peace, your source of tranquility.

And that is where Blue Cosmos sandals come in.

Made from Earth -friendly material, it's a win for your feet and the Earth. So

try on a pair. The opulent comfort will surprise you. Take care of your soul,

and your soul will soar.

Thank you, Eden.

Perhaps we should see how Mr. Grayson feels.

You don't understand our product.

I think I do.

Well, I think you don't.

Our customers like that we're simple and ecologically responsible.

You have it painted like it's some luxury bed for your feet.

Well, I...

thought comfort would be a key appeal given the steep price point.

We won't be using that.

Well, is there another angle you would prefer I try?

That's all.

Mr. Grayson, let me just tell you we have a... I

researched and researched and ran

surveys and everything, and Grayson is wrong.

His customers are buying flip -flops.

They want something comfortable on their feet for cheap.

Well, I'm glad you didn't tell them this.

Why? Don't we want our clients to succeed?

We want them to be happy.

And we want them to be our clients still.

Did they fire us?

No.

No, I convinced them to stay and to give us a second chance.

Okay. Well, good.

I'll give them what they think they want. I'm giving it to someone else.

Oh.

Look. Eden, you're bright and you're hardworking, but lately something's off.

You're not connecting with the client.

And it's like you lost your drive. You used to knock these pitches out of the

park with a passionate rival, P .T. Barnum. Look, I can try harder.

It's not that you don't work hard enough.

Maybe you need a change.

Are you firing me?

No, no, I just... I want you to take a break, though.

Take a week or two off.

recharge, figure out what you need, and then come back fired up.

Uh... Okay.

What am I going to do?

Enjoy the time off.

Sure, and conveniently ignore the fact that my job is on the line. You didn't

say that, did you?

Michael, when your boss says he doesn't like your work and orders you to take

time off, none of that.

It's good.

You deserve a good vacation.

Like I'll be able to enjoy it while I worry about my career.

Take Michael with you.

You could come with me.

I wish I could. Things at work are crazy right now.

Tax season is over.

We've had a huge increase in filing extensions for some reason this year,

I just can't take time off right now.

Speaking of, I should get back to the office.

Make sure you get home at some point. I'll call at night around 10. I'm sorry.

Thank you for dinner. Sure.

See you, Michael. Good night, Kate. Bye, honey. Good night.

Okay, you should go somewhere.

I can keep an eye on things here. You know, grab your melon, all that.

Great. Well, what are good neighbors for?

I don't even know where I would go.

Oh, what about somewhere where you can just clear your head?

There is one place I can think of.

Hey, are you busy next week?

Other than hair appointments? No.

We can get someone else to pick up the mail.

Okay, where are we going?

I've never been to Lake Tahoe before.

You'll love it.

family's summer home?

Yeah, it was my grandparents' place and they willed it to my parents.

We'd spend every summer here growing up. I loved it.

My parents renovated it a couple years ago. But no one lives here right now.

year -round.

I called my mom and she said we could come and dust it off.

Feel free to call me to death this place off anytime.

I know.

I barely recognize it.

I don't think I've been here since before my freshman year in college. Wow,

it been that long?

Do your parents come here often?

Uh, not as much as they used to. I think they rented out here and there.

Hey, uh, who's that?

No one else should be here.

Uh, excuse me, can I ask what... Riley?

Edith.

It's great to see you.

Yeah, you too.

I wasn't expecting you here.

Well, I noticed there was a problem with one of the sprinkler lines and...

Wasn't getting enough water to the area, so I thought I'd come over and see if I

could fix it.

That's nice of you to think.

Hi, I'm Kate, Eden's friend. Hi, Riley. Oh, yeah.

Riley's parents own the cabin next door, so we would see each other every

summer.

So, what brings you here?

Well,

I needed a break.

Kind of a forced vacation. The cabin was available, so I went for it.

What about you?

You're living here?

Well, Dad got tired of the winter, so he moved to Arizona.

And I took over the cabin, started a business.

That's great.

What kind of business?

Hot air balloons.

You sell them?

No. No, I do hot air balloon rides around here.

Oh, that's certainly different.

It's a work in progress.

Well, I'll let you get settled.

It was great to see you.

Yeah, you too.

It's nice to meet you, Kate. And sorry about the... Oh, no, that's fine. Thank

you for doing that. No problem.

I'll just give you a few more minutes here.

Thanks.

Yeah, well, I'll see you around.

Yeah. Okay?

Yeah.

We need to get groceries tomorrow.

Sounds good.

So Riley seems nice. Did you see him a lot here? I did.

I don't even remember how we became friends.

I think it was convenience.

He was next door when we came here in the summer, and he became my default

friend. Only a friend?

Yeah, why do you ask?

Just a vibe, I guess.

Oh, that was years ago.

He was the reason I looked forward to coming to Tahoe in my teenage years, but

that's history.

Oh.

Michael. Hi!

Hey, did you and Kate make it all right? We did.

Hi, Michael.

Hi.

So how is it?

So far, so good.

Good.

Hey, I hate to ask you so soon, but when do you think you're coming back?

Ah, miss me already?

I certainly do.

Morning, Spencer.

Hey.

Yeah, the valves on this are good to go. Minor adjustments, but it's solid.

Good, good. Thanks.

Any new reservations?

No. No messages, anyway.

All right.

But we do have that one later this week, so... Yeah.

Hey, things will get better.

