03x03 - Something's Gotta Give

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Cedar Cove...

Grace asked me to run the town event committee.

You want something from me that I can't give you.

What, forgiveness?

I feel like I'm cheating on Jack.

How?

There's a problem with the investors.

So, you want to hire me to be your assistant?

Hey. Boy, you weren't easy to catch up to, but I, too, have been known to take out my frustrations on the pavement.

I'm not frustrated.

[Laughs] Okay.

Well, I'm a little frustrated by a certain defense attorney.

But you can help if you have time for a sit down later today?

Sure.

I've got a final divorce decree this morning, but if you're free this afternoon?

I am.

I don't envy you.

Envy me?

I think I became a D.A. so I wouldn't have to handle divorce cases.

[Laughs]

That's a bit extreme.

Divorce is a bottomless pit of hatred binding two people together whose only goal is to inflict emotional and financial pain on someone they swore they'd love until death.

If you ask my opinion.

Wow, so, a personal or professional observation?

Uh, both.

Not observational. Fact.

No, observation, not fact.

And yes, a lot of divorces end up ugly, but most of the time, it's just about distribution of assets accrued during a marriage.

A divorce is an autopsy of a marriage.

Said the pessimist.

Oh, and I suppose you had one of those "amicable" divorces?

You did!

I thought they were just legend.

[Chuckling]

Do you want to talk about it?

Well, we already are, aren't we?

Um...

A great woman, but she has issues.

And I thought I could change her...

I know.

Or... save her.

And I failed on both fronts.

Do you regret it?

Well, at this point in my life, I didn't think I'd be living in a three-star hotel, alone, eating cold takeout every night, so...

I regret that.

But I've come to realize that if you're with the wrong person...

You're alone anyway.

Okay, well, no more takeout for you.

No more? [Laughs]

Yeah. You have to go to the Time & Tide bed and breakfast, and tell them that I sent you.

Okay.

And they will take really good care of you, and they'll feed you.

Food, too?

Yeah!

[♪♪]

You look awful.

[Scoffs] Thank you.

No, really bad.

Okay, got it.

Gonna tell me?

Olivia and I had a bad fight, and I have two deadlines at two different papers.

Well, you can't push her to move in with you just to make yourself feel better, you know.

I'm not pushing her.

Okay, maybe I'm pushing, a little.

Yeah.

I just don't want to lose her, Bob.

30, 40 years ago, if you loved a woman, the only way you could live with her was with a priest and a reception, or if she was your mother.

We're not a couple of kids, Bob.

We've both been married before, remember.

And divorced.

Just give her some space, hmm?

And time for her to trust you again.

She'll find her way back to you.

And if she doesn't?

You got to have faith.

Yeah.

Hey, I was just wondering, who's that new guy that I keep seeing with Olivia?

You mean, Paul? The new D.A.?

Yeah.

He seems a little too friendly.

I'm not sure I like the cut of his jib.

He has a bad jib, does he?

You just watch him.

Okay.

I will watch him and his jib.

I have decided on what will be my first official act for me as town manager, and your first act as town event manager.

Great.

We are going to take a group photo of everyone in Cedar Cove!

The whole town?

Yes!

We are going to meet tonight at dusk, at the marina.

We are going to form a big group, and...

[imitates a shutter clicking]

Picture!

End of story.

Right? Right?

Tonight?

Why so fast?

Yeah, well, I kind of, you know, got ahead of myself a bit, because I sent out the e-mail before I...

Thought it through?

I could really use a whole lot more "can do" and a little less "can't do" from you.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Reporting for work.

First day.

Oh, right.

The job.

Did we set a time?

Yes, an hour ago.

[Sighs] My bad.

Um, have you had breakfast?

It's lunchtime.

That's an excellent point.

Uh, why don't I put my stuff away, and then we'll figure out what's what.

Hey.

Come on in.

You look busy.

New job, just doing 12 things at once.

How's that working for you?

Great.

I, uh, could live without my boss sometimes, but everyone says that, right?

You okay?

No, not really.

It's Warren.

[Scoffs]

Warren...

If only we could run people out of town with pitchforks and torches, huh?

Actually, with Warren, I could get a group together like that... [Snaps fingers]

He's blackmailing me, or threatening to.

About what?

