Previously on When Calls the Heart...

Mrs. Thornton, could Jamie come to school with us?

[Madeline] I'm so delighted at how he's just come to life

since we've been here.

This is a long way from home.

Which would mean we would have to plan to stay here.

Maybe even move here.

Let me guess.

Henry.

What is it you gentlemen want to talk about?

The healing power of working with your hands.

[Joseph] I thought you could build something for the town.

[Lee] I have felt a lot of things in my time with Rosemary

but I have never felt this helpless.

Hi, you two. I mean, three.

Do you want to hold her?

Yes, please.

Why does the world look so different?

Because she's in it.

Madeline.

Bill.

Two coffees, cream and sugar.

Thank you for making my life easy.

You're welcome, Mike.

Lovely weather this morning.

Should be a good day.

A good day to sell me the town land?

As I've said, it's not my land to sell.

You'd think they mayor would have a little pull around here.

You'd think.

Of course, any old land with palatial views

and a mountain stream would do... or just a stream.

Off to school. Bye, mother.

[baby crying]

[Lee] Thank you so much for letting me sleep in.

Oh, but who needs sleep

when you can spend every minute just looking at her.

Sh, Shh.

Oh, goodness.

Whoa.

[chuckles]

Hard to believe it's been three weeks already, huh?

[sighs]

[knocking]

What was that?

Oh that... I... what... the ladies!

What ladies?

The ladies were gonna come and drop off food

but that wasn't until...

9:00

No! No!

Oh! Just a minute! We're coming!

Oh, the place!

I... I... I'm gonna help. I'm helping.

- We're coming! - Yeah, hold on!

Ok, it's not so bad. It's not too bad.

Sweetheart, what do you think? Ready? Door?

No!

Hold on! Just a minute, almost there!

[Elizabeth] Food delivery!

Ok!

[exhales]

- We good? - Yes.

Ok, alright.

Ladies.

Right on time.

- Please, do come in. - Please.

Thank you.

Oh...

[Minnie] She gets more precious every day.

[Florence] Look at those rosy cheeks.

[Molly] She's just waking up.

Ladies... uh, oh.

Uh, can I interest you in a tea, perhaps?

Mmm.

[Molly] Lee, don't you even dare.

Rosemary, sit. Both of you.

I've got the tea.

We've all been there.

Thank you.

It really is such a pleasure having you visit.

Now, have the two of you decided on a name?

Oh, yes!

What do we call the little sweetheart?

Well, Lee and I haven't... quite decided.

There's just so many options and...

some good, many... many bad.

Hey.

Well, she's just so perfect

and we want to find the most absolutely perfect name.

The perfect name for the perfect baby girl.

Oh.

This is coming along nicely.

Yeah, it's up and down.

[laughs] Henry.

I don't think I've ever heard you make a joke before.

I suppose I'm not exactly known for my humor.

Hm. It seems you're discovering all sorts of new talents.

Well, uh, Joseph was right.

I am enjoying working with my hands.

Could you take on one more project?

I thought I was the project.

[laughs]

Two jokes. This is becoming a habit.

What can I do for you?

Well, we're working on a project at school growing plants.

We could use some garden boxes.

Well, I'm sure I can muster up some wood around here

and make that for you.

Wonderful.

Great. Um, I will bring the children by tomorrow

to help you build them.

Thank you so much, Henry.

Wait.

You... you want me to build them with the children?

If that's alright.

Well, I... I might be more efficient if I um...

I'll see you tomorrow.

Mmmhmm.

[chuckles]

[theme music]

[Emily] It took my carrot seed

16 days to germinate into a sprout.

And in another two months it'll be ready to eat.

I cant wait.

[applause]

Thank you very much, Emily.

So now that each of you have presented

your seedlings it's time to move on to the next step.

Planting them.

Yes, Sarah?

Plant them? Where?

Well, Mr. Gowen has offered to build us some garden boxes

at the playground where there's lots of sunshine

for your plants to grow big and strong.

Each of you will plant your seedling

and then track its progress as it grows.

What about my pumpkin?

It'll go in the garden with the rest of the vegetables.

But will it be safe?

Yes, very safe.

We'll make sure of that.

Alright, everyone, class dismissed.

[rings bell]

I'll be back in a second.

Alright.

Hi.

Are you ready for your big excursion?

Two days in the wilderness,

just me and Allie and a bunch of unsuspecting trout.