Of course.

The quarter is gorgeous, isn't it?

What do you do? Come in here each year.

I'm surprised you stayed away.

I wasn't on purpose.

Just work, life, you know.

How are you feeling about work?

Conflicted. How so?

Part of me feels... What's the word?

Annoyed that they're questioning my work.

And the other part?

I know it wasn't my best work.

Lately, I care, but I don't enjoy it.

I don't know. Maybe I'm relieved.

I thought you liked it there. I don't know.

I didn't even really think about it until Reese benched me.

Well, it'll be fine when you get back after you have had time to recharge.

But it's not my decision.

Reese seems supportive about me coming back, but only if I'm back on my game.

Ugh.

It makes me appreciate what I do.

You know, someone comes in, you cut their hair, done.

Yeah, but you're good at it. And you're good at marketing.

Am I?

It's something that I chose when I was in college, and I just went with it.

Sometimes I wonder what else I could have tried.

I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Why can't work just be work?

Well, it depends on what you want from it. You know, a simple paycheck, or do

you want some fulfillment?

That's the real question, isn't it?

Come on, let's go try the water.

Okay.

You don't have to have your life all figured out right now.

It feels like I should have something figured out, though, right?

You have Michael?

Yeah, of course, but career's a big part, too.

Oh, hey.

There's this place you need to see around the corner. Mr. Weber's store.

love it.

This was my favorite hangout spot in town. I'd always get the milkshake.

That sounds really good right now. Yeah.

Hello. Mr. Weber.

There's a familiar face.

Eden Clark.

That's right.

You're finally back.

Oh, just for a little bit. You know, I haven't seen your family for years.

Not since your grandpa died.

How are your parents?

They're good.

They don't make it out here much, though, anymore.

And who's this?

This is Kate. I'm showing her Tahoe. And I was just telling her that this was my

favorite place.

Oh, thank you.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Kate. You too.

Go ahead and order something. Of course, I know what she likes. Chocolate

brownie milkshake.

Oh, that's because of the homemade brownies you put in it. Yeah.

And how about you, Kate?

Um, I'll try your...

Or cookie dough shake?

Sensible choice.

Why don't you go ahead and go in there and have a seat, and I'll bring your

order out. Okay. Thank you. Thanks.

How much is this one?

Mr.

Weber's place was the hangout for all the kids.

I think they associated me with my grandparents.

It didn't matter that I was a summer visitor. You know, he treated me like a

local, like family. I like him.

And his cookie dough wasn't bad either. I told you.

Hey, is this too much for the two of us? Nah, it should be fine.

But you know what we still need?

What?

Onions and peppers.

Oh, over there. I'll grab some. Okay.

Thought you didn't like salad.

Ah, well, that's when I was 12.

It's not so bad now.

Ah, I see. You still love banana?

Allergic now.

No. Yeah, it was a sad day when I had to give those up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So what have you been up to?

Day? Oh, let's see.

I was just fixing up some stuff around the warehouse.

Leaky pipe, flickering light, that sort of thing.

And then this afternoon was...

Quiet, business -wise.

And so here I am, stocking up my kitchen.

I didn't know you were a fix -it type of guy.

Oh, yeah. Just call me Mr. Do -It -Yourself.

Helps keep costs down.

You know, I was surprised that you're still living here.

I'd have thought when you were old enough, you'd leave and conquer the

Well, in fairness, I did leave and try a slice of life somewhere else, but then

I came back.

Well, I'm happy to see you again.

How long are you in town?

A few weeks.

It's a bit fluid.

Right, so you'll relax, read a book, swim, shop.

That all sounds perfect.

Oh, and hiking.

You know what you have to do while you're here?

What? You've got to go to our spot.

Our spot?

The Overlook.

Oh.

We should go together.

And you can show your friend, too. I'm sure she'd love it.

What do you think?

Let's do it.

So what's so special about this overlook?

Well, we go there every summer. It was tradition.

We? You and?

Riley and me.

Oh, so you just hike there?

It's a really pretty hike.

And?

And it's where we had our first kiss.

Wait, what?

We'd hike up here a couple times each summer you visited, didn't we? At least.

The view must really be good.

Well, it depended how noisy it got as Eden's mom and grandma argued.

They always fought about who would cook each night, what they would make and

how. Just like your mom does when she visits you. Don't remind me.

See ya.

How much further?

My feet are, well, I didn't really bring the best shoes for off -road

activities. Well, we're almost there.

Okay.

Eden, Kate, come on.

Ow.

I need to get out more.

How are your feet?

Forgotten. Worth it?

Just as I remembered.

Kate, what do you do?

I'm a hairstylist.

That sounds fancy.

I cut and style hair. It's really not.

But hot air balloons sound amazing. That's what you do, right?

Yeah.

That must do well here.

I mean, what a great view of the lake, right?

You'd think, but...

It's been a bit of a slow start.

You know, it's a little pricey, so it's difficult for the casual or budget

-minded tourist.

But it's Tahoe. People come here to vacation and burn cash.

Well, people come here, you hike like we did, and you see the view.

Maybe that's enough.

You don't believe that, do you?

It's a hot air balloon. It's unique.

Yeah, well, I can only run tours early in the morning or in the early evening

I'm lucky.

So I'm starting to think maybe I should get another job to live on while I keep

this as a side job.

Well, why don't you add more tourists?

