LUKE MOVED THROUGH THE JUNGLE

WITH THE STEALTH
OF A PANTHER.

EVEN AFTER MONTHS
OF EVADING HIS CAPTORS,

THE INTENSITY OF HIS YEARNING
TO GET HOME

HAD NOT WANED.

HOME...

WHERE SHE...

THE ONLY WOMAN
HE HAD EVER LOVED...

WAITED.

NOW, THAT'S PRETTY DARN GOOD.

I THINK THIS DESERVES
A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE.

COMING.

HEY, YOU!

HI! CHOCOLATE'S OUT.
MUST BE A GOOD DAY OF WORK.

HAD A BIT
OF A BREAKTHROUGH.

OOH!

WELL, LUKE DID
ESCAPE HIS CAPTORS

AND HE'S ON HIS
WAY BACK TO ABBY.

OH! AT LAST.

YES! BUT...

WILL ABBY HAVE
THE COURAGE

TO GIVE UP
HER SAFE WORLD

AND ACCEPT
HIS LOVE?

THAT IS
THE QUESTION.

I VOTE FOR LOVE.

YOU ALWAYS DO.

WELL, ONE
OF US SHOULD.

ESPECIALLY
IN THE REAL WORLD.

MM, NO THANKS.
IT'S ENOUGH TO WRITE ABOUT IT,

AND TO GIVE
MY BEST FRIEND ADVICE ABOUT

WHAT TO GET HER BOYFRIEND
FOR HIS BIRTHDAY, WHICH...

OH! CHARLIE LOVED
THE YANKEES TICKETS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I KNEW IT.

THERE IS A REASON
I HAVE BEEN COMING

TO YOU FOR ROMANTIC ADVICE
SINCE THE THIRD GRADE.

UH, YEAH.

OUTSIDER'S CLARITY
OF PERSPECTIVE.

NOBODY SHOULD BE
OUTSIDE OF ROMANCE,

LEAST OF ALL YOU.

AU CONTRAIRE.

SEE, THE WORLD NEEDS
PEOPLE LIKE ME.

PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE ROMANCE
WITH CLEAR EYES

AND THEN RECREATE IT
FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

OR YOU COULD TRY LIVING IT.

- DID THAT.
- ONCE.

ONCE WAS ENOUGH.

TODD WASN'T...

WE DON'T MENTION HIM.

SORRY.

- WHY ARE YOU MAKING THAT FACE?
- WHAT FACE?

THE "UH-OH" FACE.

IT'S MY PUBLISHER, DIANA.

WHY AREN'T
YOU ANSWERING?

'CAUSE SHE
NEVER CALLS ME.

IT'S ALWAYS HER ASSISTANT
OR MY EX-EDITOR.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

WE DON'T MENTION HIM, EITHER.

OKAY, SERIOUSLY, ANSWER.

NO, THIS CAN'T BE GOOD NEWS.

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY
KNOW THAT?

INSTINCT.

ANSWER!

HELLO. HEY... OH.

WENT TO VOICEMAIL.

YOU ARE ADORABLY
FRUSTRATING SOMETIMES.

I KNOW.

MY SPIDEY-SENSES ARE TINGLING.

THINGS HAVE JUST BEEN
OFF WITH HER EVER SINCE THE B...

AND?

THIS CAN'T BE GOOD.

SHE WANTS ME
TO COME IN TODAY,

FOR A MEETING ABOUT
THE NEW DRAFT OF MY BOOK.

OH! I KNEW THAT CHOCOLATE
WAS PREMATURE.

I KNOW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, YEAH, I'M PRETTY SURE

THIS HAS TO DO WITH
THE WHOLE EDITING FIASCO.

I THOUGHT WE DIDN'T
TALK ABOUT THAT.

WELL, I DO HAVE
THIS IMPROMPTU MEETING

BECAUSE THERE'S TROUBLE
FROM THE LAST BOOK.

FLAMES OF DESIRE.

WE DO NOT TALK
ABOUT THE TITLE!

CAN YOU
SEND ME AN E-MAIL

OF ALL THE THINGS
YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT?

COME ON,
I'M BEING SERIOUS, MOLLY!

YOU ARE ONE
OF THEIR BIGGEST AUTHORS.

I KNOW,

BUT YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD
AS YOUR LAST BOOK,

AND, LET'S FACE IT,
MY LAST BOOK WAS...

AH!

OHH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I WAS SAVING YOU
FROM POTENTIAL INJURY!

I WAS WALKING
DOWN A SIDEWALK!

DANGER CAN COME FROM
ANY DIRECTION AND AT ANY MOMENT.

YEAH, LIKE FROM
AN ICED MOCHA

AND A STRANGER
WITH A HERO COMPLEX?

OR FROM A SKATEBOARDER
AND A DISTRACTED PEDESTRIAN.

WHAT SKATEBOARDER?

EXACTLY.

OH...

AND YOU'RE WELCOME.

OH, YEAH. THANKS.

YOU KNOW, FOR THE RECORD,
I DIDN'T SEE A SKATEBOARDER.

I KNOW.

AND I SUPPOSE,
IF THERE HAD BEEN ONE,

THEN YOUR ACTIONS
WOULD HAVE BEEN WARRANTED.

I THINK THE WORDS
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

ARE "THANK"
AND "YOU".

THANK YOU.

WHAT WAS THAT?

ELEVATOR.

MORNING.

AFTER YOU.

NO, THAT'S OKAY.
AFTER YOU.

A GENTLEMAN ALWAYS HOLDS
THE DOOR FOR A LADY.

THAT'S OKAY,
THIS LADY PREFERS

TO HOLD HER OWN DOOR,

SO I'M GOOD.

WE COULD GO
AT THE SAME TIME.

WOW, YOU REALLY CAN'T
LET THIS GO, CAN YOU?

- NO.
- OKAY. FINE.

ON THREE.
ONE, TWO, THREE. GO!

AHEM. HI, STACEY.

SHE'S WAITING
IN HER OFFICE.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY, SO I FEEL LIKE

I'VE BEEN CALLED
INTO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE.

DO I HAVE DETENTION?

NOT YET.

OH.

JO, YOU'RE AWARE OF
THE LESS-THAN-STELLAR

CRITICAL RECEPTION
FOR FLAMES OF DESIRE.

WELL, SURE, BUT, YOU KNOW,
AS I ALWAYS SAY,

THOSE WHO CAN, WRITE,

AND THOSE WHO CAN'T
BLOG NEGATIVE COMMENTS.

- IT WAS PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY.
- WELL...

- AND THE GAZETTE.
- ALL RIGHT.

AND THE READERS.

HERE'S THE THING.
THERE WERE SOME FACTS

THAT WERE A LITTLE OFF
ABOUT THE FIREFIGHTERS...

73.

BUT IT'S
THE EDITOR'S JOB

TO CATCH THAT.

AND THAT'S WHY
THE EDITOR IS NOW GONE.

MM! PROBLEM SOLVED!

MM. NO.

THAT WASN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM.

OH. REALLY?

JO, I BOUGHT

YOUR FIRST BOOK

BECAUSE YOUR VOICE
WAS FRESH.

IT WAS EXCITING
AND ENGAGED.

TODAY,
YOU'RE NONE OF THOSE THINGS,

AND IT SHOWS.

THAT WAS BLUNT.

I COULD BE
BLUNTER.

NO, I'M GOOD.

I READ THE FIRST DRAFT
OF SEALED,

AND, FRANKLY,
YOU'RE ON THE SAME ROAD

TO MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES
YOU MADE IN FLAMES.

WELL, BUT IT...

IT'S A FIRST DRAFT.

JUST AS YOU SAID,
WE WILL GET THERE.

YES, WE WILL GET IT,
AND WE'RE GONNA GET IT NOW.

ONLY, THIS TIME, WE NEED
TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

WE NEED TO TAKE
A DIFFERENT APPROACH.

SALES ON YOUR LAST TWO BOOKS
HAVE BEEN DOWN.

WE CANNOT AFFORD
ANOTHER DISASTER.

YOU CANNOT AFFORD
ANOTHER DISASTER.

WELL, THAT WAS
REALLY OMINOUS, DIANA.

GOOD.

BECAUSE WE ARE THREE MONTHS
AWAY FROM PUBLICATION,

AND, JO, YOUR NEXT PASS
HAS TO BE DARN NEAR PERFECT.

WHAT, "OR ELSE"?

YES. OR ELSE.

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

A CONSULTANT?

NOT JUST ANY CONSULTANT.
A RETIRED NAVY SEAL.

HIGHLY-DECORATED.

SILVER STAR,
SEVERAL BRONZE STARS.

YOU GET TO LEARN
FROM THE SOURCE,

IMMERSE YOURSELF
IN THE WORLD.

IMMERSE MYSELF?

THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE
GONNA DO WHAT THEY DO,

BREATHE THE SAME AIR.
CRAWL IN THE MUD.

- THE MUD?
- THE MUD.

THIS IS NOT GOOGLELAND
ANYMORE, JO.

THIS IS HANDS-ON
RESEARCH.

OKAY, FINE.
SO, WHO IS THIS GUY?

CAPTAIN COLIN KELLY
AT YOUR SERVICE.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.

HAVE YOU TWO
ALREADY MET?

NOT OFFICIALLY.

UNTIL NOW, MS. PAYDEN.

CAPTAIN KELLY.

"KELLY." WAIT.

THAT'S RIGHT, JO.

THIS IS MY YOUNGER
BROTHER, COLIN.

GREAT!

WELL, DID YOU READ IT?

I DID.

AHEM. AND?

WE HAVE OUR WORK
CUT OUT FOR US.

WE?

YES. YOU, ME. "WE".

DID YOU DO ANY RESEARCH?

I ALWAYS DO MY RESEARCH,

BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW,

THE MAIN FOCUS
IS THE LOVE STORY.

YEAH, THAT'S A PROBLEM, TOO.

I'M SORRY?

WHY ON EARTH WOULD
THESE TWO FALL FOR EACH OTHER?

THEY'RE TOTAL OPPOSITES.

RIGHT, BUT DEEP DOWN,
SEE, THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR.

NEH.

NEH?
DID YOU JUST "NEH" MY ROMANCE?

REALISTICALLY,

THEY'D BREAK UP IN SIX MONTHS,
A YEAR TOPS.

HE'S A MAN OF ACTION,

AND SHE'S A FLORIST
WHO HASN'T LEFT TULSA.

OKAY.

THEY'RE YIN
AND YANG.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T SAY
THEY COMPLETE EACH OTHER.

OKAY, CAPTAIN CYNICAL.

YOUR JOB IS GONNA BE
TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE SEAL PARTS
ARE ACCURATE.

I WILL DO THE WRITING.

AND FOR THE RECORD,

I AM ONLY HERE
BECAUSE DIANA ASKED ME TO BE.

WELL, WE HAVE
ONE THING IN COMMON.

TOMORROW MORNING.

5:30 A.M. BE THERE.

AND HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED
TO HELP ME WRITING MY BOOK?

IF YOU'RE GONNA WRITE
WITH ANY AUTHENTICITY

ABOUT THE NAVY SEALS,

YOU NEED TO GET TO KNOW THEM
AT THE MOST BASIC LEVEL.

I PROMISE...

THIS WILL BE
QUITE THE INTRODUCTION.

YOU'RE ON.

"TRAINING SEALS
BEFORE THEY'RE SEALS." HMM.

I BET THAT READ BETTER
IN HIS HEAD.

YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

ARE YOU?

IT'S A BIG ASK.

I THINK I CAN
HANDLE THE PRINCESS.

PRINCESS?

I READ HER BIO.