[Sighs heavily]

Back when I was a trader, I had an elderly couple as clients.

They couldn't come to the office, so I went to their house with some stock transactions.

Well, trading outside of the office is against SEC regulations.

This guy in our office told my boss.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's pretty competitive in the world of trading.

You use any edge you can get to get rid of the competition, and I gave him a big one.

I got barred from trading and fired.

It made the papers and everything.

Has Warren told Buck anything?

You should come clean, tell him everything.

At the very least, you'll ruin Warren's fun, but more importantly, you should get ahead of the story.

Make sure that you tell your story, not Warren.

[Knock on door]

Hey.

[Sighing]

Do you think the light's gonna be okay at 5:00?

'Cause I mean, if it's too bright, then...

The town photo.

I don't want a town picture full of squinters.

You know, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Your windows are all fogged up.

[Chuckles]

Did you talk to Jack?

Not yet.

Well, you have to.

You have a fight, you have to make up.

That's the best part, hearing them say, "I'm sorry.

You were right.

I'm an idiot."

That was my ringtone when I was married to Dan.

Not that, you know, Jack is Dan.

I can move past the fact that he was drinking behind my back, and even though I don't like her, I'm over the fact he was hanging out with Jeri.

Then what is it?

What if this relapse wasn't an isolated incident?

What if this is what I'm signing up for?

Hi.

I'm uh, Paul Watson.

I called earlier, I spoke to your wife, she said you had a vacancy?

It filled.

In an hour?

Yup. We're very popular.

And friendly.

[Chuckling]

Yes, to most people, I am friendly.

Paul?

Peggy?

Welcome.

Thank you. Hi.

I've got a great room for you, very private, very quiet, in the back.

Dinner is at 7:00, so, do you have any allergies?

I will eat anything you put in front of me.

I love guests when they say that.

Come on.

Okay.

This is feeling suspiciously like an excuse to give me money and not a job, which is what my mom thought it would be, so it's doubly upsetting that this is making her right.

It is a job.

I need you.

I have business.

All I've done so far is drive you to this restaurant.

Correction, you drove me to a business meeting, which is what assistants do.

Uncle Will...

It's true!

This is...

Justine.

Warren.

Will, right?

Yeah, it is.

Hey. It's been a while.

Yeah, sit, please.

Warren, we have a business meeting.

Yeah, I know.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

It's with me.

Warren and I might do a little business together.

So, if the terms are agreeable to both parties, we can move on with the final divorce decree.

Your Honor.

I would like to keep the house.

What?

[Olivia sighs]

If you can't decide on the disposition of the house, you're going to have to pay your lawyers more money, and spend days in court fighting each other.

It's costly, and it's not necessary.

You've already amicably split all other assets.

It won't be costly.

A trial is always expensive.

I'm sure that if you two speak with your attorneys, that they will agree the best thing for both of you...

It was us.

What?

I'm a lawyer.

So am I, Your Honor.

Hi.

I've been thinking.

[Sighs heavily]

Look, there's something that I need to say.

Okay.

Moving in together would be a mistake.

I got ahead of myself, and, uh...

We're just not ready.

And maybe we won't ever be ready, and that's fine, too.

I'm sorry we fought.

I just was feeling cornered.

Exactly.

From now on, we'll just spend time together, or not.

We'll just let things unfold.

No pressure.

Okay?

Okay.

I just want to make sure that you know how sorry I am for everything.

I wish that I could undo it, but I can't.

All right.

[Sighs]

I sure hope there's going to be enough room at the marina.

I sent out so many e-mails.

I'm sure you'll be able to squeeze everyone in.

You do know that the photo's being taken at sunset.

John knows that, right?

Because he's always late.

He'll be there.

So, have you given, you know, any more thought as to what kind of menu you're going to have?

The Galley, when you and John take over.

Um, Mom...

Our investor backed out.

So, what does that mean?

We can't buy the Galley.

But you're not going to leave Cedar Cove?

I'm sure that's what John wants to do.

Honey, no!

I can talk to John.

No. Don't.

Please don't talk to John.

We'll find another investor, really.

Mom, let's not talk about this, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

[Brisk knock]

I saw your divorcing lawyers in the hall.

They seem fun.

Definitely erring on the side of ugly.

But no doubt you'll steer them towards a quick resolution.