Well, the temperature affects how well we can rise, and then there's the wind

which picks up throughout the day.

That's tricky.

Yeah.

It is fun, though.

You both should come see it for yourselves.

You mean in the air?

Yeah. That'd be fun.

Job listing sites are just scary.

Why are you looking at those?

Just in case.

But you weren't fired.

Look at this one.

This job description is a full page. I'm going to need a special degree to

understand what they're saying.

Probably not for you then. What if I get fired?

Then I have to go out there, find a job, interviewing. I hate all that.

Okay, I thought you were supposed to be decompressing here.

Not stressing about what if.

It's time to eat anyway.

Well, thanks. This looks good.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, so what do you want to do tomorrow?

What do you want to do?

There's this insanely overpriced spa.

Maybe a massage?

No, thanks.

Why not?

It'll help you relax.

I'm not really into those, but you should go ahead.

Nah, I'll save that for another day.

Oh, what about that hot air balloon thing?

Riley did text me about a last -minute tour tomorrow morning. He said there's

room if you want to go. Want to?

Yeah. It'd be fun.

Cheers.

Looking good.

Yep. Our group's late, though.

Even so, here comes the important part.

You ready for this? I am. You?

I'm a little nervous.

Welcome. Good morning.

You guys get up this early for every one of these tours?

You two ready for this?

I guess so.

Where's the rest of the group?

Uh, good question.

Excuse me.

Hello, Hot Air Tahoe.

Hey. Oh, hey.

I'm Spencer. I work for Riley. Hi, Eden.

Kate.

So, what sort of fuel do you get for this to fly?

Like a rocket fuel?

Just propane.

You're kidding.

This stuff we use to grill.

Yeah, the very same.

Who would have thought?

Okay.

Okay, bye now.

Well, some of our group are sick, so I rescheduled them for later in the week.

Oh, come on. Well...

Maybe we can go another time. Yeah.

Nonsense. We're all set up here.

Let Pop in.

So, who flies this?

I do.

You?

Don't you need a license?

I got one.

You gonna open your eyes at all?

How far off the ground are we?

Why don't you take a look for yourself? Just give me a number.

25? Hmm?

More like yards, but not that high.

You okay?

Sure. You know, speak for yourself.

Relax. Enjoy the view.

Is it safe up here?

As long as I do what I'm supposed to?

Are you?

I haven't crashed anything yet. Well, what about the wind? You said that the

wind... Okay, okay. Are you trying to make me more nervous? I'm just curious.

checked the expected weather conditions, and we are fine.

Expected?

But those three are... Yeah, right.

You are kidding.

Where do you see the lake?

Are you, like, cheering us over there?

I'm doing my best, yeah.

You really know how to fly, then?

Yeah, let's hope so.

Got my pilot's license. I was flying regional commuter jets.

Really? You surprised?

Well, you always said you wanted to fly, but we were kids.

Things change.

That's true.

It got to the point where I never really felt like anywhere was home.

I was always in the air, attached to my life.

I've been happiest here.

What do you think?

All these years coming here, I've never seen it like this.

I have fond memories of this place, but this?

This is the best.

Well, then you're going to love this.

Hey, Kate, hang on. What?

Are we through?

Oh, wow.

And this is the less impressive side of my little company.

Here, I can help.

Put them down over there.

How long have you been in business?

Almost a year.

What's your favorite part about it?

floating in the balloon just above the lake's surface.

I don't think there's anything more peaceful.

It's pure serenity.

What's the worst part about it?

Making a living at it.

And I'll feel better once it takes off.

No pun intended.

You know, I could help with that.

With what?

Well, I work in marketing, and it sounds like you need more customers.

This experience is amazing.

It should nearly sell itself if enough people try it out. But you're here on

vacation. I could use an opportunity to sharpen up my skills.

People can't even tell you're here.

Most people just call, so I give them directions.

But you're on Main Street, and there's lots of traffic. This building can be an

advertisement.

Sounds expensive.

We don't have to do anything crazy.

This place can work for you.

I don't know if it'll make a difference.

Well, what have you done?

Advertising -wise.

You know, poster here and there around town.

And I have a website, too.

We can do more.

If you'll let me help.

You sure you want to get into this?

I want to help you.

All right.

Sure. Thanks so

much for relaxing.

It almost pains me, though.

I can see he can do more and make his business succeed.

How can I ignore that?

I guess you really do like marketing.

I just want him to succeed.

Okay, so how do you plan to help?

Well, for starters, he could use some more photos and video on his website,

especially of that view and the balloon launching.

I bet we can get some social media buzz going, too, with some simple ads.

I know he's nervous about spending a lot, but I know some easy stuff that

get the ball rolling.

I think that's perfect. Are you sure?

Yeah. He definitely needs a sign for his warehouse.

Is that going to be enough, though?

You know how you always see a gazillion tour brochures when you stay at a hotel?

Well, guests look through those and plan out activities for their stay.

We just need to get them to see Riley's Hot Air Taco.

No, you don't. Yes, I do. This is amazing.

Well, I'm glad you like it. You can still make changes. I didn't want to put

a big order until you saw it in real life. It's perfect.

Let's print it.

Great.

And then let me take you out to dinner.

Riley, you don't... I'm serious.

Thank you, dinner's the least I can do.

Thank you.

So, you never told me why you're taking a break from work.

Oh, that.

