystery brother, Matt,
from Seattle?
348
00:17:23.868 --> 00:17:25.653
The one who never
spends Christmas
349
00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:28.395
at the second-most
Christmas-y place in the world.
350
00:17:28.438 --> 00:17:29.744
-Second?
-North Pole.
351
00:17:29.831 --> 00:17:31.963
Oh. Right.
352
00:17:32.051 --> 00:17:34.009
I'm guessing
you two finally met.
353
00:17:34.096 --> 00:17:36.707
Yeah, and he reminds me of...
354
00:17:38.057 --> 00:17:39.406
an old friend.
355
00:17:39.493 --> 00:17:41.756
Really?
And what's this friend like?
356
00:17:41.843 --> 00:17:45.760
Oh, you know, he's romantic,
357
00:17:45.803 --> 00:17:48.023
heroic and handsome.
358
00:17:48.110 --> 00:17:49.807
Uh, question.
359
00:17:49.894 --> 00:17:51.853
Why does any of that
remind you of Matt?
360
00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:53.246
You again.
361
00:17:56.597 --> 00:17:59.426
I'm not stalking you,
although, I was here first,
362
00:17:59.513 --> 00:18:01.602
so, technically,
that would make you the stalker.
363
00:18:01.689 --> 00:18:03.647
If you say so.
364
00:18:03.734 --> 00:18:06.433
-Parker will be here any minute.
-Great.
365
00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:08.087
Oatmeal raisin?
366
00:18:08.174 --> 00:18:09.784
Out of all the cookies here,
that's,
367
00:18:09.871 --> 00:18:11.090
that's the one you picked?
368
00:18:11.177 --> 00:18:12.091
What's wrong
with oatmeal raisin?
369
00:18:12.178 --> 00:18:13.527
It's my favorite.
370
00:18:13.614 --> 00:18:16.486
Soft and chewy,
slight crisp on the edges.
371
00:18:16.573 --> 00:18:19.228
Loaded with oats,
studded with raisins.
372
00:18:19.315 --> 00:18:21.926
You really are a writer.
That was beautiful.
373
00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:24.451
Anyway, not a fan of raisins.
374
00:18:26.583 --> 00:18:30.239
You're right. Desmond would
never cookie-shame Catarina.
375
00:18:32.372 --> 00:18:34.939
I've gotta go.
I have some writing to do.
376
00:18:35.026 --> 00:18:36.463
See you all later.
377
00:18:36.985 --> 00:18:38.247
Bye.
378
00:18:39.770 --> 00:18:41.772
Uh...
379
00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:44.688
-Who? Who's Desmond?
-I don't know.
380
00:18:44.732 --> 00:18:47.169
Let's get you a cookie.
381
00:18:47.213 --> 00:18:49.476
-Nice to see ya.
-Good to see you, too.
382
00:18:49.563 --> 00:18:53.262
♪ It's snowing it's blowing
this storm has got me going ♪
383
00:18:53.349 --> 00:18:54.829
♪ It's howling on... ♪
384
00:18:54.872 --> 00:18:57.048
How's dad?
Still working too much?
385
00:18:57.136 --> 00:18:59.007
I know he's ready to hand over
the reins, but I don't think
386
00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:00.313
he knows
what to do with himself
387
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.228
if he's not running the B&B.
388
00:19:02.271 --> 00:19:05.318
Well, the B&B has been his life
for the last 40 years.
389
00:19:05.361 --> 00:19:08.321
-It's a big change.
-I know.
390
00:19:08.408 --> 00:19:10.105
Ah, there's my boy.
391
00:19:10.192 --> 00:19:11.846
-Hey, hon. Hey, Matt.
Hey.
392
00:19:11.933 --> 00:19:13.239
Thanks for taking Kacey
to the movies.
393
00:19:13.326 --> 00:19:14.762
Still got a lot of work to do
this afternoon.
394
00:19:14.849 --> 00:19:17.156
Oh, no prob.
It's my favorite place to nap.
395
00:19:17.243 --> 00:19:18.983
-Thank you.
396
00:19:19.070 --> 00:19:21.986
Okay, let's go, cookie monsters.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
397
00:19:22.073 --> 00:19:23.379
Hm, have fun.
-Bye.
398
00:19:23.466 --> 00:19:25.033
-Bye! Love you, too.
-Love you.
399
00:19:25.120 --> 00:19:26.817
I'll get Thai
for dinner tonight, babe.
400
00:19:26.904 --> 00:19:28.384
Yeah. You know,
I should get back to work.
401
00:19:28.428 --> 00:19:29.907
Are you ordering anything
402
00:19:29.994 --> 00:19:32.214
or are you gonna make room
for my paying customers?
403
00:19:32.301 --> 00:19:33.868
Well, do I at least get
the big-brother discount?
404
00:19:33.911 --> 00:19:35.174
Uh, you're my little brother.
405
00:19:35.261 --> 00:19:36.610
Well, it doesn't feel that way.
406
00:19:36.697 --> 00:19:38.089
Probably
my innate leadership skills,
407
00:19:38.177 --> 00:19:40.527
my trailblazing spirit.
408
00:19:40.614 --> 00:19:42.529
In that case,
here's another new one for ya.
409
00:19:42.616 --> 00:19:43.834
Pay full price.
410
00:19:43.921 --> 00:19:45.227
Out of the generosity
of my heart,
411
00:19:45.314 --> 00:19:47.403
I will pay full price,
and tip a nickel.
412
00:19:47.447 --> 00:19:49.275
Oh. Really? Come on.
413
00:20:06.335 --> 00:20:07.945
Hi again.
414
00:20:07.989 --> 00:20:10.731
Uh, do you mind? Full house.
415
00:20:10.818 --> 00:20:13.560
-Um, no. Go ahead.
-Thanks.
416
00:20:16.693 --> 00:20:18.782
We don't even have to do
the whole small-talk thing
417
00:20:18.869 --> 00:20:20.219
if you don't want to.
418
00:20:20.306 --> 00:20:23.265
No. Talking is fine.
419
00:20:23.352 --> 00:20:24.614
-Oh, okay.
-Oh.
420
00:20:24.701 --> 00:20:27.530
That is the second day
in a row.
421
00:20:27.617 --> 00:20:29.445
-Clumsy, huh?
-In my defense...
422
00:20:29.532 --> 00:20:32.056
Yesterday I almost got run over.
423
00:20:32.143 --> 00:20:33.841
Oh, it was probably
some teenager
424
00:20:33.928 --> 00:20:36.800
who just got their license.
Classic Chad.
425
00:20:36.844 --> 00:20:37.932
-Tad.
-Brock.
426
00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:39.716
-Tanner.
-Bryan.
427
00:20:39.803 --> 00:20:41.240
That's a normal name.
428
00:20:43.198 --> 00:20:46.245
Anyway, I was just saying
to Sarah how funny it was
429
00:20:46.288 --> 00:20:48.159
that you and I have never met.
430
00:20:48.203 --> 00:20:49.117
Well, we used
to spend the holidays
431
00:20:49.204 --> 00:20:50.423
with Kacey's mom's family.
432
00:20:50.466 --> 00:20:51.902
Since Silver Springs
does their big
433
00:20:51.989 --> 00:20:53.643
Christmas in July celebration,
434
00:20:53.730 --> 00:20:57.125
we'd come back for that,
you know, double up.
435
00:20:57.212 --> 00:21:00.084
-I bet Kacey loved that.
-Oh, you have no idea.
436
00:21:00.128 --> 00:21:02.348
So what did you do in Seattle?
437
00:21:02.435 --> 00:21:04.480
Well, I was the manager
of a big hotel.
438
00:21:04.567 --> 00:21:05.655
What brought you back
to Silver Springs?
439
00:21:05.742 --> 00:21:06.917
Your dad's retirement?
440
00:21:06.961 --> 00:21:08.832
Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.
441
00:21:08.919 --> 00:21:10.834
I-I thought it would be good
to slow things down a little,
442
00:21:10.921 --> 00:21:14.142
be closer to family,
especially for Kacey.
443
00:21:14.229 --> 00:21:17.537
Ultimately, I just want
what's best for her.
444
00:21:17.624 --> 00:21:19.626
Hey, speaking
of my dad retiring,
445
00:21:19.713 --> 00:21:22.498
he and I were discussing
how you seemed concerned
446
00:21:22.585 --> 00:21:25.022
with the updates
I've been making.
447
00:21:25.066 --> 00:21:27.547
-Antler Lodge is perfect as is.
-Uh...
448
00:21:27.634 --> 00:21:30.332
Antler Chalet will be even more
perfect when I'm done with it.
449
00:21:30.419 --> 00:21:32.203
Well, not if you keep...
450
00:21:32.291 --> 00:21:35.424
Wait, did you say
that you were talking about me?
451
00:21:35.511 --> 00:21:37.208
I mean, we, well, we...
452
00:21:37.252 --> 00:21:40.124
We were talking about one
of our customers' complaints.
453
00:21:40.211 --> 00:21:43.214
I would say constructive
criticism is more accurate.
454
00:21:43.302 --> 00:21:45.391
Well, your constructive
criticism has been noted.
455
00:21:45.478 --> 00:21:48.959
And on that note,
I should get back to work.
456
00:21:49.046 --> 00:21:50.918
Oh, don't worry,
we're not bulldozing the B&B
457
00:21:51.005 --> 00:21:53.137
for a strip mall
till next Tuesday.
458
00:21:53.224 --> 00:21:55.488
-Cute.
-I know.
459
00:21:57.533 --> 00:21:58.839
-Bye.
-Bye.
460
00:22:17.379 --> 00:22:18.598
Yes.
461
00:22:19.816 --> 00:22:22.558
Okay, pivotal scene.
462
00:22:22.645 --> 00:22:25.735
Surrounded by stars,
463
00:22:25.822 --> 00:22:29.957
Desmond and Catarina sit snugly
on the chairlift.
464
00:22:30.044 --> 00:22:34.918
Catarina admires
the picturesque ski lodge below.
465
00:22:44.798 --> 00:22:46.669
-Hi, mom!
-Hi, sweetie.
466
00:22:46.756 --> 00:22:48.236
Did you make it
to Silver Springs?
467
00:22:48.323 --> 00:22:50.238
Yeah, I'm just working on
468
00:22:50.325 --> 00:22:52.936
the art
of candy-cane balancing.
469
00:22:53.023 --> 00:22:54.373
Writer's block hasn't lifted?
470
00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:56.984
Not yet.
How's Boca Raton?
471
00:22:57.071 --> 00:22:59.769
The least Christmas-y place
in the world.
472
00:22:59.856 --> 00:23:02.250
Well, last night
we went to a boat parade.
473
00:23:02.293 --> 00:23:05.122
Yeah, talk about the proper
usage of the word float.
474
00:23:05.209 --> 00:23:08.038
He's literally said that
400 times since last night.
475
00:23:09.649 --> 00:23:11.433
How's the golf going, dad?
476
00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:15.089
Oh, mom didn't tell ya?
I've gone pro.
477
00:23:15.176 --> 00:23:17.787
Hey, listen,
if this is a work trip,
478
00:23:17.874 --> 00:23:19.615
don't forget
to keep all your receipts.
479
00:23:19.659 --> 00:23:20.573
Here we go.
480
00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:21.617
We almost made it through
481
00:23:21.704 --> 00:23:22.705
an entire conversation
482
00:23:22.792 --> 00:23:23.837
without dad bringing up
483
00:23:23.924 --> 00:23:24.968
the receipts.
484
00:23:25.055 --> 00:23:26.100
Honey, honey, honey.
485
00:23:26.187 --> 00:23:27.406
Whether you buy a cup of coffee
486
00:23:27.449 --> 00:23:28.711
or buy a new pair of boots,
487
00:23:28.798 --> 00:23:30.147
everything can be considered
488
00:23:30.234 --> 00:23:31.279
inspiration for the book.
489
00:23:31.366 --> 00:23:33.237
So keep your receipts
490
00:23:33.324 --> 00:23:34.761
and write them off.
491
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:37.981
You know what?
492
00:23:38.068 --> 00:23:39.940
Maybe you're right, dad.
493
00:23:40.027 --> 00:23:41.594
Everything around me
is inspiration.
494
00:23:41.681 --> 00:23:43.596
It's just a matter
of perspective.
495
00:23:43.683 --> 00:23:45.554
-I should go.
-Already?
496
00:23:45.641 --> 00:23:48.165
-Are you getting enough sleep?
-Okay, I gotta go.
497
00:23:48.252 --> 00:23:50.385
Okay, well,
don't work too hard, sweetie.
498
00:23:50.472 --> 00:23:52.561
-I should go, mom.
-Okay. We love you!
499
00:23:52.648 --> 00:23:54.128
-Okay. I love you.
-Okay. Big kiss.
500
00:23:54.215 --> 00:23:55.782
I miss you, okay? I have to go.
501
00:23:55.825 --> 00:23:58.001
Okay. We love you.
Mwah, mwah, mwah.