They don't want one.

They do. They hate each other.

Thin line, right?

True, true, but they don't want to be together, so I just say, you know, cool down and play ball.

No, she wants to hate him, which means, he hurt her.

Which is why they're getting divorced, right?

It's not that simple, no divorce is.

It's not about the house.

Then what's it about?

I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

Oh...

A little Sherlock under the robes, huh?

Every good judge is part detective.

Well, you are better than good.

Um...

Uh, by the way, Peggy called me.

Yeah, I just got a room at the thyme and tide.

Peggy and Bob are so sweet.

Peggy, yeah.

Okay, Bob can be a little gruff, but underneath, he is just a big teddy bear.

Yeah, he seems like such a nice guy, who wants me to leave.

The Thyme & Tide?

No, Cedar Cove, I think.

I don't know, he spent a lot of time talking about you.

Me?

Yeah. And Jack.

Oh.

We're, um... we're taking a break, or, uh, stepping back...

Actually, I'm not sure what we're doing.

We were talking about moving in together, and now we're not.

It's complicated.

All relationships are.

I would literally pay you to change the subject.

I'll do it for free.

[Gasps dramatically]

Want to talk about arson?

[Laughs]

So much so.

[Laughing]

Well...

Voilà.

What do you think?

When we met the other day, I told you that I wanted to buy a house to flip, like an investment property.

No, I understand that, Will, but I don't do that kind of real estate.

I'm a developer.

It's more money to be made all around.

[Sighs] I don't know.

Okay, come on, look, if you can flip a house, you can develop a piece of land.

I had a friend of mine on the county board who tells me this property right here is being zoned for multi-units.

So, how much are we talking about?

Gotta spend money to make money, my friend.

[Inhales] Hmm.

I'll give my business manager a call.

[Chuckling] Okay.

[Sighing with satisfaction]

So...

I, uh, heard you dumped Seth.

No, I dumped you.

Seth and I broke up.

Right.

Well, it's nice to see you change your careers as often as you change your men.

It's consistent, but it's sporadic, which is hard to achieve, but kudos to you.

Didn't change some of them fast enough.

[Chuckles]

Well, looking forward to working with you.

You're working with my uncle, not with me.

You know, you're right.

You are working for him, and he's working with me, so you see how that's a nice happy coincidence?

William!

Will: ... Okay, good, talk to you soon. Bye.

I really appreciate you meeting with me, Peggy.

I didn't know who else to call.

Of course.

I want to tell you something, but I'm afraid it'll change the way you feel about me, about Corrie and me.

Roy, I love you both, so that's never gonna change.

And I know, whatever it is, it's been eating at Corrie, too, so anything I can do to help, I'm here.

You know most of this, I'm sure, but, um, Corrie and I broke up for a while while we were young.

Yeah, I remember.

I didn't know it at the time, but she was pregnant.

And she put the baby... our baby... up for adoption.

I didn't know about it until years later until it was, uh, it was too late.

Well, you can't blame Corrie for that.

She was doing what she thought was right at the time.

I'm not blaming anybody, I just...

I just want to try and make things right, that's all.

But Corrie won't let me.

[Sighs]

Let me see what I can do.

Thanks.

Packing up?

Warren.

Hey, Dad.

Listen, I got a little surprise for you.

Does this surprise have anything to do with Alex losing her broker's license and getting fired?

Or do you have some other surprise for me?

She told you?

I knew before I hired her.

It's called due diligence.

And you still want her here?

Hasn't stopped you from working here.

Look, your childish attitude toward Alex is hurting this company.

My company.

Something's gotta give, son.

Or maybe someone's gotta go.

That is definitely an option, but it's not gonna be Alex.

Okay. Fine.

I quit.

I know this town, and you don't.

And I'm going to go out there, I'm gonna start my own business, and when I do, I'm going to do everything in my power to drive the you both right out of Cedar Cove.

You understand me?

Dad.

Alex?

Yes?

Have the locks changed.

Hey.

Hey.

Wow...

Smell of bait is a real turn-on, is it?

[Chuckles]

I just missed you.

I'm not complaining.

How was your first day with your uncle?

Uneasy.

Well, let me see if I can make it better.

I've been stood up.

By an entire town.

Where were you?

Olivia: When?

Yesterday? The town photo?