Unless you don't want to talk about it. Oh, no, it's not horrible or anything,

but my boss told me to take some time off so I can come back and be better at

job. Ouch.

Sorry you asked.

Well, from what I've seen, you're great at your job.

I used to be.

I think that this was easier because the stakes were more important than, say,

felling sandals.

Well, hot air balloons are a lot cooler than sandals, so I get it.

Do you like marketing?

I thought I did.

You told me that flying airplanes lost its appeal for you.

I guess we all change.

Maybe.

You haven't changed as much as I would have thought.

No? No.

I still see the same girl next door.

Same girl that would steal my shoes off the porch if I left them out.

That's because you stuffed nails in mine.

You're always a bit mischievous.

And you always got me back.

I couldn't let you in.

No, of course not.

I remember my dad was crazy angry at you for something. What was it?

You burned his entire collection of baseball cards. I thought they were

Besides, you had drawn on my face with marker when I was camping in the

backyard. Yeah, well, that was pretty good.

You know, I was always scared that your dad would come after me for burning

those.

He never did confront me about it.

Well, it's because I told him I did it.

What?

Why?

Well, I didn't want you to get in trouble.

Plus, I was kind of impressed.

He really one -upped me.

I guess I should be grateful.

Do you ever wonder when it was that we started to grow up?

Maybe when you stopped coming to Tahoe.

Yeah. And here you go. Oh, thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you for dinner.

My pleasure.

But I still owe you.

Have you been by Mr. Weber's? Of course.

You know, he still remembers my favorite milkshake flavor.

Mine too.

Bananas Foster.

Oh, you're allergic.

I keep having to remind him so he doesn't get offended when I turn it

You want to go see him?

I'll trade your Banana Foster for my chocolate brownie if he unknowingly

insists.

Deal.

You two have made my day.

It's just like old times.

You work too hard. Don't you have anyone to help?

I got a couple of kids that come in and work a shift now and then, but this is

my pride and joy.

And here's your bananas, foster.

I'm always trying to get Mr. Weber to take a vacation.

Vacation. Where would I go that's better than this?

Seeing you two back together again.

That's the cherry on top.

Excuse me.

Thanks for the milkshake. Sure.

I wouldn't want you to have an allergic shock here.

Well, it's more like I break out in hives, but still not fun.

So, no more bananas, no more bananas foster, you're not an airline pilot.

What else has changed?

I'm a terrible businessman, apparently.

You just need some marketing tips, that's all. That's a very nice way of

it.

Well, changed.

I don't know.

Maybe I'm the same at heart.

Have you ever been married?

Nope.

Had a girlfriend.

A few, actually, but one wanted to get married, and then I realized,

well, I didn't love her, so.

What about you?

Never married.

Do you remember when we used to sneak out to the lake at night?

Yeah.

The last night of our trip.

And we'd go to the dock and lay out and watch the stars.

Talk about... What we wanted.

Or what worried us. Anything that was on our minds.

Birthday school or parents fighting.

Got to be friends back home.

I remember on more than one occasion, you wished you could stay in

Tahoe forever.

Me too.

I miss those talks.

Me too.

Hey, Kate, you ready?

Yeah. Do you want me to grab you a drink? Oh, I just filled up my water

I'm good.

Oh, hey, how was your dinner with Riley?

It was good.

Kind of seemed like a date.

No, no, it's not like that.

No, was it ever? I mean, you two seemed close.

There were a lot of summers.

I mean, sure, we liked each other, but we never dated.

Really, it was just when we were teens and when we were younger, you know,

playing on the swing sets and monkey bars.

Okay, just wondering.

That's Riley.

Oh, what's he want?

He wants to know what we're doing today.

Do you want to invite him along?

Sure. I'll text him back.

You know the problem with living here?

What? You never take enough time to appreciate how great everything is.

True. It's like going to the beach back home.

You never do.

Yep. Because it's always there.

I'll have to make sure you appreciate this while you're here.

Yeah, sunblock on your face.

You bet I do. Oh, you have a smudge of it on your cheek.

Should I get that? No.

I'll be right back.

Hey, honey. Hi.

Hi, Mr. Call.

I was on the water. The water, huh? Are you and Kate having fun?

Yeah, we are.

All play and no work.

Actually...

Um, there's a little bit of work. I'm helping out a neighbor stop promoting

business.

Can you explain something to me?

I'll do my best.

I grew up in the same house my full childhood, and even now I don't live far

from it, but I can't tell you the names of more than three kids I knew back

then. So what's your question?

Why are you and Eden so close?

I don't know if we still are.

We were when she was here.

Maybe there was this one year.

We were maybe 12, 13 at the most.

And for her, coming here is a summer vacation trip, something to look forward

to. So she shows up, goes straight to the beach, stays out all day, and was a

lobster by night.

Is that why she ladders on the sunscreen like crazy?

Yeah, her skin burned until she blistered.

Oh! And her mom forbade her from going outside for the rest of the week.

And I didn't want her to be bored, so I brought her treats, ice packs and games,

milkshakes from Mr. Webber's, and I kept her company.

And honestly, it was one of my favorite summers.

Whether that's the reason we're close or not, I don't know.

She was always a good friend.

Well, I've got good news.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. My boss came to me today, and he told me I'm being recognized internally

at the firm.

That's great.

Recognized how?

Well, the annual company dinner's coming up, and they always give out awards and

whatnot. Well, this year, I get one, along with a nice little bonus.