502
00:23:58.088 --> 00:23:59.612
Mom! Bye.
503
00:24:09.230 --> 00:24:10.884
Then Desmond says,
504
00:24:10.971 --> 00:24:13.016
"Don't worry,
I'm not bulldozing it
505
00:24:13.060 --> 00:24:15.758
to build a strip mall
until next Tuesday."
506
00:24:32.775 --> 00:24:35.822
Mulled cider
was an integral part
507
00:24:35.909 --> 00:24:37.737
of the wassailing tradition.
508
00:24:37.780 --> 00:24:41.218
Back in medieval England,
during Christmastide,
509
00:24:41.305 --> 00:24:43.220
people would go door-to-door,
510
00:24:43.264 --> 00:24:46.354
singing and offering
a drink of warm apple cider
511
00:24:46.441 --> 00:24:49.836
from the wassailing bowl
in exchange for gifts.
512
00:24:49.923 --> 00:24:53.187
And this was an early form
of Christmas caroling.
513
00:24:53.274 --> 00:24:54.623
Yes!
514
00:24:54.710 --> 00:24:56.712
Are you going to sing for us
again this year?
515
00:24:56.756 --> 00:25:00.020
-It's under consideration.
516
00:25:00.107 --> 00:25:02.979
So are you really willing
to give all this up?
517
00:25:03.066 --> 00:25:04.981
Oh, this part? No way.
518
00:25:05.068 --> 00:25:06.548
But the rest of it,
the bookkeeping,
519
00:25:06.635 --> 00:25:08.202
the maintenance, and all that,
520
00:25:08.289 --> 00:25:09.943
yeah, I think I've had my fill.
521
00:25:10.030 --> 00:25:12.815
Understood. So what's next?
522
00:25:14.948 --> 00:25:16.471
-No clue.
-Well...
523
00:25:16.558 --> 00:25:19.082
I'm sure
you'll figure out something.
524
00:25:19.126 --> 00:25:21.520
Dad, Izzi, refill?
525
00:25:21.607 --> 00:25:23.913
-Oh, no, thanks, I'm good.
-I'm good, too.
526
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.828
-Have fun.
-Thanks.
527
00:25:28.265 --> 00:25:30.746
Uh, for the record,
still not stalking you.
528
00:25:30.790 --> 00:25:32.400
You could've fooled me.
529
00:25:33.923 --> 00:25:35.882
Nothing like hot cider
on a cold night, huh?
530
00:25:35.925 --> 00:25:37.927
It's the best.
531
00:25:38.014 --> 00:25:39.886
-Hey, Matt.
-Hey.
532
00:25:39.973 --> 00:25:42.715
-I have to take off.
-Oh.
533
00:25:42.802 --> 00:25:44.455
Yeah, I swear,
being on the town board
534
00:25:44.499 --> 00:25:47.720
during the holidays
is like a 24-7 job.
535
00:25:47.807 --> 00:25:50.549
-Hi. I'm Jennifer.
-Izzi.
536
00:25:50.592 --> 00:25:52.768
I think we met last Christmas.
537
00:25:52.855 --> 00:25:55.989
Actually, I think I met,
I met you here.
538
00:25:56.076 --> 00:25:57.817
-At the happy hour.
-Oh, really?
539
00:25:57.904 --> 00:26:00.950
Yeah. I'm pretty certain.
Actually I'm a hundred percent.
540
00:26:01.037 --> 00:26:03.692
Well, it's great
to see you again.
541
00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:05.085
Aren't all the improvements
Matt's making
542
00:26:05.128 --> 00:26:07.478
to the B&B fantastic?
543
00:26:07.522 --> 00:26:09.916
Oh, I have already chatted
Matt's ear off
544
00:26:10.003 --> 00:26:12.396
about all the improvements.
545
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.441
-Yeah.
546
00:26:13.484 --> 00:26:15.965
Okay then.
547
00:26:16.052 --> 00:26:18.968
Matt, can I talk to you
for a second?
548
00:26:19.055 --> 00:26:21.101
Sure. Yeah.
549
00:26:21.144 --> 00:26:22.406
Excuse me.
550
00:26:26.846 --> 00:26:27.890
Izzi.
551
00:26:30.023 --> 00:26:32.503
So what do you think?
552
00:26:32.591 --> 00:26:35.332
-Let's do it.
-Yeah. Let's sing.
553
00:26:38.771 --> 00:26:42.949

Hurrah!

Oh.
567
00:27:43.270 --> 00:27:47.361
Cheeks still pink from the cold,
Catarina shivers.
568
00:27:47.448 --> 00:27:49.450
Desmond hands her a mug.
569
00:27:49.537 --> 00:27:50.930
"Here," he says.
570
00:27:51.017 --> 00:27:54.673
"Nothing like hot cider
on a cold night."
571
00:28:08.164 --> 00:28:10.906
Oh, it's you.
572
00:28:10.950 --> 00:28:13.082
I thought
Rudolph was having a stroke.
573
00:28:13.169 --> 00:28:15.563
Ha-ha, you know, it's supposed
to project the light show
574
00:28:15.606 --> 00:28:17.913
on the side of the B&B.
575
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.089
Hm.
576
00:28:20.133 --> 00:28:21.438
Okay,
when it's all set up properly,
577
00:28:21.482 --> 00:28:24.615
it is going to look awesome.
578
00:28:24.703 --> 00:28:27.183
My dad, he takes the Lights
Festival very serious,
579
00:28:27.270 --> 00:28:28.228
as I'm sure you know.
580
00:28:28.315 --> 00:28:30.143
Oh, I know.
581
00:28:30.230 --> 00:28:31.622
He doesn't seem like someone
582
00:28:31.710 --> 00:28:33.973
who's into
the whole Christmas rave look.
583
00:28:34.016 --> 00:28:36.453
He usually goes
with string lights every year.
584
00:28:36.497 --> 00:28:37.803
Yeah. And every year
he doesn't win.
585
00:28:37.890 --> 00:28:39.805
So I'm trying something new.
586
00:28:39.848 --> 00:28:41.981
Which I'm sure
you have an opinion about.
587
00:28:42.068 --> 00:28:45.288
I don't know, I just, I feel
like you can't beat a classic.
588
00:28:45.375 --> 00:28:47.421
Oh, no, don't worry,
I got a master plan.
589
00:28:47.508 --> 00:28:49.379
Have you seen the bookstore?
590
00:28:49.466 --> 00:28:51.077
Icicle lights,
sleigh on the roof?
591
00:28:51.164 --> 00:28:52.731
You can imagine exactly
what that's gonna look like
592
00:28:52.818 --> 00:28:54.733
when it's all lit up.
It's anti-climactic.
593
00:28:54.776 --> 00:28:56.691
-Maybe you're right.
-Yeah.
594
00:28:56.778 --> 00:28:57.953
I'm just testing out
this bad boy,
595
00:28:57.997 --> 00:28:59.215
but I'm waiting
until Christmas Eve
596
00:28:59.302 --> 00:29:00.695
to set it all up.
597
00:29:00.782 --> 00:29:03.263
That way I don't show my hand
prematurely.
598
00:29:03.350 --> 00:29:05.961
You have definitely given this
a lot of thought.
599
00:29:06.048 --> 00:29:09.312
It'll all be worth it
when I'm accepting my trophy.
600
00:29:09.356 --> 00:29:11.924
There's no trophy, but sure.
601
00:29:12.011 --> 00:29:14.143
-No trophy?
-Well, have a good night.
602
00:29:14.187 --> 00:29:15.318
Goodnight.
603
00:29:15.405 --> 00:29:17.799
I didn't know you could sing.
604
00:29:17.843 --> 00:29:19.496
How would you know?
605
00:29:19.583 --> 00:29:21.542
We're just
getting to know each other.
606
00:29:22.543 --> 00:29:24.850
Yeah. I guess we are.
607
00:29:24.937 --> 00:29:27.200
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
608
00:29:30.072 --> 00:29:33.032
Yup. It's in the bag.
609
00:29:37.123 --> 00:29:38.298
Oh.
610
00:29:45.479 --> 00:29:49.831
Okay. I think
this piece goes right there.
611
00:29:49.918 --> 00:29:52.486
-Yup.
-How about this one?
612
00:29:52.573 --> 00:29:53.704
Sweet.
613
00:29:53.792 --> 00:29:56.011
Whoo. Got it.
614
00:29:56.098 --> 00:29:58.622
I like living with you, grandpa.
Do you have to move out?
615
00:29:58.709 --> 00:30:01.016
Ah. Don't worry,
I won't go far away.
616
00:30:01.103 --> 00:30:03.410
You're gonna see me
all the time.
617
00:30:03.497 --> 00:30:06.456
But who am I gonna watch
Jimmy Fallon with?
618
00:30:06.543 --> 00:30:08.502
Jimmy Fallon?
He's on a little late for you.
619
00:30:08.589 --> 00:30:10.678
-Isn't he?
-Jimmy who?
620
00:30:15.248 --> 00:30:17.163
How's the laser show
comin' along?
621
00:30:17.250 --> 00:30:20.427
Uh, it's a work in progress,
but it's gonna look great.
622
00:30:20.514 --> 00:30:22.733
Trust me.
Okay, princess.
623
00:30:22.821 --> 00:30:25.475
-Come on, time for bed.
-It's my bedtime, too.
624
00:30:25.562 --> 00:30:26.955
Sure you don't want me
to stay on the couch?
625
00:30:27.042 --> 00:30:28.000
Answer's still no.
626
00:30:28.087 --> 00:30:29.784
Bed, bed, bed. Come on.
627
00:30:29.871 --> 00:30:31.742
Listen, I've been looking at
this little cabin just outside
628
00:30:31.786 --> 00:30:33.875
of town, but it's been a little
busy with the holidays--
629
00:30:33.962 --> 00:30:36.791
Dad, dad, we talked about this.
This is your house.
630
00:30:36.878 --> 00:30:39.359
This cabin belongs
to the owner of the B&B.
631
00:30:39.402 --> 00:30:41.230
-And that's you now.
-Okay.
632
00:30:41.274 --> 00:30:42.928
And I couldn't be happier
about it.
633
00:30:43.015 --> 00:30:45.539
Still, take the bedroom.
634
00:30:45.626 --> 00:30:47.846
Okay. Fine!
635
00:30:48.977 --> 00:30:51.284
Ho! Here.
636
00:30:51.371 --> 00:30:54.591
-Tu-tu-tu-tu.
637
00:30:54.635 --> 00:30:56.593
Did you have fun
with your Cousin Timmy today?
638
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.379
Yeah. Aunt Parker let us make
paper snowflakes.
639
00:30:59.466 --> 00:31:02.251
Oh, I know this place
is smaller than our old house,
640
00:31:02.295 --> 00:31:05.124
but Silver Springs
is a great place to grow up.
641
00:31:05.211 --> 00:31:06.560
Yeah.
642
00:31:06.603 --> 00:31:07.778
I'm just trying to make
the best decisions
643
00:31:07.866 --> 00:31:09.911
for your future, okay?
644
00:31:09.998 --> 00:31:13.349
-Our future.
-Oh. That's right.
645
00:31:14.437 --> 00:31:16.091
Bop. Bop. Bop.
646
00:31:16.135 --> 00:31:19.965
Tch. Pshoo.
647
00:31:20.052 --> 00:31:21.618
-Love you, kiddo.
-Love you.
648
00:31:21.705 --> 00:31:22.837
All right. Sleep tight.
649
00:31:43.553 --> 00:31:46.121
At least I made it to the bed.
650
00:31:48.428 --> 00:31:50.865
-Hi.
-Good morning, Kacey.
651
00:31:50.952 --> 00:31:52.823
Welcome, everyone.
652
00:31:52.911 --> 00:31:55.870
Our tradition
is for returning guests
653
00:31:55.957 --> 00:31:57.741
to bring an ornament
from somewhere in the world
654
00:31:57.785 --> 00:31:59.482
that they have traveled.
655
00:31:59.526 --> 00:32:01.832
If you're new, don't worry,
656
00:32:01.876 --> 00:32:05.924
we have plenty from years past
in the boxes.
657
00:32:05.967 --> 00:32:07.664
-Happy decorating.
Oh, yes!
658
00:32:07.751 --> 00:32:10.450
-Welcome.
659
00:32:11.973 --> 00:32:13.279

-Hey.
-Hey.
663
00:32:25.944 --> 00:32:30.383
I think this one is mine.
664
00:32:30.470 --> 00:32:33.473
-Oh.
-Or one of my parents'.
665
00:32:33.560 --> 00:32:37.738
When they retired to Boca Raton,
they picked up a lot of hobbies.
666
00:32:37.825 --> 00:32:39.653
Oh, you never spend the holidays
with them in Florida?
667
00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:41.524
A hot and sandy Christmas?
668
00:32:41.611 --> 00:32:44.527
Christmas is too sacred to me.
669
00:32:44.614 --> 00:32:47.922
The decorating, the music,
the warmth of the fire
670
00:32:48.009 --> 00:32:50.055
after spending a day
in the snow...
