Ben!

What?

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Oh, take it easy, Richie, Rich.

You know, I got neighbors, man. What do you want? I need to get in contact with

Laurelyn.

You know, I'd love to help you out, man, but, uh, I don't have her number.

Give me Edison's number, then.

Oh, my sister's number now.

Yeah, I need to get in contact with Laurelyn.

You know, if she wanted any contacts, she would have given you her number.

Okay.

What's her last name?

Dude!

You screwed her for three months and you didn't even ask that?

That's cold, man. Are you going to help me or not? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll help

you, man. And then we'll hang out because we're best buds. Take care.

I

guess

I'm going that way.

I wish you'd come home with me to visit my parents. Mom will be disappointed if

I don't come home today.

Okay, well, promise me you're not going to spend the next two weeks sitting in

the apartment wallowing about it. I'm jumping straight into my music as soon

as I get back to Nashville.

Come here.

It's okay.

Thank you, girl. Hi, Mom.

I've missed you, Mom.

It's good to be home.

I heard some wonderful news is about me and your dad.

You know, he came to see me while you were in Australia.

Yeah, he said he wanted to meet me. And still does.

Things between us have changed while you're away.

What about his wife?

He doesn't love her.

They met up very early in their marriage, but that was a lifetime ago.

Yeah, and I guess he always loved us.

When it's been an agony pretending we didn't exist for the last 23 years.

Off living the rock star life.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I hope he gives you everything you wanted all these years.

Let me tell you, he wants to make amends. He wants to make amends.

We have two more months together.

Don't leave before then.

I love you, Jack Henry.

Shh.

Waiting on someone?

No one in particular.

Just here for company.

Me too.

I won't tell you my name and I don't want yours.

Okay.

You're hot and I need a distraction.

From what?

The man I love doesn't feel the same.

Wanna go upstairs?

Yeah, that's fine, yeah.

Happy birthday to me after all.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I'll do this with you.

The room's paid for, you can stay if you want.

You look like shit.

Fuck you.

What the hell have you been doing?

I don't want to talk about it.

When did you get back into town?

Today.

Could have let me know.

Nah, I'll just wait for 3 o'clock in the morning, huh? Alright, alright, I get

it.

Mum's dying to know what happened with Laurel.

Dude.

Don't tell her you picked me up.

So you asked her to stay and she just said no?

She didn't even say goodbye.

We had an arrangement.

She didn't know my name and I didn't know hers.

She was going to be my companion for three months until she went home.

I insisted on no contact when she left.

When she told me that she loved me, I... couldn't say it

back.

Of course you didn't.

Because I'm an idiot.

Why would you do that?

I've been doing it for years.

It's always worked.

Except for her.

Till her.

Mama's gonna be so pissed off.

Please, come in.

Don't give me your smart-ass mouth. I've been trying to call you all week.

I've been busy with the harvest.

It's been days since Laurelyn was scheduled to leave and I haven't heard

anything from you.

You screwed it up, didn't you?

Yeah.

She told you she loved you?

Yeah, she did.

What did you tell her in return?

Nothing. I didn't say anything.

But I love her, Mum.

I really do.

Why didn't you tell her and ask her to stay? I tried. I tried. But I was too

late. She'd already gone.

So go get her.

Something else I didn't tell you.

You're not going to be happy.

I'm quite put out already.

What is it?

Mum! Jack Henry, I cannot believe you.

She lived with you, shared your bed, and you couldn't even bother to ask her her

name. I know, I know.

I'm going to fix this. I'm going to find her.

I've got someone helping me.

I don't think finding her is going to be your biggest problem I'm gonna make this

right

Hey, I missed you.

Here she is. Hi.

I wasn't sure if you'd show.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

We can't wait to get started on this.

Oh, good.

I'm glad to have you back.

You don't have me back.

No, I mean I'm happy you're back home in Nashville.

Instead of wherever you... 9,000 miles away wasn't far enough from you to suit

me. Come on, Lori. Don't be that way.

You missed me. I know it and you know it.

You're wrong.

Crazy blink. There are cameras everywhere. I'm ready to leave Beth so

we can be together.

I don't want you.

You have a wife and children.

Our relationship is based on our lives. This is because of that Australian

bastard, huh?

You still want him?

I will always want him.

And do you want him more than your music career?

What's that supposed to mean?