That's amazing.

You so deserve that. Congratulations.

The dinner's at the end of next week. Do you think you can make it?

Of course.

You and Kate will be back from your trip by then? I'll make sure we are.

So proud of you.

Thanks. I miss you.

I miss you, too.

All right. Have fun at the lake.

I will.

Bye. Bye.

Thanks for inviting me. I'm glad you could come.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll drop by with the flowers from the coffee shop.

Sounds good.

Okay. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

So, Randy's nice.

Yeah.

Is he dating anyone?

Nobody mentioned.

Does he know you're dating Michael?

Uh, it doesn't matter. We're just friends.

So, your relationship is just simple nostalgia?

Mm -hmm.

What's Michael, then?

He's wonderful.

supportive, grown up.

Don't you think?

Yeah, yeah, I agree.

Then what's the problem?

Nothing.

Okay, let's just enjoy the trip here.

Okay.

So, your feelings for Michael aren't changing.

Correct. And your feelings for Riley?

You're getting really serious about this, huh?

Yeah, let's hope so.

Okay, here are addresses of places where you can leave the flyers. Mention my

name if they look at you funny, but I've talked to all of them. And if you have

friends with businesses, ask them about putting one up in a window. My cousin

runs a bakery. Oh, Beth Donut.

Right. Perfect.

So we all have our list, so... Let's get going. Okay.

Here.

This is a good one.

Thanks. Enjoy.

Thanks for letting me put this up.

Have a nice day. You too.

You beat me here.

Well, I figured Mr. Weber would be very supportive.

He says you owe him.

So you finished then?

Yep. You?

Pretty much.

I wonder how long it's going to take for us to see if this is working.

I do have some online ads scheduled to start running. I should probably check

those stats.

Oh, calm down.

It'll be fine.

I haven't been this anxious about an ad campaign's performance in a long time.

I doubt that.

I'm serious.

I want this to go well for you.

Well, relax.

The rest is out of your hands.

In fact, maybe it's time you stopped thinking about work.

Any work.

How?

Oh, just like old times.

Yep.

I love the sunset over the lake.

Yeah, don't get that back home, huh? No.

Sometimes I come down here by myself, but it's not the same.

It's probably quieter.

Quiet's overrated.

Never gets this quiet back home.

You should always come back here.

I guess so.

You should come back here more often.

I've missed this.

Me too.

Do you ever think about the last time you were here?

Yeah.

We went on that gondola.

Yeah. I remember.

My stomach didn't like it.

Yeah, I was worried about that with the hot air balloon ride. I wasn't sure if

it was a heights thing.

It was more of a rocking back and forth thing. Oh.

And then afterwards we went on that hike.

To our favorite spot.

It was overcast that day, but I was determined to go.

I really wanted to see how you felt about it.

We kissed.

I thought about that for a while.

Me too.

And then I went home, and I wrote you a letter.

You did?

Yeah. Well, I never sent it.

But I thought about you.

What did the letter say?

Oh, you know. Come on, tell me.

I wrote that I wish that I lived here

and not so far away so that I could see you more

and that I missed you.

I've missed you too.

kiss him does that make me a horrible person no of course not but you do need

come clean what why because he deserves to know do you mean riley

or michael both i'm with michael and riley is what what is

he a nice memory it can't lead anywhere do you want it to

You don't know what you want.

I didn't say that. And that's fine, but you can't move forward unless you let go

of Riley or Michael.

I... I don't have anything figured out, and I'm more confused than when I got

here, and I still don't know what's going on with my job, and I... I'm a

No, you're not.

But if you don't figure it out, you will be.

Hey. Oh, hey, Mr. Weber called for you.

He did?

Yeah, he said it was an urgent freezer emergency and he was calling in a favor.

I've got things here under control if you want to go and see him.

All right.

Hey, Mr. Weber.

Hi. Oh, this ice cream mix is no good. It's more like soup.

And the freezer won't freeze.

When did the freezer quit?

Well, I came in this morning to try it out, and all I got was this runny, soupy

mess. Well, let me see what I can find.

Well, it's drawing power, so it might be something with the compressor or maybe

the wiring somewhere else.

I hope I don't have to replace the whole thing.

I replaced the stove two years ago.

I'll do my best.

Oh, no pressure on you, Riley. I'm talking to myself.

I'm just glad you could come out today.

Happy to.

I didn't interrupt your day too much, did I?

No. Quiet morning.

Really? With all those flyers out there, aren't they doing any good for you?

Not yet.

Well, you better enjoy the quiet time, because later on it's going to pick up

and you're going to be wishing for them.

Thanks.

So, um...

Have you seen much of your neighbor lately?

We've been spending some time together.

You ought to take her on a proper date. I mean, all I hear is people hanging out

together. I never knew where that saying came from.

It's like a bunch of monkeys hanging from a tree.

It's less risky that way.

Nothing risked, nothing gained.

I always thought you two suited.

Well, we never really took that step. Our lives went in different directions.

And ended up right back here.

Well, for now, temporary.

Well, you better get with it.

You fixed it!

Is that what it usually sounds like?

Yeah. Okay, then.

Hey, Kate?

And for that massage, I'll be back in time for dinner.

Kate.

Reese, what do you want on my forced time off?

I hope you're enjoying your break. Could use your perspective on a project when

you get a moment.

Looking forward to having you back.