671
00:32:50.142 --> 00:32:52.361
I wanna be here.
672
00:32:52.405 --> 00:32:53.884
Well, I'm happy you're here.
673
00:32:53.972 --> 00:32:58.367
I-I mean, we're happy
you're here at the B&B.
674
00:32:58.454 --> 00:32:59.716
You're like the Christmas queen.
675
00:32:59.760 --> 00:33:00.761
Would you be surprised
you're not
676
00:33:00.848 --> 00:33:02.415
the first person
to call me that?
677
00:33:02.502 --> 00:33:04.243
I'd be willing to bet on it.
678
00:33:04.330 --> 00:33:06.027
-Yeah.

00:33:18.518 --> 00:33:22.043
I feel like
it's missing something. Hm.
683
00:33:22.087 --> 00:33:26.569
How about... this?
684
00:33:26.613 --> 00:33:29.572
It's for the top of the tree.
Right, grandpa?
685
00:33:29.659 --> 00:33:32.010
Your mom made that for me
for Christmas
686
00:33:32.097 --> 00:33:33.881
the year you were born.
687
00:33:35.796 --> 00:33:37.058
I think
you should put it on top.
688
00:33:37.102 --> 00:33:38.451
I'm not tall enough.
689
00:33:38.538 --> 00:33:39.713
Of course you are.
You're seven-feet tall.
690
00:33:39.800 --> 00:33:42.020
Come here. Up.
691
00:33:43.630 --> 00:33:45.110
Get that done.
692
00:33:45.197 --> 00:33:47.721
-Ah.
Aha!
693
00:33:47.764 --> 00:33:52.552
-Wow.
-Now it's finished.
694
00:33:52.639 --> 00:33:55.511
Great job, Kacey.
I should head back.
695
00:33:55.598 --> 00:33:57.861
Those pages
aren't gonna write themselves.
696
00:33:57.948 --> 00:34:00.429
And I have a lot of rewriting
to do before my deadline.
697
00:34:03.084 --> 00:34:05.086
Izzi?
698
00:34:05.173 --> 00:34:07.958
Okay.
So you know how you're a writer?
699
00:34:08.046 --> 00:34:10.265
-In theory, yes.
-Okay.
700
00:34:10.352 --> 00:34:12.963
Well, I started writing a story,
701
00:34:13.007 --> 00:34:15.444
but I don't really know
what should happen next.
702
00:34:15.531 --> 00:34:16.663
Is that your story?
703
00:34:16.750 --> 00:34:18.578
-Can I see it?
-Yeah.
704
00:34:27.326 --> 00:34:30.851
"Once upon a time
there was a king and a princess.
705
00:34:30.938 --> 00:34:34.376
The two of them
lived in a great kingdom."
706
00:34:35.464 --> 00:34:36.770
That's all I have so far.
707
00:34:36.857 --> 00:34:38.424
I love it!
708
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.253
Sometimes the best ideas come
709
00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:43.994
from when you're trying
not so hard to think of them.
710
00:34:44.082 --> 00:34:46.388
When your head is clear.
711
00:34:46.475 --> 00:34:50.479
-Okay. Well, how do I do that?
-I like to get my body moving.
712
00:34:50.566 --> 00:34:53.656
Usually I'll go for a push
in my neighborhood.
713
00:34:53.743 --> 00:34:55.832
But since
we're in Silver Springs,
714
00:34:55.919 --> 00:34:58.792
I have an even better idea.
715
00:34:58.835 --> 00:35:01.011
-What?
-Bowling.
716
00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:04.493
My favorite lanes
are in Silver Springs.
717
00:35:04.537 --> 00:35:08.497
In fact, I think
I'm gonna go do that right now.
718
00:35:08.584 --> 00:35:11.196
But what if you get an idea
while you're bowling?
719
00:35:11.283 --> 00:35:14.329
Well,
I keep one of these on me.
720
00:35:14.373 --> 00:35:16.723
It's small enough
to fit in a pocket.
721
00:35:16.810 --> 00:35:19.682
You know what?
Why don't you have this one?
722
00:35:19.726 --> 00:35:22.511
-Serious?
-Serious.
723
00:35:22.555 --> 00:35:24.905
Good luck with it.
724
00:35:24.992 --> 00:35:27.299
-Thanks, Izzi.
-You're welcome, Kace.
725
00:35:33.957 --> 00:35:36.482
Oh, come on.
726
00:35:38.266 --> 00:35:41.008
What? This booking software.
727
00:35:44.620 --> 00:35:47.580
Dad, I think we should
clear our heads a little.
728
00:35:47.667 --> 00:35:49.886
Maybe move our bodies.
729
00:35:49.973 --> 00:35:52.150
I can't right now, princess.
I'm sorry.
730
00:35:54.108 --> 00:35:56.154
Booking software's
driving me cra...
731
00:36:00.636 --> 00:36:03.073
You know what? Yeah.
732
00:36:03.161 --> 00:36:05.163
Maybe break's a good idea
after all.
733
00:36:06.642 --> 00:36:09.036
-Okay.
-What do you wanna do?
734
00:36:13.562 --> 00:36:16.130
Yes! Yes!
735
00:36:16.217 --> 00:36:18.045
You know, for a writer,
you don't seem to do a lot
736
00:36:18.132 --> 00:36:19.089
of actual writing.
737
00:36:19.177 --> 00:36:20.090
You know, I was just thinking
738
00:36:20.178 --> 00:36:21.222
how much fun it would be
739
00:36:21.266 --> 00:36:22.484
to win against an opponent,
740
00:36:22.571 --> 00:36:25.183
and you magically arrived.
741
00:36:25.270 --> 00:36:26.967
-Batter up.
-Uh, that's not...
742
00:36:27.054 --> 00:36:29.883
-That's the wrong sport.
-It's kick-off time.
743
00:36:32.451 --> 00:36:33.756
Yeah.
744
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:35.802
-Oh, okay.
745
00:36:35.889 --> 00:36:36.890
-Nice shot.
-Pretty close.
746
00:36:36.933 --> 00:36:39.066
Way to go!
747
00:36:39.153 --> 00:36:41.111
She has an adventurous spirit.
748
00:36:41.155 --> 00:36:44.071
Yeah.
She gets that from her mother.
749
00:36:44.158 --> 00:36:47.117
Are you two... Or is she...
750
00:36:47.205 --> 00:36:51.252
Uh, she, she passed away
three years ago this summer.
751
00:36:51.296 --> 00:36:54.777
-Oh, I'm so sorry.
-Yeah, thanks.
752
00:36:54.864 --> 00:36:58.390
Uh, that was rough,
but I think we're finally,
753
00:36:58.433 --> 00:37:00.392
finally figuring out
a new normal.
754
00:37:01.610 --> 00:37:03.569
You should see my French braid.
755
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.225
-Nice shot, Kacey.
-Yeah!
756
00:37:07.312 --> 00:37:10.402
Great job.
All right, you're up.
757
00:37:10.489 --> 00:37:12.969
I'm up. I'm up. I'm up.
758
00:37:13.013 --> 00:37:16.886
♪ Think of anything better
759
00:37:16.973 --> 00:37:19.976
-Ooh!
-Oh. Impressive.
760
00:37:20.063 --> 00:37:23.806
That'll for sure
get on the highlight reel, dad.
761
00:37:23.893 --> 00:37:25.330
Ha-ha. Laugh it up.
762
00:37:25.417 --> 00:37:28.158
-Got any pointers?
I just might.
763
00:37:28.202 --> 00:37:30.465
All right, make sure
you keep your hand straight
764
00:37:30.509 --> 00:37:32.162
when you swing the ball
back and out.
765
00:37:32.250 --> 00:37:34.164
You've gotta follow through.
766
00:37:34.252 --> 00:37:36.602
And you wanna bring your hand
shoulder-height
767
00:37:36.689 --> 00:37:39.344
after you let go of the ball.
Okay?
768
00:37:39.431 --> 00:37:42.477
Now, if you're me,
you do your own thing.
769
00:37:42.564 --> 00:37:44.392
But you've got this.
770
00:37:45.872 --> 00:37:46.873
-Oh, yeah.
-Okay?
771
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:48.788
Shoulder-height. Copy that.
772
00:38:01.235 --> 00:38:02.845
-Yes! Whoa!
-Oh!
773
00:38:02.932 --> 00:38:04.673
Did you see that? Did you...
774
00:38:04.717 --> 00:38:06.153
-Yes!
Matt?
775
00:38:06.196 --> 00:38:07.502
-Hey, Jennifer.
776
00:38:07.589 --> 00:38:08.982
What are the chances?
777
00:38:09.069 --> 00:38:10.679
-Oh, hi.
-Hi.
778
00:38:10.723 --> 00:38:12.507
Izzi, good to see you again.
779
00:38:12.594 --> 00:38:13.726
Nice to see you, too.
780
00:38:15.467 --> 00:38:17.686
So is this
a new Antler Chalet activity?
781
00:38:17.773 --> 00:38:19.514
-Christmas bowling?
-Oh, no.
782
00:38:19.601 --> 00:38:22.604
Kacey just convinced me
to take a break.
783
00:38:22.691 --> 00:38:24.040
-What about you?
-Same.
784
00:38:24.084 --> 00:38:25.999
-Just meeting some friends.
-Oh, yeah?
785
00:38:29.394 --> 00:38:30.525
-You good?
-Yeah.
786
00:38:30.569 --> 00:38:32.875
It's good to see you again
so soon.
787
00:38:32.962 --> 00:38:34.834
-Yeah, this is a small town.
-Yeah.
788
00:38:37.315 --> 00:38:38.446
-Whoa!
Yes!
789
00:38:38.533 --> 00:38:40.535
-Strike! That was...
-Go, Izzi!
790
00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:42.537
Strike.
791
00:38:42.581 --> 00:38:45.671
I mean,
that was good follow through.
792
00:38:49.457 --> 00:38:51.024
If you're calling to tell me
you're extending
793
00:38:51.111 --> 00:38:52.330
my deadline, I accept.
794
00:38:52.373 --> 00:38:53.983
Going that well, huh?
795
00:38:54.070 --> 00:38:55.420
Let's just say
I'm still waiting
796
00:38:55.463 --> 00:38:57.552
on the mountain air
to inspire me.
797
00:38:57.596 --> 00:38:58.945
I see.
798
00:38:59.032 --> 00:38:59.946
I went bowling last night
799
00:39:00.033 --> 00:39:01.034
to try to clear my head,
800
00:39:01.077 --> 00:39:02.383
but it didn't work.
801
00:39:02.427 --> 00:39:03.776
Let's try thinking
outside the box.
802
00:39:03.863 --> 00:39:05.038
Okay.
803
00:39:05.125 --> 00:39:06.953
Remember, your hero
804
00:39:07.040 --> 00:39:10.086
doesn't always have to save
the damsel in distress.
805
00:39:10.173 --> 00:39:13.742
-Like, they support each other?
-Okay.
806
00:39:13.829 --> 00:39:15.614
So I was bowling with Matt--
807
00:39:15.701 --> 00:39:18.530
You two went bowling? Together?
808
00:39:18.573 --> 00:39:20.358
Well, he showed up
when I was there.
809
00:39:20.445 --> 00:39:23.448
but he had no idea
what he was doing,
810
00:39:23.535 --> 00:39:26.233
and so I taught him
a few things
811
00:39:26.276 --> 00:39:28.191
and I helped him.
812
00:39:28.235 --> 00:39:30.759
Well, that sounds kinda sweet.
813
00:39:30.803 --> 00:39:32.761
I mean, Catarina helps Desmond.
814
00:39:32.805 --> 00:39:34.850
Right. He can be imperfect.
815
00:39:34.937 --> 00:39:37.853
Made of flesh and blood
like Matt.
816
00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:41.117
This is so helpful.
I'm gonna get to work right now.
817
00:39:41.161 --> 00:39:42.728
-Thanks, Mila.
Bye.
818
00:39:44.773 --> 00:39:47.820
After Desmond
hits yet another gutter ball,
819
00:39:47.907 --> 00:39:49.561
Catarina gives him a lesson.
820
00:39:49.648 --> 00:39:51.258
"Hold your hand straight,
821
00:39:51.301 --> 00:39:53.913
follow through
to shoulder-height."
822
00:39:53.956 --> 00:39:56.045
He takes the lesson
with humility,
823
00:39:56.132 --> 00:39:59.484
and it feels good to be the one
helping him for once,
824
00:39:59.571 --> 00:40:02.922
the two of them
learning to support each other.
825
00:40:05.577 --> 00:40:07.666
Hey, where's Izzi?
-Oh, I asked her to join us.
826
00:40:07.709 --> 00:40:11.104
-But she's hard at work.
-Ah, as a writer, I understand.
827
00:40:11.147 --> 00:40:13.193
Hey, Matt!
-Hey.
828
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:14.977
-Dad!
-Oh, I feel bad.
829
00:40:15.064 --> 00:40:17.153
We're off to play in the snow,
and you're staying behind.