Exactly what you think that means

You

take my songs

in our contracts you can shove it up your ass Yeah, sue me. Yeah, sue me for

breach of contract so I can tell the world what a lying, cheating little

prick you are.

Hey, Mom.

How did the maiden go?

Not now, please.

Oh, uh... Why don't you come over and we can talk about it?

Well, he's not there, is he? No, Laurelyn, he's not here.

Laurelyn Page!

What has happened to you? Are you ill?

I'm not ill, Mom.

Then what's happened?

Well, I guess I should start by telling you why I went to Australia.

Yeah.

That bastard.

Threatened to ruin your career while he pinned you to your car.

A kick in the nuts is the least of what he deserves here, Dunty. What he tried

to do to you was blackmail, which is illegal.

So don't you worry about a thing.

Who pinned you against your car and threatened your career?

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

You can tell me you hate me all you want.

Won't change how much I love you, Laureline.

I can't tell you how sorry I am for being absent from your life.

But I promise, world's gonna know you're my daughter. No, I don't want anyone to

know.

I don't understand.

I don't want any success of mine to be based on the fact that I'm Jake

Beckett's daughter.

I'll do whatever you want.

Well, let me make it first.

We'll go from there.

Sounds fair.

Mr. McLoughlin, I trust your visit with your family went well?

Lovely. Cleaning your bedroom, I found something of Laurelyn's under the bed.

I placed them on the side table.

Thank you.

Shit. Addie, this is Blake we're talking about.

Okay, when I left, he was still on the ground.

What does this mean for your career?

It's a false doll.

I have to start over, all because I refuse to continue a relationship with a

man after I found out he was married.

That is not fair. You can't walk away with nothing.

He should have the decency to give you your songs back.

That's never gonna happen.

It's okay.

My new interior is... Way better than my old stuff.

That's because all of them are about Jack.

I just wish you knew what he means to you.

Well, I have some good news.

I'm coming home tomorrow.

Cleve has an audition for me Thursday.

Oh, you don't sound very excited.

That's because it's with a band.

What, I heard of them?

Southern and Ophelia.

Damn, Maddie. They're hot right now.

This sounds exactly like the opportunity that would give your career a huge jump

start.

Hey, honey. Hi.

How are you? I'm good.

How are you?

Fine. Yeah?

Yeah. So, I got you something.

There you go.

It's your favorite color, and I knew that you wouldn't get it for yourself.

Annie, what the hell is this thing?

Okay, look, I know it's a bit much, so I got you this, too.

It's called a bullet.

Okay.

Okay, look, orgasms, they are a physical necessity.

Mm-hmm.

I recommend using this three times a day.

And you know what?

It looks like lipstick.

I know you're going to say that.

You use your bad word three times a day.

Well, ever since we left Australia, I couldn't just quit orgasms cold turkey.

So, yeah.

What's your plan with Zach?

I don't know.

He asked me to come back.

And to stay.

And you're here for an audition?

Which means you're not gonna go?

I don't know.

I'm not sure I can move across the world for a guy I've only known three months.

I mean, that's crazy, right?

My whole life is here.

My parents, my career, you.

I mean, what would you do?

You wouldn't have to ask me twice.

Are you awake?

What's wrong?

I never went to sleep.

Jitters? No, I... I can't stop thinking about Zach and how much I really want

to... Then go.

What? Go.

You really think I should?

If you love him, it's never going to go away.

I think you should audition in my place.

I can't tell.

Yes. Yes, you can.

No, I can't. Okay, they need a singer who can play guitar.

And you need a job. I haven't even rehearsed. Your whole life's been the

rehearsal. It's unprofessional. You should come with me. And it'll look like

you're there to support me.

And I will switch places at the last minute.

Yes! Okay, let's go.

Yeah, that's not how things work around here.

Does it work to let this audition go to waste when what you need is right here

in front of you?

It's okay. No, it's not. It's fine. Gentlemen, I'm sorry for any

inconvenience. I wish you the best of luck in finding the perfect vocalist.

Have a wonderful day.

Wait, wait.

What's your name?

Arlen Prescott.

But...

My stage name is Paige McLaughlin.

I'm Charlie.

Nice to meet you.

It's Ryan, a bass player, PJ, a drummer, and Randy's our manager.

Nice to meet y'all.

So, what are you gonna play for us?

i keep the porch light on for no one guess old habits die slow

i tell myself i'm fine i've moved on who am i kidding i

know and i i've tried to forget it but i can't help

but admit that i trade all my breath away to find

who said we need

Have y'all heard the new lead singer from Southern Ophelia?