BOTH HER PARENTS ARE PROFESSORS,

SHE GREW UP IN THE IVORY TOWERS
OF THE IVY LEAGUE,

PROBABLY HASN'T DONE
A HARD WORK IN HER LIFE.

PRINCESS.

FIRST THING I LEARNED
AS A PUBLISHER

IS YOU NEVER BELIEVE
EVERYTHING YOU READ.

I'LL KEEP YOU
UPDATED.

JUST DO ME A FAVOR.
DO NOT KILL HER.

I NEED TO HAVE
THIS BOOK FINISHED.

NO PROMISES.

OH...

OH, NO.

OHH.

IT'S EARLY.

OHH. I SERIOUSLY PREFER
GOOGLE RESEARCH.

WOW.

IF WE'RE GONNA WORK OUT
AT THE CRACK OF DAWN,

I FIGURED I SHOULD WEAR
REFLECTIVE CLOTHING.

YOU KNOW,
SAFETY FIRST.

YEP, THERE'D BE
NO MISSING YOU.

WOW. YOU'RE PEPPY TODAY.

ALWAYS AM AFTER
MY MORNING WORKOUT.

YOU'VE ALREADY
HAD A WORKOUT?

4:30. EVERY MORNING.

DISCIPLINE IS THE FOUNDATION
OF BEING A SEAL.

AFTER YOU.

THIS IS YOUR PLACE, HUH?

YES. ONE OF FOUR I CREATED.

WE PREPARE RECRUITS WHO PLAN
TO BE SEALS FOR BUDS.

"BASIC UNDERWATER
DEMOLITION SEALS,"

THE 24-WEEK
SEAL-TRAINING COURSE.

SEE? I DID SOME RESEARCH.

THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

UM, YOU DON'T
EXPECT ME TO DO THIS

FOR 24 WEEKS,
THOUGH, RIGHT?

BECAUSE THAT'S
NOT POSSIBLE.

SEALS ACCOMPLISH THE IMPOSSIBLE
FOR BREAKFAST,

AND THE IMPROBABLE
FOR LUNCH.

RALPH,
THIS IS JO PAYDEN.

I FIGURED THAT.

JO, THIS IS RALPH LODELL,
ONE OF MY INSTRUCTORS.

JUST FYI...

UM, I AM NOT HERE
FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE,

I'M JUST HERE FOR
A LITTLE RESEARCH.

RESEARCH IS
THE ACCUMULATION OF FACTS.

YOUR TASK IS TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A SEAL.

MM-HMM. AND YOUR TASK
IS TO TEACH ME.

OH, I INTEND TO.

GOOD.

LET'S GET YOU
A CHANGE OF CLOTHES.

OH, NO, THANKS.

I FEEL PRETTY
COZY AS-IS.

WE HAVE A DIFFERENT STYLE.

OH, I CAN'T WEAR THOSE.
THERE'S NO ARCH SUPPORT.

PLUS, I PRONATE,
SO I'M GONNA NEED

SOMETHING WITH
A LITTLE MORE STRUCTURE.

WE ALL DO IT.
YOU CAN, TOO.

BUT... BUT...

ARE THESE EVEN
IN MY SIZE?

SEVEN AND A HALF.
NARROW.

YOU'RE NOT
MY FIRST LADY RECRUIT.

BUT I THOUGHT THERE
WERE NO FEMALE SEALS.

NOT YET, BUT
WE DON'T DISCRIMINATE.

WE'LL PREP RECRUITS FOR
ARMY AND AIR FORCE, TOO.

OH.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU
TO MEET YOUR TEAM.

I HAVE A TEAM?

YOU HAVE
TO CHANGE FIRST.

OH.

OH, BOY.

LEARNING TO BE
PART OF A TEAM

IS ONE OF, IF NOT
THEMOST IMPORTANT PART

OF BEING A SEAL,

SO CONSIDER THIS
LESSON NUMBER ONE.

TEAM DELTA,
STEP FORWARD!

AT EASE!

THIS IS
JOSEPHINE PAYDEN.

HELLO.

THIS IS PJ SALIZAR,
SEAL RECRUIT.

CARLIE JONAS,
ARMY RECRUIT.

AND BARRY KLIMPKIE,
SEAL RECRUIT.

HE GOES BY "TINY".
IT'S IRONIC.

YEAH, I GOT IT.

DELTA TEAM!

HOW DO WE GREET PAYDEN?

HOOYAH!

OH! CUTE!

"HOO-YAH" BACK.

TADPOLES!

BEFORE YOU ENTER BUDS,

YOU WILL BE EXPECTED
TO DO THE FOLLOWING...

70 PUSH-UPS,

TWO MINUTES,

60 CURL-UPS
IN TWO MINUTES,

10 PULL-UPS
IN TWO MINUTES,

RUN FOUR MILES
WITH YOUR PANTS AND BOOTS

IN 28 MINUTES,

SWIM 1,000 YARDS...

IN...

THIS IS NOT INTERACTIVE.

NO. I KNOW.

I JUST THINK
THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME

FOR ME TO MENTION
THAT I CAN'T SWIM, SO.

WE'RE THE NAVY SEALS.

"NAVY" MEANS WATER.

YOU HAVE TO SWIM.

RIGHT.
WELL, I CAN'T,

SO UNLESS YOU WANT
TO CALL YOUR SISTER

AND LET HER KNOW

THAT I WON'T BE
DELIVERING MY REWRITE

BECAUSE I DROWNED...

WE'LL FIND A WORKAROUND.

OKAY. THANKS.

FOR NOW.

ALL RIGHT, TADPOLES!

FOLLOW INSTRUCTOR LODELL!

HE'S GONNA GET
THIS PARTY STARTED.

LET'S MOVE!

MOVE!

YOU WANT ME TO RUN?

OH, YEAH.

OKAY. OH, COULD YOU GUYS
WAIT ONE SEC?

HERE I COME!

GUYS?

AS SOME OF YOU KNOW...

BEHIND ME IS A NAVY SEAL
OBSTACLE COURSE.

YOU'LL BE EXPECTED
TO COMPLETE IT IN 12 MINUTES.

OF COURSE,
NONE OF YOU WILL.

BUT THE JOURNEY OF 1,000 MILES
BEGINS WITH THE FIRST STEP.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST STEP.

LET'S MOVE.

MOVE!

GO, GO, GO, GO!
GO, GO, GO, GO!

BE DECISIVE,
PAYDEN.

I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

THAT WALL REPRESENTS
FEAR, PAYDEN.

OKAY.

OOPS.

I'M JUST GONNA...

NEXT TIME.

YOU MUST CONQUER IT
TO MOVE AHEAD!

MUST YOU SHOUT?

I'M NOT SHOUTING!

THIS IS MY
"GET IT DONE" VOICE!

NOW GET IT DONE!

MAYBE YOU WANT ME
TO GET YOU A CAPPUCCINO!

RALPH? AMERICANO?

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- EXTRA-HOT?

EXTRA-HOT!

CONGRATULATIONS.

TODAY'S SPA DAY.
GET IN THE MUD!

LET'S GO!

OH...

THIS IS HARD.
I'M JO, BY THE WAY.

I'M FOCUSED.

I CAN SEE THAT.

I THINK YOU'LL MAKE
A VERY GOOD RECRUIT.

YOU GOT TIME TO TALK,
YOU GOT TIME TO WALK.

TEAM DELTA, GIVE ME
ANOTHER MILE AND A HALF.

WHAT? NO, NO, NO!
IT WASN'T THEM, IT WAS ME.

WHERE YOU GO, THEY GO,
VICE VERSA.

THAT IS NOT FAIR!

FAIR?
NO ONE MENTIONED FAIR.

LET'S MAKE IT THREE MILES.

WAY TO GO.

YOU HEARD HIM.
LET'S MOVE! MOVE IT! MOVE!

LET'S GO! LET'S GO!
LET'S GO! LET'S GO!

OH!

HEY, EVERYBODY.

UM...

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

SO MY ENTIRE TEAM
TREATS ME LIKE A PARIAH,

I COULD BARELY
MAKE IT THROUGH

ONE OF THE OBSTACLES
ON THE OBSTACLE COURSE,

AND I CAN'T REALLY
FEEL MY LEGS.

SO, YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN TO ME
WHAT ANY OF THIS HAS TO DO

WITH ME LEARNING
ABOUT BEING A SEAL?

YOU REALLY NEED ME
TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU?

APPARENTLY.

TEAMWORK.

TEAMWORK
IS CRUCIAL FOR SEALS.

THE STRENGTHS OF OTHERS
HELPS EACH OF US,

AND YOU HAVE TO TRUST
THE STRENGTH OF THOSE AROUND YOU

BEFORE YOU GO
INTO ANY SITUATION.

BUT... YOU'RE A WRITER,

SO THAT'D
BE HARD FOR YOU.

UH, WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

WRITERS ARE SOLITARY.

THAT'S NOT TRUE,
'CAUSE WRITERS

HAVE TO HAVE A FULL TEAM
OF PEOPLE AROUND THEM

TO GET THEIR BOOK PUBLISHED.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS
I AM IN THIS MESS

IS BECAUSE MY EX-EDITOR
DROPPED THE BALL.

SO, IT'S THE EX-EDITOR'S FAULT?

WOW.

UH, NO, I SAID
ONE OF THE REASONS.

AND YOU DO REALIZE WHAT THIS
MEANS FOR YOU, DON'T YOU?

IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOW,
OFFICIALLY,

ON MY TEAM.

TEAM SEALED WITH A KISS.

PLEASE,
DON'T SAY THAT OUT LOUD.

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, AT SOME POINT,

I AM GONNA NEED TO GET
SOME NON-CARDIO-INDUCED

INFORMATION
FROM YOU, I GUESS.

FINE.

FINE.

OW.

OW...

OW!

OW...

OW...

OW-W-W-W-W...

OW.

OH...

OH. OW...

ALL THIS FROM ONE DAY?

OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

I WAS SO SORE WHEN
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,

I COULD BARELY MOVE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR COMING OVER HERE
AND SAVING ME.

HOW COULD I NOT?
YOU SOUNDED SO SAD ON THE PHONE.

I AM SAD.

BESIDES, CHARLIE WAS
GETTING ON MY NERVES.

OH! HAS THE BLOOM
ALREADY FALLEN

FROM THAT
PARTICULAR ROSE?

A LITTLE WILTY.

WHEN YOU WERE DATING
THE GUY WE DON'T TALK ABOUT,

DID HE GO ON AND ON

ABOUT GETTING ENOUGH
BILLABLE HOURS?

OH, I MEAN, IT'S JUST
ONE OF THE MANY THINGS

THAT I DO NOT MISS.

WHAT DO YOU MISS?

HONESTLY, I CAN'T
THINK OF A THING.

UH-HUH.

THERE HAS TO BE
SOMETHING.

YOU DATED
FOR NEARLY A YEAR.

FOR YOU,
THAT IS A RECORD.

YEAH, ONE I INTEND
TO NEVER BREAK.

JO.

MOLLY, PLEASE,

I'M IN ENOUGH PAIN AS-IS.

OH.

POTASSIUM TABLETS.

THANK YOU.

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE
THEM TOMORROW, TOO.

THE SECOND DAY
IS ALWAYS WORSE.

OH.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?

DO YOU WANT ME
TO READ BACK

THE LAST PARAGRAPH?

YES. THAT
WOULD BE GREAT.

IF YOU COULD ALSO DO
ALL MY TYPING...

I THINK ALL MY FINGERS
ARE BRUISED.

HA.

THIS WAY I GET TO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

"HE CROUCHED BEHIND A ROCK,

"WAITING FOR NIGHTFALL
BEFORE HE MADE HIS NEXT MOVE.