830
00:40:17.197 --> 00:40:18.764
Do not feel bad,
it'll give me a chance to fix
831
00:40:18.851 --> 00:40:20.592
a few wobbly doorknobs.
832
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:22.420
Fair enough. Honestly,
I don't mind taking the lead
833
00:40:22.507 --> 00:40:25.031
because sledding
is my favorite activity.
834
00:40:25.118 --> 00:40:28.338
They're all
your favorite activities, dad.
835
00:40:28.426 --> 00:40:31.472
Kacey and I
live for the thrill.
836
00:40:31.516 --> 00:40:33.039
-Be careful.
837
00:40:33.126 --> 00:40:34.432
"Be careful."
838
00:40:41.395 --> 00:40:42.962
Who is it?
839
00:40:43.005 --> 00:40:44.311
It's Matt.
840
00:40:45.094 --> 00:40:46.792
Come in!
841
00:40:49.011 --> 00:40:51.405
Oh. Sorry to interrupt.
I thought you'd be sledding.
842
00:40:51.492 --> 00:40:53.625
Oh, I'd love to be,
but duty calls.
843
00:40:53.712 --> 00:40:56.454
Got it.
Well, I can come back later.
844
00:40:56.497 --> 00:40:59.674
It's okay.
Do what you need to do.
845
00:40:59.718 --> 00:41:01.459
-Sure?
-Mm-hmm.
846
00:41:16.952 --> 00:41:18.911
Wait. What are you doing?
847
00:41:18.998 --> 00:41:20.565
Just swapping out the doorknob.
848
00:41:20.652 --> 00:41:23.698
-What's wrong with the old one?
-Uh, it's old.
849
00:41:23.742 --> 00:41:26.353
So? Don't you have
any sentimentality?
850
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:29.748
For doorknobs?
Uh, nope, I don't.
851
00:41:29.835 --> 00:41:32.054
No, I just mean,
there's something romantic
852
00:41:32.141 --> 00:41:34.056
about this place's quirks.
853
00:41:34.143 --> 00:41:35.884
The squeaky floorboards
and all that.
854
00:41:35.971 --> 00:41:37.451
I don't think anyone's
ever written a hotel review
855
00:41:37.538 --> 00:41:40.106
that started with,
"I loved the squeaky floors."
856
00:41:40.193 --> 00:41:41.847
-Oh, I definitely would.
-Uh, wouldn't it be nice...
857
00:41:41.890 --> 00:41:44.197
To have a doorknob that works?
858
00:41:44.240 --> 00:41:47.026
It works.
859
00:41:47.113 --> 00:41:50.725
-See?
-Wait, no. Don't do that. Oh.
860
00:41:50.812 --> 00:41:53.685
Well, it's not
that big of a deal.
861
00:41:53.728 --> 00:41:55.948
It's not like
we're locked in here. Right?
862
00:41:56.035 --> 00:41:59.081
-We are so locked in here.
-No way.
863
00:41:59.168 --> 00:42:01.127
Well, thanks a lot.
864
00:42:01.214 --> 00:42:03.346
-You should've told me!
-I tried!
865
00:42:03.433 --> 00:42:05.827
Well, you have a screw driver.
Can't you take the hinges off?
866
00:42:05.914 --> 00:42:09.091
Now, I could, but the hinges
are on the other side, so...
867
00:42:09.135 --> 00:42:10.223
Haven't you ever heard
of the expression
868
00:42:10.266 --> 00:42:11.441
if it's not broke, don't fix it?
869
00:42:11.529 --> 00:42:12.573
The doorknob
was literally broke.
870
00:42:12.660 --> 00:42:15.794
Agree to disagree.
871
00:42:15.881 --> 00:42:18.274
-I'm calling the front desk.
-Yeah, don't bother.
872
00:42:18.361 --> 00:42:20.929
No one's there. I'm supposed
to be at the front desk.
873
00:42:21.016 --> 00:42:23.236
Why are you
not at the front desk?
874
00:42:23.279 --> 00:42:24.454
Because I was fixing
the doorknob.
875
00:42:24.542 --> 00:42:25.586
-You know what?
876
00:42:25.673 --> 00:42:27.022
I'll call my dad, tell him we're
877
00:42:27.109 --> 00:42:28.546
stuck in here and he'll...
878
00:42:30.548 --> 00:42:32.375
-What's wrong?
-I left my phone.
879
00:42:32.462 --> 00:42:34.639
-At the front desk.
-Well, you can use mine.
880
00:42:34.726 --> 00:42:36.597
I don't have my dad's cell
memorized.
881
00:42:36.684 --> 00:42:39.905
What? You don't know
your dad's number?
882
00:42:39.992 --> 00:42:42.124
It's just, it's in my phone.
Why would...
883
00:42:42.168 --> 00:42:43.561
Wait, do you have
everyone's number memorized?
884
00:42:43.648 --> 00:42:47.129
-Well, no.
-Oh. Okay.
885
00:42:47.173 --> 00:42:49.175
I guess we're not agreeing
to disagree on this one.
886
00:42:51.133 --> 00:42:53.309
Ooh.
887
00:42:53.396 --> 00:42:56.748
-Uh, what are you doing?
888
00:42:56.835 --> 00:42:58.184
Getting comfy, sledding usually
889
00:42:58.271 --> 00:43:00.969
lasts a couple of hours.
It's very fun.
890
00:43:01.056 --> 00:43:02.231
Then you should be doing it
instead of
891
00:43:02.275 --> 00:43:03.450
disturbing the guests.
892
00:43:03.493 --> 00:43:05.583
I have to get back to work.
893
00:43:17.551 --> 00:43:20.162
Tell me a story.
894
00:43:20.206 --> 00:43:22.295
What are you, five?
895
00:43:22.382 --> 00:43:25.037
-And a half.
896
00:43:25.124 --> 00:43:26.604
Oh, come on, why not?
897
00:43:28.606 --> 00:43:30.346
All I know are romance stories.
898
00:43:30.390 --> 00:43:33.045
And the age recommendation
is fourteen and up.
899
00:43:33.132 --> 00:43:34.481
So...
900
00:43:36.135 --> 00:43:37.484
Okay, well,
why don't you tell me
901
00:43:37.571 --> 00:43:40.313
how one becomes
a romance novelist?
902
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.969
-You really wanna know?
-Yeah. I do.
903
00:43:44.012 --> 00:43:45.274
It's not like
you're getting much
904
00:43:45.361 --> 00:43:46.536
writing done
at the moment anyway.
905
00:43:46.624 --> 00:43:49.148
Well, I wonder why.
906
00:43:49.235 --> 00:43:51.498
I was always writing,
even as a kid.
907
00:43:51.541 --> 00:43:53.282
Kinda like Kacey.
908
00:43:53.369 --> 00:43:54.501
As long as I can remember,
909
00:43:54.588 --> 00:43:56.503
my favorite part
of the fairy tales
910
00:43:56.590 --> 00:43:58.723
was the love story.
911
00:43:58.810 --> 00:44:00.463
Meeting Prince Charming,
912
00:44:00.550 --> 00:44:03.728
love at first sight,
true love's kiss, all of that.
913
00:44:03.815 --> 00:44:07.166
So I ended up creating my own
version of Prince Charming
914
00:44:07.209 --> 00:44:10.909
and I was able to make him
and Catarina, his eternal love,
915
00:44:10.996 --> 00:44:13.607
into a successful
romance series.
916
00:44:13.694 --> 00:44:16.392
But my fourth book,
up until this afternoon,
917
00:44:16.436 --> 00:44:18.873
has been such a struggle
to finish.
918
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:20.658
And why do you think that is?
919
00:44:22.398 --> 00:44:24.444
I'd rather not say.
920
00:44:24.531 --> 00:44:26.533
Oh, come on.
And now I'm curious.
921
00:44:30.580 --> 00:44:33.061
Let's just say
that there's a theory
922
00:44:33.105 --> 00:44:36.325
that the impossible standards
in my love life
923
00:44:36.412 --> 00:44:38.763
have started to affect
my professional life
924
00:44:38.806 --> 00:44:43.028
to the point where I'm writing
about unrealistic love
925
00:44:43.071 --> 00:44:45.421
instead of real love.
926
00:44:45.508 --> 00:44:47.423
That's understandable, though.
927
00:44:47.510 --> 00:44:49.904
-You think?
-Yeah.
928
00:44:49.948 --> 00:44:52.820
After my wife passed, um...
929
00:44:54.909 --> 00:44:57.390
Well, let's just say
that when you get knocked down
930
00:44:57.477 --> 00:45:00.045
like Kacey and I, um,
931
00:45:00.132 --> 00:45:02.874
getting back up, standing
on your own two feet again,
932
00:45:02.961 --> 00:45:05.833
it's, it's hard,
it's really hard.
933
00:45:07.182 --> 00:45:08.706
I got you.
934
00:45:12.448 --> 00:45:13.798
Of course.
935
00:45:13.885 --> 00:45:15.974
-I'm sorry, I--
-No. I mean, it's fine.
936
00:45:16.061 --> 00:45:18.585
I just,
I know what it feels like
937
00:45:18.628 --> 00:45:20.587
to get knocked down in life.
938
00:45:29.683 --> 00:45:32.817
I guess, with your writing, uh,
939
00:45:32.860 --> 00:45:36.472
now you have the ability
to create a happily ever after.
940
00:45:36.516 --> 00:45:38.561
I can see
how that'd feel safe...
941
00:45:39.737 --> 00:45:41.260
almost perfect.
942
00:45:42.740 --> 00:45:44.742
You're different
than I thought you'd be.
943
00:45:46.047 --> 00:45:47.962
I'll take that as a compliment?
944
00:45:48.049 --> 00:45:49.442
Your call.
945
00:45:52.924 --> 00:45:54.839
You wanna hear something weird?
946
00:45:54.882 --> 00:45:58.668
-Actually, never mind.
-I'm sure it's not that weird.
947
00:45:58.756 --> 00:46:00.845
Okay, I didn't know
if I should bring this up,
948
00:46:00.932 --> 00:46:03.804
but you look exactly
like Desmond Ranes.
949
00:46:03.891 --> 00:46:06.676
Okay, who is this Desmond guy
you keep bringing up?
950
00:46:06.764 --> 00:46:09.288
He's the character
from my books.
951
00:46:09.375 --> 00:46:10.593
All right.
952
00:46:14.336 --> 00:46:15.773
I got to see this.
953
00:46:17.339 --> 00:46:19.472
Look.
954
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.475
-Uh...
-You see it, huh?
955
00:46:22.518 --> 00:46:24.433
It's weird, right?
956
00:46:25.608 --> 00:46:27.610
Yeah, it's not that, it's, um...
957
00:46:27.697 --> 00:46:31.179
Matt?
Matt, are you here?
958
00:46:31.266 --> 00:46:34.792
Yeah! Um, upstairs! Room four!
959
00:46:40.406 --> 00:46:42.800
We've been trying to call,
Bob fell off his sled
960
00:46:42.843 --> 00:46:45.237
and hurt his leg.
He's in the lobby.
961
00:46:45.324 --> 00:46:46.325
Dad...
962
00:46:47.630 --> 00:46:49.502
We were locked in. Is he okay?
963
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.724
I'm fine, I just turned my ankle
when I flew off,
964
00:46:54.812 --> 00:46:57.031
uh, fell off the sled.
965
00:46:57.075 --> 00:46:59.251
Flew off?
Did you take a jump, dad?
966
00:46:59.338 --> 00:47:02.689
Well, it was more like
a little bump that looked fun.
967
00:47:02.776 --> 00:47:04.560
-Right, Kacey?
-I'd say so.
968
00:47:04.647 --> 00:47:07.563
Well, that's what a jump is,
dad. A bump that looks fun.
969
00:47:07.607 --> 00:47:10.653
Come on, it's Christmas time!
970
00:47:10.740 --> 00:47:13.265
-I like your spirit, Bob.
-Yeah!
971
00:47:13.352 --> 00:47:15.180
Sarah, don't you have
cookie decorating tonight?
972
00:47:15.223 --> 00:47:17.138
Oh, no!
973
00:47:17.225 --> 00:47:20.272
Oh, sh...
It's in an hour.
974
00:47:20.359 --> 00:47:21.839
You don't think
we can cancel it, do you?
975
00:47:21.926 --> 00:47:23.449
-Oh.
-Wait a second.
976
00:47:23.536 --> 00:47:27.322
No one is canceling anything
on my account.
977
00:47:27.409 --> 00:47:29.150
I guess only one of us
needs to stay here with him.
978
00:47:29.237 --> 00:47:31.544
Well, no offense, but you're not
good at cookie decorating.
979
00:47:31.587 --> 00:47:32.588
-So...
-What?
980
00:47:32.675 --> 00:47:34.939
I'd be happy to help, Sarah.
981
00:47:35.026 --> 00:47:36.462
Oh, Iz,
I can't ask you to do that.
982
00:47:36.549 --> 00:47:37.898
Don't you have to get back
to your writing?