Paige McLaughlin's voice is something else. Pure fire and soul.

She's exactly what this band needed. We're excited to have Southern Ophelia

in the studio with us this week.

Drop the tailgate down like it's Saturday noon Crank up that old country

sound while we toast a few brews Kick off your boots and stay, let the whole

world wait Cause the sun's out now and it would be such a shame to just pass it

by When the moment feels this right Oh, I'm telling you this is

life, no doubt in it, babe All I can say is hey

I could feel like this This

this

this I'd run away for this just this

could stay forever

It's called without a goodbye

I'm

waiting on your heart to wait

Would it be so bad if you found happiness with me Charlie what I'm being

serious I Want to be the guy that

You can turn to him.

Makes you feel safe.

I want to be the calm and restore.

Whoa.

Maybe I should have knocked.

No problem. We all share this lounge.

Well, some dude outside the door just told me to give you these.

And tell you that.

You enjoyed the show and that you were fanfucking-tastic.

We should talk.

It must be freezing.

You can take a hot shower.

We can talk after.

Cheers.

Do you want a drink?

No thanks.

Sit with me.

You didn't make finding you easy.

Miss Laurelyn Page Prescott.

And how long have you been trying?

Ever since you left.

Please tell me you don't love him.

I don't love him.

Did anything happen between you two?

There's been no one since you.

Not in my head, my heart, or my body.

Yeah.

You still wearing your birthday gift?

Never took it off.

What's this?

He is always the song I sing.

I wanna be your song.

Always.

And forever.

I love you, Laurelin Paige Brisket.

Don't cry, baby.

You're happy.

It was a mistake to not tell you how I felt.

I was an idiot for letting you slip away.

If you knew you loved me, why couldn't you say?

I'd never been in love before until you.

Must have been awful when you found my letter.

Absolute worst day of my life.

I don't want to be another person who lets you down.

I swear, I'll always be there for you if you let me.

I can't lie.

This...

Me and you.

It scares the shit out of me.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

But wouldn't you rather be scared shitless together than miserable alone?

Well then, let's be scared shitless together.

Are you rediscovering how much you like my belly piercing?

I found your birth control pills.

We stopped using condoms.

I'm not pregnant.

Yeah, I had to ask.

I'm not on the pill anymore because my head aches, but...

I got an IUD place, though.

Didn't think I'd be wanting to have children anytime soon.

Hey.

You asked me about Charlie.

Have you been with anyone?

I haven't been inside a woman since you.

Who could that be at this time?

Hi, Mum.

I have to know if you found her.

Yeah, she's with me right now.

Oh, that's wonderful news!

And is everything going as you'd hoped?

It was. It was going great.

Oh, I'll let you go.

Loved you both. Love you, Mum.

Charlie says the bus is leaving at 8 instead of 9. Well, I'm not really

letting you go.

Yes, me neither, but we have a show tonight in Austin.

It is depending on me.

But you don't have to travel with him, do you?

I could get us a driver.

He could take you to wherever you need to be.

Okay.

Okay, but how far?

Is Austin from Dallas?

Three hours or so? And when's your show? Eight. Eight.

So you have a show in 14 hours.

It's a three-hour drive.

We give you an hour to get ready, an hour to be early.

If I give you 30 minutes to get down to the bus and back, that should leave us

with seven hours in this suite until we have to leave.

The sooner you go and get your stuff, the sooner we can start our... marathon?

Well... I better hurry.

You better.

Addison called when we went to get my things.

She's in Wagga Wagga with Zach.

So that's why we couldn't find her. She was in the same town I was in. Uh-huh.

You want me to come back with you?

More than anything.

But...

You don't need to make a decision right now.

I've made arrangements to stay away from work for the next four weeks.

I want to spend every minute with you.

Good.

Because I'm yours.

I know there's lots for us to figure out.

But we can when you're ready.

after I parted from the man I love, and I thought I'd never see him again.

It's about the things that say to him, if he ever came back.

Well, he did, and this song is for him.

by fate and You

were a strong tide rushing over me in

the sand You pulled me

in to the safe

I just need you You

would be in love to be loved

by you

I've never kissed her the way he kissed you. You have to let that go.

You know, I get along fine as long as he backs off.

Oh, yes.

So there isn't going to be a problem, is there?

No, Laurelyn.