I'm sorry, I had court.

I sent you an e-mail.

I couldn't have been missed, I'm only one person.

Only a handful of people showed up.

Everybody I know had some kind of an excuse, and the ones I don't know didn't show up either.

It was supposed to be so simple.

I'm sorry.

Well, fortunately for you and our friendship, I'm rescheduling.

I'll be there.

I promise.

Well, you seem better, not great, but better.

What's going on?

With Jack?

No, the economy.

Yes, Jack.

He said that we should, um...

"Hang out," and take the pressure off of both of us.

Well, that's good. It sounds like he's trying.

You did say you wanted him to back off.

Yeah, back off living together, not back off in general.

Hmm.

Might be a little too nuanced for a guy.

So, I've been thinking, and talking to Peggy.

I think that we should send our information to the agency, and if she still wants to meet with us, then we'll just take it from there.

[Chuckles]

Why are you laughing?

I'm just relieved, I guess.

I sent it in a few days ago.

I knew you'd come around.

I hoped you would.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I know you pretty well, and I knew this is what you wanted.

You want to meet your daughter.

I'm scared.

Just like everything else, we're in it together.

Don't forget that.

Hey, Bob, I'm glad you're here, because I need you.

We need risers.

No, you don't.

Oh, yes, we do, because we need to make sure everybody gets seen.

Mm-hmm, and they won't be seen.

That e-mail blast of yours, somebody reported you to the county, the county sent out their own blast, putting the kibosh on the whole thing.

That's why no one showed.

But why would somebody do that?

Well, officially, an event this large, you need a permit.

You didn't tell me we needed a permit... you didn't tell me you were going to do this before you did it.

I thought you might get away with it.

Okay, fine, you know what we're gonna do, we will go out and get this permit and we will reschedule.

All right, when do you want to do that, next summer or next fall?

They've issued all the permits for this summer already.

So, no picture.

No.

No Seattle Living AM?

No.

Then I failed, Bob!

No...

Yes, I did.

It was my first big test as town manager, and I just failed!

Grace...

You didn't lead us into w*r.

Settle down.

This will all work out.

No, it won't.

I really don't think so.

Is it too late to get Norman back?

Yes.

[Knocks]

Okay, it's officially a record.

I have never seen this many witnesses being called for a divorce case.

Their banker?

To testify who made the down payment.

Oh, of course.

Their realtor?

To testify who found the house.

I should have got that one.

Their gardener and housekeepers.

To prove who took care of the house.

Want to go to final jeopardy where the score really adds up?

No. No, I don't.

They have filed motion on top of motion.

[Scoffs] Lawyers.

I am serious!

It's an abuse of court.

Well, you can block all extraneous motions.

I thought about that, but then I realized there's something missing.

A motion?

A witness.

Nice job, Sherlock.

This was left for you at the front.

Oh, you order in?

No, I didn't.

Oh. What is it?

Ah, it's beef and broccoli.

There's no beef.

Jack eats the beef, I eat the broccoli.

If Jack's here, why didn't he come in?

He's giving me space.

Good times?

A lot of them.

Well then, there's a lot to save.

Yes. There is.

[Laughs]

All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Buck told me.

Buck told you?

Yeah, at breakfast.

You had breakfast with my father?

Just about every day, yeah.

He is good people.

Okay, Moon, look, I'm good person, too, you know.

[Chuckles ruefully] Not so good.

Actually, uh, not good at all.

Okay, you know what, enough.

You know, I'm done with Saget, done with my father.

I am going out on my own, Moon, and I've got big plans.

Well, I hope your plans take you really far, Warren.

Seriously.

Far... far away.

Like maybe a state or two away.

I wouldn't give my father the satisfaction.

[Chuckles]

This has all the makings of a Greek tragedy.

You and your father, reason why I don't need cable.

Okay, Grace, I'll call you later.

Aw, Grace is pretty upset about not being able to do this town photo.

I just feel horrible.

Well, it's not your fault.

I didn't ask if she had a permit, I just assumed she did.

I just don't think it's going to happen.

There's not much you can do.

I could call the county clerk, but they're pretty strict.

Why don't we go for a drink?

Take your mind off of it.

You can talk about anyone, anything...

Grace, Jack... it won't go any further.

Attorney-client privilege.