[laughs]

Thank you for giving her the day off school.

It's not a problem.

The class is doing an outdoor project

so your trip is the perfect compliment.

You know, to be honest I'm uh...

I'm a little nervous.

Our conversations really haven't been uh...

they haven't been as easy as they used to be.

Hmm.

- Just... teenagers. - [both] Teenagers.

Dad, can Angela come on our camping trip with us?

Oh, Allie, I wouldnt want to be in the way.

No... Uh, yes. Please.

If it's ok with your parents.

And um, Mrs. Thornton, of course.

Of course it is. You girls have fun.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Alright.

Tell me again, how exactly

does applying mud to my face clean my face?

Not mud, clay.

Mei says it draws the impurities out of your skin.

Mung bean, green tea, and honey ginseng.

My grandmother's traditional medicine journals

describe the properties.

The recipes have been used for hundreds of years.

Huh.

Food is skin care.

It's brilliant.

Mei is a genius.

No, my grandma Tsu iS a genius.

I really wish I got to know her better.

I'd like to make a hair appointment.

Oh, alright.

Oh, what do you have there?

It's our premier spa treatment.

A face and body mask made straight from the waters

and clay of our very own hot springs.

Well, how are you enjoying it?

Oh, well, in fact, this is my second treatment this week.

I can't get enough.

How splendid. I think I'll it.

Three o'clock tomorrow?

It's a date.

Wonderful. Thank you.

I think we just got our first customer.

Going camping for two days and missing school on Friday?

We don't want you getting hurt all the way up there.

I'll have my guide stick and I'll be with Constable Grant.

He'll help me.

I don't know, sweetheart.

What if dad comes?

Well, I'd love to go, but I have work at the sawmill,

I have to fix the railings on those fences,

not to mention my sermons.

Just because you're busy

shouldnt mean I don't get to go.

Next time, I promise.

Please?

It's... it's really important to me.

I know you're looking at each other.

Alright, you can go.

If you finish your homework beforehand.

And you promise to always listen to Constable Grant.

Yes, yes, I promise. Thank you.

- I love you. - Love you.

Love you.

[Joseph sighs]

Don't look at me.

That's not why I'm looking at you.

This town has given a whole lot of good things to our family.

I got a to-do list a mile long.

[sighs] I don't want to let people down.

You are giving a lot of good things

to this community... and our family.

Maybe it's time to do something good for yourself.

Think about it.

[Mike] Lucas, Joseph came by with your lumber quote.

I put it on your desk.

Ok.

Thanks, Mike.

Lumber? Are you building something, Lucas?

I thought you said we were done with renovations in the saloon.

It's a personal project.

Oh, I see.

A cabin in the woods, perhaps.

Or maybe he's building a boat.

You have to think a little bigger, gentlemen.

Keep this between us.

I'd like to build Elizabeth a house at the edge of town,

at the end of North Road.

Does she want that?

It's meant to be a surprise.

A surprise?

Good luck with that.

That's asking for trouble.

It's a logical move.

Plus, it'll have the newest and most innovative features.

I think Elizabeth will quite like it.

Well, in my experience it's best to discuss

this type of thing amongst the two of you.

Well, maybe Elizabeth will surprise us all.

Hmm. It's your bet.

I'm all in.

Well, she's all tucked in.

- Hey. - Oh.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't realize you were sleeping.

I didn't realize, either.

[knocking]

Not again.

- Hello? - Hello.

- We brought more casserole. - Wonderful!

A gift from Gustave.

Come in.

Please, come and eat.

You know, I am always happy to watch the baby

and give you two a break.

Oh, well let me move the diapers.

We're eating now.

- Thank you. - Mmmhmm.

Oh.

Oh, that looks so good. Thank you, oh.

Oh.

Lee.

Mmm, sorry.

Lee, that's a diaper.

Uh, right. At least it's clean.

What if I arrange a dinner for the two of you

tomorrow night at the saloon?

Our treat.

A grand four-course meal. We'll have wine, candles-

Lucas, that is very thoughtful

but it may be hard to leave the baby so soon.

Exactly. We couldn't possibly.

But... what if we could?

But we couldn't.

Right. No, no, of course not, we couldn't.

All we'd be doing is worrying about her

and to be totally honest

I think we would fall asleep at the table.

You two should go.

What?

- [both] Us? - Yes.

I mean, it must be hard for you to find time to see each other.

Yes, you two need a night out.

And not just a night out, a date night.