There isn't going to be a problem.

Right?

There isn't going to be a problem.

Great.

As long as he keeps his hands off you.

Nice to meet you. Pleasure. Great show, guys.

PJ. PJ.

Hey, Ryan.

Hey, Ryan.

Hey, Charlie.

Good finally meeting you, man. You too, man. Hey, you want a beer? I'd love one.

Anyone else? You? Me too.

Thank you.

Well,

we got plenty of pizza. You want some pizza?

Cheers,

man. Cheers.

Cheers.

You happy?

Hey,

you sang really well tonight.

Hi, y'all. Nice to meet you.

Welcome in.

I have an idea.

What?

Wait.

Yep.

This is perfect for what you're about to do for me.

And what am I about to do for you?

Striptease.

Am I?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I've done it for you every time you've asked.

You better have some dollar bills for me.

We'll keep going.

If you don't put your mouth on me, I'm gonna scream.

I love having you close.

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

I've heard that before.

Our circumstances were different then.

You know, I came back for you that day.

I was gonna ask you to stay after I told you I loved you.

You loved me then? Of course I did.

Would you have stayed? Yes.

You just needed to ask.

What?

I'm just thinking what our lives would have been like if we'd spent the last

three months together.

We'd know everything about each other.

What do you want to know?

Well, we've never talked about why you make those arrangements with women.

I don't make arrangements with women.

I'm in a loving relationship with one incredible woman.

Yes, but our loving relationship started with an

arrangement.

I was about 23 when I made my first million.

That kind of money attracted a certain type of woman.

But there was one in particular who... I don't know.

She did something that I just thought I'd never be able to trust again.

Are you sure you want to hear this?

Yeah.

Positive.

I knew I never wanted to get married or have kids, but Lana didn't accept that.

She thought if she tried to fall pregnant, then I'd have to marry her.

I'm pretty sure she was lying about being on the pill as well.

After Lana, I stopped dating. I just threw myself into work.

I didn't even socialize, really.

About a year later, I was traveling for one of the vineyards.

I met a woman at the hotel restaurant.

I made a proposition.

Be my companion and not exchange any personal information.

She wasn't some 20-something who dreamed of getting married and having kids, so

she agreed.

We had a couple of weeks of fun and then never saw each other again.

Okay.

But I don't understand.

I mean, how did those women not know who you were?

The meter was all over us at the opera house.

I haven't been seen in public with a woman for years.

So, why did I get to be seen with you?

I knew you were different.

Okay,

well...

I might be different, but there are some things that are the same.

I want a husband and babies, plural.

So if you don't, that's going to be a problem for me.

You're everything I never knew I wanted.

When I think of my future, it's your face that I see.

And a bunch of little munchkins that kinda look like us.

That might have been someone's idea.

Yeah.

Hey, Harold.

Oh, okay, I see.

Hey, just give me a sec.

Everything okay?

No, there's a new shirt I have on.

Don't say no to the guys, and I'll meet you in the room. Okay. Okay.

Bye. Damn.

I got Harold. What happened?

Hey! Hey!

Are you on the beer already?

Yeah. Thank you.

Hey!

How are you?

Here she is. Great news.

A fan was at the show the other night.

Yeah? And they got your new acoustic song on their phone and they posted it.

And it has gone viral.

And we think it's a good idea that we get back to the studio in Nashville and

we record it.

All right.

Well, you guys, you all decided this without consulting me. Oh, we were just

hearing about that. Yeah, but Randy just said that we all thought that it was all

going to be fine. I'm the other part of we.

Blake's flown in. He's booked the studio. And he agrees with me.

Now is the time to strike.

Yeah, but this song wasn't meant for the world. It was meant to be for one

person.

But you didn't sing it to one person. And your fans are now going crazy for

it. I want this.

Maybe we should give it a little bit of time to think about it. Look, this ain't

a request, Laurel. Okay? Southern Ophelia's gonna record that song.

I've set it up.

I gotta get out of here.

It just all came in on her.

Sit down.

Oh, hell.

That's gonna leave a mark.

You're hurting me.

Sorry.

Oh, God.

Look, I'm sorry, but you pretend like we never even happened.

Do you have any idea how much that hurts me?

You need to play.

I love you, Lori.

I told Beth I want a divorce.

Yeah, well, I hope you didn't do that for me because that doesn't change

anything. Of course I did it for you.

Hey, hey.

Come here.