983
00:47:37.942 --> 00:47:39.900
Actually,
I made a breakthrough today
984
00:47:39.944 --> 00:47:41.946
and made a ton of progress.
985
00:47:42.033 --> 00:47:44.209
It'd be my honor
to be your sous-chef.
986
00:47:44.296 --> 00:47:45.732
-Amazing.
Yeah!
987
00:47:45.819 --> 00:47:47.952
Let's go.
-I'll come, too.
988
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:49.736
Okay. Let's go.
989
00:47:50.911 --> 00:47:52.826
Have fun!
990
00:47:52.913 --> 00:47:54.828

-Thank you, sous-bakers.
-No problem.
1005
00:48:37.305 --> 00:48:39.003
By the way,
Kacey and I'll accept payment
1006
00:48:39.090 --> 00:48:41.179
in the form of cookies.
1007
00:48:41.266 --> 00:48:42.441
Done.
1008
00:48:48.882 --> 00:48:50.666
I'm just gonna rest my eyes
for a few minutes,
1009
00:48:50.753 --> 00:48:53.931
so unless you wanna
watch me sleep, you should go.
1010
00:48:54.018 --> 00:48:58.065
Oh, and bring me back a couple
of those gingerbreads I like.
1011
00:48:58.152 --> 00:49:00.285
Are you sure, dad? I really
don't mind sticking around.
1012
00:49:00.372 --> 00:49:01.634
In case you need anything.
1013
00:49:01.677 --> 00:49:04.289
I'd kill for a nice tea.
1014
00:49:07.466 --> 00:49:09.337
-Matt?
-Yeah?
1015
00:49:09.424 --> 00:49:13.211
I know that Silver Springs can
feel a little small sometimes,
1016
00:49:13.298 --> 00:49:16.344
but I'm so glad
you and Kacey moved back.
1017
00:49:16.431 --> 00:49:19.957
Me, too, dad. I'm excited for
this next chapter, I promise.
1018
00:49:25.092 --> 00:49:27.138
Feel like there's something
you're not saying.
1019
00:49:27.181 --> 00:49:30.358
Well, it's just that,
1020
00:49:30.402 --> 00:49:33.187
I hope you don't spend
the next chapter alone.
1021
00:49:33.274 --> 00:49:35.929
-Dad.
-Come on.
1022
00:49:36.016 --> 00:49:39.193
Emily isn't the only one
who'd want you to be happy.
1023
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.108
Kacey does, too.
1024
00:49:41.195 --> 00:49:44.155
And from what I've seen, you
and Izzi have real chemistry.
1025
00:49:44.242 --> 00:49:47.897
Izzi? She doesn't even
live here. She's a tourist.
1026
00:49:47.941 --> 00:49:50.335
Ah, you can figure out
all those details later.
1027
00:49:58.778 --> 00:50:00.388
-For your ankle.
1028
00:50:00.432 --> 00:50:03.174
-Something, uh...
1029
00:50:04.436 --> 00:50:06.177
Something happened.
1030
00:50:06.264 --> 00:50:09.397
-Okay. Something good?
-I don't know. Maybe.
1031
00:50:09.441 --> 00:50:13.314
Yeah. No, I...
Yeah, yeah, I really don't know.
1032
00:50:13.401 --> 00:50:16.230
Okay, you know how Izzi writes
those, those novels
1033
00:50:16.317 --> 00:50:17.666
about that hero guy?
1034
00:50:17.753 --> 00:50:19.277
-Uh, Desmond.
-Yeah?
1035
00:50:19.364 --> 00:50:21.583
Well, on the cover
of those novels,
1036
00:50:21.670 --> 00:50:23.150
uh, there's paintings of him.
1037
00:50:23.237 --> 00:50:24.543
Except, uh...
1038
00:50:26.545 --> 00:50:28.503
it's not him, it's me.
1039
00:50:28.590 --> 00:50:31.245
I'm on the cover
of the book, dad.
1040
00:50:31.289 --> 00:50:34.074
Emily painted it.
1041
00:50:34.161 --> 00:50:35.554
Well, how is that even possible?
1042
00:50:35.641 --> 00:50:37.817
I mean,
I know she was an artist,
1043
00:50:37.904 --> 00:50:39.775
but I didn't know
she did romance novels.
1044
00:50:39.819 --> 00:50:41.429
I remember
her being commissioned
1045
00:50:41.473 --> 00:50:43.562
for a handful, I don't know.
1046
00:50:43.649 --> 00:50:46.130
And you know how she always
used the family as inspiration.
1047
00:50:46.217 --> 00:50:48.828
But for that art
to end up on Izzi's cover,
1048
00:50:48.915 --> 00:50:50.917
for Izzi to be here now, I don't
know, it almost feels like--
1049
00:50:51.004 --> 00:50:52.397
Like a sign.
1050
00:50:54.181 --> 00:50:56.444
Wow.
1051
00:50:56.488 --> 00:50:57.837
I couldn't have said it
better myself.
1052
00:50:57.924 --> 00:50:59.534
No.
1053
00:50:59.621 --> 00:51:02.668
That is a lot to process.
1054
00:51:02.755 --> 00:51:06.150
Now, the decision for you is
whether that's a bad sign
1055
00:51:06.237 --> 00:51:08.021
or a good one.
1056
00:51:08.108 --> 00:51:10.763
I think you know which side
of the fence I'm gonna be on.
1057
00:51:10.850 --> 00:51:12.069
Hm?
1058
00:51:13.592 --> 00:51:17.378
Now, for more pressing matters.
1059
00:51:17.465 --> 00:51:21.078
-Don't forget my gingerbreads.
-To help your ankle feel better?
1060
00:51:21.165 --> 00:51:22.644
-Exactly.
-All right.
1061
00:51:22.731 --> 00:51:26.039
-Stay off your feet, dad.
1062
00:51:26.126 --> 00:51:27.606
I'll be good.
1063
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:51.020
Hi.
1064
00:51:51.064 --> 00:51:53.762
Hey.
-Yeah, uh, they got here?
1065
00:51:55.982 --> 00:51:59.681
-Sorry, I got to take this.
-Sure. No problem. Yeah.
1066
00:51:59.768 --> 00:52:02.467
Okay, yeah,
what should I do?
1067
00:52:02.554 --> 00:52:04.251
Snowman.
Oh, a snowman. Yes.
1068
00:52:04.338 --> 00:52:08.821
Santa?
No. No.
1069
00:52:08.908 --> 00:52:10.605
-Hey.
1070
00:52:10.692 --> 00:52:13.086
I just wanted to see
if Bob was okay.
1071
00:52:13.173 --> 00:52:14.783
That's nice of you. Yeah.
The, uh...
1072
00:52:14.870 --> 00:52:17.046
The daredevil
is in good spirits.
1073
00:52:17.134 --> 00:52:19.353
Great.
Wants cookies, though.
1074
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.182
-Izzi, hi.
Hey.
1075
00:52:22.269 --> 00:52:24.924
Didn't Sarah
set this all up so beautifully?
1076
00:52:25.011 --> 00:52:26.839
Yeah.
1077
00:52:26.926 --> 00:52:30.016
-She did a great job.
-Do you wanna join and...
1078
00:52:30.103 --> 00:52:33.019
No. I'll let you two
get back to it.
1079
00:52:33.062 --> 00:52:35.326
-Have fun.
-Yeah, you, too.
1080
00:52:35.369 --> 00:52:37.937
Bye, Izzi.
1081
00:52:38.024 --> 00:52:40.331
-Let's decorate.
-Yeah.
1082
00:52:47.294 --> 00:52:49.035
Oh, well, well, what?
1083
00:52:57.826 --> 00:52:59.654
Izzi, can I help you decorate?
1084
00:52:59.698 --> 00:53:01.961
I'd like that.
1085
00:53:02.048 --> 00:53:05.747
-How's your story coming along?
-So good!
1086
00:53:05.791 --> 00:53:07.227
Every time
I don't know what to write,
1087
00:53:07.314 --> 00:53:09.751
I just walk around the B&B
a couple of times.
1088
00:53:09.838 --> 00:53:11.884
I even have my own trail
through the snow.
1089
00:53:11.971 --> 00:53:14.843
I love it. All right.
1090
00:53:15.888 --> 00:53:17.368
Perfect.
1091
00:53:17.455 --> 00:53:19.065
-Oh, ooh!
1092
00:53:19.152 --> 00:53:20.545
Keep going.
1093
00:53:20.588 --> 00:53:22.373
I can't wait
for Christmas.
1094
00:53:22.460 --> 00:53:24.766
Just two more days.
1095
00:53:24.853 --> 00:53:26.681
Nice!
1096
00:53:26.768 --> 00:53:28.770
Okay, how about another color?
1097
00:53:32.687 --> 00:53:34.254
The tie-dye
Christmas-sweater cookie
1098
00:53:34.298 --> 00:53:36.909
takes the top prize.
1099
00:53:36.996 --> 00:53:40.086
Congratulations!
1100
00:53:40.173 --> 00:53:42.784
-Uh, very funny.
-So unfair.
1101
00:53:42.828 --> 00:53:44.351
Blatant nepotism
if I've ever seen it.
1102
00:53:44.438 --> 00:53:46.571
-Still going, huh?
-Oh, I got plenty more.
1103
00:53:46.614 --> 00:53:48.660
It's all the sugar.
1104
00:53:48.747 --> 00:53:51.924
I can't help it.
1105
00:53:52.011 --> 00:53:54.796
So what are you doing over here
all by yourself?
1106
00:53:54.883 --> 00:53:58.539
-I was, uh, just thinking.
-About your dad?
1107
00:53:58.626 --> 00:54:00.541
You said
it was just a sprain, right?
1108
00:54:00.628 --> 00:54:03.936
Yes, yes, one of the things
I was thinking about.
1109
00:54:04.023 --> 00:54:05.590
Ah, more than that, I just
don't know what he's gonna
1110
00:54:05.677 --> 00:54:06.634
do with himself moving forward.
1111
00:54:06.721 --> 00:54:07.940
Yeah.
1112
00:54:07.983 --> 00:54:09.246
He's not the type to sit at home
1113
00:54:09.289 --> 00:54:10.638
and watch game shows.
1114
00:54:10.682 --> 00:54:13.815
Nope. He loves entertaining.
1115
00:54:13.902 --> 00:54:16.340
He loves talking to tourists
about Silver Springs.
1116
00:54:16.427 --> 00:54:20.082
-Of course, he loves Christmas--
-Christmas.
1117
00:54:25.827 --> 00:54:27.960
Maybe he could do
all those things at the B&B.
1118
00:54:28.047 --> 00:54:31.180
-And then you could do the rest.
-I'd be fine with that.
1119
00:54:31.224 --> 00:54:33.618
But he wants me to be able
to do my own thing.
1120
00:54:33.705 --> 00:54:36.490
Yeah, I get that.
1121
00:54:36.534 --> 00:54:40.189
So what was the other thing
you were thinking about?
1122
00:54:40.277 --> 00:54:44.281
You got out of setting up, so
maybe you can help me clean up?
1123
00:54:44.368 --> 00:54:47.588
Sure. Yeah.
I will help clean up. Excuse me.
1124
00:54:47.675 --> 00:54:50.635
Oh, you helped out
so much today. Thank you.
1125
00:54:50.678 --> 00:54:53.246
-He'll do.
-I'll do.
1126
00:54:54.291 --> 00:54:55.814
-Bye.
-Bye.
1127
00:55:05.780 --> 00:55:06.999
Jennifer?
1128
00:55:07.086 --> 00:55:09.436
Izzi. Hey, what's up?
1129
00:55:09.523 --> 00:55:11.656
You're on the town board, right?
1130
00:55:11.699 --> 00:55:14.702
-I am.
-Can I walk you out?
1131
00:55:14.789 --> 00:55:17.183
I have an idea
I want to run past you.
1132
00:55:17.270 --> 00:55:20.621
-Sure.
-Okay. It's about Bob's future.
1133
00:55:25.322 --> 00:55:27.149
Thanks.
1134
00:55:31.153 --> 00:55:33.852
I have to see this
for myself.
1135
00:55:33.895 --> 00:55:35.027
Shh.
1136
00:55:44.993 --> 00:55:46.560
How come
there's only two shapes?
1137
00:55:46.647 --> 00:55:49.346
They're canes and boots.
1138
00:55:52.218 --> 00:55:54.176
Why do I feel like you had
something to do with this?
1139
00:55:54.263 --> 00:55:55.787
I couldn't help it.
1140
00:55:55.874 --> 00:55:59.051
Oh, I love them, Kacey.
Thank you.
1141
00:55:59.138 --> 00:56:01.053
And thank you, too.
1142
00:56:01.140 --> 00:56:03.838
And not just for the cookies,
for everything today.
1143
00:56:03.925 --> 00:56:05.884
My pleasure.
1144
00:56:05.927 --> 00:56:08.800
Well, uh, I'm gonna get going.