"FEAR COURSED THROUGH HIS VEINS,
BUT HE TAMPED IT DOWN.

WITH ONLY HIS FLASHLIGHT
TO GUIDE HIM HE... "

FLASHLIGHT?

WHAT? HOW DID YOU...?

WHY NOT HAVE A KLIEG LIGHT,

MAKE IT EVEN EASIER
FOR THE ENEMY TO SPOT HIM?

OR... OR, BETTER YET, HE SHOULD
STAND UP AND ANNOUNCE,

"LOVE HAS MADE ME STUPID.

"PLEASE...

TAKE ME AWAY."

MOLLY, COLIN.

COLIN, MOLLY.

HI.

HI, MOLLY.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU DON'T DO

WHEN YOU'RE BEHIND
ENEMY TERRITORY AT NIGHT

AND YOU'RE TRYING TO ESCAPE
WITH YOUR LIFE?

- USE A FLASHLIGHT?
- BINGO!

MOLLY, YOU MAKE IT
TO THE NEXT ROUND!

YOU, HOWEVER, DO NOT.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING?

UM... MM,
LYING AROUND,

GROANING
IN PAIN. WHY?

BECAUSE YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE AT BOOTCAMP.

YOU CANNOT HONESTLY
EXPECT ME TO BE FUNCTIONAL

AFTER YESTERDAY.

I CAN, AND I DO.

WE HAD TEAM ACTIVITIES PLANNED.

TEAM DELTA WAS A WOMAN SHORT.

OH... OH, NO.

OH, YES.

OH, DO THEY
HATE ME?

YOU'RE NOT THEIR FAVORITE.

SHE CAN GO
TOMORROW, RIGHT?

WAIT A MINUTE! YOU SAID
IT WAS GONNA BE WORSE TOMORROW,

AND I CAN BARELY WALK TODAY.

YOU SHOULD TRY THIS.

IT'S PROTEIN POWDER,
AMINO ACIDS, AND MINERALS.

AND SHE'S SAVED FROM TOMORROW.

WE'RE UNDER REPAIR.
BUT THE NEXT DAY...

OH, SHE'LL BE THERE.

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

YOU'LL NEED TO FLUSH OUT
THE TOXINS AND STRETCH,

AND THAT MEANS...

YOGA.

YOGA?

YEAH, MOLLY TEACHES YOGA.

VINYASA.
YOU EVER TRIED IT?

YEAH. RIGHT.

YOU'RE NOT
SCARED, ARE YOU?

AFRAID OF YOGA?

RAISE YOUR RIGHT FOOT
INTO YOUR LEFT THIGH...

HANDS INTO PRAYER.

DEEP BREATH IN...

AND EXHALE.

AND RELEASE.

TAKE HOLD OF THE INNER-ARCH
OF YOUR RIGHT FOOT.

BREATHE IN,
RAISE YOUR LEFT ARM,

AND, AS YOU EXHALE,

LEAN FORWARD...

KICK YOUR FOOT BACK,

REACH YOUR HEART
TO THE SKY.

HOW LONG
DO I HAVE TO HOLD THIS?

TWO MINUTES.

I'M NEVER GONNA NEED THIS
IN THE REAL WORLD.

COME ON!

NAMASTE.

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.
THANK YOU. THAT WAS FUN.

I DON'T THINK HE SHARES
THE SAME SENTIMENT.

YEAH. THAT'S
WHAT MAKES IT FUN.

GLAD I COULD
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.

BYE, COLIN!

YEAH.

BYE.

SO, WHAT DID YOU
THINK OF YOGA?

WELL, ACTUALLY,

I PREFER MY EXERCISE TO BE
A BIT MORE ACTIVE.

WELL, YOU SEEMED
PRETTY ACTIVE

EVERY TIME YOU TIPPED OVER.

AHEM.

COLIN.

HEY, COLIN, WAIT. UM...

DO YOU HAVE LUNCH PLANS?

WHY? YOU GOT SOME WHEATGRASS
AND GRANOLA YOU WANT ME TO TRY?

HA-HA. NO, BUT I DO HAVE
SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SEALS

THAT I'D LOVE TO ASK YOU,

IF YOU'RE UP FOR
A LITTLE WRITER-PESTERING.

OKAY.

BUT ON ONE CONDITION.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOGA.

SO YOU WERE TELLING ME
ABOUT THE MISSION.

RIGHT.

BEFORE A SEAL GOES
ON ANY MISSION,

WE PREPARE.

AND THEN WE PREPARE
SOME MORE,

AND THEN WE PREPARE AGAIN,

UNTIL, WHEN WE GO
WHEREVER IT IS WE'RE GOING,

WE ALREADY KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO,

IT SEEMS OLD HAT.

BUT MISTAKES HAPPEN?

ALL THE TIME.

LIKE WITH YOUR LUKE.

GREAT! SO WHAT
I WROTE IS POSSIBLE?

YES AND NO.

ABSOLUTELY,
THE HELO COULD'VE CRASHED,

BUT WHERE YOU WENT WRONG

IS HAVING LUKE'S TEAM LEAVE
WITHOUT SEARCHING FOR HIM.

WHEN YOU BOND WITH SOMEONE,
YOU NEVER LEAVE THEM BEHIND.

OKAY. I CAN FIX THAT.
SHORT-TERM.

BUT IT'S JUST, LIKE,
LUKE'S CHARACTER

IS SO SOLITARY
BY NATURE, YOU KNOW?

YOU CAN BOND
WITH YOUR SEAL BROTHERS

AND STILL BE SOLITARY.

WOULD THAT DESCRIBE YOU?

I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE CHARACTERS IN YOUR BOOK.

WHOA.

CHARACTERS ARE
JUST AMALGAMATIONS

OF OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES,

AND EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS,

SO...

OKAY. I... I WOULDN'T
CONSIDER MYSELF SOLITARY

AS MUCH AS...
I'M ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.

BY YOURSELF.

YES.

HMM.

YOU KNOW,
I READ SOMEWHERE

THAT SOME SEALS
HAVE TROUBLE

ADJUSTING
TO CIVILIAN LIFE.

I GUESS THAT'S TRUE.

BUT I'VE BEEN RETIRED
NOW FOR A FEW YEARS,

AND I'M GOOD.

YEAH. BUT, YOU KNOW,
YOU NEVER STOP MOVING.

OLD HABITS.

ACTUALLY, I'M HEADING OUT
IN A COUPLE MONTHS

TO OPEN UP A NEW BOOTCAMP
IN AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.

MY FIRST INTERNATIONAL VENTURE.

WOW!

CONGRATS.
WAS MARS NOT AVAILABLE?

YEAH, IT'S FAR.

BUT I AM, UH, NOT TIED DOWN,
SO WHY NOT?

YEAH, SURE.
I MEAN, MAKES SENSE.

YOU'D ACTUALLY HAVE
TO PHYSICALLY BE IN ONE PLACE

LONG ENOUGH
TO GET TIED DOWN.

ARE YOU GONNA
FINISH THE PIZZA?

OH, NO.

IT'S FOR RALPH.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OH! UH...

REMEMBER,
WE'RE CLOSED MONDAY,

BUT TUESDAY A.M.,
WHERE WILL YOU BE?

BOOTCAMP, SIR!
BRIGHT AND EARLY.

HOOYAH!

OKAY. GAH!

HE SAYS THAT SO MUCH.

WELL, IF THE GOAL IS TO MAKE
EVERY PART OF MY BODY HURT?

PROGRESSING NICELY.

I MEANT WITH THE REWRITE.

I KNOW. YEAH, IT IS.
ACTUALLY, I'M LEARNING A LOT.

GOOD!

BECAUSE I AM THROWING
A PRELAUNCH PARTY

FOR THE BOOK.

REALLY? SO SOON?

WELL, WE HAVE
TO DO SOMETHING

TO SHOW THAT
WE'RE BEHIND THIS,

BEHIND YOU.

ALL THE CRITICS WHO DIDN'T
LIKE FLAMESWILL BE THERE,

SO IT'S A SIGN OF CONFIDENCE.

WHEN?

A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THE EARLIER BEFORE THE RELEASE,
THE BETTER.

SHOWS CONFIDENCE,
AND IT CREATES BUZZ.

MM. SO YOU'RE BLUFFING?

HMM, ONLY PARTIALLY.

I AM CONFIDENT
IN YOUR TALENT, JO.

NOBODY CAN WRITE ROMANCE
LIKE YOU CAN,

WHEN YOU WANT TO,

BUT IT'S JUST THAT,
OVER THESE LAST COUPLE OF BOOKS,

IT'S LIKE
YOU'VE STOPPED BELIEVING IN IT.

OF COURSE,
I BELIEVE IN ROMANCE!

COME ON! IT'S ME!

HEARTS, FLOWERS...

YOU KNOW, LIKE...

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

MM. "BLAH,
BLAH, BLAH."

WHEN WAS
THE LAST TIME

YOU SERIOUSLY DATED SOMEONE?

LIKE, A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

OKAY. DIDN'T YOU BRING HIM
TO A BOOK-SIGNING?

UH, "TODD"?

YEAH, BUT I DON'T REALLY
TALK ABOUT HIM.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

IS THIS TURNING INTO
A THERAPY SESSION, DIANA?

NO.

IT'S JUST THAT
YOU WOULD NOT BE

THE FIRST AUTHOR
TO GET HURT

AND THEN HIDE
BEHIND THEIR WRITING.

JO, YOU'RE SMART,

YOU'RE CREATIVE,
AND YOU'RE ATTRACTIVE,

AND IT WOULD BE A REAL SHAME
IF YOU DID THAT.

A SHAME FOR ME,
OR A SHAME FOR MY WRITING?

BOTH.

OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.

HOW ABOUT, FIRST, I FOCUS ON
BECOMING A NAVY SEAL...

THANKS FOR THAT, BY THE WAY...

SECOND, I FINISH MY NOVEL,
AND THEN...

I WORK ON
MY OWN PERSONAL ROMANCE?

HOW'S THAT?

DEAL.

GREAT.

BYE.

OKAY.

HEY, GUYS...

LISTEN, UM...

I'M REALLY SORRY
ABOUT THE OTHER DAY.

I PROMISE...
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND.

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US.

WE'RE NOT JUST DOING THIS
FOR BOOK RESEARCH.

THIS IS OUR LIFE.

I GET IT. I'M SORRY.

I PROMISE I'LL RESPECT
YOUR TIME IN THE FUTURE.

UM, BUT, FOR NOW...

HOW ABOUT JUST A LITTLE TOKEN?

FLOWER.
THAT'S FOR YOU.

ORANGE... TO BRING OUT
THE COLORS IN YOUR CHEEKS.

HAPPY SPRING!

YOU KNOW?

SO... YEAH!

GO, TEAM, RIGHT?

COOL.

KNOCK-KNOCK!

- GOOD MORNING!
- MORNING.

WHAT IS THAT?

YOU MAY
RECOGNIZE THESE.

THEY ARE
CALLED "FLOWERS."

THIS REALLY ISN'T THE PLACE
FOR FLOWERS.

WHY ARE THEY HERE?

TO BRIGHTEN THE PLACE UP!

YOU KNOW, WHEN
THINGS GET TOUGH,

REMIND PEOPLE THAT
SPRING HAS SPRUNG.

OH, THOSE ARE PRETTY!

GERBERA DAISIES
ARE LUCY'S FAVORITE.

WHAT?
WHO'S LUCY?

MY WIFE. 20 YEARS.

THIS...

SATURDAY'S OUR ANNIVERSARY.

YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO HAVE
THE FLOR...

THANKS, JO.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

OH, BOY.