Hey, hey, hey.

We can get us back.

Yeah, everything we had, we can get it back.

I threw my marriage away for you.

Get the hell out of here.

I came here for you.

And I'm not leaving until I have you.

Please! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop!

Stop. Stop being so dramatic.

It's not like I've never done it before.

Come here.

I love you, Lori.

I need an ambulance.

Room 609.

There's been a stalker.

Can I get you something to eat?

Uh, I need shower.

I brought you some clothes.

I need you.

I'm here.

Oh, I need you in here.

I can't get them washed off.

Come on, eat.

Now someone sounds hungry.

Yeah, but I'm out of groceries.

Can you grab the notepad from the drawer?

Is that your room? Mhm.

Thanks.

What have we got here?

A gentleman would pretend that he didn't see those.

But we've established that you're only a gentleman

in public.

So maybe we could play with it.

You sure?

I need this.

Yes, ma'am.

Can I tell you something?

I have been dreaming about your lasagna.

Well, look at you.

Good.

That's fun.

We're having parsley.

Honestly.

Tomatoes.

Oh, this.

Thank you.

I better tell you guys. She'll be calling us up now.

Hi,

Mom. How's life on the road?

I'm in Nashville.

What? Blake Philbrook attacked me.

So Randy thought it'd be best for us to cancel our shows for the rest of the

week?

What did that man do to you?

Uh, I'm, I'm grocery shopping right now, Mom. Okay, can we, can we talk about

this when I get home, please?

No.

Your dad and I are coming over so you can tell us exactly what that man did to

you. No, no, no, no, Mom. No, don't. Maybe, maybe you can come over for

dinner.

Jack Henry's here.

Your Aussie guy.

Yes, Mom, my Aussie guy.

I suspect you're happy about that.

I am.

Okay, your dad and I will come over for dinner.

Meet your boyfriend.

What time?

Uh, does six o'clock work?

Sure, see you then.

Okay. Bye.

Well, I had to meet her eventually.

You sound like you already don't like her.

No, I'm just not gonna put up with someone treating you badly.

Even your mum.

Well, my dad's coming too.

I know we haven't talked about it, but they're sort of back together and he's

still married.

Great. I have a parent to set straight.

I want them to like you, okay? And I doubt they will if you tell them what

shitty parents they are. Miss McLachlan!

Oh my God, it's...

Can I get a photo? Is that okay?

Of course you can.

Excuse me, would you mind? Sure.

Anything for one of Ms.

McLaughlin's fans.

Thank you so

much, Ms.

McLaughlin. Have a lovely day.

You too. Are they okay?

Oh, they're beautiful.

Bye. Bye.

What's with that shit-eating grin? Oh, nothing.

Mm-hmm.

Miss McLachlan.

Hey,

guys. Hey, darling.

Thanks for coming.

Hello, Jack.

Jake. It's okay.

And this is my mom, Jolene.

Well, hello.

G'day, Jolene.

Okay, let's go eat.

Jake,

this is the best you'll ever have. Better than any Italian restaurant.

I don't know where she learned to cook.

She wasn't from me. No.

Yes, ma'am. She is an excellent cook.

Okay, wine.

Who wants wine?

Yeah. You got a beer?

Okay. It was the final night of the week, and he had to do it then.

You should have seen the cry reaction.

He ran it out onto the stage.

So, we were going back on the road, and the first stop is going to be... Baby, I

want to know what happened with Blake Philbrook.

Uh, he... He tried to rape me, and Jack Henry stopped him.

If I'd dealt with it when he pulled that stunt at the studio, none of this would

have happened. It's not your fault, okay? But I'm pressing charges and I

filed a restraining order, so he's not supposed to come near me.

And don't worry.

Jack Henry's going to be here.

But for how long?

Three weeks.

And... And where does that leave the two of you if you're going back?

So, uh, what do you do for work, Jack?

I'm a winemaker.

And I own a couple of vineyards.

You must do well for yourself.

I manage.

Yeah, his vineyards do quite well.

Well enough that we don't have to worry about him being here because of the

success you've achieved since you saw him last.

Come on.

It's okay, babe.

I understand your concern, Jolene.

And while I'm proud and happy of Laurelyn's success, I don't need her

money.

My own millions suit me fine.

All the same, her career is here in the U.S.

In concert halls.

Real venues.

Not some icy wine bar with a gator head on the wall.

Honey. Crock had men.

Huh?