A romantic date night.

A date night would be nice.

- Don't be ridiculous. - I'm not being ridiculous.

You could leave little Jack with us.

Two is just as easy as one.

That's what I always say. Don't I always say that?

Uh...

Are you sure about that, Rosemary?

Of course. Let me do this for you.

I would love it. We would both love it.

Think of it as a little pre-honeymoon honeymoon.

Well?

Uh...

It's settled.

Well, look at the time. I don't want to keep you.

Thank you so much for dinner.

And... there we go, and there you go.

So we'll see you tomorrow, 6pm? Thank you again so much!

So, now we're going out and they're babysitting?

That's what Rosemary said.

Well, I guess I can't complain.

[giggles]

- Bill... - What're you packing for?

A camping trip. Is something on your mind?

Who said anything's on my mind?

Well, if you're free, actually-

There's a widow and a boy, they're tourists in town.

Tourists that wanna move here.

The St. Johns.

Oh yeah, I -

She's stuck on buying town land.

She won't consider anything

that doesn't have a stream on it.

Real picky!

That is uh-

Truth is, my land has a stream on it.

A river, in fact.

But I'm looking to move up there someday and retire.

Live a quiet life.

A quiet life? You?

Well, I like the quiet. And I like that land.

Bill, you've been trying to sell that land for years.

You tried to sell it to me.

Well, that's different. I know you.

I could never sell it to a stranger.

A stranger?

Mike says that she's been

having breakfast with you every morning.

[scoffs]

She sits in my booth.

Does she?

Yes.

Well, it's a tricky situation and I think...

[Bill groans]

Good chat. Good chat.

Alright, everyone.

Set your seedlings down, this is going to be fun.

Well, you've got quite the brood here.

I did mention it was the entire class, didn't I?

You might have left out that detail.

[Elizabeth laughs]

Alright, everyone.

Now, pay attention to Mr. Gowen.

He is going to teach us all how to build homes

for our seedlings.

Who uh, who knows how to use a hammer?

Here, go ahead and take one.

There you are.

Here, just choke up on it a little bit there.

There you are.

Oh, that makes sense.

Alright, I'll tell you what. Here's the important thing.

When you're just starting it, just tap a little

so you don't go too hard and it bounces back on you.

Alright?

Here, someone want to try it?

Can I?

Go ahead.

Can I hit it hard?

You bet. Hit it.

[Madeline] I know it's been four weeks but...

No, you don't need to remind me of my situation.

I'm well aware. I'm working on it.

I just need a little more time.

I understand.

[knocking]

The new customer,

I wanted to see how she likes it.

So it's all natural made with many local ingredients.

It's simply divine.

Where ever did you come up with such an idea?

Well, Mei here-

- I was top of my class in pharmacology school.

Mixing compounds is my speciality.

Truly fascinating.

I have to finish filling my prescription orders.

I'll see you girls later in the café?

Ok.

Nice work.

I didn't know I could do that.

It feels good to do something you didn't think you'd do.

Yeah.

Mrs. Thornton? Can we plant our seedlings now?

Uh... I'm afraid that's all for today, Emily.

It's getting late.

Sorry.

I'll be here tomorrow if anybody wants to come by.

On a Saturday? Are you sure?

Well, I mean, if its alright with you and their parents.

[children clamoring] Can we, please? Please, Mrs. Thornton?

Please?

Alright.

Anyone who'd like to can come back.

Just check with your parents first

and don't forget to bring your seedlings.

Thank you, Henry. That was very kind of you.

Well, I don't like to leave a job unfinished.

Right. That's it.

Not that you were actually having a good time.

[chuckles]

Still looking for land?

Yes.

And I'm in a bit of a hurry.

The lawyers want me to commit my late husband's holdings.

Anything else you can think of with a stream?

Just Bill's.

Bill!

Bill.

Nice to see you both.

I need to be... some place.

I have some news.

I have found some land for you.

A man named Paul Harper

is looking to off-load some acreage.

Now, it doesn't have a stream but it has great mountain views.

Oh, but without a stream it won't work for me.

Well, for someone who's looking to move quick

you're awful picky.

I know.

My late husband used to take Jamie fly-fishing.

I wanted to bring back some good memories.

A stream and fly-fishing, huh?

Oh.

I'm sure something will turn up.

Sadly, time doesn't appear to be on my side.

Bill, I appreciate everything you've done.

Really, I do.