Eden, hi.

Hi. Am I interrupting?

I have a few minutes. How are you?

I'm okay.

Uh -oh.

I guess it's good.

Reese just emailed me.

Sounds like he wants me back.

Fantastic. Yeah.

So are you coming back sooner?

I'm trying to decide.

It's been nice out here.

Oh, I bet. Tahoe sounds like a great place.

Hey, I say take whatever time you need.

Oh, but don't forget about my company dinner.

Right.

No problem.

I'll be back for it.

Thanks. Hey, and great news about Reese. I knew it would all work out.

Yeah.

It's good.

I'll talk to you later.

Thanks for calling.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

I need to get out.

When did we get these?

Thanks for coming with me.

Happy to.

I don't know when my parents got these.

This wasn't really a thing when we were kids.

You're making us sound old.

Well, I thought it was neat, and I figured we're here, so might as well try

Well, I'm glad you called me.

I think once you try this, you're going to get addicted. You're never going to

want to go home.

Speaking of home, I got an email from my boss today.

And?

He wanted my input on some things.

Isn't that good?

Yeah, I guess it is good. Good to be missed.

I'm finding I don't miss it at all.

Maybe you should consider a career change.

That's too scary.

I did it. So could you.

We're still flying.

You could still market, but is that what you want to do?

It's not that I don't like marketing.

There's a thrill in it sometimes, like a pride in it.

How so?

When I figure out the best way to make something great, like a puzzle that I

together.

You do like marketing.

I think I miss it.

So what's wrong? Is it what you're working on?

I think it's easier to work on something you believe in.

That could be it.

I don't know. I wish I had more time to figure it out.

So tell your boss you're not ready.

And risk him rethinking and firing me if I'm not even sure?

You don't want to let go of one branch without having a grip on another one.

Exactly.

Well, the way I see it...

You have three options.

I do? Yeah.

First one, go back to your old, unexciting job.

Next option, please.

Second, come work for me as a poorly paid marketer.

Hey, I'm all for you sticking around.

Can't blame me for trying.

The third option?

Do nothing.

Just take your time.

You don't have to make a decision now or even next week.

I do have to make a choice eventually.

But when you're ready.

Maybe after you've even had time to discover some new options.

You know, if this hot air balloon thing doesn't work, you could be a career

advisor.

Hope it doesn't come to that.

Should we do this?

Yep.

I think I've got this.

Now use your oar to move yourself around.

That's cool.

Right? Yeah.

So what's your secret?

Thrust yourself.

Gee, thanks.

And tighten your stomach. Supposedly it helps with balance.

Okay.

get to do this every weekend?

No.

Every other weekend.

What are you doing out here?

Nothing.

Really?

I'm just thinking.

About?

If I tell you, you're just going to lecture me.

I don't do that.

Okay, seriously, I won't do that. I promise.

Riley kind of insinuated that he wants me to stay here.

Let's see.

Is that even tempting?

It is.

It shouldn't be, though, right? I have a life back home and a job, sort of.

And what he's saying is a huge change.

And not just for job and home, but relationship -wise, too. I know.

It's crazy. And Michael is... Amazing.

Supportive, stable.

Exactly.

Why would I let that go?

Riley was talking about what I should do for work, and he said I don't have to

make a decision.

Maybe that's the same for here.

Maybe I just need to put this aside and enjoy the rest of my time here.

It sounds like good advice, but...

You still need to be careful not to hurt one of them.

Or yourself.

Okay?

Okay.

And the card's expiration date?

Alright, you're all set for Monday. Party at five.

Yeah, sure thing.

Alright, I'll see you then.

Party at five?

The phone has not stopped ringing all morning.

We have every single day booked for the next two weeks.

Are you serious?

That's amazing.

Your friend has really got things rolling here.

I'm going to go get things prepped for tomorrow's tour.

Hutter Tao, can I help you?

Let me check.

Guess how many calls I got. How many?

33.

No, actually, it was more than that. I lost count. I haven't had to answer the

phone that often ever.

But are people booking? Yeah.

That's the crazy thing. I'm starting to wonder if we need to raise prices.

You probably could, but maybe wait a bit. I don't want this to be an initial

rush with no continued traffic from customers.

Look at you, talking all business.

Have you set up appointment booking online?

I asked Spencer, too.

Six months ago.

Not going well.

I'm going to send you a link for a site that handles that. It's very affordable,

and it saves you time so that you don't have to spend the day on the phone.

Excellent.

So what are you working on?

Web ads.

What do you think?

It looks... What?

Legitimate.

Well, good, because you are. I feel professional, and I'm not even doing any

work. You are.

And I'm going to give you options. That way you don't have to use the same ad

all the time.

What for?

To change it up for seasons, holidays, stuff like that.

Got it.

Okay.

And there you go.

I don't know what I'm going to do without you.

Oh, I think you'll do fine.

I'd rather not find out.

Any chance you'll stay?

You can get anyone.

to help you with it.

And don't worry, it's not like your business will lose out.

Well, it's not my business I'm worried about losing.

So, what are your plans for the rest of your stay?

I've got clients coming out of nowhere trying to get on my schedule.

I'm going to have to work 10 hours a day when I get back.

Good to be in demand, right?

I guess.

I'm still dreading it.

Me too.

When's your next appointment?

Monday.

Are you going back to work then too?

I'm still figuring it out.