In Australia, we have crocodiles.

Does anyone want dessert?

I mean, that went well.

I want you to have everything that you've dreamt of.

Yeah, well, I have two dreams, and getting one means that I'll get the

other.

That's a decision you have to make on your own.

I'd be devastated if years from now you regretted or blamed me for not choosing

this life.

I want to tell you to sell everything and come here and

build a life with me.

You've worked too hard for all of our success.

And I could never ask you to move away from your family.

I knew I wanted you the moment I saw you sing in that club.

I had no idea that you... you weren't just the next one.

But you're the one.

It changed my life.

I swear I could not be more.

Time is what you need.

You love it all the time in the world.

Well, there is just one thing

that I need right now.

One kiss and my world goes black I guess love's supposed to feel like that

I'm burning in your atmosphere And the world around us disappears

And I start to see it all burning Flowers blooming in the middle of the

room

One touch and we both start flying.

Your lips are electrifying.

And this kind of love comes once in a lifetime.

It's different this time.

Ready?

Oh, thank

you.

Thank you.

What's wrong with you tonight?

What makes you think something's wrong?

This.

You don't look like you feel well. I feel fine.

Oh.

So, we have...

Eight more days till I have to leave.

Mm-hmm.

Have you thought about what it would take for us not to be apart?

Every day.

You too.

That's all I could think about.

Oh.

What have you decided?

I don't want to live without you.

Me neither, but how?

I did have something in mind. Paige McLachlan?

Mm-hmm.

How does it feel to be the daughter of Jake Beckett?

Did your daddy get you your job with Southern Ophelia?

Leave. It's amazing how much you look like him.

Hi. Mm-mm.

I'm fine.

No one's gonna see me as Paige McLaughlin again.

Okay, they're just gonna see Jake Beckett's daughter now. You and the band

have earned your success without riding these coattails.

Let me just go.

Please.

I should have told you before.

I filed for divorce last week.

Looks like the press is digging into my life already.

I'm sorry.

You shouldn't worry about this, Laurie. It's not going to hurt you at all.

I mean, if anything, it'll only boost your career.

I don't want to boost from being genetically tied to Jake Beckett.

I want to earn everything on my own. You will.

You have.

The world already sees how talented you are.

Southern will feel you were great before this got out.

You should tell Randy immediately, and I think we should schedule an interview as

soon as possible.

It'll look better if it's us telling the world through some gossip sites.

This isn't what I want.

Well, it's a little late for that.

Just tell me where I need to be for the interview.

Jake Beckett and Paige McLachlan have spoken out this week. Here's what Jake

had to say.

I can't take any credit for Paige's success.

She's done it all on her own. I couldn't be prouder of her. She's an artist in

her own right. She deserves privacy, so I hope this puts things to bed.

Sure-up assistant.

Thanks.

You still leaving Sunday?

Come home with me.

You know I can't.

You can?

Or you won't?

Like you won't stay?

When does your tour finish?

Three months.

Can you come spend the holidays with me?

I have Christmas shows.

I'm trying to make plans with you six months in advance and you can't even fit

me in. Yeah, I'm trying.

Are you?

Yeah.

I don't know how.

Don't play.

This isn't how I wanted to do this.

I know.

What am I talking about, baby?

Marry me.

What?

I once asked you to be mine for three months.

And now I'm asking you to be mine forever.

I don't want your answer now.

Because I know you're not ready to say yes.

I love you.

And I want you to experience everything that this life has to offer.

It's not going to wait.

But I will.

I will wait for you.

For as long as it takes.

Come find me when you're ready to starve forever.

I can't believe you're doing this right before you get on the flight.

The next time you see me, I'm gonna ask you to be my wife.

I know you don't normally wear this until you say yes, but...

I want you to have it.

To remind you.

That I'm here.

And I always will be.

So messed with you right now, I can't see straight.

Simultaneously, I hate your guts and I love the fuck out of you. And I don't

know whether I want to slap you or get naked.

I mean, my vote is to get naked.

I just don't think they'll approve of it. I can't believe you just did this to

me.

This is the final boarding call for American Airlines flight 238 to Sydney.

I've got to go. All remaining passengers should proceed immediately.

I love you.

I think of the story we can tell our kids if you say yes.

Oh, hey, Lori.

So what's going on with you since good-looking Sue left?

Well, it's been an hour and I'm already not okay with being separated from him.