You know, this will be Scout's first camping trip.

- Really? - Mmmhmm.

[Joseph] Hold up!

I'm coming, too.

You are?

Well, if that's ok with Constable Grant, that is.

Of course. Yes. The more the merrier.

[Nathan] Ah, just in time.

Uh, well, how's this for a campsite?

What do you think?

It looks great to me.

[Lucas] I think that's the best castle I've ever seen.

Would you ever wanna live in a castle someday?

Mommy, look. I drew a castle.

Lucas said I can live there.

Oh, what a lovely place to live.

May I come, too?

Absolutely.

Maybe we'll get one for both of you.

Oh! A castle in Hope Valley?

That I would like to see.

I'll keep that in mind.

Here you go, buddy.

Thanks, buddy.

That was very sweet.

Alright, Jack. Ooh, we better get going.

We are going over to see Auntie Rosemary and Uncle Lee

and you're going to see the baby.

Are we still on for tonight, 6:00?

Mmmhmm.

Feel free to dress up.

I will.

Well, they've given up.

- Already? - Yeah.

You know, honestly, I don't even like fishing.

It's just an excuse to spend some time with Allie.

[Joseph laughs]

I'm starting to think that's her angle, too.

It's nice to see the girls

having such a great time together.

You know, um...

Allie talks about Angela a lot.

That's great to hear.

Angela had a tough time making friends in the past.

Allie too.

I owe you one for coming out here.

Why's that?

Two days in the woods with two teenaged girls?

I mean, if you weren't here

I'd have nobody to talk to but myself.

[laughs]

I got ya.

You know, I actually didn't know how it was going to go,

looking after two babies, but I think it's going swimmingly.

I'm not a baby.

You are not. I stand corrected.

You're a big boy.

- Oh, uh... - What?

Diaper change.

Oh. Diaper change.

Ok, that's me. It's my turn.

I'm on diaper change duty, pal.

Come here, precious. Daddy's got you.

You've got her.

Oh, there you go.

Be right back.

This is for my mommy.

It is?

Well, she's going to love it.

This can be for your mommy. What's her name?

Are you sad, Auntie Rosemary?

No, I'm not sad.

I'm the happiest I've ever been.

[laughs]

Been.

[chuckles]

- Been. - Been.

I remember this dress.

I thought I remembered you liking it.

And Rosemary insisted.

[laughs]

Well, it's not often you and I get a night out on our own,

so might as well take advantage.

After you.

[Elizabeth gasps]

Oh, Lucas.

Please.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mike.

You know, you didn't have to close down

the whole saloon for our date.

[chuckles]

That's alright. I know the owner.

[laughs]

I hope you'll thank him for me.

Dinner was fit for a queen.

Speaking of...

well, I was wondering how you feel about... castle living.

Oh...

I think anyone would be lucky to live in a purple castle.

Then perhaps I'll gift you one as a wedding present.

That sounds like you.

What're you up to?

I want to give you the world.

I would get you the moon right now if I could.

Not sure where I'd keep it.

Then maybe I'll start a little smaller.

A house on a hill with the most beautiful view.

A castle for you and Jack.

Lucas, uh...

There's no need to give me an answer right now,

it's just, you know... something to think about.

Of course.

One question.

Would it have a moat?

[laughs]

Of course there would be a moat. Absolutely.

[laughs]

With a drawbridge and everything.

Mmm.

Thank you for tonight. You made it very special.

It's hardly over.

[clears throat] Elizabeth, may I have this dance?

Yes, you may.

Lets get to work.

How're you doing?

Getting it done.

Yeah. Yeah. You're doing a great job.

[Cooper] Thanks.

Sarah, is something wrong?

I don't want my plant to be lonely.

Why would your plant be lonely?

Because if I have to leave Hope Valley it will miss me.

I see.

I suppose you'll miss your pumpkin too, huh?

But I don't think you'll be leaving.

And since you'll be staying here for a good long while,

why don't we look for a way to make your pumpkin happy

in Hope Valley, too?

Shall we ask Mr. Gowen?

You uh, you got a pumpkin there?

Here's the thing about pumpkins.

They like to be together to pollinate

so that they can grow together.

Really, in a way, they... they need their friends.

What do you say I scare up some friends for your pumpkin?

Ok.

Put it right here.

There.

I think it will be a very good pumpkin,

I do, too.

To a future where my heart's forged a lyrical bond,

with no cracks like a porcelain vase.

