[women laughing]

Marley, that was amazing.

You did it again.

Okay, next time I'm cooking.

Who fancies waffles?

[laughing]

Oh, please. I'm sure whatever you cook

Grant thinks is out of this world.

He's so sweet.

Why can't we find a guy like that?

Well, for one thing,

all the guys in my line of work are already taken.

Such is the life of a proposal planner.

Speaking of which, Lara, did you see Marley's

latest proposal video on YouTube?

I think it has over three million views.

Yes, I love the part at the beginning.

The look on her face.

He had to move in closer because she just froze in shock.

[all laughing]

Now, if only I could see my sis in a video like that.

I'm not looking!

When it's my time.

You have to make time.

You're so focused on creating romance for others

that you're not even invested in your own love life!

Well...

What's that reaction?

Look at Lara!

What?

She wasn't looking!

And Grant is completely besotted with her.

Our dogs ran into each other at the dog park,

their leashes got twisted and the rest is history.

Yeah. Exactly.

This last year has been...

I can't even describe it.

I love this.

What?

Just us, here, after all this time.

[Marley] Cheers.

[Lara and Tanya] Cheers!

♪♪♪

Morning, Courtney.

You wanted to see me?

Another great job, Marley.

But if the rumors are true,

it's one of your last with Premier Engagements?

I know Big Picture Proposals

have contacted you with an offer.

Well, I haven't really had time to consider it.

And I... I wouldn't just--

I think you're ready for partnership.

We both know... I can't afford to lose you.

And, as your next job is going to be your toughest,

well, if you can pull it off,

there's no one I would rather go into business with.

Yes! I'm ready.

I mean, I... I think that I'm ready.

Thank you, Courtney. I'm so excited.

I already have so many ideas...

Wait, why is it gonna be so tough?

For one, you don't have much time.

And your client should be here any minute.

Grant?

Hey, Marley. [laughs]

Hey! What are you doing here?

Are you my next client?

[laughs] Yeah.

[squeals] Oh! Amazing!

Lara is gonna flip!

I can't believe it.

We were just having dinner last night.

You're her best friend, Marley.

And I know you're the only one for the job.

[laughs]

You gotta help me out.

I have no clue what I'm doing.

Okay. My boss says we need to speed it along?

Well, our first anniversary is coming up

and I know I'm not the most romantic guy,

but I want to do it before then.

She'll never expect it.

I don't want to wait to start the rest of our lives together.

Aw, that's really beautiful.

So do you have any ideas?

Every time I come up with something...

I panic, you know?

She's been planning her perfect wedding

since she was a little girl.

Yeah.

How do I live up to that?

I don't want to let her down.

Huh.

Uh... hm.

Okay. What about recreating a childhood dream?

Go back to the farm she grew up on

in Ohio before she moved here as a teen.

Something personal. Sentimental.

[laughs]

- That's awesome! - Yeah?

Oh, I love it! [laughing]

Please, can you do that for me?

I promise I'll do everything I can

to make this the best proposal ever.

And together we'll create something better

than she could have ever imagined.

So you better find that perfect ring while I go back

to Little Brook to set everything up.

We don't have time to lose!

Okay, yes.

[chuckles]

Oh, it certainly is!

What brings you here? Is your mom with you?

No, no, she's in L.A.

Stuck into her next big building development.

Always the overachiever, just like you.

Aw, your Nana Patti would be so proud.

Thank you.

Mom sends her love.

But I'm actually here for work.

Oh, well, I don't think there's much

I took a bit of a career detour.

Oh! That sounds exciting.

I can't wait to hear all about it.

But, first, you look hungry.

What can I get you?

I've been craving

one of your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

On French toast?

With a lime soda on the side, please,

for take-out.

What a day!

It'll just be a second!

PBJ on French toast and a lime soda!

- Thank you. - That's me.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Curt here put his order in first.

Who would've have thought, what are the chances?

Same order, same time.

You chose this, too?

Yes, yes I did.

I guess we both have great taste in food.

Well, I have been told I have a very refined palate.

[laughs]

Please, no, you take it. I can wait.

Oh, no. That's very sweet of you

but I'm not going to steal your food.

No, no, no. I insist.

It's how my mom raised me.

Okay.

Good mom.

Thank you, um...?

Oh, it's Curt.

Curt. I'm Marley.

So what brings you to Little Brook?

Is it that obvious I'm from out of town?

You tend to know everyone from here.

It's not exactly a tourist hot spot.

Well, I used to come to Little Brook as a kid.

My grandparents lived here nearly 20 years ago.

They would take me to this café all the time.

Yvonne and her husband, Peter, are close friends.