You're not my attorney.

Give me a dollar.

You want me to give you a dollar?

I want you to give me a dollar.

There.

You have now secured my legal services.

Now anything you say cannot be divulged.

Well, what if I don't want to talk?

I do some of my best work in silence.

Okay, one... one drink.

One drink.

So, this seems like a good fit.

You need the cash, I need a tax shelter.

Yeah.

We need to talk to the bank.

I could finance the whole thing.

Cut the bank right out of it, save the fees.

That'd be great.

Of course, I would need a bigger percentage of the profits.

Control of the books.

I'd need to bring a few of my key people in, you know, to protect my investment.

Yeah.

Maryellen?

Oh, I think, um...

John and I need to talk.

Alone.

Yeah.

I'll be in touch.

Bye.

[♪♪]

Jack, I know what's going on with you two.

I'm concerned about Mom.

Justine, she is one of the strongest people I know.

She's tough, but she's not, you know?

She needs you to fight for her.

[Sighs]

Sometimes even strong people need a push in the right direction.

Well, you know, I tried pushing, and that backfired on me.

She loves you.

She misses you, I can tell.

If you want her in your life, I'm telling you, you need to fight for her, and you need to do it now.

You've been busy.

You've ruined my credit, managed to bad-mouth me to any possible new partners, which has made it virtually impossible for me to start over.

Mm-hmm.

Are you ready to come back?

I don't like her.

Nah, you just haven't figured out how to play her.

There's a difference.

Alex is a part of this company.

Dad, I really don't think I can work with her.

Your new company credit card.

It's all yours, if you promise to play nice.

Your Honor, may I ask what this meeting's about?

I couldn't help but notice that you had everyone on your witness list except your contractor.

You listed your housekeeper, but not the person who did major renovations on your home, and I found that a little odd.

Well, neither of us felt it was important.

Did you have a relationship with Jennifer Carter, your contractor?

He had an affair.

One bad decision.

It was one act, one night.

I regretted it then, and I regret it now, but she just can't let it go and move forward.

We tried couples' therapy.

We tried relationship retreats.

If you two really wanted a divorce, you would already be divorced, instead of using this house to stay connected.

And clog up my docket.

Go back to therapy.

You may surprise yourself.

Or I could hold you both in contempt, lock you in a cell together until you start acting like adults.

And I can, you know.

[Bangs gavel]

Bye-bye.

I don't feel comfortable with Jimmy.

I'm sorry, I say no to borrowing money from him.

I agree.

Yeah?

I don't want to get into business with any more shady people.

Then why would you?

To make you happy.

Us. Us happy.

I'm happy in New York.

You aren't. I get it.

What I love, you don't.

My life isn't here.

"My? My?"

What about "us", huh?

What about me?

It's not just about you, it's about us.

It's always been about us.

No, not since we moved away.

[Scoffs] Motorcycle.

What are you talking about?

There's always one guy who thinks he's all that, and that guy?

Is that guy.

Hey.

Hey!

Um, I've decided to stay on.

Really?

Yeah, on a month-to-month, basis, if that's okay?

Yes. Great.

Great! Uh, dinner, 7:00? Kitchen?

Mm-hmm.

You can always eat in your room.

And miss your company? Never.

I'm making scones for breakfast.

Will you take some to the courthouse for Olivia?

Absolutely. I love your scones.

Aw.

And I love those clogs.

It takes a big man to wear that shade.

If you keep feeding him, he'll never leave.

Bob...

I have to go hammer something.

I want a new pair of gardening shoes.

Black.

Mom, I don't want to go back to New York.

This is my home.

I've missed it.

I've missed you.

Aw, sweetie.

I've missed you, too.

But for what it's worth, I have learned some things over the years.

One person, you never have to compromise.

Two people, you have to compromise.

It's just math.

But if you're in the right relationship, a compromise never feels like a compromise.

[Chuckles fondly]

Thanks, Mom.

Hey there.

What can I get you for?

I'd love an iced tea.

How much do I owe you?

[Stammering] Actually, uh, it's on the house.

Just a little courtesy we extend to our men and women in blue.

Well, that's kind of you.

So, uh...

You here on...

Business or for pleasure?

I just moved here.

Oh, you have family here.

No, I don't know anybody.

I decided to give small town life a try.