Then what's the plan? Addie, he asked me to marry him.

What? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, tell me everything.

He put a diamond ring on my finger, the most beautiful one I've ever seen, and

then he got on a plane and then he left.

He proposed right before he got on the plane?

I'm so pissed at him right now.

I mean...

He knows I'm not ready to give up my career, and yet... This is just gonna

mean that every time I look at it, I just know that he's waiting for me.

Well, what are you gonna do?

Well, I don't know. That's why I'm calling you.

Okay, well, he must love you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed.

Do you see a future with him?

It's just I'm worried that he's talking about marriage and babies, because he

knows that's what I want. Do you really think this guy... would propose if he

didn't see a future with you?

No.

But... I just... I don't realize that a future meant choosing between two

dreams.

Well, what if you don't and you never know what might have been?

Can you live with that?

Maybe. Good.

Never had anyone looking out for me.

It's just how I protect myself.

Do you really feel like you need protecting from Jack?

No. The opposite.

He always protects me.

Well, I think you have your answer.

And honestly, I think you should marry him just so I can have you back in

Australia with me.

I love you too.

Bye. Bye.

Come in, Mum.

Where is my future daughter-in-law?

Oh, she's not here.

What do you mean?

I thought everything was going really well with you two.

It was.

Yeah, she's just... Her career's taken off.

She's a huge country star.

You should see her, Mum.

Her fans, they love her, and her music's amazing.

She's just not ready to walk away from that life yet.

So you're just going to sit here and wait on her in your life together until

God knows when?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I don't want her to blame me for walking away from that life.

But I did give her a ring.

You asked her to marry you?

Yeah, kind of.

What do you mean, kind of?

What did you say when you gave it to her? I said that I knew that she needed

more time, but when she was ready, I would like her to be my wife.

Mum!

Jack Henry, that's so unromantic.

Give yourself to your mum, baby.

What is that?

A ring.

Laurie, you can't marry him.

Why not?

If you do, your career is over.

Would that be so bad?

To be with the man I love?

Of course it would.

If you're this big today, Think of how big you'll be a year from now. Yeah,

I'll be on a bus, Mom.

Traveling from one show to the next like I've already been doing.

I mean, does it ever get any easier?

It takes some getting used to.

But it gets better with time.

See?

If Jack Henry, if he hadn't come back into my life, I'd... I'll probably be

thrilled to spend every day on the road. You haven't had the time. But I know

what life feels like without him.

And I hate it every minute of it.

You haven't had the time away from him.

No, you'll get, it'll get better with time.

What are you laughing at?

I don't want it to get better.

I want to be with him.

Being with him means you don't get to have a career.

And you don't get to be with me or your dad.

He'd walk away from singing, from us.

Yeah, but I'd see you.

I'd see you whenever I could. And you guys could come visit Australia.

Hey, it's so beautiful.

And the people are so friendly.

No.

No, you shouldn't count on me coming down there.

Because I won't.

I'm sorry, but I have to draw the line. Your place is here.

You'll find someone else to love.

Like you did?

You didn't find anyone else.

You didn't find anyone else because you couldn't move past loving him.

You let it destroy you and you made me watch.

Why don't we all just take a break from you? I'm outta here.

Hey. Hey.

So what's up?

Jack Henry asked me to marry him.

Oh.

He wants you to move to Australia.

Yeah, yeah, but I haven't given him an answer yet, but... I love him, and being

apart from him feels terrible.

So this is you telling me you're leaving the band?

Yeah, it is.

I hate doing this to you. Lauren, there's nothing I wouldn't do to have a

love like you have.

Well, thanks for making me not feel like an asshat.

Well, you may think I'm the asshat after you hear my one request.

Will you stay on until the end of the tour?

Please.

That's another three months.

Not enough time to even try replacing you.

But, you know, we could start fresh with someone new after we finish and get back

in the studio.

Okay.

I can do that.

Did you invite Laurelyn for Christmas?

She's still on tour.

I don't know when or if she's going to come back.

Hey,

Laurelyn.

You were something special tonight.

Thanks, Charlie. I'm going to miss this.

I've put it in your bedroom.

Have a good evening, sir.

Hi, caveman.

I've missed you so much.

I wanted it months ago.

Is this just a visit, or are you... This is the beginning of our forever.

There's something I gotta do.

I love you.

With every fiber of my being.

I don't want to be apart anymore.

It's my heart's only desire.

I want you to be my wife.