More like family. [giggles]

So I'm staying at the Little Brook hotel

while I take a trip down memory lane.

You are not! You are staying with us.

Besides, it's our turn to host.

Are you sure? I just showed up.

Of course, it would be our pleasure.

You remember the way?

Uh huh. Thank you.

Well, I better get going 'cause I have a sandwich to eat. So...

Enjoy.

So good. Totally worth the wait.

So I'll be seeing you around?

Yeah, if all goes well, then you'll be seeing me around.

Miss Marley Kennedy!

Oh! Yvonne told me the good news.

Oh, it's been far too long!

[chuckles] Oh, well, nearly six years, actually.

I moved back to Chicago after college... for work.

Oh, yeah, Yvonne said that you're here on business.

I hope that doesn't mean we won't be seeing much of you.

What are you up to?

I plan proposals, engagements.

I'm actually planning one

at Lara Ashcroft's old family home.

Oh, the Richards' new residence.

New?

Well, Mr. Richards' senior

bought it from the Ashcrofts about 15 years ago

when they made the switch to city living

and went to move into your neighborhood.

And the Richards are still considered

new blood around here.

Really?

[chuckles] No. I'm joking.

We're not that antiquated.

But it is run by his son, Richards Junior now.

Hey, how is Lara?

Last time I saw her she was all braids and braces.

She's good. Of course she has no idea I'm here.

Okay. Well, let's get you settled in and uh...

you can start your planning.

[chuckles] Okay.

I'm so sorry we have to reschedule our lunch date.

Can you do it next week?

Of course. But you work too hard.

To give you so little time to prepare seems unfair.

Oh, my client loves his girlfriend so much

he didn't want to wait.

He sent me packing across the country straight away.

Where are you?

Um...

Seattle.

Yeah, just livin' it up in Emerald City.

Oh, I'm so jealous.

I've always wanted to go.

I promise I'll make it up to you next week.

Looking forward to it. Good luck!

Thanks.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, the coincidences keep happening.

Next you're gonna tell me your birthday's

Well, there's no better birthday than Valentine's Day.

No way.

Oh! So, how can I help you?

Well, you hold the key to making one girl very happy.

Go on.

I'm an event planner.

And I would love to use your beautiful orchard

for a proposal.

I have a very important client with a generous budget,

with a location fee, who would like to ask--

Uh, Ms. Marley, isn't it?

Yeah, Curt.

I'm going to have to stop you there,

as unfortunately I can't help you.

It's not possible to have the proposal here.

It's harvest season,

apples are almost ready and I can't afford any distractions.

Okay, well, let me explain.

You won't have to stop working.

I will be completely out of your way.

You won't have to do a thing

and it's only for a week.

I'm sorry you came all this way.

It's just... not the right time.

Yeah.

He wouldn't even be open to talking about it.

I get it, his farm is important.

But this is about a couple's future happiness.

I mean, it's okay for him.

He's clearly shacked up with his wife or girlfriend

or whatever, so why would he care about anyone else?

Okay, well, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

Of course it was, Tanya!

If you saw this place, it's... it's beautiful.

And it's the farm where Lara grew up.

It will mean everything to her, you know that.

Okay, well, just give him the night to sleep on it.

And if the answer is still no,

then you'll come up with a better plan.

This is what you do.

I have seven days!

Seven, okay?

This ruins everything!

Okay, well, just calm down,

take a breath and come up with a plan.

Okay?

[Rachel]Are you crazy? What were you thinking?

That we need to save the farm?

I mean, you heard the call.

The bank is not going to give us another extension.

If we knuckle down we can make up for last year.

Don't be so proud.

It's the exact financial help we need.

Someone's looking out for us.

Dad would want us to follow what he taught us.

Hard work pays off.

And Dad would want you to put your emotions aside

and think rationally.

You're not letting him down

by getting a little extra help.

This is literally the nature of the business.

Listen, we need the money...

and it doesn't matter how we get it.

We can't afford help to pick the apples

and even if we could

who's going to buy enough

to clear our debts?

Everything's gonna be fine.

Trust me.

All I need from you, Rachel,

is just a little bit of positivity.

The trees can sense it.

[laughing]

The trees can sense it?

Yeah, you gotta talk to them.

[Rachel chuckles]

Don't bring those negative vibes.

Here. A little local hot cider should cheer you up.

You know,

I just don't think that a proposal

at his place is something

that he wants right now.

But why?

Does he have something against two people

promising to spend the rest

of their lives together?

If I could just explain to him

how important this proposal is.

You know, I'm not feeling too great.

I think I need a little lie down.

Uh, Marley, if you're not

doing anything later,

would you help me out?