1145
00:56:08.887 --> 00:56:10.454
-Have a good night.
Goodnight, Izzi.
1146
00:56:10.541 --> 00:56:13.544
Uh, wait,
I'll get the door for ya.
1147
00:56:18.984 --> 00:56:20.159
Do you still have
writing to do tonight?
1148
00:56:20.246 --> 00:56:22.074
Some.
1149
00:56:22.161 --> 00:56:26.121
But it's such a nice night out,
I think I might go for a push.
1150
00:56:26.165 --> 00:56:29.081
Sounds fun. Mind if I join?
1151
00:56:29.995 --> 00:56:31.388
Sure.
1152
00:56:33.128 --> 00:56:34.478
I'll grab my coat.
1153
00:56:42.007 --> 00:56:44.618
Main Street's gonna be
so beautiful tomorrow.
1154
00:56:44.705 --> 00:56:48.666
The Lights Festival is
my favorite grown-up tradition.
1155
00:56:48.753 --> 00:56:50.494
I've never met anyone
who loves traditions
1156
00:56:50.581 --> 00:56:53.975
as much as you do.
It's refreshing.
1157
00:56:54.062 --> 00:56:57.109
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
1158
00:56:57.196 --> 00:57:01.156
Well, this is another one
of my favorites.
1159
00:57:01.200 --> 00:57:03.985
Crockpot-toasted
marshmallow hot chocolate.
1160
00:57:04.072 --> 00:57:05.639
You gotta try it.
1161
00:57:05.683 --> 00:57:06.945
-Want one?
-Yeah.
1162
00:57:07.032 --> 00:57:09.600
Yeah? Okay.
1163
00:57:09.687 --> 00:57:12.429
-Hey, Steve!
-Uh, two, please.
1164
00:57:13.865 --> 00:57:15.301
It's a little bit hot,
be careful.
1165
00:57:15.344 --> 00:57:16.955
Thank you.
1166
00:57:18.783 --> 00:57:21.568
-Okay.
-Okay, here goes.
1167
00:57:23.744 --> 00:57:26.399
-Mm. Mm.
-Mm.
1168
00:57:26.486 --> 00:57:28.532
-Now, this is delicious.
-I told ya.
1169
00:57:28.619 --> 00:57:30.229
Well, I'm loving
that sweet roasted flavor.
1170
00:57:34.407 --> 00:57:37.497
-Oh, you, you have some...
-What?
1171
00:57:37.584 --> 00:57:39.847
-Yeah.
-Over there.
1172
00:57:39.934 --> 00:57:43.634
-Okay. Right here.
It's still there.
1173
00:57:43.677 --> 00:57:47.072
It's still there? Okay. Gone?
1174
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:50.205
-We good?
-Yeah, yeah.
1175
00:57:50.249 --> 00:57:53.818
Gotta say, in the past few
years, I've been so distracted
1176
00:57:53.861 --> 00:57:56.168
just trying
to get through my day...
1177
00:57:58.126 --> 00:58:00.041
Being back in Silver Springs
and seeing the world
1178
00:58:00.128 --> 00:58:03.001
through your eyes,
I don't know,
1179
00:58:03.088 --> 00:58:06.787
it's, it's helping me appreciate
where I came from.
1180
00:58:06.874 --> 00:58:08.876
That's really
nice of you to say.
1181
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:11.749
Oh, hey, I wanted to thank you.
1182
00:58:11.836 --> 00:58:14.142
Yeah, for helping Kacey
with her writing.
1183
00:58:14.229 --> 00:58:16.362
Oh, anytime.
She's such a good kid.
1184
00:58:16.405 --> 00:58:19.365
Yeah. Yeah. Being her dad is...
1185
00:58:19.452 --> 00:58:20.497
Well, let's just say
it's the greatest adventure
1186
00:58:20.584 --> 00:58:22.063
I've ever taken,
that's for sure.
1187
00:58:22.150 --> 00:58:24.196
She's lucky to have you.
1188
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:26.677
Her very own
knight in shining armor.
1189
00:58:30.419 --> 00:58:33.205
-Shall we keep going?
-We shall.
1190
00:58:39.167 --> 00:58:40.517
My lady.
1191
00:59:08.153 --> 00:59:10.242
What, are you proposing?
1192
00:59:12.070 --> 00:59:14.507
The view is just better
down here.
1193
00:59:22.167 --> 00:59:24.386
There's, uh, there's something
I need to tell ya.
1194
00:59:30.001 --> 00:59:32.743
You know what? Oh, never mind.
1195
00:59:33.918 --> 00:59:35.702
You can tell me.
1196
00:59:35.789 --> 00:59:38.183
No, it's just such a nice night.
1197
00:59:38.270 --> 00:59:40.925
-Honestly, it's almost...
-Perfect?
1198
00:59:42.535 --> 00:59:44.929
-Exactly.
-Hm.
1199
00:59:48.019 --> 00:59:51.152
-Let's just keep it that way.
-Okey-dokey.
1200
00:59:51.196 --> 00:59:53.546
-You sure?
-Yes. I promise.
1201
00:59:53.633 --> 00:59:55.417
Okay.
1202
00:59:55.504 --> 00:59:58.290
-Shall we head back?
-Come on.
1203
01:00:04.775 --> 01:00:07.647
Suddenly she catches
a rock and tumbles,
1204
01:00:07.734 --> 01:00:09.693
almost falling off a cliff.
1205
01:00:09.780 --> 01:00:12.957
Desmond races over.
She reaches out her hand.
1206
01:00:13.044 --> 01:00:15.176
With strength,
he pulls her up.
1207
01:00:15.263 --> 01:00:18.353
They fall back
onto the soft snow.
1208
01:00:18.397 --> 01:00:21.966
Then, Desmond
slowly leans towards her...
1209
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:31.802
I know, I know.
1210
01:00:31.889 --> 01:00:34.195
It looks like
Santa's bag exploded.
1211
01:00:34.282 --> 01:00:36.807
But not regular Santa, DJ Santa,
1212
01:00:36.894 --> 01:00:38.460
who works weddings
and bar mitzvahs
1213
01:00:38.547 --> 01:00:41.507
the other weekends of the year.
1214
01:00:41.594 --> 01:00:44.553
Okay, I was planning to wake up
at 6 a.m. to test the lights
1215
01:00:44.641 --> 01:00:46.947
in the dark one last time,
but instead I woke up at 3:00
1216
01:00:47.034 --> 01:00:49.036
from a stress dream
they wouldn't look good.
1217
01:00:49.123 --> 01:00:53.084
Then my fears were confirmed.
They, they look terrible.
1218
01:00:53.171 --> 01:00:55.521
Well, what happened
to the master plan?
1219
01:00:55.608 --> 01:00:56.914
The synchronized music
and all that?
1220
01:00:57.001 --> 01:00:58.655
What happened is...
1221
01:00:58.742 --> 01:01:01.527
-Oh.
1222
01:01:03.572 --> 01:01:05.270
Okay, wait,
you, you like it.
1223
01:01:05.357 --> 01:01:07.141
I do not.
1224
01:01:09.927 --> 01:01:11.537
Yeah, it doesn't sound
as good as I remember.
1225
01:01:11.580 --> 01:01:13.844
Well, maybe I can help.
1226
01:01:15.149 --> 01:01:16.542
Thank you.
1227
01:01:16.629 --> 01:01:19.066
Let's see.
1228
01:01:19.153 --> 01:01:23.767
Here... Yeah.
1229
01:01:23.854 --> 01:01:26.291
I think Christmas
is all about tradition.
1230
01:01:26.378 --> 01:01:29.033
You remember those big
red, blue and green bulbs?
1231
01:01:29.120 --> 01:01:32.427
The ones you actually had
to screw in every single one?
1232
01:01:32.471 --> 01:01:35.648
It'd take me and my dad hours,
but we loved it.
1233
01:01:35.735 --> 01:01:37.432
-Yeah, we had 'em, too.
-Well...
1234
01:01:37.476 --> 01:01:38.564
Some might say
they're kind of dated,
1235
01:01:38.607 --> 01:01:40.784
but to me, they're classic.
1236
01:01:40.871 --> 01:01:44.178
They remind me of my childhood,
it was so magical.
1237
01:01:44.265 --> 01:01:47.268
Any chance you have a box
of those old Christmas lights
1238
01:01:47.355 --> 01:01:49.444
collecting dust
in an attic somewhere?
1239
01:01:49.531 --> 01:01:52.273
Oh, we don't even have an attic.
1240
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:54.232
But we do have a shed.
1241
01:01:55.450 --> 01:01:57.670
All right.
1242
01:01:57.757 --> 01:02:00.717
-Well, here, you check this one.
-Okay.
1243
01:02:05.373 --> 01:02:08.115
Ah. The '90s.
1244
01:02:08.159 --> 01:02:11.902
Michael Jordan, Elaine Benes
and classic Christmas lights.
1245
01:02:13.642 --> 01:02:15.253
All right.
1246
01:02:15.340 --> 01:02:16.689
Who's in charge
of untangling these?
1247
01:02:16.776 --> 01:02:19.823
This is a two-person job.
1248
01:02:19.910 --> 01:02:21.476
There is is one problem,
the festival's tonight,
1249
01:02:21.520 --> 01:02:23.174
my dad was supposed
to help me set up,
1250
01:02:23.261 --> 01:02:25.176
but with his ankle, that's
not exactly an option anymore.
1251
01:02:25.263 --> 01:02:26.612
And I know you're gonna offer
to help with this--
1252
01:02:26.699 --> 01:02:29.397
I wasn't gonna offer to help.
1253
01:02:29.484 --> 01:02:32.096
Oh, right, you have that big
Christmas Eve deadline tonight.
1254
01:02:32.183 --> 01:02:33.662
-I'm kidding!
-I shouldn't have assumed.
1255
01:02:33.706 --> 01:02:37.318
And by the way,
I only have the ending left.
1256
01:02:37.405 --> 01:02:39.756
But you're right,
we can't do it all ourselves.
1257
01:02:42.759 --> 01:02:45.152
That's the spirit, Kacey.
1258
01:02:45.196 --> 01:02:47.067

It is time for our last award

1295
01:04:46.534 --> 01:04:51.061
The Christmas Lights
of Silver Springs competition.
1296
01:04:51.148 --> 01:04:54.499
As always, there were
some wonderful displays,
1297
01:04:54.586 --> 01:04:58.285
but for the first time
in our festival's history,
1298
01:04:58.372 --> 01:05:00.809
this year's decision
was unanimous.
1299

the Antler Chalet!

Kacey, we won! Ha-ha!
1304
01:05:27.836 --> 01:05:30.578
-Son!
1305
01:05:30.665 --> 01:05:33.538
It's official.
You saved Christmas.
1306
01:05:33.625 --> 01:05:35.409
What? I barely did anything.
1307
01:05:35.496 --> 01:05:37.977
Oh, right,
no, just the cookie decorating.
1308
01:05:38.064 --> 01:05:39.326
-And the Lights Festival--
-Okay, okay.
1309
01:05:39.413 --> 01:05:40.545
If you wanna put up
1310
01:05:40.632 --> 01:05:41.589
a life-size statue of me
1311
01:05:41.633 --> 01:05:42.590
in front of town hall...
1312
01:05:42.677 --> 01:05:44.418
-I'll allow it.
-Oh.
1313
01:05:44.505 --> 01:05:45.854
And we can put a plaque
underneath that says
1314
01:05:45.942 --> 01:05:47.465
"Izzi saves Christmas."
1315
01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:52.949
There's a little something
between the two of you.
1316
01:05:53.036 --> 01:05:54.820
-Isn't there?
-What?
1317
01:05:54.863 --> 01:05:56.474
Wait, did he say something?
1318
01:05:56.561 --> 01:05:58.911
Well, that answers
that question.
1319
01:05:58.998 --> 01:06:01.609
So have you talked to him?
Does he know how you feel?
1320
01:06:01.696 --> 01:06:04.264
-Not exactly.
-Why not?
1321
01:06:04.351 --> 01:06:07.050
Well, I'm just waiting
for the right moment.
1322
01:06:07.137 --> 01:06:09.617
Oh. Well, now's your chance.
1323
01:06:09.704 --> 01:06:12.055
He's coming,
so I'm just gonna go pretend...
1324
01:06:12.142 --> 01:06:14.057
-Like I have something to do.
-Wait.
1325
01:06:14.144 --> 01:06:15.623
It's not pretending if you're
telling me it's pretending.
1326
01:06:15.710 --> 01:06:18.148
-Sarah!
-Hey, Sarah.
1327
01:06:18.235 --> 01:06:20.977
Hiya. Yeah, well,
I'm real busy right now. Ah.
1328
01:06:21.064 --> 01:06:22.543
-It's nine 9 o'clock at night.
I'll just, uh...
1329
01:06:22.630 --> 01:06:25.851
Cookies, baking.
Okay.
1330
01:06:30.899 --> 01:06:34.251
-Hey.
-And where have you been?
1331
01:06:34.338 --> 01:06:36.035
Oh, gloating.