AND...

YOU ARE WELCOME.

THE PURPOSE OF LOG PT...

OR "PHYSICAL TRAINING"
FOR THE NEWBIE...

IS TO BUILD TEAM COHESION.

YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD
AS YOUR WEAKEST MEMBER,

SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE
BY YOUR SIDE.

KEEP IT UP!

OKAY, TINY, CAN YOU JUST MAYBE
LOWER YOUR ARMS A LITTLE BIT?

THE ANGLE'S REALLY TOUGH
FROM BACK HERE.

IF I DO,
I CAN'T LOCK MY ELBOWS.

WE JUST NEED
TO OUTLAST TEAM ALPHA, GUYS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER
I CAN HOLD ON.

NO, NO, WE CAN DO THIS!
WE CAN DO THIS.

TINY, JUST SLOW
YOUR BREATHING A LITTLE.

HOW ELSE AM I
SUPPOSED TO BREATHE?

TRY YOGA BREATHING.

DID SHE JUST SAY
"YODA BREATHING"?

YOGA.WITH A "G".

YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD
FOR WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED OUT.

YOU MEAN, LIKE LAMAZE?

SORTA.

MY SISTER HAS FOUR KIDS.

SHE SAYS BREATHING
HELPS WITH THE PAIN.

I'LL DO ANYTHING.

I'M IN!

GOOD. TAKE A DEEP BREATH,
IN THROUGH THE NOSE...

AND OUT THROUGH THE MOUTH.

AGAIN! DEEP BREATH.

IN THROUGH THE NOSE...

OUT THROUGH THE MOUTH...

VERY GOOD!

IN THROUGH YOUR NOSE...

AND OUT THROUGH YOUR MOUTH.

SHE'S GOT TEAM DELTA
DOING YOGA BREATHING.

YOUKNOW
YOGA BREATHING?

YEAH. KINDA SORTA.

KUNDALINI
OR BIKRAM?

VIN-SOMETHING.

VINYASA.

YEAH.

AHH. THAT STUFF...

NO RESTING THE LOG
ON YOUR HEADS!

REALLY
HELPED MY SHOULDER.

SEE?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN DOING IT?

A FEW YEARS NOW.

LUCY GOT ME INTO IT

WHEN MY BLOOD
PRESSURE GOT...

NO SLACKING!

TOO HIGH.

WORKED LIKE A CHARM.

HOW COME YOU NEVER
MENTIONED IT BEFORE?

OH, THOUGHT
YOU'D LAUGH.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, TEAM ALPHA IS OUT!

WHICH MEANS, TEAM DELTA,
YOU WIN!

AS YOUR REWARD...

YOU GET TO PUT THE LOG DOWN.

- OH!
- THANK YOU.

ALPHA, DELTA,
DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE.

WE'RE GOING
THROUGH THE MUD.

YEAH!

- YEAH!
- TEAM!

TEAMS ARE GOOD.

NICE JOB.

SHE'S CUTE.

WHO'S SHE?

ANNALISE.

WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS
SINCE WE WERE KIDS.

WANT TO ASK
HER OUT, BUT...

BUT...?

SHE'S JUST WAY
OUTTA MY LEAGUE.

PJ,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I'M S... I HAVE
WATCHED YOU

SCALE A 13-FOOT WALL

LIKE YOU WERE WALKING
UP A STEPLADDER.

I WATCHED YOU CRAWL
THROUGH A PIT

THAT WAS COVERED
IN BARBED WIRE

LIKE IT WAS NOTHING.

I CANNOT BELIEVE
YOU'RE AFRAID

TO ASK OUT SOME GIRL.

I MEAN...
LOVE'S SCARY.

OKAY,
I HAVE AN IDEA.

HOW ABOUT WE COME
UP WITH A PLAN?

WE WILL CALL IT...

ASK OUT ANNALISE."

IT'LL BE GOOD.

OKAY, YOU GOT A DEAL.

OKAY, GREAT.

HEY.

OH, HEY!

I MEANT
TO GIVE YOU THESE EARLIER.

WHAT'S THAT?

MY NOTES.

OH...

NO, COLIN, THIS CHAPTER
IS ALL ABOUT ABBY.

YEAH. SHE'S PROBLEMATIC.

I'M SORRY?

SHE'S WAY TOO MUCH
OF A DREAMER

IN COMPARISON TO LUKE,

WHO, LET'S FACE IT,

IS WAY TOO MUCH OF A REALIST
FOR HER.

I MEAN, SHE HASN'T EVEN
FLOWN INTERNATIONALLY.

IT'S 2017.

WHY DOESN'T FLY INTERNATIONALLY?
I MEAN, EVEN TO CANADA.

UM... I HAVEN'T.

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING.

THERE JUST HASN'T BEEN
ANY NEED FOR ME TO GO.

EVERYTHING
THAT I COULD EVER DESIRE

IS RIGHT HERE,

IN THE TRI-STATE AREA.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

THAT'S WHY PEOPLE
GO ON ADVENTURES,

TO FIND THINGS THEY NEVER
KNEW WERE OUT THERE.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST

IF YOU JUST STUCK
TO YOUR AREA OF EXPERTISE.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
IS MY AREA OF EXPERTISE.

WELL, WRITING ROMANCE NOVELS
IS MINE, SO.

TCH.

OKAY, COLIN, YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF I NEED YOUR ADVICE,
I'M GONNA ASK FOR IT. OKAY?

WHY DO I DOUBT THAT?

WITH HIS BROTHERS IN ARMS
BY HIS SIDE,

LUKE KNEW HE WAS SAFE NOW,

PROTECTED, AT LEAST PHYSICALLY.

BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS HEART?

HE AND ABBY WERE SO DIFFERENT
FROM EACH OTHER.

WAS IT FOLLY TO THINK
SHE WOULD WAIT FOR HIM

AND WANT TO BE
BY HIS SIDE FOREVER?

AND WHAT IF HE DIDN'T HAVE
THE COURAGE

TO RISK IT ALL FOR LOVE?

HAVE COURAGE, JO.

"WE SHOULD
GO OUT SOMETIME."

IT'S A LITTLE GENERAL.

YOU DON'T WANT IT TO GO
INTO THE FRIEND-ZONE.

I WOULD ASK HER OUT
TO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIFIC.

LIKE WHAT?

UM...

LIKE, WHAT KIND OF STUFF
DOES SHE LIKE?

SHE WORKS FOR AN AIRLINE,
SO SHE'S GONE A LOT.

MM-HMM.

SHE MENTIONED THAT
SHE'D LIKE TO DO

A STAYCATION

AND SEE STUFF
SHE NEVER GETS TO SEE.

OOH! WHAT ABOUT, LIKE,
THE TWILIGHT FERRY CRUISE?

AND THEN SHE CAN GET
A VIEW OF THE CITY,

AND IT DOESN'T
BREAK THE BANK.

I LIKE THAT!

AND, SOMETIMES, IT GETS
A LITTLE COLD ON THE BOAT,

SO YOU MIGHT JUST
HAVE TO SNUGGLE.

I REALLY LIKE THAT!

UP TOP, PAYDEN!

OKAY. I GOT THIS.

EEK! OH.

OH...

NEXT TIME.

OW. OKAY.

WE NEED TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR WARDROBE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY STYLE?

OH, YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LEARN,
MY LITTLE PADAWAN.

REALLY?

THINK THEY WERE
TALKING FASHION.

I THINK SO.

HMM.

SO?

I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
YOU WERE TALENTED.

BUT...?

BUT YOUR DETAILS
ARE MUCH STRONGER NOW.

AND LUKE'S STRUGGLE

WITH BEING ALONE
VERSUS LOVING ABBY

IS BELIEVABLE.

BUT...?

I MEAN, I'M JUST SENSING

THAT THERE'S, LIKE,
ANOTHER "BUT" IN THERE,

KIND OF LURKING.

I WANT MORE ROMANCE!

OH! I KNEW IT!

I HAVE LOST MY ROMANCE MOJO!

- THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
- NO! IT'S NOT!

DIANA SAYS SHE THINKS
I'M SO BURNED OUT BY LOVE.

THAT IT'S NOW
AFFECTING MY WORK. I...

CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT NOW?

YES. YES.

I'VE GOT TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

AS YOUR FRIEND,
IT'S BEEN HARD TO WATCH.

ESPECIALLY FOR A GUY
WHO WASN'T WORTH IT.

YOU GUYS
NEVER LAUGHED TOGETHER.

WELL, YEAH,
'CAUSE HE'S NOT FUNNY.

HE'S SO NOT FUNNY.

I GUESS I JUST WANT SO BADLY
TO HAVE WHAT MY PARENTS HAVE.

YOU KNOW? DO YOU KNOW
WHAT MY DAD DID FOR MY MOM,

FOR HER BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK?

NO, BUT I'M SURE

IT SET THE BAR
INCREDIBLY HIGH...

GET THIS.
HOT-AIR BALLOON RIDE.

A PICNIC.
ALL AT SUNSET.

I MEAN, SO ROMANTIC.

DO YOU KNOW THEY STILL WRITE
EACH OTHER LOVE NOTES

AFTER 30-PLUS YEARS?

SEE? THIS TELLS ME

YOU ARE THE SAME ROMANTIC
YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.

YOU JUST HOLD YOUR PARENTS
AT SUCH A HIGH STANDARD,

THAT NO ONE
CAN LIVE UP TO THAT.

MM.

MAYBE. MAYBE.

NO "MAYBE".
YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

OH... IT'S YOUR HUMILITY THAT
I'VE ALWAYS FOUND SO ENDEARING.

HA!

OKAY, BACK TO YOU.

OH.

IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS
SINCE TODD.

- I KNOW!
- IT'S ENOUGH.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT
ANOTHER TRY.

IS THERE ANYONE
ON THE HORIZON?

HOW ABOUT CAPTAIN HOTTIE?

PLEASE.

AND I MEAN, COME...

DON'T BE DELUSIONAL!

NOT AN OUTRIGHT REJECTION.

I'M SORRY,

I BELIEVE "DELUSIONAL"
CONSTITUTES A REJECTION.

TOO BAD.

BECAUSE HIS NAME
IS THE FIRST IN YEARS

THAT HAS
MADE YOU LIGHT UP.

THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU.

OH, I'LL TAKE ONE OF THOSE.
THANK YOU.

I'M FINE.
THANK YOU.

CAMO PANTS, HUH?

YES. I THOUGHT
THE MILITARY THEME

WOULD PUT PEOPLE
IN THE MOOD.

NO, IT'S A NICE TOUCH.

THANK YOU.

LOWELL BINGLEY.

ISN'T HE THE CRITIC
FROM THE "MANHATTAN MONITOR"...

WHO SAID...
CALLED FLAMES...

"BLAZINGLY INEPT"?
UH-HUH.

LOWELL!

SO GOOD OF YOU
TO COME.

OH. YOU'VE CERTAINLY
GONE ALL OUT.

YES. NOTHING,
BUT THE BEST.

UH, SPEAKING OF,

HAVE YOU MET
THE LADY OF THE MOMENT?

JOSEPHINE PAYDEN.

HELLO.

I WASN'T SURE
YOU'D BE HERE.

WELL... I AM.

WE ARE ALL SO EXCITED
ABOUT SEALED WITH A KISS.

I GATHER, FROM THE TITLE,

AND FROM THE WAY
THE WAIT STAFF IS DRESSED,

THAT THIS LATEST LOVE TOME
IS MILITARY-THEMED?

YES. IT IS.

HMM.

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

MY SON IS IN THE NAVY.

I DON'T REALLY CARE TO SEE
SUCH AN IMPORTANT INSTITUTION

REDUCED IN
SUCH A TRIVIAL ARENA.