Are you okay?

[Peter] Can I get you something?

No, no. I'm fine.

Nothing a little rest won't fix.

No, I... I promised that I would

And I just don't really

feel up to it.

I wonder if you would go instead?

Oh, I don't know the first thing about cider.

Fancy your chances?

That depends.

Have you changed your mind

on the proposal?

[chuckles]

Last chance.

You sure you don't want to hear me out?

It seems kind of strange to me.

If guys need you to help them propose then...

maybe they're not really ready to get married?

So you just don't get it all.

Uh...

Good luck to you, Curt.

I have a proposal to plan. [laughs]

Good shot.

apples thrown at their head all morning.

Well, this is my "I told you so" face.

requesting a large purchase order

for the end of next week.

How big?

Five thousand.

Pff! As if!

I asked them for an extension, they said no.

But we can do this, Rachel.

It's not going to be easy but we can do it.

Let's hope the apples ripen in time.

Maybe more of your positive vibes.

You need to work on your positive vibes.

We'll see. We'll see.

[Peter] It's not all lost, Miss Marley.

You just have to change your plans.

Precisely!

Just think of it as a hidden blessing.

As your Nana Patti used to say,

"Challenges are just life's way of

pushing you toward change."

You both didn't happen to know

Curt would be there today, did you?

No.

Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.

I think it's time you move on

from your initial idea and open your eyes

to other possibilities.

You're right.

I've been trying to think about all the local places

Lara used to love as a child,

and I'm gonna go check some out tomorrow.

Maybe one will make a good venue.

There's the traditional merry-go-round near Town Hall.

And there's also the beautiful rose gardens nearby,

which would be very romantic.

It's all going to work out, Miss Marley.

I have no doubt.

I'm not.

I would say yes in a second

Then why not give it a chance?

Please, Curt. My client is really important.

He's proposing to my best friend and she actually

grew up on your farm before your family moved in.

The Ashcrofts?

Yeah, Lara.

Yeah, she has such amazing memories,

playing in the yard with her mom and...

Well, I just thought if she got engaged there

it would be a way of having her mom with her, too.

Her mother?

Yeah, she passed away.

You see, that's why it's so important.

There's no place else in the world

that would mean as much.

Look, maybe you could show me what you're thinking,

Oh, please.

And you will be paid very well for the inconvenience.

This seems very important to your friends and to you so...

who am I to stand in the way of true love?

I can't wait to get started.

Great.

Why don't you tell me

a little bit more about it at the farm?

Kids?

Yeah, I'm a youth group leader.

Hmm, that's really cute.

come down from their excitement yet,

throwing apples my way at the farmer's market.

They did seem very pleased with themselves.

Eleven, twelve, thirteen.

So how's the harvest going?

Ah, it's not at the moment.

Annoyingly, the crop is not ready yet.

Probably a day or two, then it'll be ready and

then it's gonna be all hands on deck.

There's a reason I've kept Curt out of the kitchen

all these years 'cause I've tasted his food.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

Uh huh!

No, it's actually really, really terrible.

[Marley] Oh, God.

- [Curt] I can still hear you! - [laughing]

Whoa!

Okay, please stop.

What did that carrot ever do to you?

[laughing] It's a carrot, not a tree!

- Okay, gentle? - Gentle... slowly...

Uh huh.

[giggles] That's better.

Okay.

I'm really loving my visit here.

Just being here, all these memories keep flooding back.

Like?

I keep picturing this cute, little bakery.

It had like a bicycle on the wall

and they made the best cookies ever!

Angelo's!

Yeah, he's still here...

and the bike.

No way!

It's not like where I come from.

In the city, the main street looks different each year.

And the staff.

You're anonymous, which is kinda cool but...

I don't know,

here it just kind of feels like everywhere is home.

So you're really a country girl at heart.

Okay, so now put the veggies in the bowl.

Okay.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

And do you have any loquats?

Loquats? What, are my apples not good enough for you?

No, it's to mix with the apples.

To bring out the flavor even more.

Trust me. My turkey stuffing is the very best

and that's my secret weapon.

Well, actually, I just picked

some up at the market the other day.

They're just in the pantry.

- I'm gonna go get them. - Okay.

I need aluminum.

Maybe...

Ah, here they are. Loquats coming in.

- Awesome. - Right there.

- You just chop them up. - Uh huh.

And you just add them.

Secret recipe, huh?

[chuckles]

Marley, you saved dinner.

It was a team effort.

[laughs]

Mmm.

I'm loving this cider. Where's it from?

Yeah, Curt, where's it from?

It's one of mine.

What? Really? It's amazing.