1332
01:06:36.122 --> 01:06:38.995
-Y-you were not!
-There's some--
1333
01:06:39.082 --> 01:06:40.997
-So I wanted--
-Uh...
1334
01:06:41.084 --> 01:06:43.086
Okay. No, you go ahead.
1335
01:06:43.173 --> 01:06:45.262
Yeah, okay,
uh, well, there's something,
1336
01:06:45.349 --> 01:06:46.741
something I've been wanting
to tell you.
1337
01:06:46.828 --> 01:06:48.178
Oh, right. That, yeah.
1338
01:06:48.221 --> 01:06:49.744
Remember when we got locked
in your room?
1339
01:06:49.788 --> 01:06:51.877
Sorry, of course
you remember that.
1340
01:06:51.964 --> 01:06:54.967
Okay,
when we were talking about...
1341
01:06:55.054 --> 01:06:58.188
Y-you know how you thought
that I looked...
1342
01:06:59.363 --> 01:07:02.018
like your main character
Desmond?
1343
01:07:02.105 --> 01:07:03.802
The thing is, it's actually
the other way around.
1344
01:07:03.889 --> 01:07:06.283
He looks like me.
1345
01:07:06.370 --> 01:07:07.762
Wait, what do you mean?
1346
01:07:07.849 --> 01:07:10.722
My wife, Emily, was a painter.
1347
01:07:10.809 --> 01:07:13.029
She commissioned her art
for all sorts of different jobs.
1348
01:07:13.072 --> 01:07:15.683
Portraits, brochures,
print ads...
1349
01:07:17.163 --> 01:07:18.599
book covers.
1350
01:07:18.686 --> 01:07:20.253
I recognized your cover art
instantly.
1351
01:07:20.340 --> 01:07:21.820
I mean, she didn't paint
that one, but she was--
1352
01:07:21.907 --> 01:07:24.910
-She was the original artist.
-Yeah.
1353
01:07:24.997 --> 01:07:28.087
Yeah, she sometimes used me
as inspiration for her...
1354
01:07:28.131 --> 01:07:29.958
It doesn't matter.
1355
01:07:30.046 --> 01:07:34.354
I had no idea that book
became a series. Your series.
1356
01:07:34.441 --> 01:07:37.879
Wow. I mean...
1357
01:07:37.966 --> 01:07:41.622
I don't know, but, wow.
1358
01:07:41.709 --> 01:07:43.624
-Seems to be the consensus.
-I mean...
1359
01:07:43.711 --> 01:07:45.148
The odds of this...
1360
01:07:45.191 --> 01:07:50.109
Yeah, I don't even know
what, what this is,
1361
01:07:50.196 --> 01:07:54.070
but past few days,
you and I, we've...
1362
01:07:55.375 --> 01:07:58.161
I know you've...
1363
01:07:58.248 --> 01:07:59.771
I think I just need a little
time to figure out
1364
01:07:59.858 --> 01:08:02.121
what it means. You know?
1365
01:08:02.165 --> 01:08:04.167
Yeah. Um...
1366
01:08:04.254 --> 01:08:07.648
I can only imagine
what's going through your head.
1367
01:08:07.692 --> 01:08:10.434
Thank you for understanding.
1368
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.438
Well, I better go.
1369
01:08:14.481 --> 01:08:16.048
I have a few pages
still to write.
1370
01:08:16.135 --> 01:08:18.311
-So...
-Of course. Right, right.
1371
01:08:18.355 --> 01:08:19.791
Uh, Izzi.
1372
01:08:21.575 --> 01:08:23.621
Merry Christmas.
1373
01:08:23.708 --> 01:08:26.232
Not yet. I'll see you tomorrow.
1374
01:08:47.601 --> 01:08:49.212
I can't do this.
1375
01:08:49.299 --> 01:08:52.128
I can't write the ending
with so much left unsaid.
1376
01:09:08.927 --> 01:09:10.015
-What?
-He says...
1377
01:09:12.409 --> 01:09:14.715
Tell him you won
fair and square.
1378
01:09:14.759 --> 01:09:17.501
Yeah, well, I did have
some help, to be fair.
1379
01:09:17.544 --> 01:09:19.242
Mm-hmm.
1380
01:09:19.329 --> 01:09:21.505
-All right.
1381
01:09:23.463 --> 01:09:25.987
You two make a really good team.
1382
01:09:27.728 --> 01:09:29.165
You think so?
1383
01:09:32.429 --> 01:09:35.823
I'm not gonna lie, I had my eye
on you since you were back,
1384
01:09:35.867 --> 01:09:40.045
but, as an old friend,
1385
01:09:40.088 --> 01:09:41.873
I'm happy for you.
1386
01:09:52.275 --> 01:09:55.408
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-You're the best. Okay.
1387
01:09:55.452 --> 01:09:57.889
Oh, Izzi came to me
with a really good idea
1388
01:09:57.976 --> 01:10:00.108
after cookie decorating.
1389
01:10:00.196 --> 01:10:02.807
-Really? About what?
-Yeah. Your dad.
1390
01:10:02.894 --> 01:10:04.548
But don't say anything
to him yet
1391
01:10:04.635 --> 01:10:06.637
because I haven't had a chance
to iron out the details,
1392
01:10:06.724 --> 01:10:09.553
but I think Bob's gonna love it.
1393
01:10:19.693 --> 01:10:21.478
Izzi!
1394
01:10:21.565 --> 01:10:23.915
I figured out
the ending to my story
1395
01:10:23.958 --> 01:10:25.960
and I think
you're gonna like it.
1396
01:10:26.047 --> 01:10:27.701
I know I will.
1397
01:10:27.788 --> 01:10:31.705
And I think
I figured out mine, too.
1398
01:10:31.792 --> 01:10:34.317
-You doin' all right, Izzi?
-Yeah, I'm just tired.
1399
01:10:34.360 --> 01:10:36.754
I think I'm gonna head back
and finally finish my book.
1400
01:10:36.797 --> 01:10:38.582
Oh, okay.
1401
01:10:38.669 --> 01:10:41.454
-Well, goodnight then.
-Goodnight, Bob.
1402
01:10:41.541 --> 01:10:43.935
-Goodnight, Kacey.
-Goodnight.

1419
01:13:03.335 --> 01:13:04.249
Hey, that's what
the Internet said
1420
01:13:04.292 --> 01:13:05.903
the kids are into this year.
1421
01:13:05.990 --> 01:13:09.559
Dad, I have a special present
just for you.
1422
01:13:09.646 --> 01:13:11.430
For me?
1423
01:13:11.517 --> 01:13:13.258
-Open it.
-Okay.
1424
01:13:16.261 --> 01:13:18.002
This is the notebook
Izzi gave you?
1425
01:13:18.089 --> 01:13:20.352
It's gonna be a real book
one day, but for now
1426
01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:22.963
you get the first edition.
1427
01:13:23.007 --> 01:13:26.010
Wow. That's a,
it's a pretty big honor.
1428
01:13:26.097 --> 01:13:28.447
-You want me to read it now?
-Yeah.
1429
01:13:28.491 --> 01:13:31.798
Yeah? Okay.
1430
01:13:31.842 --> 01:13:34.453
"Once upon a time,
a king and his princess,
1431
01:13:34.540 --> 01:13:36.934
who was very adorable...
1432
01:13:39.066 --> 01:13:41.373
moved to a new kingdom.
1433
01:13:41.460 --> 01:13:44.245
The king spent all of his time
fixing up his new castle
1434
01:13:44.289 --> 01:13:47.640
because his heart was broken.
1435
01:13:47.727 --> 01:13:50.904
And it was the one thing
he couldn't fix."
1436
01:13:53.037 --> 01:13:57.302
-Kacey...
-Dad, keep reading. Continue.
1437
01:13:58.042 --> 01:14:01.132
Okay. Yeah.
1438
01:14:01.175 --> 01:14:05.658
"The king was sad because a long
time ago, he lost his queen.
1439
01:14:05.745 --> 01:14:10.315
But one day, a beautiful new
queen without a king of her own
1440
01:14:10.402 --> 01:14:12.622
traveled to the kingdom.
1441
01:14:15.233 --> 01:14:19.324
The king and the very adorable
princess fell in love with her,
1442
01:14:19.411 --> 01:14:22.458
and the king was happy
once again. The end."
1443
01:14:26.462 --> 01:14:28.159
This is beautiful.
1444
01:14:28.246 --> 01:14:31.728
-That's gorgeous, Kacey.
-Thank you. Come here.
1445
01:14:37.734 --> 01:14:39.518
Hey, hey, where are you going?
1446
01:14:39.605 --> 01:14:41.999
To get one of Aunt Sarah's
Christmas cookies.
1447
01:14:42.042 --> 01:14:44.480
Kacey, it's 9:00 in the morning.
1448
01:14:44.523 --> 01:14:46.960
-Okay, get me two.
-Me, too, please.
1449
01:14:49.267 --> 01:14:50.486
Dad...
1450
01:14:56.013 --> 01:14:57.449
You don't think it's wrong
having feelings
1451
01:14:57.536 --> 01:14:58.537
for someone else?
1452
01:14:58.581 --> 01:15:00.452
Oh, absolutely not.
1453
01:15:00.539 --> 01:15:03.499
Especially
if it's the right person.
1454
01:15:03.542 --> 01:15:06.937
And for what it's worth,
1455
01:15:07.024 --> 01:15:09.330
I kinda think
my granddaughter approves.
1456
01:15:09.417 --> 01:15:10.680
Yeah.
1457
01:15:12.420 --> 01:15:16.207
Honestly, I didn't think
I'd feel this way again.
1458
01:15:16.294 --> 01:15:20.080
Izzi makes me see things
I've never noticed before.
1459
01:15:20.167 --> 01:15:21.691
When I'm with her,
it's like I can breathe again,
1460
01:15:21.778 --> 01:15:23.910
you know, it's...
1461
01:15:23.997 --> 01:15:25.869
First time in a long time.
1462
01:15:27.131 --> 01:15:29.133
But?
1463
01:15:29.220 --> 01:15:31.135
I guess I'm just scared.
1464
01:15:33.572 --> 01:15:36.401
-Losing someone again.
-I understand, son.
1465
01:15:36.488 --> 01:15:39.709
Life is gonna bring us bruises,
it's unavoidable.
1466
01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:42.712
But if you see a good jump...
1467
01:15:44.278 --> 01:15:45.932
you gotta take it.
1468
01:15:46.019 --> 01:15:47.151
Yeah.
1469
01:15:50.328 --> 01:15:52.025
♪ O come all...
1470
01:15:52.112 --> 01:15:54.550
Merry Christmas!
1471
01:15:54.637 --> 01:15:57.770
Fantastic. Have a great day.
1472
01:15:57.814 --> 01:16:00.730
Izzi! Merry Christmas.
Good morning.
1473
01:16:00.817 --> 01:16:02.906
-Merry Christmas.
-Guess what?
1474
01:16:02.993 --> 01:16:06.823
I just got off the phone
with Jennifer.
1475
01:16:06.910 --> 01:16:10.261
She asked if I would
volunteer for the town board.
1476
01:16:10.348 --> 01:16:12.916
I would oversee
all the Christmas activities,
1477
01:16:12.959 --> 01:16:14.787
and the rest of the year
I'd help out
1478
01:16:14.831 --> 01:16:17.311
with all kinds
of Silver Springs events!
1479
01:16:17.355 --> 01:16:20.967
She said
the whole thing was your idea.
1480
01:16:21.054 --> 01:16:24.014
You are so thoughtful.
1481
01:16:24.101 --> 01:16:26.146
Hey, wait.
W-what, what are you...
1482
01:16:26.190 --> 01:16:27.713
You're not leaving, are you?
1483
01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:29.497
-I have to go.
-What, so soon?
1484
01:16:29.585 --> 01:16:32.196
You have to at least stay
for Christmas breakfast, right?
1485
01:16:32.283 --> 01:16:34.502
Like I said, there was
going to be some activities
1486
01:16:34.590 --> 01:16:36.200
I would miss this year.
1487
01:16:37.593 --> 01:16:39.725
Izzi, I don't understand.
1488
01:16:39.812 --> 01:16:42.989
I came here to rewrite my book,
and I did.
1489
01:16:43.076 --> 01:16:45.601
It definitely wasn't the ending
that I thought it would be,
1490
01:16:45.688 --> 01:16:49.474
but at least
now I know it's finished.
1491
01:16:49.561 --> 01:16:53.696
I don't mean to pry,
but did Matt talk to you?
1492
01:16:53.783 --> 01:16:55.523
Let's just say I know
what I need to know.
1493
01:16:55.611 --> 01:16:58.657
-What does that mean?
-I'm not his person, Bob.
1494
01:16:58.744 --> 01:17:01.965
I better hit the road
before it starts snowing again.
1495
01:17:02.008 --> 01:17:03.619
Merry Christmas.
1496
01:17:04.663 --> 01:17:06.491
Drive safe, Iz.