As flowers bloom by the light of the shimmering moon.

That's beautiful.

You should submit to the Union City Herald poetry contest.

Didnt Mrs. Thornton tell you to?

Yeah, she did.

I don't know.

I'll think about it.

[playing the ukulele]

Do you ever sing along?

Well, sometimes, when I'm alone.

I bet you sound great.

You'll never know until you try.

How about this? I'll try if you try.

Deal.

[knocking]

- Rosemary? - Yes? Yes?

I'm so sorry, were you dozing?

No.

No. Not at all.

I was catching up on some laundry while she had a nap.

Thank you again for watching little Jack last night.

I hope we weren't back too late.

No, not at all. How was it?

Uh, good.

Full of surprises.

Lucas tried to ask...

[yawns]

You know, never mind. You should come over for tea.

As a thank you.

I'm sure you haven't been out of the house in days.

I wish I could but Lee is napping,

he was up all night with the baby,

and I am more tired than I have ever been in my whole life.

You need to take some time for yourself.

It's important for both you and the baby.

And you can start by going upstairs and joining Lee.

No.

I'll watch her.

You... you rest.

- Are you sure? - I'm sure.

Thank you.

What would I do without you?

You'd be very sleepy.

Hm.

Girls are all set up at the lake.

Sure is nice out here.

Yeah. It's been a while since I've been out of town.

Well, you have like 17 jobs, don't you?

[laughs]

Only three but sometimes it surely does feel like 17.

How'd you manage to get away?

Mmm.

Minnie.

She reminded me that a man's life

is not just about his vocation.

It's important for me to take time for me.

It must be tough juggling all that.

It surely can be.

I have a tough time saying no.

I think it's good to say no,

because then you can focus on the things you've said yes to.

I didn't take you for the philosophical type.

Honestly, I surprised myself with that one.

[laughs]

Alright.

Elizabeth, I'm so sorry,

I only meant to close my eyes for a minute.

- Oh. - Oh, my goodness.

How long were we asleep?

Where is the?

"Baby is with me. See you at 7:00 for tea. Love E."

Hey.

What's all this?

My mother says we're leaving.

The car is on the way to take us to the train.

Leaving? Why so sudden?

She says there isn't a place for us here.

Just hold on.

Hickam.

Where can I find Madeline St. John?

She's still upstairs. Said she had to leave.

Maybe you should have sold her your land.

Well, I can see that.

Oh, hi.

Hi. Good, I'm glad I caught you.

I wanted to tell you... there's a piece of land.

Uh, rolling fields and mountain views, and of course a stream.

Really?

Where in the world did you find it?

It's my land, and uh... I wanna sell it to you.

Bill, I...

Are you sure?

Well, I'm not using it,

so really you'd be doing me a favor.

Well, since I'd be doing you a favor...

I accept.

It's a deal.

I'll call my attorney in Union City

and have him draw up the deed of sale.

Oh.

- [knocking] - Oh.

Welcome.

Oh.

My goodness. Oh, my precious girl.

I thought you said it was gonna be tea.

There will be tea... after dinner.

Oh.

How was she?

Good as gold.

She may need a nap.

We set up little Jack's old crib upstairs just in case.

Well, that's a good idea.

We'll be right back.

Of course.

- Drink? - Oh, please. Yes.

You'd think these tourists

would know how to push in a chair.

No, no, we're on vacation, darling.

[giggles]

- Ah, thank you. - You're welcome.

- Mei? - Hmm?

Can I ask you...

Why didn't you tell that tourist that the clay mask

is your grandmother's recipe?

Oh, it's just simpler crediting my pharmacy training.

People ask a lot fewer questions.

Is that all?

It's complicated.

I like complicated.

Being born here, having never been to China,

I always felt like such a stranger to my own culture.

My mother gave up so much to come over

and she wanted me to fit in so I tried to be like everyone else.

And then when I discovered my grandmother's journals

I felt this overwhelming desire to connect to her

and to my roots,

and I felt comfortable using my grandmother's knowledge

because I knew I'd be accepted here.

And you are.

Everyone loves you here.

But the tourists.

People like to hear that I've been practicing this knowledge

since I was a little girl, but I'm still figuring it out.

It's ok not to have everything figured out.

Sometimes you just have to focus on what you know.

I know that studying my grandmother's journals

and using her recipes

is the happiest I've been in a long time.

And please never apologize for who you are,

because I think who you are is pretty great.