Cider number two.

Oh!

Fresh Off the Press.

I am so sorry.

I... I didn't know what I was doing.

I am not an expert.

This one is way better than the other one.

There's no need to apologize.

It's just... it's what you prefer.

Wait. You produce your own cider on the farm?

Well, it's still a hobby,

but I've wanted

to turn it into a cider production house for years.

What stopped you?

After a bad harvest,

you know, a couple of bad years,

it's just never been the right time.

Money's tight and the start-up capital's huge.

But soon.

I was hoping that an award

from a competition would give us the recognition

to kick-start it all,

but obviously the product isn't ready...

Well, I believe everything happens for a reason.

Maybe.

You should show her some of your other samples.

Yeah, I... I'd really like that.

Okay.

It's so cozy in here.

Thanks.

It's where the farm hands used to stay

during harvest season, but it's been empty

for a couple of years,

so it's kind of my little playpen.

Do you make all your ciders in here?

Uh hm. It's simple but it works.

Boil the fruit and your apples in here

and then when it's soft you mash it in the sieve...

And then... pour it through the funnel.

So there's no app on your phone

to do all this prep work for you?

I had to use my phone

to turn off my stove back home 'cause my sister

accidentally left it on when she went to work.

Well, you could use your phone to mash up the fruit

but I don't find that to be very cost effective.

No.

[chuckles] And then the next step

is you add the spices, the sugar, the honey,

any other ingredients to make a unique recipe.

That's the fun part but also the tough part.

And then you just let it cool and you got homemade cider.

[laughing] Well, it smells delicious in here.

It's one of these incredible drinks.

It's just so fresh, you instantly taste summer.

And then in winter when you warm it up it's like...

I don't know, it's like being wrapped up

in this really warm blanket, you know?

It's the most animated I've seen you.

Yeah, well, I'm pretty proud of this one.

- You want me to try it? - Mm hm. Give it a try.

[Marley laughs]

You could really make it as a drinks company.

This is fantastic.

Just for curiosity's sake, why did you choose number three?

And you can be honest.

I don't know.

Uh... the label maybe?

I don't know.

I'm not a professional, just ignore me.

No, that was the point of not having a professional panel.

We wanted to get potential customers' opinions.

Okay, so then, if I was to judge

purely on taste, yours would have won hands down.

But it's not just about the drink.

It's about how it makes you feel.

And, as somebody who doesn't know you,

what do I get from your brand?

Hm. Is that why you picked Kind Tree Orchard,

because of the name?

I think yours doesn't show us

what's so special about your cider.

It's family, it's local.

I want to see that.

Interesting.

I hope my vote hasn't stopped you from pushing ahead.

Not at all.

It's good to get it out there

and get a little feedback.

So do you, um...

your clients, do they ever invite you

to their weddings?

Sometimes but I... I never go.

Why?

I don't know anyone apart from the groom and...

Well, I don't have anyone to go with, so it's not much fun.

No boyfriend?

No.

Me too. No boyfriend.

Or girlfriend.

Oh.

[chuckling]

I guess your job, it might scare some guys away?

There's a lot of pressure to pull off a perfect proposal.

Not if he knows me.

I don't think you can ever know someone.

And that's the point, right?

Spending the rest of your life getting to know them?

Yeah. Um...

I should be getting home

because it's another long day tomorrow.

Yeah, I can drive you over.

And that concludes the tour of the cider factory.

No, I am not smiling!

You are making something out of nothing, okay?

Curt and I are just friends.

He's been really helpful with the proposal.

It's time. [chuckles]

Busy morning?

Oh!

Yeah, I had the furniture delivered this morning

and now I'm getting to placing the smaller

more personal details.

How's it going with you?

Uh, row one is done.

It's amazing.

So where are the others?

Others?

Apple pickers?

Oh, it's... just me.

Wait, you're gonna do the whole farm?

Yes, ma'am.

I... I was just checking on you

before I got back out there

to see if you needed anything.

I got a big order I'm trying to hit here.

Okay. Where do you need me?

Oh, no, no. I wasn't asking--

I know, I'm offering.

I appreciate it, but you don't need to do that.

Well, it's not entirely selfless.

Once we can get a couple of rows cleared they'll be ready

for dressing for fairy lights on proposal day.

You see?

[chuckles] If you put it like that.

Come on.

Summers with my grandparents were the best.

I just loved getting out in the fresh air.

You know, my kids would have to grow up in the country.

How could they not when there's all this to play in?

Sounds like you had an idyllic childhood.

Pretty much, yeah.

My parents were kind of like textbook happy family.

And my pop told my mom every morning

at breakfast how beautiful she looked.

