It wasn't easy for me, either.
You could have stayed.

[ Scoffs ] You didn't give me
much of a choice.

If you didn't want
to do the show,

you could have
told me a lot earlier

instead of just quitting on me
last second.

Like, that wasn't you
really breaking up with me?

- It wasn't like that.
- Then what was it like?

Because I still
don't understand.

[ Sighs ]

It was never gonna
be our show.

What do you mean?

When the network came
to Bell Harbor,

it was because
they saw our videos of us

fixing up the rooms at the inn
and decorating for Christmas.

Yeah, they talked a big game.
They got us excited.

And then right before
I was gonna meet you here

on Christmas Eve,
the network came to me.

They told me they were
only interested in you.

Why didn't you tell me?

I had plans for us,

but I was trying to do
the right thing.

By lying to me.

By not forcing you
into a bad choice.

I knew how much
you wanted that show.

I didn't want to make you decide
between me and your dream.

So you decided for me,
is that it?

You didn't even give me a chance
to fight for us

or to try to
make it work.

You didn't give me a choice
in any of this.

I was protecting you.

Or maybe you were
protecting yourself.