[clink]

I guess we needed a break a little bit more than we thought.

I must admit,

I have felt we needed to do everything ourselves.

That we wouldn't be good parents if we asked for help.

Even when our dear friends have told us otherwise.

You two...

have shown us that it is more than alright to ask for help.

In fact, sometimes it makes all the difference.

Well, on that note I would like to propose a toast

to our wonderful neighbors.

Thank you so much for a splendid evening.

I know that we're both very lucky to have you as friends.

No, wait. Not friends.

Family. You're family.

A toast. To family.

Here, here.

[clink]

So what did you two young ladies get up to today?

We found some good skipping rocks by the lakeshore.

Angela almost got three skips.

And Allie decided to submit

to the Union City Herald poetry contest.

I did?

You did?

Yep.

Well, that's great, Allie.

What made you decide to submit?

Angela promised to sing for us.

I did?

Yep.

Just pretend you're alone in your room.

We aren't even here.

[plays the ukulele]

* This little light of mine, *

* I'm gonna let it shine. *

* This little light of mine, *

* I'm gonna let it shine. *

* This little light of mine, *

* I'm gonna let it shine. *

* Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. *

[claps]

Oh my gosh, that was beautiful.

You sound just like your mama did

singing choir back in St. Louis.

Thanks, daddy.

I'm so glad I was here and I didn't miss this.

Me too.

[crickets chirping]

Well, they got home safely.

I don't wanna live in a castle.

Pardon me?

I don't want a house on a hill.

Being here is where I feel happy.

Are you sure?

It would be brand new with the latest of everything.

Lucas...

It would never feel like home.

This place, I...

I have so many memories here.

I have a community here.

I have Rosemary and Lee next door.

Having my best friend over

while our babies sleep upstairs...

there's just no house on a hill that could make up for that.

This is what's important to me.

And I hope to you, too.

I did it again, didnt I?

You're a dreamer.

You have these grand ideas, and I...

and I would never wanna deny you of them, but...

but this is my home.

Our home.

I understand. I do.

However, even if you don't want to live in a castle

that doesn't mean I won't stop treating you like a queen.

Goodnight, m'lady.

Goodnight.

[Nathan singing] * Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. *

What? What?

You didn't think your old man could sing?

- Hello. - Hi.

Ned said to tell you

that the jars for the face masks arrived today.

Oh, good.

You know, once we package these masks for sale

we'll really be in business.

So exciting.

So have you thought of a hame?

I had a thought.

We could name it after my grandmother.

That way we could honor everything she's taught me.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

I drew up a label, I hope you don't mind.

[Fiona] No, of course not.

Her name Lin means "lotus flower".

It's beautiful.

Excuse me, what is that for?

It's the name of our new botanical infused clay mask,

formulated from a family recipe

passed down to me from my grandmother.

Nathan.

It looks like you survived.

Yeah, Joseph came along last minute.

He more than saved me.

Hmm.

Who caught the biggest fish?

Believe it or not, we didn't catch a thing.

- Really? - Yeah.

Let me guess.

Ghost stories?

Hot chocolate?

Catching fireflies?

Singing.

Really? Singing?

- Yeah. - You?

Sounds like this trip might have been good for you.

It was, yeah. In more ways than one.

It's good to be home, though.

Yeah.

What do you have there? Is that muffins?

Freshly baked.

Would you like one?

If you're offering.

Actually, I'll take one more for him, too.

Horses don't eat muffins.

Oh yeah, that's right.

I guess I'll eat it.

Thanks! Giddy-up!

Welcome home.

[knocking]

- Good morning. - Good morning.

How did we all sleep?

- Four-hour stretch. - [gasp]

Oh my goodness. Well done, little one.

[chuckles]

Thank you so much for last night.

It was just what we needed.

I think we should do it every week.

Brilliant idea.

How was the rest of your evening?

Reassuring.

How so?

Lucas had another one of his... grand ideas.

And?

He was planning on a house for us

to move into after the wedding.

Oh.

Where?

Just across town, up the North Road.

Who would want to live all the way up there?

I can't imagine that you would be happy -

I wouldn't.

And after having you both over last night

I'm more sure than ever.

I think he sees that, too.

That neighbors and friends are what matter.

Mmmhmm.

I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm so emotional.

I'm happy. I'm very happy, it's just...

the idea of you leaving, even just going across town-

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying right here.

[teary] Oh, Elizabeth.