That's adorable.

Yeah, that's what I want.

To look at my wife in 20 years

and feel like the luckiest guy alive.

You could use the basket as a bucket

if you feel like you need to be sick.

Oh, no!

No I... I love it.

Uh, my parents separated when I was little.

Oh, sorry.

It was a long time ago.

My... my mom is a top property developer.

And she always has these exciting

new projects but they take up a lot of time and energy.

I mean, she always put me and my sister first.

Just not sure how much time that left for my dad.

That must have been tough.

Different.

But I really want to make sure that I put family first

and just experience that everlasting love.

Doing my job, I see it all the time.

Which reminds me, that scavenger hunt you did the other day,

that gave me such a great idea for Grant and Lara.

You want to incorporate that into their proposal?

Yeah, I think it'd be cute.

Just handwritten notes hidden around the property.

Oh! Another basket full!

Good team work! [chuckles]

I want to show you something.

I got some pretty awesome spots for your scavenger hunt.

- Come on. - Okay.

So that's our tree swing.

And over there by the fence, that's where the land ends.

Come here. Come here.

Here you go.

Oh, that's my hand, Dust.

There you go.

[chuckles] I've got a feeling I'm not in Chicago anymore.

I swear, if anyone proposed to me here,

literally anyone, I would say yes.

Surrounded by a quartet and fireworks?

No, that's not what I would want.

Just something intimate and private.

Just a perfect authentic moment.

You should probably know that I've already proposed once.

Although, obviously, I didn't get it right...

or we'd still be engaged.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. No, it was... it was never going to work out.

I think I was just in a rush to find my "one".

And there was some pretty obvious signs

that we were on completely different pages.

Is that why you said no initially?

Yeah, it made it easier to turn you away.

Just a painful reminder

that getting down one on knee doesn't...

doesn't always lead to happily ever after.

Thank you for changing your mind.

You're pretty convincing.

And don't worry about it.

It was a long time ago.

We're still friends.

I guess we just... we didn't have

what it takes to get through the tough times.

Well, I think that going through tough times

as a couple would only bring you closer.

And then when you ride the highs,

you got there together.

Right.

And for what it's worth, there's no wrong way to propose.

It's all about the intention.

Um, I need to be heading to the florist,

so maybe we should get back.

Sure, yeah, I'll drive you to town.

No, you have to stay here for the apples.

No, the western field, it's still not ripe

and I'll just be sat around waiting.

And your car?

Oh, right. Sorry.

Oh no, it's not a big deal.

I, uh... I gotta go into town

and get some groceries anyway.

- Sure? - Yeah.

[Marley] Do you know her?

Yeah. Everyone knows everyone around here.

Sacha's been really understanding that I picked

your place for the proposal and super helpful with the flowers.

Whenever I think the world is a dark place

I just look at a flower

and everything's right again.

What about the daisies?

They'd go with the rustic barn look.

Are you trying to take my job?

I would have gone for the same.

Don't be so surprised.

I've got a creative, sensitive side, too.

Well, most guys wouldn't want to admit that.

They need to look tough.

Maybe I'm not like most guys you've met before.

You're definitely not like most women I've met.

I'm not sure how to take that.

No, that's supposed to be a compliment.

Oh.

Um, I'm going to go put the, um...

the order in.

Okay.

And then we can go back to work.

Great.

Now, this is the Patti and Jack special.

Every time they would come into the café

they would order my pork chops and cabbage.

Aw. Patti always wanted to know

the secret recipe to my gravy, but...

Cider vinegar!

[gasps] Peter!

No, it was a secret!

[laughing]

Not anymore.

[chuckles]

Peter, how did you propose to Yvonne?

Well, I met this beautiful, gregarious woman

when she worked at the café.

I knew right away that she was the one for me.

So my strategy, I was going to sit there

and complain about my food so that she would always

have to be coming over to me all the time.

And so when I asked her out, guess what she said?

No. She said no.

[laughing]

So she needed a little bit more convincing.

So one day I went in there

and I asked the waitress to go back and tell Yvonne

that somebody was out front complaining about the food.

So Yvonne came storming out and smoke coming out of her ears

and there I was in front of everyone down on one knee.

Well, I couldn't handle my emotions.

I went from anger to shock to tears of joy.

Simple but effective.

Now, I noticed that you two have been

working very well together.

Yeah. Yes, Curt has been great.

You know, marriage is about...

Teamwork.

Yeah,

it's like finding the other half that--

You never knew you needed.

Yeah.

And that is a very rare thing.

Can you imagine being married for 30 years?

They're so happy.

You'd figure they'd run out of things to talk about.