THE ROMANCE GENRE
IS THE BIGGEST-SELLING

IN ALL OF FICTION.

I MEAN, IT'S WORTH BILLIONS.

NOT TO MENTION,
WE MIGHT HAVE

AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH
TONS OF PEOPLE

WHO MIGHT NOT EVER KNOW
WHAT NAVY SEALS DO.

I MEAN,
THAT'S HARDLY TRIVIAL.

NO ONE IS DISPUTING
THE REACH.

IT'S THE MESSAGE
THAT WORRIES ME.

YOU HAVE MY WORD

THAT NO OTHER PUBLISHING HOUSE
OR AUTHOR

WILL EVER BE MORE DILIGENT
ABOUT MAKING SURE

THAT NAVY SEALS
ARE PORTRAYED ACCURATELY

AND WITH
THE UTMOST RESPECT.

FAIR ENOUGH.

BUT I WILL
BE READING CAREFULLY,

AND ANY MORE MISTAKES...

THERE'LL BE
NO MISTAKES.

OR SUPERFICIAL COVERAGE,

AND, UH, I WILL
CALL YOU OUT.

AGAIN.

FAIR ENOUGH.

DIANA.

YES.

LOWELL.

NICELY DONE.

NOW, ONLY A DOZEN
OR SO MORE TO GO.

OH, I JUST SAW
MARGO MARCOUX.

SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY
VICIOUS ABOUT FLAMES.

LISTEN TO ME.

DO NOT TALK TO HER

UNTIL I WARM HER UP
WITH A CHOCOLATE ECLAIR.

NO PROBLEM.

HI.

HELLO.

OH, THERE SHE IS...

THE PRINCESS WHO WON'T
FLY INTERNATIONALLY

AND CAN'T SWIM.

YOU KNOW, IT'S
A REAL TESTAMENT

TO HOW MUCH I DON'T
WANT TO BE HERE

THAT YOUR COMPANY
IS PREFERABLE TO THEIRS.

PLUS, I AM HARDLY
A PRINCESS.

RIGHT NOW, YOU COULD
GIVE KATE MIDDLETON

A RUN FOR HER MONEY.

IT'S SO ODD HEARING
"KATE MIDDLETON"

COME OUT
OF YOUR MOUTH.

WELL, I HAD AN EX
THAT WAS A ROYAL-WATCHER.

YEAH, AND, YES,
OUR LACK OF COMPATIBILITY

WAS A BIG FACTOR
IN THE BREAK-UP.

I BET!

HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT?

LONG ENOUGH FOR HER
TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS.

OH. YOU MISS HER?

UH, I'M HAPPY FOR HER.

SHE GOT EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTED,
TO SETTLE DOWN.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I WAS ON ACTIVE DUTY.
IT WASN'T AN OPTION.

BUT, I MEAN,
YOU'RE RETIRED NOW,

SO IT IS...

ISN'T IT?

DO YOU TWO NOT SPEND
ENOUGH TIME TOGETHER?

OH, NOT WITH ME
ALL GUSSIED UP

AND HER DAZZLED
BY MY BEAUTY.

OH! YES,
YOU DO LOOK PRETTY.

AND SPEAKING OF WHICH,

WE ARE GONNA
SHOOT THE COVER NEXT WEEK,

SO I WILL SEND YOU
ALL THE DETAILS,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN ME
HERE AT MY HOUSE.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

- YEAH?
- YEAH.

PLEASE TELL ME
YOU AT LEAST GOT A GUY

WHO LOOKS LIKE
HE IS MILITARY

AND NOT JUST
BEEN GOING TO THE GYM.

BEFORE WE GET INTO
THAT ALWAYS-FUN TOPIC,

I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT MY AUTHOR IS NOT HIDING

FROM THE VERY PEOPLE
SHE'S HERE TO WIN OVER.

YEAH. EXCUSE US.

GOOD LUCK, PRINCESS.

OH, ABSOLUTELY.
YES. SO TRUE.

I'M SURE IT WILL BE FINE.

ONCE AGAIN,

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL
FOR COMING HERE TODAY.

I BELIEVE
THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL BOOK

FROM A SPECIAL AUTHOR,

AND IT HAPPENS TO BE IN AN ARENA
THAT IS VERY DEAR TO MY HEART.

YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THIS,

BUT MY BROTHER, COLIN,

IS A HIGHLY-DECORATED NAVY SEAL,
AND...

HE HAS BEEN
A CONSULTANT ON THIS BOOK.

I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT JOSEPHINE PAYDEN

HAS BEEN SO DEDICATED

TO MAKING SURE
THAT HER STORY REFLECTS

THE TRUTH OF SEAL LIFE,

THAT SHE HAS BEEN

TRAINING FOR WEEKS
WITH ACTUAL RECRUITS.

SO, PLEASE...

LET'S TAKE A MOMENT
AND THANK

OUR VERY BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN
OF THE U.S. MILITARY.

THANK YOU.

AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU ALL
TO READ SEALED WITH A KISS!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

YOU WEREN'T
SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.

AND I HOPE
YOU ENJOY THE BOOK.

LEAVING SO SOON?

I JUST SPENT HOURS

PLAYING NICE WITH
MY HARSHEST CRITICS.

I DESERVE A MEDAL.

YEAH, YOU DID GO
ABOVE AND BEYOND.

OH? WERE YOU
WATCHING?

MAYBE.

AND, UH...

ABOUT EARLIER,

WHEN I GAVE YOU NOTES
ON ABBY,

I MIGHT HAVE BEEN...

YOU KNOW... WRONG.

OH. I'M SO SORRY.
WHAT WAS THAT?

I WAS WRONG.

MM. THAT'S WHAT
I THOUGHT YOU SAID.

BYE.

WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH YOU AND JO?

WE'RE JUST WORKING TOGETHER,
LIKE YOU ASKED.

MM. SO, I-I'M JUST IMAGINING

THE FLIRTATION
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU?

ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S JUST AN INTERACTION
BETWEEN COLLEAGUES.

I'M GONNA HOLD YOU TO THAT,

BECAUSE I CANNOT HAVE
ONE OF MY BIGGEST AUTHORS

DISTRACTED
AT THIS CRITICAL TIME.

AM I CLEAR?

YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY,
COLIN, I'M SERIOUS.

SHE NEEDS TO FOCUS
ON THAT REWRITE.

BESIDES, YOU'RE LEAVING TOWN.

YOU'RE GOING TO PLACE

THAT DOESN'T EXACTLY ENCOURAGE
LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS.

DOWN-SHIFT, SIS.

JO AND I ARE NOT
IN A RELATIONSHIP.

GOOD.

BECAUSE SHE HAS A LOT RIDING
ON GETTING THIS BOOK RIGHT.

WE ALL DO.

GORGEOUS.
YOU LOOK FABULOUS.

YOU'RE GORGEOUS.

BEAUTIFUL!

IT'S GONNA LOOK GOOD.

I THINK SO.
IT'S JUST THE HAIR.

- THAT ONE SIDE LOOKS...
- YEAH.

OOH.

WAIT. YOU'RE HERE.

WELL, I HAD TO CHECK OUT

WHAT VERSION OF FABIO
YOU GUYS CAME UP WITH.

YEAH. RIDICULOUS.

HE'S NOT EVEN WEARING
THE RIGHT UNIFORM!

THAT'S FOR THE MARINES,
NOT NAVY!

OH, MY GOSH.
HE'S RIGHT.

HOW DID WE NOT SEE THIS?

WELL, THEY'RE
VERY SIMILAR.

NOT TO THE TRAINED EYE.

EXCUSE ME! DO WE HAVE
A NAVY UNIFORM?

THAT'S ALL THAT I GOT.

DOES IT MATTER?

YES!

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA
TAKE A BREAK.

THIS IS A DISASTER.

HOW AM I GOING TO FIND
A NAVY UNIFORM?

WELL, I HAVE
ONE IN MY CAR,

BUT IT'S NEVER
GONNA FIT THAT GUY.

YOU COULD WEAR IT.

OF COURSE, I COULD WEAR IT,
IT'S MINE.

NO...

I'M SAYING...

YOUCOULD WEAR IT.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA, D.

YOU SAY YOURSELF,

THAT THESE BIG
BOOK-COVER MODELS,

THEY DON'T LOOK
LIKE REAL MILITARY.

WELL, YOU ARE REAL MILITARY.

RESCHEDULE.

WE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH TIME.

STOCK FOOTAGE.

IT'S JUST GONNA END UP BEING
SOME VERSION OF THIS GUY...

WHO, YOU'RE RIGHT,

DOESN'T CAPTURE THE ESSENCE
OF A NAVY SEAL.

BUT YOU DO.

SHE'S RIGHT.

NO.

PLEASE?

NO.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, STOP.

WOW.

IT'S OKAY...

YOU KIDDING ME?

NO.

NOT THE LIPS.

NOW...

LOOK AT ME.

CHIN DOWN.

OH, HE'S JUST
NOT COMFORTABLE.

YEAH, I KNOW,

BUT IT'S JUST
HIS FIRST TIME

DOING ONE
OF THESE THINGS.

WHICH IS IRRELEVANT
TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

HE'S SO HANDSOME.
IT'LL WORK.

HANDSOME?

YEAH, YOU KNOW,
OBJECTIVELY.

SPEAKING AS
AN OUTSIDE OBSERVER.

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY
MORE OF A COMPLIMENT

TO YOUR GENE POOL,

SO CONGRATS
TO YOUR MOM.

NOT THAT
YOU'RE HANDSOME.

IT'S JUST THAT, UM...

JO,

LISTEN.

NOW, WHEN I SPOKE
TO YOU EARLIER, ABOUT DATING,

WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY MEANING...

- WAS AFTER THE BOOK IS DONE.
- RIGHT.

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE DISTRACTED...

WHAT'S SHE
DOING TO HIM?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

UNBUTTONING YOUR JACKET
SO WE CAN SEE YOUR CHEST.

FOR WHAT?

SO THAT IT LOOKS...

NO, WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

I GOT IT.
THANKS SO MUCH.

SURE.

YOU'RE DOING
A GREAT JOB.

NO PROBLEM.
I'LL JUST GO.

I'M SO SORRY.

I'M SORRY. HERE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.
THINK WE'RE...

YOU CAN
KEEP GOING. OKAY.

SO, THAT WAS...

AWFUL.

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE?

THE PHOTOGRAPHER
IS REALLY HAPPY.

SHE IS?

YEAH, SHE SAID
SHE GOT SOME GREAT SHOTS.

I CAN'T SEE HOW.

OH, WELL, YOU CAN
DO A LOT THESE DAYS

WITH FILTERS,
PROCESSING.

UM, I SAW THIS LITTLE
PLACE UP THE ROAD,

IF YOU WANT TO GO,
GRAB A BITE.

YOU KNOW, JUST...
TALK SEALS?

HOOYAH.

GREAT. UM, I'M JUST
GONNA GRAB MY STUFF.

I'LL MEET YOU OUT FRONT?

OKAY. I'LL DRIVE.

WE'LL TAKE TWO CARS.

THANK YOU.

SO WHY DID YOU WANT
TO BE A NAVY SEAL?

I WANTED
TO PROTECT PEOPLE.

FROM WHAT?

WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD,
MY PARENTS PASSED.

OH, I'M SORRY.

YEAH.

DIANA HAD JUST
GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE,

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE

THE IDEA OF RAISING
HER LITTLE BROTHER

WASN'T EXACTLY WHAT
SHE ENVISIONED FOR HER LIFE.

BUT SHE DID IT.

THAT'S WHY YOU TWO
ARE SO CLOSE.