Oh, well, you have chosen the best small town there is.

Welcome, uh... ?

Gloria.

Gloria.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Moon.

I'll get your tea.

Bob!

I'm here.

What do you want to talk to me about?

Well, actually, uh, it's about Peggy.

She feels pretty bad about this whole town photo thing.

No, it's my fault.

It was just too big a project to start with.

Yeah, I wouldn't quite say that.

[Gasping in delight]

[Laughs]

[♪♪]

Bob, how did you make this happen?

Well, a little bird named Olivia let me in on a loophole.

You only need a permit for organized activities.

Nothing says that the town can't get together, at the same time, and if someone happens to take a picture, well, you don't need a permit for a spontaneous moment captured on film.

[Laughs]

But you got everyone to show up.

Peggy activated the community phone tree.

We have a phone tree?

We do now.

She got everybody in town to call each other.

Low-tech beats high-tech.

[Chuckling]

So...

Guess I'll just leave quietly, right?

Make sure you lock up.

Alex and I are going over for the town picture.

You're kidding me, right?

When have you ever been into that cornball mayberry stuff?

In a town like this, an event like that is public relations gold.

I tell you what, if I see you at the town photo, I'll accept it as an apology, and then I'll see you bright and early tomorrow, here.

That's as easy as I'm going to make it for you to come back, kid.

Consider it an early birthday present.

[Battery whining]

I hate this.

I know. Me too.

I should go back with you.

No.

No, I get it, you don't like New York.

I'm going to go back, and I'll get us an investor.

I can do that.

You believe me, right?

I do.

My leaving is just temporary.

I know.

You belong here, I belong with you, it's just going to take some time to set that up.

You'll wait?

I will.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Now, let's get you in your best light.

[Chuckling and muttering]

It's called the Jerry Garcia look.

Hey, Moon.

I don't believe it.

What?

So...

You decided to come.

Well, how could I miss a family photo, Dad?

I'm going back east for a week or two.

So, this will be a test run to see if things go smoothly while I'm out of the office.

We'll get along just fine, don't worry.

Card, please.

Great, now things can get back to normal around here...

I'm putting Alex in charge.

First rule of business, nothing is free.

Yeah, Dad, that sounds like the first rule of being your son.

[Chuckles]

Justine...

Who's that?

Warren Saget.

Oh, how do you know him?

Saget Developments?

Oh, is that the guy your uncle Will's going to be going into business with?

Warren and Will?

Cliff?

I thought you were at the auction.

I drove all night.

Aw...

I couldn't miss your first official act as town manager.

Hi.

Hey.

Oh, boy, here comes trouble.

Hi, Bob!

Paul.

What do you say we move you over here, away from Olivia?

For balance, huh?

Great.

Hi.

Hey there.

Can we talk for a moment?

It's important.

All right.

Look, um...

There are a million reasons why we shouldn't be together.

My struggle with sobriety is... not something that's going away.

It's something I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life.

And if we end up together the way that I want us to, it's something you're going to have to live with, too.

I know.

But...

I think we...

We need to go back before we go forward, and it's not just what happened recently that makes me feel that way.

I don't understand.

We got together so fast.

Well, love at first sight, right?

Yes, I know, but love has never been our problem.

Hmm, so, what is?

We need more than love to fall back on.

We do?

Yes.

Let's take our time, and really get to know each other.

Let's go slow.

Slow, fast, medium, I don't care...

As long as I have you back in my life.

You got me.

Oh, hey, I'm Alex.

I, uh... Paul Watson.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Places! Places, everyone!

Oh, wait. Just wait!

I have great news.

You're going into business with Warren Saget?

Yup.

Real estate development.

Really?

Yes.

Starting with Mom's.

She said she would call you, decided to stay at the Cape.

She's giving us the house.

We're going to make a fortune.

That is one amazing town photo.

John is a great photographer.

You can't even tell that I want to strangle Will.

We both know you can't take a bad picture.

You even made braces look good.

Not true, but thank you.

Oh, that is a really great picture of Warren.

Yeah, great picture of a not so great man.

True.

Oh, look at you, you're practically glowing.

I'm practically engaged.

I just can't believe that people put aside whatever drama they had just to show up for this photo.

Well, that's Cedar Cove.

Mm, it's the best town in America.