But doesn't seem to be too much peace and quiet

around this house.

No. I'm gonna miss them.

You leave Sunday?

Yeah.

Gonna be sad to go.

I feel so relaxed here.

Like I'm enjoying my life instead of just living it.

You don't have to go.

I... I just mean there's jobs here.

People get engaged in Little Brook.

You'll be okay though?

Um, the farm?

Yeah, well you know, it's been challenging,

but um, we'll get there.

The proposal fee will save us.

So thank you for that.

And I told the distributor

we could meet half their order.

And the next year I'm just going to

save up to hire some staff

and be able to deliver the whole thing.

I wish there was more I could do to help.

Well, there is... there is one thing that you could do to help.

Of course.

This old farmer's tradition.

It's supposed to bring good luck for the harvest.

Um, just...

you take salt and then you put it on your arm

Okay. Here?

Yes, yeah.

A little bit more.

Yeah, that's good.

Okay.

And now rub it in?

You just watched the first bride

who's gonna have their wedding on your land drive off.

The orchard's perfect for ceremonies.

And the weddings would be mainly sporadic

on the weekends.

And it would give you extra money

to invest in the cider business.

Weddings?

She's been up all morning rallying the troops.

You know, there's been quite a few volunteers

from the youth group wanting to support you, Curt.

And even more on the way.

I don't know what to say.

Well, you could start by telling us where you need us!

This is exactly what we need.

Thank you, guys.

Well, we've got rows 5 through 20.

So maybe we can split everybody up into two teams.

One team can start at the back,

the other team can start here where I left off.

Right you are.

Okay, folks, come this way!

Thanks, guys.

Okay, so with this batch added to the others

that is a total of 5,256 and counting.

I can't believe that we did it.

That's enough for the supermarket

- and extras for cider. - Uh hm.

Rachel, what are you doing out? You okay?

I'm okay. I'm better than okay.

You're in the State Championships tomorrow.

What do you mean?

What do you think, silly?

The cider.

Two of the independent judges

weren't independent at all.

They're new employees from Country Orchards.

They've been disqualified.

You better have enough samples.

Phew! Okay!

- Wow. - Wow.

Yeah.

Hey, the stall looks great.

Thank you so much for your help.

I know Rachel would have wanted to be here,

but she was worried she'd be more of a hindrance than a help.

But I'm secretly thrilled

because I'm looking forward to taking home my award.

Yours?

Uh huh. Let's face it --

that cider is a definite winner thanks to my loquats.

That's true.

Oh, please, try some of our signature cider.

The label was created at home. No third-party marketers.

Curt's Country Cider is the real, authentic home brew.

That didn't look good.

It'll be fine.

I think it'll be fine.

Phew!

Okay, this isn't working, just standing here worrying.

When I get nervous before a proposal what

I like to do is play the predictive text game

and it completely distracts me.

That sounds dangerous.

I'm not sure what this is going to reveal about me,

but what do I have to do?

Take your phone and then open your notes up.

And write "If I could have one wish come true, it would be..."

And then you just keep hitting the first word predicted

until you make a sentence.

And then you say it out loud.

- You go first. - Okay.

If I could have one wish come true

it would be...

[laughs]

To not have it rain on the takeout tonight.

Ah! So you don't cook a lot?

I often work late, actually,

and I don't want it to rain on the proposals.

Okay. Here goes nothing.

If I could have one wish come true it would be

for this day to never end with... you.

That's really cute.

It is cute.

[chuckling]

Oh, oh, let's go.

So?

What happened?

Go on, tell her.

Unfortunately, Rachel,

I'm gonna need you to heal up that wrist of yours.

Because we have a lot more cider to make.

- We won the Championship! - [screams]

I don't how I'm gonna sleep tonight.

I feel like I'm in a dream.

I have to be honest.

When I saw that judge's face for a second,

just for a second, I didn't know if your chances were good.

I found this nervous-looking gentleman pacing the orchard.

Invited him in for some iced tea.

Grant! Hi!

Uh, bring it in.

Grant, by the way.

Curt.

Cool name.

I know I'm early but, uh I...

I couldn't sit around and... and wait any longer.

Yeah, no, it's okay, I have a job for you.

I need you to write down four special memories

you've shared with Lara on cards,

for a proposal scavenger hunt.

Oh!

Okay.

I can do that.

I think.

But only four?

How will I narrow it down?

[laughing]

Wait I... I can't think of any right now.

Okay, what's... what's going on?

I keep thinking over and over

about what I'm gonna say and I...

I come up with nothing.

In the moment you'll know.

Just speak from the heart.