I OWE EVERYTHING TO HER.

AND I WASN'T
THE EASIEST KID TO RAISE.

I GOT INTO SOME TROUBLE
WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER.

'KAY, IT WASN'T
ANYTHING SERIOUS,

BUT IT WAS ENOUGH
FOR D TO SUGGEST

THE HIGH SCHOOL'S R.O.T.C.,

FOR SOME DISCIPLINE.

RIGHT. AND WAS IT
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?

MM! HARDLY.

BUT... WHEN
IT GOT THERE,

IT STUCK.

ESPECIALLY
WHEN I REALIZED

I COULD SAVE PEOPLE.

AH...

SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT NOW?

- NOW?
- WELL, YEAH.

YOU'RE RETIRED.

WHAT DOES SUPERMAN DO
ONCE HE'S HUNG UP HIS CAPE?

HE STARTS SCHOOLS

FOR OTHER WOULD-BE SUPERHEROES,
OF COURSE.

NO, SERIOUSLY.

IT'S SOMETHING
I HAD PLANNED.

GET INTO THE SEALS,
RETIRE,

AND THEN START BOOTCAMPS.

THAT'S GREAT.

SO, DO ANY, UM...

MISSIONS REALLY
POP IN YOUR MIND?

LIKE, WHEN
YOU THINK BACK?

KENYA. 2008.

SIX MISSIONARIES
WERE CAPTURED BY PIRATES.

THEY WERE HELD AT SEA,

SO THEY CALLED US IN
TO EXTRACT THEM.

JAMES, WHO WAS
ONE OF THE PEOPLE RESCUED,

HE HAD A WIFE
WHO WAS NINE MONTHS PREGNANT,

AND SEEING THEM
REUNITED

WAS THE MOST
AMAZING FEELING.

I BET.

AND THAT'S WHEN YOU EARNED
YOUR SILVER STAR, RIGHT?

OH, LOOK AT YOU,

YOU DID DO RESEARCH.

I TOLD YOU,
I ALWAYS DO RESEARCH.

BUT SERIOUSLY,

A SILVER STAR
IS A BIG DEAL.

YOU SHOULD
BE VERY PROUD.

I THINK MEDALS
ARE FOR TRACKMEETS,

BUT IT IS IMPORTANT
TO RECOGNIZE THE SACRIFICES

THAT THE NAVY SEALS MAKE.

YEAH. I BET DIANA
WAS SUPER-PROUD.

OH, SHE WAS.

YOU TWO
ARE REALLY SWEET.

MAKES ME KINDA WISH
I HAD A SIBLING.

I MEAN, MOLLY IS SORT OF
LIKE A SISTER TO ME,

BUT IT'S, LIKE, EVERY TIME

SHE STARTS DATING
A NEW GUY,

SHE SORT OF DISAPPEARS.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE LIKE
WHEN YOU DATE?

DISAPPEAR?

NO.

NO. BUT MOLLY SAYS

THAT'S BECAUSE I'M NEVER
REALLY INTO THE GUY.

NEVER?

WELL...

THERE WAS
THIS ONE GUY. TODD.

WE DATED
FOR, LIKE, A YEAR.

UNTIL?

UNTIL...

I FOUND OUT
THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON

HE WAS DATING AT THE TIME.

I'M SORRY.

YEAH.

WERE YOU HURT BADLY?

I THOUGHT I WAS.

BUT, ACTUALLY, I THINK I WAS
JUST USING HIM TO HIDE BEHIND,

YOU KNOW,
KIND OF LIKE A SHIELD.

IT'S JUST...

I WANT FIREWORKS.

LIKE I WRITE ABOUT.

AND I WANT THAT,
AND I DON'T THINK

THAT I SHOULD
HAVE TO COMPROMISE.

NO. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

THANK YOU.

AND THERE'S, UM...

ONE OTHER THING
THAT I DON'T THINK

YOU SHOULD HAVE
TO COMPROMISE ON.

WHAT'S THAT?

SATURDAY AFTERNOON,
AT 3:00...

UH-HUH?

I WOULD LIKE IT
IF YOU WOULD MEET ME

AT THE COMMUNITY POOL.

OH, NO...

OH, YES.

NO. I CAN'T.

OKAY, JO.

I POSED IN FRONT OF STRANGERS
WITH MAKEUP ON.

YEAH. YOU CAN DO THIS.

I DON'T SUPPOSE

THE FIRST LESSON COULD BE

MORE OF, LIKE,
A VISUALIZATION-TYPE THING?

WELL, THAT'S
EXCELLENT MENTAL TOOL,

ONE I USE MYSELF,

BUT YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO GET IN THE WATER.

WELL, AT LEAST, YOU KNOW,
TURN AROUND.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

OKAY, JUST, UM...

TAKE MY HAND,
I'LL GUIDE YOU INTO THE WATER.

YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT
TO POINT OUT

THAT THIS SHOULD SHOW YOU
HOW DEDICATED I AM

TO GETTING THE DETAILS ACCURATE
IN THE STORY.

I-I CAN SEE THAT.

WELL, NOT LITERALLY,
BECAUSE MY EYES ARE CLOSED,

BUT YOU'VE GONE
ABOVE AND BEYOND.

THANK YOU.

NOW, JO? TAKE MY HAND.

JO.

OKAY.

THAT'S IT.

AH. COLD!

ONE STEP
AT A TIME. GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, CAN I OPEN MY EYES?

UH, YEAH.

YOU'RE IN THE WATER.

MM-HMM.

OKAY!

THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR THE FIRST LESSON.

NO. NO.

ARE YOU SCARED?

UM, NO, JUST, YOU KNOW,
A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE,

WHEN YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW.

IT'S LIKE THAT
FOR MOST PEOPLE,

THE FIRST TIME
THEY TRY ANYTHING.

YEAH.

OF COURSE, YOU COULD ALWAYS
JUST NOT TRY THINGS.

WELL, THEN
YOU'D BE AVOIDING LIFE,

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO AVOID
YOUR LIFE, NOW, DO YOU, JO?

ONLY THE SCARY PARTS.

AHEM.

SO I DON'T SUPPOSE
THE POOLS ARE THIS WARM

WHEN YOU DO
ALL YOUR SEAL TRAINING?

NO. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

WE'D HAVE TO TREAD WATER
FOR HOURS, IN A CIRCLE,

PASSING WEIGHTS
TO EACH OTHER.

IT'S TO BUILD STAMINA.

I THINK
I'LL SKIP THAT LESSON.

SO HOW COME
YOU NEVER LEARNED HOW TO SWIM?

UH, HAVE YOU
HEARD OF THE TERM

"ABSENT-MINDED
PROFESSOR"?

WELL, I HAD TWO OF THOSE
FOR PARENTS.

AND DON'T GET ME WRONG,
THEY'RE GREAT, THEY'RE GREAT.

BUT SOMETIMES THEY'D GET
SO CAUGHT UP IN ACADEMIA,

THAT THEY'D FORGET TO TEACH ME
SORT OF BASIC PARENTING THINGS.

LIKE SWIMMING?

YEAH, LIKE SWIMMING.

BUT IT'S OKAY,
IT'S WHY I BECAME A WRITER.

THEY WOULD BE SO INVOLVED
WITH THEIR MATH PROBLEMS,

THAT I WOULD JUST THROW MYSELF
INTO BOOKS,

AND I WOULD CREATE
WHOLE NEW WORLDS IN MY MIND,

AND THEN, EVENTUALLY,
I PUT IT IN MY NOVELS.

AND YOU MADE ME TELL THAT STORY
TO DISTRACT ME,

TO GET ME INTO THE DEEP END?

- DIDN'T YOU?
- YEAH. AND IT WORKED.

IT SURE DID.

OKAY...

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I FEEL...
YOU KNOW, WET, BUT FINE.

OKAY. WHAT'S NEXT?

FLOATING.

FLOATING?

YOU CAN DO THIS.

DO YOU TRUST ME?

YEAH.

DON'T LET GO.

I WON'T LET GO.

DON'T LET GO.

I WON'T. I WANT YOU
TO LEAN BACK.

OKAY.

BREATHE NICE AND EASY.

OKAY, DON'T...
DON'T LET GO.

I WON'T, I WON'T.

WHEN YOU'RE READY,
YOU LET GO.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD!
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

OKAY.

I GOT YOU.
JUST RELAX.

NICE AND EASY.

BREATHING,
BREATHING, AND...

YOU'RE DOING IT!

GREAT JOB!

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

IT'S OKAY,
IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY,
I GOT YOU.

YOU'RE SAFE.

I THINK MAYBE THAT'S
ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY.

YEAH. YEAH.

I GOT YOU.

YOU GOT ME?

- I GOT YOU.
- OKAY.

HOW DID YOU NOT KISS HIM
IN THAT MOMENT?

I DON'T KNOW! I JUST...
I GOT FLUSTERED, 'KAY, MOLLY?

YEAH. BECAUSE YOU LIKE HIM.

FINE. ALL RIGHT?
I LIKE HIM.

BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER,

BECAUSE COLIN'S
GONNA BE GONE IN A MONTH,

AND, PLUS,
HE'S MY BOSS'S BROTHER.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

THE ONLY THING I CAN DO...

THROW MYSELF INTO WORK
AND IGNORE THE WHOLE THING.

YEAH, THAT'S HEALTHY.

LOOK, IT'S ALL GONNA
BE OVER IN A MONTH.

MY BOOK'S GONNA BE PUBLISHED.

COLIN GONNA'S BE IN NEW ZEALAND,

AND I'M JUST GONNA BE HERE.

LIKE I ALWAYS AM.

UNLESS YOU GO TO NEW ZEALAND.

YOUR LAPTOP
IS PORTABLE.

YOU CAN WRITE
FROM ANYWHERE.

I THINK WE'RE GETTING
AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN KISSED YET.

"YET"?

I'M GONNA GO WORK
ON THE LUKE AND ABBY REUNION.

I BET THEYKISS.

I'M OVER YOU.

TCH.

AHEM.

OHH,
IT'S SO CLOSE.

ALL THE DETAILS ARE ACCURATE.
I HAD COLIN CHECK.

YES, I KNOW.

I CAN SEE THAT.
IT'S JUST...

WHEN WE START TO GO DEEP,

ABOUT HOW LUKE AND ABBY FEEL,

WE JUST FALL SHORT
OF WHAT COULD BE AMAZING.

I MEAN, THESE TWO,
THEY CAN'T BE TOGETHER,

SO IT SHOULD FEEL
LIKE TORTURE.

THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER.

WHAT?

WHAT?

ARE YOU OKAY?

YOU'RE NOT...

YOU KNOW,
DISTRACTED BY ANYTHING?

OR ANYONE?

WHAT? NO!

YES. NO. I'M GOOD.

I'M GREAT!

PAIN, LOVE, TORTURE.
I GOT IT.

IT'S ALREADY WRITTEN.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

GOOD.

THANKS.

COLIN?

ALEXIS!

HI!

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

MY SISTER'S OFFICE
IS NEXT DOOR.

I THOUGHT I'D BE SPONTANEOUS
AND VISIT HER.

AND FRIEND.

SO WHEN THEY SAY
"PERMANENT MARKER,"

THEY AREN'T KIDDING!

WE HAD TO GET DOUG
A WHOLE NEW BRIEFCASE.

OH, MAN.

CUTE KIDS, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW, YOUR NAME
CAME UP IN CONVERSATION

THE OTHER DAY.

DO I WANT TO KNOW?

OH, IT'S ALL GOOD.
I WAS JUST RECOUNTING

YOUR LOVE OF
THE ROYAL FAMILY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I MADE YOU WATCH
THE WEDDING.