And the mother of my children.

Will you marry me?

Yeah. Yes.

I don't want to wait.

I want to be your wife as soon as possible.

Can I practice being your husband?

Well, I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

Things perfect.

We're here.

Jack Henry?

In here.

Oh, my.

I am so happy to see you.

I didn't think you were coming home.

Yeah, I'm home.

I'm so happy to see you.

Surprise. He did good.

He did good. Mm-hmm.

Oh, yes.

Well done.

I debated if I should pull you in here or not.

Excuse me?

I couldn't in good conscience not warn you about the man you're sitting with.

What number are you?

He keeps count.

I know all about his history.

He doesn't do that anymore.

I wouldn't be so sure about that if I were you.

It hasn't been long since we met in a hotel bar.

And we went upstairs.

When?

March 20th.

I remember because it was my birthday.

I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but I'd want someone to warn me.

Are you okay?

You're the woman in the purple dress.

Of course.

Baby, please, just let me tell you what happened.

I didn't have sex with that woman. You did something with her.

And whatever it was, it was a week after I left.

Seven days.

Do you know what I was doing on day seven? I was grieving a lot. You walked

out on me, okay?

You didn't even say goodbye.

I spent the whole week drunk.

Yeah, I picked up that woman in a bar because I thought I needed someone to

get over you and I planned on fucking her. Oh, stop it. I don't want to hear

about that. You need to hear this because it'll always come between us if

you don't know the truth.

I'm just going to ask what's important for me to hear.

Okay.

Did you go down on her?

Yeah.

Did she go down on you?

No.

Did you touch her?

Yeah, I touched her breasts.

Did you kiss her?

Yeah. Yeah, I kissed her.

Did you touch her dick?

Yeah, she put a condom on it.

How close were you?

Close.

But I couldn't do it. I left.

All I could see was your face.

You have to believe me. I didn't... I...

I

couldn't do it.

I left. I got out of there.

I said the bed wasn't even cold yet.

I love you.

I love you.

I'm sorry.

Please.

I'll need to sort this one out with him.

when faced with getting some hottie blonde's ass, he couldn't do it.

So, what's the issue here?

He didn't tell me.

The other woman told me.

Do you know how humiliating it was standing in that bathroom with his ring

and another woman telling me that she went to his room?

I think that you might be judging him on the person that he was rather than the

person that he is now.

The other women I can deal with, she was after me.

I know that you're hurting, but at the end of the day, he didn't do it.

Do you really want to throw it all away?

No, but how can you?

Love someone with all your heart when I kick him in the nuts at the same time.

I know.

Are you

hammered?

Would you blame me if I was?

What do you decide?

It's over.

You didn't let me finish.

You explained what happened with that woman and... Yeah.

It was painful to hear, but... No, you didn't wrong me.

We agreed we'd never see each other again.

I can't hold that against you now, much less forever.

So this part, the part where

you and I, we don't get to be together,

it's over.

And I want you to

wear this while you fuck

me.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you sure you don't want to... Addie, I'm sure. I know, but... May I disturb

you? Of course.

I have a surprise for you.

Thank you for coming. I can't believe you're here.

Thank you.

Margaret called me last week.

said some things that made me come to my senses.

You look gorgeous, baby girl.

Jack is a fine man.

He's lucky to be making you his wife.

Oh, there you go. I'm going to need that.

You ready?

Today I lay at your feet, the man that I've been, so that I

can become the man you need me to be.

A father to our children.

I promise to love you and protect you.

I'll be your number one fan for all eternity.

I surrender my heart to you.

This day and every day hereafter.

I promise to cherish this union.

And I will love it more and more each day than I did the last.

I will laugh with you and I will cry with you.

Through good times and bad.

No matter the obstacles we may face together.

I give you my hand.

My heart and my love.

You will always be the song I sing.

Drop the tailgate down like it's Saturday, and then crank up that old

country sound while we toast a few brews. Kick off your boots and stay, let

the whole world wait, cause the sun's out now, and it would be such a shame to

just pass it by when the moment feels this right.

Oh, I'm telling you, this is life.

No doubt in it, babe.

All I can say is...

That could feel right

Country streets, I hear the highway humming like an old melody.

Got my boots on the dash and the radio low. Skipping mile after mile like a

song I heard before. Darling, I don't mind being out on the road, but could

you tell me which direction to roll?

on a sign that never comes holding on to something i don't know