And, if in doubt, a favorite is, "Will you marry me?"

[laughs] Now go inside and take your time and enjoy it.

I'm going to start the finishing touches on the barn.

- Okay? - Okay.

You got this, Grant!

Woo! [chuckling]

So why are you doing this again?

This is the most important part.

The cameras need to capture everything.

It's kind of weird that you're hiding them.

Well, you don't want them

to feel like they're being filmed,

but they're gonna keep this tape forever.

So they need to see everything.

So how many cameras do you need?

Um... I think four should do it.

Four?! [laughs]

I thought you were going to say one!

Curt, you have to see their faces

when they watch the tape.

Usually I work over night to edit it,

'cause the guy's really nervous

and the girl's overwhelmed

and it's all just a blur.

But then they get to watch it back the next day

and relive it as an engaged couple.

It's really sweet.

How's it looking?

Can you just stand, like, just somewhere in the middle?

- Right here? - Uh uh.

Better?

Yeah. Can you go down on one knee?

Pardon me?

Just... just go down on one knee.

I don't want his head to get caught off.

I'm just testing the camera angles.

- Okay. - So just--

Okay, yeah, right.

- Right here? - Uh hm.

And just give me your best proposal speech.

I'm sorry, what?

Just declare your undying love for...

that broomstick over there.

The broom... stick here?

Yeah.

Okay, um...

[clears throat] Uh... hah.

Broomstick, we've uh...

we've been together for a couple of years now

and I think it's time

we take our relationship to the next step.

- Is that enough? - No. Not at all.

Uh, can you be more convincing?

Yeah, I need to hear emotion in your voice.

I'm not sure that they mics are capturing the lower register.

Lower? Hmm! Yeah.

Lower, passion, yeah.

Okay. Um... [clears throat]

You've always been a... a great listener,

and you've always been there for me.

Broomstick, will you marry me?

[chuckling]

Oh, you...

Did you...?

Oh, come on!

Yeah, no. I didn't.

But you did a great job.

Great, thank you very much.

You really swept her away!

It's only right after your little salt trick.

You're very, very funny.

[laughs] And this is for when Lara walks towards Grant.

[Sacha] Hey, guys!

The order is ready!

Sacha.

The flowers. Um, right.

Thank you so much for bringing them over here.

I completely forgot.

Great!

Four memories for the scavenger hunt.

Okay, why don't I help Sacha unload the van

and you can help Grant with the clues.

Yeah, that would be a huge help. Okay.

- Shall we? - Yeah.

Okay.

I think there's a great spot right over here.

Yeah. Huh?

- Cute! - [phone rings]

Hold on.

Hey! Hey, Lara!

Hi.

How's it going?

[Lara]You were right.

I should have trusted my gut!

Grant and I are finished. It's over!

What... what are you talking about?

He's been distant, avoiding me.

He hasn't brought up our first anniversary in two days.

And then all of a sudden he has a work trip.

Doesn't talk to me about it.

Just tells me.

So I check with his office.

They check his calendar. He's down for vacation!

I mean, why wouldn't he just break up with me?

Uh, Lara...

I think you're jumping to conclusions.

Take a breath.

Grant loves you!

Okay... okay there's probably just something on his mind.

I think you should just wait to talk to him when he comes back.

Okay.

I'll call you later, okay?

Love you!

Love you too. Bye.

[sighs]

Oh, boy. Um...

It's fine.

It's fine! It's fine!

Yeah, it's okay.

This means so much, you doing this for me.

So um...

I'll call you later?

Yeah.

Uh...

Hey!

You're all done? That was fast.

No, actually.

Lara called wanting to break up with Grant.

- What? - Yeah. And now Grant's upset

because he wants to call her back,

but he can't do that.

You want me to go talk to him?

Maybe just calm him down?

Yeah, I'll distract him

with a tour of my cider set-up.

That would be perfect.

I'll help get these into the barn

and then I'll come check on you both.

- Great. - Okay.

- Hey, Sacha. - Hi!

[Marley exhales]

Are you sure I can't call her?

You know, just make her feel better?

It's too risky.

You're gonna let slip that you know she's upset

and that can only mean that you're with me.

Look, just text her tonight

and tell her work's nearly done and that you love her.

And I promise you this will all be forgotten by tomorrow.

Now just maybe go and get some rest?

So that we can both come here early

and make sure everything is perfect.

Wow.

That's really good.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Fine, I'll go check into my hotel.

Okay.

Yeah.

Mm! Oof!

That's amazing. It's amazing.

You're amazing.

[chuckles] Poor guy.

If he wasn't nervous before, he will be now.

What if she's so mad that he put her all through this

when she sees him she's gonna say no?