YES, YOU DID.

I'M SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T
BREAK UP WITH ME RIGHT AWAY.

OH, I WANTED TO.

I BELIEVE YOU USED

THE "I'M BEING SENT
TO ISTANBUL" EXCUSE.

I WAS SENT TO ISTANBUL.

WELL, YOU WERE
ALWAYS GOING OFF

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

- MM.
- SO!

WHERE'S YOUR NEXT
BIG ADVENTURE?

NEW ZEALAND.

ARE YOU GOING ALONE?

YEAH.

WHY?

IT'S JUST...

YOU'RE SUCH
A CATCH, COLIN.

AH, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT.

IS THERE SOMEONE?

I'M NOT SURE.

WAS THIS THE "FRIEND"

THAT YOU WERE BEING
SPONTANEOUS FOR?

YEAH.

HUH. INTERESTING.

WHY?

YOU WERE NEVER
SPONTANEOUS.

I WAS SPONTANEOUS!

YOU PLANNED EVERYTHING
TO THE LAST DETAIL,

AND YOU NEVER DEVIATED,

WHEN WE DATED.

IT'S WHAT MADE YOU
A GREAT SEAL,

BUT A TERRIBLE BOYFRIEND.

I NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I'M GONE
IN A FEW WEEKS,

AND I'VE NEVER BEEN
A STAY-IN-ONE-PLACE KINDA GUY.

FIRST OF ALL,

LOVE ALWAYS MATTERS.

AND SECONDLY,

SETTLING DOWN
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A PLACE.

IT CAN BE A PERSON.

DOUG AND I AND THE KIDS,
I MEAN, WE TRAVEL ALL THE TIME,

AND I KNOW THAT,
WHEREVER THEY ARE,

THAT'S MY HOME.

THANKS.

REMEMBER,

TO GET INTO BUDS,

YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS COURSE
IN 12 MINUTES!

READY!

SET!

GO!

GUYS!

COME ON, PAYDEN!
YOU CAN DO THIS!

SERIOUSLY, I CAN'T.

IF YOU HAD LET ME
KEEP THAT ATTITUDE,

I WOULDN'T BE GOING ON A DATE
WITH ANNALISE THIS SATURDAY!

WHAT? SHE SAID YES?
THAT'S AWESOME!

- I KNOW!
- FOCUS, PAYDEN.

IT'S TOO HIGH.

GO BACK A COUPLE YARDS.
COME ON.

COME ON!

YOU CAN DO THIS.

GET YOUR FOOT OVER!

OH...

PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT DOWN.
NOW THE OTHER FOOT DOWN.

LOOK DOWN HERE.

ALL RIGHT,
NOW FALL IN MY ARMS. READY?

- WELL DONE!
- OKAY!

LET'S GO, LET'S GO!

THAT IS...

WITHOUT A DOUBT,

THE WORST RECORDED TIME
IN SEAL OBSTACLE HISTORY.

BUT YOU DID IT AS A TEAM.

CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS!

GUYS, THERE WE GO.
BRING IT IN, BRING IT IN.

TEAM DELTA!

HOOYAH!

HOOYAH!

OH, HEY!

CONGRATS ON FINALLY
GETTING OVER THE HIGH WALL.

THANKS.

I READ THE NEW PAGES

WITH THE LUKE AND ABBY REUNION,
AND I...

WERE THE SEAL PARTS ACCURATE?

THEY WERE.

GREAT.

JO! HANG ON.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

YEAH. FINE.
I'M JUST REALLY BUSY.

ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN MEANING
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT.

THIS WILL BE MY LAST BOOTCAMP.

THERE ARE NO MORE SEAL PARTS
TO MY BOOK,

AND I REALLY NEED TO BUCKLE DOWN
AND MEET MY DEADLINE.

JUST LIKE THAT?

WE BOTH KNEW
THIS WAS TEMPORARY.

RIGHT. WELL...

LET'S AT LEAST
GO OUT TO CELEBRATE.

YOU'VE PUT IN
A LOT OF HARD WORK.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING PLANNED
ALREADY WITH THE TEAM.

I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU.

YOU'VE ALREADY GONE
ABOVE AND BEYOND.

AND THIS WAY,
YOU HAVE TIME TO GET READY

FOR YOUR NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE.

I'M SURE I'LL SEE YOU,
MAYBE ONCE BEFORE YOU GO.

SURE.

THE BOYS ARE READY.

- YEAH.
- LET'S GO.

OH...

DON'T YOU LOOK CHEERY.

HEY.

HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS
ABOUT LEAVING?

WELL, THE NEW BOOTCAMP
HAS TO BE OPENED,

AND THE INVESTORS WON'T BE HAPPY
IF I SKIPPED IT.

OKAY. THAT DOESN'T
ANSWER MY QUESTION,

WHICH, YOU KNOW,
ANSWERS MY QUESTION.

AND ALSO
RAISES ANOTHER...

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH JO?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK...

DON'T.

YOU'VE BEEN MY RESPONSIBILITY
SINCE YOU WERE 10.

I KNOW EVERY EXPRESSION
IN YOUR REPERTOIRE.

YOU CANNOT SURPRISE ME.

I THINK
I'M IN LOVE WITH HER.

UNTIL NOW.

WOW.

I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU
SAY THOSE WORDS BEFORE.

ARE YOU SURE?

NO.

NO.

BUT...

I CAN'T STOP
THINKING ABOUT HER.

IT'S LIKE THERE'S

THIS JO PAYDEN LOOP
PLAYING IN MY HEAD.

PART OF ME
WANTS TO TURN IT OFF,

BUT ANOTHER PART OF ME
WANTS TO...

LET IT PLAY ON FOREVER.

THE CRAZIEST PART IS,
WE HAVEN'T EVEN...

HAVEN'T EVEN KISSED.

REALLY?

YEAH.

NOTHING MAKES SENSE,

BUT, FROM THE FIRST MOMENT,

MY HEART BEAT FASTER.

WHEN SHE'S NOT THERE,
I LOOK FOR HER,

AND WHEN SHE IS THERE,

I HAVE TO STOP MYSELF
FROM STARING.

YOU SOUND
LIKE A ROMANCE NOVEL.

I KNOW.

WELL, HAVE YOU TOLD HER
ANY OF THIS?

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.

YOU GET IN YOUR CAR,

YOU DRIVE TO HER PLACE,

YOU KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

WHEN SHE ANSWERS,
YOU SAY,

"JO...

"I HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU,

"BUT I'M LEAVING.

SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS SUBJECT?"

THAT SOUNDS ACADEMIC, D.

WELL, THEN, YOU USE
YOUR OWN WORDS,

BUT YOU DO IT.

I'M OLDER THAN MOM AND DAD WERE
WHEN THEY PASSED.

YOU'RE ALMOST THERE.

LIFE IS
SO SHORT, COLIN.

IF YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HER,

OR EVEN IF YOU THINK
YOU MIGHT BE,

YOU HAVE TO TELL HER.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR REWRITE?

YOU'RE MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THE REWRITE.

BUT IF YOU
COULD MAYBE NOT

GET HER SO UPSET
THAT SHE CAN'T FINISH IT...

MWAH.

GET GOING.

YEAH.

"HE APPEARED
AS IF OUT OF A DREAM,

RAISING MORE QUESTIONS
THAN HE ANSWERED..."

HI.

COLIN, HEY.
UH... WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU MIND IF I COME IN?

S... UH, SURE.

THANKS.

UH, THIS FEELS LIKE

THE FIRST TIME I WENT THROUGH

"DROWN-PROOF" TRAINING
IN BUDS.

OH, THAT'S WHERE

THEY TIE YOUR ARMS
AND YOUR LEGS TOGETHER, RIGHT?

YEAH.
AND YOU...

AND YOU JUMP
IN THE POOL.

YEAH, GLAD WE DIDN'T
GET TO THAT EXERCISE.

LOOK, JO, UM...

THE THING IS...

UH...

ARE YOU OKAY?

Y-YEAH, YEAH.

I'M SORRY.
IT'S JUST, UH,

I WANTED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING
BEFORE I LEAVE.

UM, COLIN, LET ME...
LET ME START.

I JUST WANT TO SAY

THAT I AM SO GLAD THAT DIANA
PAIRED US UP TOGETHER.

SO AM I.

AND IF YOU HAD
TOLD ME ON DAY ONE,

WHEN I SPILLED COFFEE
ALL OVER YOU,

AFTER YOU "SAVED ME"
FROM A SKATEBOARDER

THAT MAY OR MAY NOT
HAVE EXISTED...

HE EXISTED.

THAT YOU AND I WOULD HAVE
ENDED UP, UH, AHEM, FRIENDS...

I WOULDN'T HAVE
BELIEVED IT.

"FRIENDS."

AND I'M SO GRATEFUL
TO YOU, YOU KNOW.

AND NOT JUST FOR YOUR HELP
WITH THE BOOK,

BUT FOR BOOTCAMP.

THAT IS AN EXPERIENCE
I WILL NEVER FORGET.

I MEAN,
I WAS PART OF A TEAM. ME!

AND I ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN
I EVER EVEN THOUGHT POSSIBLE,

SO... THANK YOU.

I'M GLAD IT HELPED.

IT DID.

IMMENSELY.

YOUR TURN.

RIGHT.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
A MEMENTO.

THANK YOU.

I LOVE IT.

GOOD.

I'M GONNA LET YOU

GET BACK TO WHATEVER IT WAS
YOU WERE DOING.

COOL.

GOODBYE, JO.

"HOLDING BACK TEARS,
HE SMILED AT HER

"AS THE MEMORIES
OF ALL THEY HAD ENDURED

"FADED AWAY.

SHE WAS IN HIS ARMS NOW."

"THAT WAS ALL HE NEEDED.

"AND HE KNEW,

"AFTER A LIFELONG,
RESTLESS JOURNEY,

HE WAS, AT LONG LAST,
HOME."

THAT IS
MY FAVORITE PART!

WHERE THEY FINALLY
GET TOGETHER

AFTER EVERYTHING
THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH.

WELL, BLAME MY PUBLISHER...
PAIN, TORTURE, LOVE.

YES! AND LOOK, IT WORKED.

GOOD.

WHAT IS THAT?

OH. A SURPRISE.

IT WAS THE BEST PHOTO.

OHH...

BUT MY BOOK COVERS
USUALLY JUST FEATURE THE MAN.

YEAH, WELL, I FELT WE'D MAKE
A LITTLE EXCEPTION.

HAS COLIN SEEN IT?

NO, HE'S NOT.

HE'S BEEN VERY BUSY,
GETTING READY FOR NEW ZEALAND.

OH, YEAH.
HE MUST BE REALLY EXCITED.

NO, IT'S WORK,
IT'S NOT A VACATION.

AND IF HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO,

I KNOW FOR A FACT
THAT HE WOULD STAY RIGHT HERE.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?

NOT AT ALL!

BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD
PHONE HIM YOURSELF AND FIND OUT.

WELL, I'M A SMIDGE BUSY

WITH MY LITTLE WRITING HOBBY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE BEST
PART ABOUT THIS BOOK IS,

IT'S REAL.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST
THING YOU'VE EVER WRITTEN.

REALLY?

YES.

WELL, THANKS TO YOU.

AND TO COLIN.

MAY 13TH.

YES, WHAT ABOUT IT?

THAT'S THE INAUGURAL
BOOK-SIGNING FOR "SEALED".

SO SOON?

IT'S BUZZ!

WE SENT OUT SOME ADVANCE COPIES
TO CHOICE CRITICS,

INCLUDING LOWELL BINGLEY...

UGH. AND?