1497
01:17:11.104 --> 01:17:12.366
-You hungry?
-Yeah.
1498
01:17:12.453 --> 01:17:15.543
I'm so hungry.
1499
01:17:15.587 --> 01:17:17.458
All right. Hey, you wanna
grab us both a plate?
1500
01:17:17.502 --> 01:17:19.852
Eggs, bacon, all that kid stuff?
1501
01:17:19.939 --> 01:17:21.637
Hey, double the syrup.
1502
01:17:24.857 --> 01:17:27.860
-Hey, son?
-Yeah. Hey, you seen Izzi?
1503
01:17:27.947 --> 01:17:29.209
Kinda surprised
she's not indulging in
1504
01:17:29.253 --> 01:17:31.168
the snow-angel-shaped pancakes.
1505
01:17:32.691 --> 01:17:36.695
-Izzi left, son.
-What do you mean she left?
1506
01:17:36.782 --> 01:17:38.523
Well, she said
she was finished with her book,
1507
01:17:38.566 --> 01:17:41.004
so she was gonna go home.
1508
01:17:41.047 --> 01:17:42.701
On, no. On Christmas Day? No.
1509
01:17:42.788 --> 01:17:47.184
Wait, that,
it doesn't make sense. Why...
1510
01:17:47.271 --> 01:17:50.274
Well, she did say
a couple of things that were--
1511
01:17:50.361 --> 01:17:54.104
Uh, should I make a plate
for Izzi?
1512
01:17:54.191 --> 01:17:58.543
Ah. Turns out she already left,
princess.
1513
01:17:58.630 --> 01:18:00.414
This morning.
1514
01:18:00.501 --> 01:18:04.418
But I thought she was supposed
to spend Christmas with us.
1515
01:18:04.505 --> 01:18:06.507
Yeah, me, too.
1516
01:18:06.551 --> 01:18:08.466
Hey, go grab us a-a table, okay?
1517
01:18:08.553 --> 01:18:09.902
Yeah.
1518
01:18:16.996 --> 01:18:20.478
-What did she say, dad?
-Oh.
1519
01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:50.290
If you're calling to fire me,
do it quick.
1520
01:18:50.334 --> 01:18:52.118
Please put me out of my misery.
1521
01:18:52.205 --> 01:18:55.382
Merry Christmas to you, too.
1522
01:18:55.469 --> 01:18:57.297
Sorry. Merry Christmas.
1523
01:18:57.384 --> 01:18:58.908
I was calling
about the book,
1524
01:18:58.995 --> 01:19:01.475
but it feels like
we should talk about
1525
01:19:01.519 --> 01:19:04.609
what on Earth could've possibly
dampened your Christmas spirit.
1526
01:19:04.696 --> 01:19:07.743
No, it's okay, just hit me
with the book stuff first.
1527
01:19:07.830 --> 01:19:12.573
Iz, it's great!
1528
01:19:12.660 --> 01:19:14.619
-Really?
Yes!
1529
01:19:14.662 --> 01:19:19.232
This version of Desmond has
this new depth and vulnerability
1530
01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:21.626
that makes him feel
completely three-dimensional.
1531
01:19:21.713 --> 01:19:24.107
I'm glad you're happy with it.
1532
01:19:24.150 --> 01:19:27.023
Uh, just one thing,
the last page,
1533
01:19:27.110 --> 01:19:30.156
Desmond and Catarina
don't end up together.
1534
01:19:30.243 --> 01:19:32.028
I mean, I'm just surprised.
1535
01:19:32.071 --> 01:19:34.682
And I don't think
the publisher will go for it.
1536
01:19:34.726 --> 01:19:37.294
They want an ever after.
They want a happy ending.
1537
01:19:37.381 --> 01:19:39.687
Maybe that's not what
real love is, though.
1538
01:19:39.731 --> 01:19:42.603
Maybe sometimes
it ends with a broken heart.
1539
01:19:42.690 --> 01:19:44.649
What do you mean
"A broken heart?"
1540
01:19:46.216 --> 01:19:47.957
Are you talking about Matt?
1541
01:19:48.044 --> 01:19:50.524
You remember when I asked you
about the original artist
1542
01:19:50.568 --> 01:19:53.789
for my books?
It turns out it was Matt's wife.
1543
01:19:55.703 --> 01:19:57.444
Oh!
1544
01:19:57.531 --> 01:20:00.012
You're kidding.
1545
01:20:00.099 --> 01:20:01.971
That's--
-Unbelievable? I know.
1546
01:20:02.058 --> 01:20:04.887
And it seemed
to really derail him.
1547
01:20:04.974 --> 01:20:08.934
Oh. Iz, I'm so sorry.
1548
01:20:09.021 --> 01:20:12.764
I took your advice, and I tried
to open myself up to real love,
1549
01:20:12.851 --> 01:20:15.201
and then I ended up
getting my heart ground down
1550
01:20:15.245 --> 01:20:17.203
with sandpaper.
1551
01:20:17.247 --> 01:20:18.814
You told him how you felt?
1552
01:20:18.901 --> 01:20:22.252
I mean, no, not directly.
1553
01:20:22.339 --> 01:20:24.515
But you already left?
1554
01:20:24.602 --> 01:20:27.387
That's it?
1555
01:20:27.474 --> 01:20:30.477
Okay, Iz, stop the car.
You need to hear this.
1556
01:20:30.564 --> 01:20:32.175
And I don't want you driving
when I say it.
1557
01:20:32.262 --> 01:20:34.699
-Seriously?
-Yeah, seriously.
1558
01:20:43.055 --> 01:20:45.449
-Okay.
-Yes.
1559
01:20:45.536 --> 01:20:47.712
You opened yourself up
to the possibility
1560
01:20:47.755 --> 01:20:51.020
of being with Matt, but then
you walked away before you...
1561
01:20:52.717 --> 01:20:56.068
All you can do is look ahead,
1562
01:20:56.155 --> 01:20:59.289
aim, take a breath
and release.
1563
01:20:59.376 --> 01:21:00.899
The rest is out of your hands,
1564
01:21:00.943 --> 01:21:02.945
but at least
you took your shot.
1565
01:21:03.032 --> 01:21:06.035
Wait. Those are my words.
1566
01:21:06.122 --> 01:21:08.907
I wrote that.
That's from Archer's Quiver.
1567
01:21:08.994 --> 01:21:12.258
Yeah. So take your own advice.
1568
01:21:15.609 --> 01:21:16.915
Okay.
1569
01:21:17.002 --> 01:21:19.135
-Okay?
Yeah.
1570
01:21:19.178 --> 01:21:21.833
And do me a favor
and hold off on that last page.
1571
01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:23.791
-Copy that.
Thanks.
1572
01:21:23.879 --> 01:21:26.664
Good luck.

1579
01:21:49.121 --> 01:21:51.950
-Hey.
-Hi.
1580
01:21:51.994 --> 01:21:53.256
I don't understand
what happened.
1581
01:21:53.299 --> 01:21:55.040
I texted you
like a million times.
1582
01:21:55.127 --> 01:21:56.781
I needed a second.
1583
01:21:57.782 --> 01:22:00.002
Why are you back?
1584
01:22:00.089 --> 01:22:02.221
Because I'm here
to take my shot.
1585
01:22:06.443 --> 01:22:08.749
I spoke to my dad. Uh...
1586
01:22:11.970 --> 01:22:14.190
I am so confused.
1587
01:22:14.277 --> 01:22:17.367
Did you leave because
of what I said last night?
1588
01:22:17.454 --> 01:22:20.457
I saw you and Jennifer
after the Lights Festival.
1589
01:22:20.544 --> 01:22:21.632
And?
1590
01:22:21.675 --> 01:22:24.026
And you looked perfect together.
1591
01:22:24.069 --> 01:22:25.941
And, I mean, clearly
she has feelings for you.
1592
01:22:26.028 --> 01:22:29.683
Why wouldn't she?
You're amazing.
1593
01:22:29.770 --> 01:22:33.122
So you had said
all those things about
1594
01:22:33.209 --> 01:22:36.255
not knowing how you felt, and
when I saw you two together--
1595
01:22:36.342 --> 01:22:39.650
Izzi, stop. No, I don't have
feelings for Jennifer.
1596
01:22:42.609 --> 01:22:44.611
I have feelings for you.
1597
01:22:49.486 --> 01:22:50.878
I wish
you would've said something.
1598
01:22:50.966 --> 01:22:52.837
Wish you would've asked me,
trusted me.
1599
01:22:52.924 --> 01:22:54.665
But instead you left. I...
1600
01:22:56.580 --> 01:22:58.495
I don't know if I can do this.
1601
01:22:59.713 --> 01:23:01.150
I'm sorry.
1602
01:23:05.545 --> 01:23:07.156
Matt, wait.
1603
01:23:11.595 --> 01:23:16.469
Okay. I've built my career
on writing a fairy-tale romance.
1604
01:23:16.556 --> 01:23:19.211
But my biggest mistake wasn't
making Desmond too perfect,
1605
01:23:19.298 --> 01:23:21.909
it was that I was trying to find
someone like him,
1606
01:23:21.997 --> 01:23:25.522
instead of finding someone
who is perfect for me.
1607
01:23:26.958 --> 01:23:28.003
Matt...
1608
01:23:29.613 --> 01:23:32.181
I know
that being open to real love
1609
01:23:32.268 --> 01:23:36.359
means being open to all of it,
even the hard parts.
1610
01:23:38.926 --> 01:23:40.493
Izzi, I...
1611
01:23:47.587 --> 01:23:48.545
I...
1612
01:23:51.678 --> 01:23:53.767
I got you a Christmas present.
1613
01:23:53.811 --> 01:23:56.727
-What is it?
-Well, open it.
1614
01:24:07.129 --> 01:24:10.654
The wobbly doorknob?
1615
01:24:10.741 --> 01:24:13.439
Well, you taught me
how to be sentimental.
1616
01:24:13.483 --> 01:24:16.051
Squeaky floor
wouldn't fit in the box. I...
1617
01:24:18.488 --> 01:24:21.665
More than that,
you opened the door to my heart.
1618
01:24:21.752 --> 01:24:23.145
I know the book cover
threw me for a loop,
1619
01:24:23.232 --> 01:24:24.450
but this morning I realized
1620
01:24:24.494 --> 01:24:26.365
it-it's not just a coincidence,
1621
01:24:26.452 --> 01:24:27.584
it's more than
just a coincidence,
1622
01:24:27.671 --> 01:24:30.978
it's, it's a gift.
1623
01:24:31.022 --> 01:24:33.546
It's a gift from Emily.
She brought us together.
1624
01:24:37.681 --> 01:24:39.944
You're the one I want, Izzi.
1625
01:24:39.987 --> 01:24:42.077
You're the one I want, too.
1626
01:24:55.481 --> 01:24:57.048
I think that's the first time
we've actually agreed
1627
01:24:57.135 --> 01:24:58.136
on something.
1628
01:24:58.180 --> 01:25:01.270
This is how my book should end.
1629
01:25:01.357 --> 01:25:04.099
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.
1630
01:25:27.905 --> 01:25:31.909
I gotta say, I like Matt
even better than Desmond Ranes.
1631
01:25:31.996 --> 01:25:33.650
Plus, he inspired
Christmas In The Alps,
1632
01:25:33.693 --> 01:25:35.217
which is my favorite one yet.
1633
01:25:35.304 --> 01:25:36.696
And your best-reviewed.
1634
01:25:36.783 --> 01:25:39.003
Okay, okay,
don't get a big head.
1635
01:25:39.046 --> 01:25:41.484
-Too late.
1636
01:25:41.571 --> 01:25:45.705
Kacey, I want you to meet
my friend and editor, Mila.
1637
01:25:45.792 --> 01:25:47.272
-Hi.
-Hello.
1638
01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:50.536
This is a very talented
and up-and-coming writer.
1639
01:25:50.623 --> 01:25:55.019
-Is that so?
-And I have a lot of ideas.
1640
01:25:55.106 --> 01:25:58.022
Well, I think
we should step into my office.
1641
01:26:00.894 --> 01:26:04.028
So what's next
for the bestselling novelist
1642
01:26:04.071 --> 01:26:07.249
and recently-engaged
Izzi Simmons?
1643
01:26:07.336 --> 01:26:08.728
'Cause I've a few thoughts.
1644
01:26:08.815 --> 01:26:10.730
-Oh, really?
-Well...
1645
01:26:10.774 --> 01:26:14.386
Maybe the new-and-improved
Desmond is a Navy scuba diver
1646
01:26:14.430 --> 01:26:16.214
in Hawaii.
1647
01:26:16.301 --> 01:26:18.216
Though, you and your fiance
would probably have to do
1648
01:26:18.260 --> 01:26:20.087
a lot of research.
1649
01:26:20.131 --> 01:26:23.047
-I like the sound of that.
-Yeah.
1650
01:26:23.134 --> 01:26:25.180
-Come on.
1651
01:26:37.453 --> 01:26:38.889
Yeah.