Just a few more things to load up and should be all set.

Great.

I've got to get to bed early.

I've been used to sleeping in.

I'd say I'm sorry, but no sleep means working a paycheck.

I'll take it.

Oh, Eden mentioned we should do something to encourage customers to

reviews.

Yeah, like a follow -up email or something?

Or we could give away a free T -shirt for every good review.

I don't think bribery is the way to go.

I'll have to ask for some ideas on that.

What is she saying?

Well, I'd like her to, but... But what?

Well... Too early to tell.

Are you two dating?

Too early to tell.

All right, well, sounds like you've got a lot to clear up.

I'm just going to finish loading up. All right.

Thanks, Spencer.

You look beautiful.

Here you go. Great.

Thank you. Thank you.

This is just about done. Great.

Oh, I get it.

Michael! Edith.

I was thinking about your call and seeing you and about Tahoe, and it

me, why not come for the weekend at least?

I'm glad to see you.

Riley!

Michael! Hi, Kate.

Riley,

this is Michael, my boyfriend.

Hi.

Good to meet you. Nice flowers.

Oh, yeah, they're for Eden.

And Kate, as a thank you for helping with my business.

Oh, you're the neighbor that Eden's been helping out.

Ah, I guess so.

You didn't have to do that.

Oh, I know, but... Yeah.

Um,

dinner's ready.

Ah, great.

I'm starving.

Oh, nice tan.

Thanks.

I just wanted to drop those off.

Riley, I didn't know that... The response to the flyers and everything

great. You've been getting a lot of business, so thank you.

Riley.

You have company.

Good night, Eve.

Night.

Sorry.

I don't like being right.

At least not with this.

Should I tell Michael about Riley?

Um, I think you could.

I don't want to hurt him, too.

I think he would understand.

But, why don't you talk to Riley?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Michael.

I didn't mean to keep it from you.

It's your life.

We're just old friends.

You're more than that.

But not enough.

That's not true.

Isn't it?

But it's okay.

I've really enjoyed seeing you again.

Me too.

And my business.

I really got a shot now thanks to you.

Thanks for letting me help.

And for being my friend.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Better get that to Riley right away before it melts.

Oh, it's not for him.

I'm going to miss these.

Are you leaving?

Oh, yeah.

It's been wonderful, but too bad it's just temporary.

Now, wait a minute.

Not everything is temporary. The way you feel here and now, that'll stay with

you.

I should let you go.

Eden, if you go back, what do you leave behind here now?

Thanks, Mr. Weber.

So how are your tax deadlines?

Chopping away at them bit by bit.

It's nice not to be in the office, though.

Nothing fresh air and all that?

Yeah.

Listen, I should have come sooner.

You asked me and I just made excuses.

Well, you're busy. I understand that.

Well, I was talking to Kate and she helped me realize how upsetting the last

couple weeks have been for you.

Well, I wouldn't say it was upsetting.

Nerve -wracking?

Either way, I should have been here.

Oh.

What is it?

Oh.

It's Reese.

He wants to know if I can make it to an all -hands -on -meeting Tuesday.

Wow. He really wants you back.

Yes. He's seen what life's like with you out of the office, and he doesn't like

it.

I'm so glad this worked for you.

Me too.

Is that everything?

Yep. I double -checked. Even under the printer. You're thorough.

Ready? Yeah. I'm just going to lock up. Okay.

Sounds good.

Hey.

Hi. Hey.

We're leaving.

Work and all that.

Going back to it, huh?

Yeah. I hope it works out.

Thanks.

I should go.

Hey, if you're in town again, you should come by the shop. See if we're

following your advice well or not.

I definitely will.

Do you want me to drive?

Yeah,

sure.

All right. Normally we divide up assignments here and we'll get to that.

But I want to start with some news.

Good news.

We have two brand new clients under contract now.

Castle Vacuums and Men Floral Air Fresheners.

Right? It's going to be great for us.

They're eager to hit the ground running, so let's get to work ASAP.

Bobby, you take Castle Vacuums.

Eden, you up for Men Floral?

Absolutely.

Excellent.

Come in.

Hey, honey. How was work today?

Good.

Did you cook?

No. It's a new client product.

Min Floral Air Freshener.

Min Floral?

Yeah, I think it's because it's pure minerals added with floral scents. At

first, I thought min meant mini, but this isn't that small, so.

Interesting. Yeah.

So I wanted to plan out Friday's dinner.

Oh, what time does it start?

Well, for once, I want to be early.

So are you okay if I pick you up at 5 .30?

I'll be ready.

Great. What's the dress code?

I'm wearing a suit and a new tie.

A new tie.

Hmm. Okay.

I'll be sure not to embarrass you then.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, how's it coming together?

Good. The market survey I put together comes back tomorrow, so that'll help me

fine -tune what I'm going to present.

I can't wait to see it.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, Riley. How you doing?

Good. I just wanted to check on that freezer.

Is it running all right?

Ever since you fixed it.

It's got a few more years on it now, thanks to you.

Good.

So, what can I get you?

Nothing. I was just passing by. I thought I'd check in.

Okay. Well, how's that business doing? I see your balloon floating around every

morning. Yeah, it's been popular lately.

Good, good.

So...

Have you heard from Eden lately?

Um, no. No, not since she went back home. Well, you could call her, you

Yeah, I think she's moved on.

And, uh, that's okay.

As long as she's happy.