AND I THINK YOU JUST MIGHT BE
HIS NEW FAVORITE WRITER.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

HOW ABOUT THAT!

COME IN.

HEY.

HI.

WHAT'S UP?

HERE'S THE THING
ABOUT CLICHES.

SOMETIMES,
THEY'RE RIGHT.

LIKE WHEN A GUY
BREAKS UP WITH YOU,

AND ALL YOU WANT TO DO

IS EAT ICE CREAM
WITH YOUR BESTIE

AND COMMISERATE.

MOLLY, I'M SORRY.

WHAT HAPPENED?

IT'S A LONG STORY.

MY HEART IS BROKEN.

OH, MOLL.

I DON'T THINK THAT
CHARLIE BROKE YOUR HEART.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, THAT'S COOKIES
AND CREAM,

AND NORMALLY,

WHEN YOU'RE HEARTBROKEN,
IT'S A CHOCOLATE FUDGE.

ACCURATE.

WHAT KIND OF ICE CREAM
DID YOU EAT

AFTER THE WHOLE DISASTER
WITH COLIN?

NOTHING.

I ATE NOTHING
AT ALL.

I LOVE THIS PART.
IT'S SO CUTE.

I BET I COULD RECITE
ALL THE DIALOGUE.

WORD FOR WORD?

PROBABLY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
SOMETHING TO COLIN?

WHEN HE CAME BY,

YOU SHOULD'VE ASKED HIM

WHO THAT WOMAN WAS
OR SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

WE ARE NOT DATING.

I DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT
TO BE MAD AT HIM

FOR SEEING SOMEONE ELSE.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN
IT DOESN'T HURT.

YOU LIKED HIM MORE THAN
I'VE SEEN YOU LIKE ANYONE.

EVEN TODD.

I THINK
I MORE THAN LIKED HIM.

OH, HONEY.

PJ'S RIGHT.

LOVE IS SCARY.

I DON'T KNOW,
I JUST FEEL LIKE

I WAITED SO LONG
TO FIND SOMEBODY

WHO MAKES ME FEEL...

WHO MAKES ME FEEL.

YOU SHOULD
SAY THAT TO HIM.

NO, I CAN'T.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE WHAT IF
HE LAUGHS AT ME,

OR, WORSE,
WHAT IF HE PITIES ME?

I MEAN...

EVERY PERSON WHO HAS
EVER FALLEN IN LOVE

HAS FELT THAT EXACT
SAME WAY AT LEAST ONCE,

INCLUDING
YOUR PERFECT PARENTS.

I'VE HAD MINE
STOMPED ON,

CRUSHED...

BUT AT LEAST I TRIED.

I MEAN, I TRIED.

A LITTLE.

NOT ENOUGH.

I'M SUCH A COWARD.

OH, SWEETIE. NO.

THERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

HI.

HEY!

HI.

YOU'RE HERE.

I WOULDN'T MISS THE BOOK LAUNCH
OF MY FAVORITE AUTHOR.

OHH.

- LOOK.
- WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

DID YOU SEE
THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS?

YEAH, D SHOWED ME.

THAT'S VERY NICE.
THANK YOU.

SO WHEN DO YOU LEAVE?

I FLY OUT IN A FEW HOURS.

BUT I CHANGED MY TICKET
SO I COULD BE HERE,

AND GIVE YOU THIS.

DO YOU WANT ME TO SIGN IT?

NO.

I ACTUALLY WROTE SOMETHING
FOR YOU INSIDE,

BUT DON'T READ IT
NOW, PLEASE.

IT'S... WHAT I COULDN'T SAY
TO YOU THE OTHER NIGHT.

SO YOU DID COME OVER,
PLANNING TO SAY SOMETHING?

BUT I CHOKED.

LIKE A NEW RECRUIT.

BUT IT'S IN HERE.

ANYWAY, UM...
CONGRATULATIONS.

THIS IS GREAT.

THANK YOU. HAVE A...
HAVE A GREAT TRIP.

THANK YOU.

GOODBYE, JO.

BYE.

SEE YOU, SIS.

BYE, MOLLY.

HI! HOW ARE YOU?

- HEY.
- HEY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YOU TOO.

- ENJOY.
- OKAY.

I'M SORRY. WHO DO I
MAKE IT OUT TO, AGAIN?

YEAH.

THANK YOU.

HI! I'M ALEXIS.

I'M AN OLD FRIEND OF COLIN'S
AND I'M A HUGE FAN.

ALEXIS?

YEAH, WHEN WE RAN
INTO EACH OTHER A FEW WEEKS AGO,

COLIN SAID THAT YOU TWO
WERE WORKING TOGETHER

AND I NEARLY DIED!

I LOVED DANGEROUS IN BLUE.

OH, THANK YOU
SO MUCH.

THAT'S SO NICE
OF YOU TO SAY.

SO, YOU AND COLIN ARE...
ARE DATING NOW?

WHAT? OH...

NO, NO.
I'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR YEARS.

OH, COLIN AND I DID DATE
FOR, LIKE, A MICROSECOND,

BACK WHEN I MADE HIM
WATCH THE ROYAL WEDDING.

KATE MIDDLETON.

OH, I LOVE HER!

I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE DATING.
MAYBE?

WHY?

WELL, IT WAS THE WAY
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU,

LIKE HIS TONE.

EVEN WHEN IT WAS JUST ABOUT
HOW HE HELPED CONSULT ON THIS.

HE CLEARLY THINKS
THE WORLD OF YOU.

IT WAS REALLY SWEET
AND ROMANTIC, YOU KNOW?

WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW!

THIS IS THE STUFF
YOU WRITE ABOUT ALL THE TIME!

YEAH.

OH. THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'RE SO AWESOME.

I'M SORRY,
JUST GIVE ME ONE...

ONE SECOND.

I THINK I NEED
A MINUTE.

ARE YOU OKAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

"JO.

"I'M NO WRITER,
SO PLEASE BE KIND.

"I'VE BEEN ON MISSIONS
AROUND THE WORLD,

"BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN
AS SCARED AS I WAS

"WHEN I TRIED TO TELL YOU
HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE TO ME,

"AND HOW I WISH
I WAS STAYING HERE WITH YOU,

"SO WE COULD HAVE A CHANCE...

"INSTEAD OF LEAVING.

"AND I REALIZE THAT 'HOME'
ISN'T A LOCATION.

"IT'S A PERSON.

"AND, FOR ME,
YOU'RE THAT PERSON.

LOVE, COLIN."

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
FIGHT FOR HIM?

FIGHT...?

WHAT DO YOU...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, FIGHT FOR HIM?

WHAT KIND OF
ROMANCE WRITER

ARE YOU, PAYDEN?

THIS IS EXACTLY

WHEN THE HEROINE GOES AFTER
HER TRUE LOVE.

IT'S IN ALMOST EVERY BOOK.

WHAT?

I LOVE ROMANCE.

SHE'S RIGHT.

I MEAN, YOU WOULDN'T
LET ME GET AWAY

WITH THAT
ABOUT ANNALISE.

WELL... OKAY, NO.
BUT IT'S DIFFERENT, BECAUSE...

- OKAY, HERE'S...
- DO THE YODA BREATHING.

THANK YOU, TINY.

YOU SAID
YOU WISHED YOU'D TRIED.

NOW YOU HAVE A SMALL WINDOW
FOR A SECOND CHANCE.

TRY.

IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT.

YOU CAN DO IT, PAYDEN!

CLIMB THE WALL.

THEY HAVE A POINT.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STAY
NEUTRAL THROUGH ALL OF THIS,

BECAUSE I AM YOUR BOSS
AND I AM COLIN'S SISTER,

BUT THE BOOK IS DONE NOW,

AND I JUST WATCHED MY BROTHER
WALK OUT OF HERE,

LOOKING FORLORN
WHEN HE SHOULD BE HAPPY,

SO I'M GONNA BE BLUNT.

DO YOU WANT TO BE WITH COLIN
OR NOT?

YEAH, I DO.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU
STILL DOING HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

BLUE DIAMOND AIR.

FLIGHT 725, DEPARTS AT 9:30.

SO YOU'D BE OKAY
WITH ME JUST LEAVING HERE?

THERE'S A BIG PART OF ME
THAT IS NOT HAPPY

YOU TWO DID NOT
SORT THIS OUT SOONER

SO THAT I'M NOT STUCK
IN THIS SITUATION,

BUT THERE'S BIGGER PART

THAT WANTS YOU TO JUST TO GO
AND GET HIM ALREADY.

AND YOU'RE GOOD WITH ME
DATING YOUR BROTHER?

I AM NOW THAT THE BOOK'S
PUBLISHED, YES.

AND I ALSO HAVE A FEELING

THE NEXT ONE
IS GONNA BE EVEN BETTER.

THANKS, DIANA.

GO MAKE COLIN HAPPY,
AND I WILL SORT OUT THIS MESS.

ONE-WAY TICKET
TO AUCKLAND ON FLIGHT 725...

IS BOOKED.

OH, MY GOSH.

I HAVE LITERALLY WRITTEN
THIS SCENE SO MANY TIMES.

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE
THE ONE RUNNING TO THE AIRPORT!

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING I NEED.

I DON'T HAVE
A CHANGE OF CLOTHES.

I DON'T HAVE
A TOOTHBRUSH.

- I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT SHOES.
- WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S MY PURSE.

AND THIS?

MY WALLET.

OH...

OKAY, IT'S MY CREDIT CARD.

I UNDERSTAND
WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

JO, IT'S NOT THE MOON.
YOU'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE.

A REAL ONE.

I AM, AREN'T I?

YEP.

THANK YOU, GUYS.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME
CLIMB THAT WALL.

LOVE YOU GUYS.

- LOVE YOU.
- I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

BYE.

HOOYAH!

THAT'S STILL
REALLY CUTE, YOU GUYS.

HOOYAH.

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME, SORRY.

OH, GREAT.

HI.

HI. WAIT. WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

DON'T YOU HAVE
A FLIGHT TO CATCH?

DON'T YOU HAVE
A BOOK-SIGNING?

COLIN, I READ WHAT YOU WROTE.
I COULDN'T STAY.

YOU'RE ON MY TEAM.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU GO.

I SHOULD'VE MADE SURE
YOU WERE BY MY SIDE.

I'M SO SORRY.

DON'T APOLOGIZE.

WHEN YOU BOND WITH SOMEONE...

YOU NEVER LEAVE THEM BEHIND,

AND I NEARLY DID.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR PLANS?

SEALS KNOW
THAT YOU CAN PLAN ALL YOU WANT,

BUT ONCE THE BOOTS
HIT THE GROUND,

EVERYTHING FLIES OUT THE WINDOW.

YOU GOTTA ADAPT
TO THE NEW SITUATION.

I WAS HEADING TO THE AIRPORT,

AND ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT

WAS HOW MUCH I WISHED
THAT YOU WERE WITH ME.

SO I'M CHANGING MY PLANS.

I COULDN'T LEAVE WITHOUT YOU.

WELL, MY PLANS HAVE KIND OF
CHANGED A LITTLE BIT, TOO.

UM...

I HAVE A TICKET

TO NEW ZEALAND.

REALLY?

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH.

I'M SO SURE.

I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT
I TRAVELED INTERNATIONALLY.

YES.

AND FELL IN LOVE.

YEAH.

LET'S DO THIS!

YEAH! OKAY.

ON THREE...

TWO...

ONE...

AND SO,
THEY WALKED AWAY TOGETHER,

REUNITED AS A TEAM,

WITH A SHARED SENSE OF PURPOSE,

AS THEY EMBARKED ON
THEIR GREATEST ADVENTURE EVER...

TRUE LOVE.