You're a good kid, you know that?

Are you nervous about the pitch?

No, not really.

But maybe I should be, because then I'd come across as excited about it.

Well, I'll admit, air fresheners are pretty dull. Yep.

Did you ask Reese for a different assignment?

It was either this or vacuums. Oh, wow.

Mm -hmm.

Fine.

It's work, right?

Well, you know, you could still make a change.

What do you mean?

You know, quit your job.

I can't.

You just, you don't seem happy to be back.

And maybe it's not just because of the job.

Imagine.

You feel a migraine coming on.

The weight of the world constantly on your shoulders.

But whether you're at work or at home, men floral.

can be a sanctuary and a shield.

Let the natural mineral aromas lift your spirits, invigorate

your body, ward off the stressors that come at you in every direction.

In an array of award -winning and inventive aromas, Min

Floral is the element missing to feel stronger,

and renewed.

MinFloral.

Mineral ingredients, floral scents, fresher life.

Thank you.

I like it.

What type of ad campaigns do you see being most effective for MinFloral?

the standard for the air freshener industry is print -based, but I think

outdated. I want to get you on video for the... Coupon and shopping apps as well

as targeted campaigns in the online and broadcast space.

Targeted to your demographic, of course.

I love it. One question, though. I don't think the hot air balloon fit.

Oh.

Well,

we can leave that part out. I was going for a parallel of.

Open, fresh air.

Like when you're in a hot air balloon.

Oh.

All ads will get your final approval before we run, so don't worry about

anything that seems out of place.

Right.

If we hurry, we can get this locked in now while ad inventory is high. I think

we can negotiate better placements now rather than waiting for too long.

That sounds sensible.

You had me slightly worried with the hot air balloon thing, but you handled it

great. Thanks.

There's a lot to do in a short time on menflural, but I think you can do it if

you're willing to put in some extra time.

And then I have a plant fertilizer client that I want to assign you.

Plant fertilizer?

The landscape and gardening industry's number three company.

They're aggressively trying to take the lead.

So I'll add that to your accounts.

Actually... Maybe you should give that to someone else.

What do you mean?

I mean, maybe you should give all my accounts to someone else.

Hey. Hey.

I'm so sorry.

Today was crazy and I totally forgot.

I'll be right out.

Okay.

The freeway is going to be a mess right now, but we can probably make up time on

another route.

Good.

So work was crazy today, huh?

Sort of.

I quit my job.

You quit?

You did?

Yep. Is everything all right?

That's kind of sudden, isn't it? I mean, what are you going to do?

I don't know yet, but I wasn't happy.

You know, maybe you should think it over. You could talk to Reese on Monday.

No, it's fine.

Okay, if you say so.

I didn't know your job made you so unhappy.

I don't think it's just my job, though.

What do you mean?

All this time.

I know.

It's hard because I love and care for you so much.

I feel the same way about you.

I guess we were never really in love with each other.

It was comfortable.

And we let it go on.

Yeah.

So when did you figure this out?

When I got back, but I guess it started in Tahoe.

There was a friend there, Riley, and I realized

that what I felt for him was different than how I feel for you.

Oh.

Are you upset?

No. Actually, I know exactly how you feel.

There's something I want to tell you, too.

You and I started dating, but as it went on, we spent time with each other's

friends. A lot of time.

Well, I started to... Kate!

Yeah.

I couldn't bring myself to tell either of you. I would hate myself if I ever

came between you.

I get it.

I want you and Kate to be happy.

You do?

Definitely.

This day has gone very differently than I thought.

For me, too.

Oh, your dinner.

You know what? Don't worry about it.

No, you can still make it.

Yes.

Eden, what's going on? Go put on a nice dress.

Why? Because you are going to a dinner party in honor of Michael.

I am?

Yeah. Okay.

Okay, Eden, seriously, what's going on? There's not a lot of time, but to sum it

up, Michael and I broke up.

And Michael has had feelings for you for a while.

And as I think of it more and more, you like him too.

And I couldn't be happier for the both of you.

Okay, wait, what?

Just think about it.

Even in Tahoe, you were worried about me, yes.

But you didn't want Michael to get hurt.

And you've been such a good friend to me, but I don't want you to miss out on

something special with him.

And speaking of special, Michael's dinner started about five minutes ago.

So what do you say, Kate?

Will you come with me?

Be my date?

Yes.

What will you do?

I don't know yet.

Don't worry about it. Have fun.

You all have a nice day. Thanks. Bye.

How was it?

Oh, fine.

No wind, really.

Good.

Did the no -show come while we were in the air?

Nope. I guess they just forgot.

Who's that?

That's the no -show.

Maybe they just got the time wrong.

Did I miss the tour?

That was you?

I drove as fast as I could to get here.

Sorry. You missed it.

That's too bad.

You know, normally there's no refunds, but maybe I could take you out for a

private tour another day.

If you're in town for a while.

I am.

And I'd like that.

Maybe...

I might give you a good review.

I didn't think you were coming back.

Like you said, I needed time to figure it out for myself.

And have you?

I think so.

Good.

I didn't want to wait another 10 or 15 years to see you again.

Me neither.

I had two resorts contact me about running a marketing push for them.

Well, I'm not surprised.

I think I'm going to pick one to work on.

Good for you.

Nice, huh?

This whole working for yourself idea isn't bad.

See why I like it?

I do.

I really do.