I doubt it. This happens all the time.

Really?

Yeah. Usually I don't hear

directly from my soon-to-be fiancées.

But after they'll tell me

that their boyfriend avoided them for days

and played it so cool they just shut down.

Not the best way to behave

right before you're gonna ask someone to marry you.

Exactly. [chuckles]

You have to feel sorry for the guys.

It can't be easy handling all that pressure.

Right. Actually, that's how my dad acted

according to my mom.

He was so crazy

that she thought he'd gotten some really bad news.

So when he proposed she was relieved.

She thought that he'd lost his job

or was fired or something.

[chuckles]

So... tomorrow's the big day.

Yes. Yeah, I should probably get an early night.

- Right. - Yeah.

Well... so, good night.

Good... good night.

- To you. - And you.

Thank you.

Okay. [giggles]

- See you tomorrow. - Yep!

Nothing. You had nothing to say!

Aw, we wish you weren't leaving so soon.

I don't want to. I love it here.

No one's forcing you.

No, no, I have to get back my apartment

and my job and my friends.

Can't stay in this bubble forever.

Can't or too afraid?

Afraid of what?

Miss Marley, I'm an old man.

I've been around the block a few times.

And the only thing I ever regretted

were the things I didn't do.

Tell him how you feel.

This isn't about Curt.

[laughs] I love this town, too, Miss Marley.

But even I know it's not all that.

It's the people you fall in love with.

And, sorry, I'm already taken.

You sure are.

Oh, Marley, don't you deserve your happily-ever-after, too?

Curt and I are just friends.

If he felt anything for me,

he had plenty of opportunity to tell me.

Maybe he's held back because he knows that you're the one

who has to choose between him and the life you left behind.

He doesn't want to put you in that position.

And, no matter what the reason,

when he looks at you, that's a man clearly in love.

I... I don't know.

Maybe he's still hurting from breaking up with his ex-fiancée

and isn't ready for something serious?

I... I can't stop my whole life and wait for him

to decide if he could go through that again.

Don't worry about Sacha.

There's no feelings there.

Oh, that's long in the past for him.

Wait, Sacha? Sacha is his ex?

Oh, you didn't know.

No.

Well, I... I guess Curt didn't want to mention it

because he's moved on, he's moved on completely!

I mean, if he hadn't why would he let you host

a proposal in the place where he got engaged?

'Cause... 'cause it means nothing to him.

He proposed on the farm?

Oh man, my big mouth!

Look, you should stop talking to me

and you should start talking to him before it's too late.

Otherwise, you will always wonder what if...?

I know things have been awkward

so I'm really happy to be able to finally talk.

Yeah. Me too.

[exhales sharply] Okay.

You got this.

So, I heard Sacha is your ex and I was wondering

if you guys were like friends or more, because...

Well, I think that you and I, um...

Are we more than...?

Ahh, Marley, you sound desperate. Get a grip.

She's gonna love these.

Well, I mean, she's one lucky girl.

And it's good to see you happy.

You know, I always wanted that for you.

And I think I always knew deep down

that I could never be the one to truly do that.

Anyway, I'm gonna head out so I'll see you around.

♪♪♪

Thanks, Sacha.

Take care. And thank you so much for arranging this.

I really hope she likes them.

It's nothing.

[exhales]

So...

what do you think?

Fiancé material.

Hey.

Marley, I wanted to talk about this--

Yeah. I have the location money here.

I nearly forgot. It's all there.

I don't need this, I can't--

Please, just take it.

It's what we discussed.

- Marley! - Curt!

Just the guy I wanted to speak to.

Your sister told me about your award.

Congratulations.

I was going to tell you this before, but uh,

my brother, he's actually a drinks distributor.

And I was just on the phone with him

and I was telling him how good your cider was.

It's really good.

Well, thank you.

Now, anyway, I'd love to get you guys in touch

and you can chat

and maybe he can help put you in stores

around the country.

Wow, thank you.

Yeah, I'll definitely give him a call.

Um, break a leg tonight.

Thanks.

See ya.

Beverages and drinks...

Hm.

Okay!

Would you like to tell me what is going on

and why we have driven three hours for a spa?

I promise you, it will really be worth the wait.

Tanya, you're acting so strange!

Wait.

Why are we here?

Is this where the spa is?

I think it's getting a little late for a spa, don't you?

Tanya?

This is where I leave you!

This is perfect.

I love you.

That was amazing.

Yeah, they make a beautiful couple.

You made today very special for them.

Well, thanks to you for allowing the proposal

in a place that means so much to Lara.

I should go congratulate them.

Marley! I can't believe this!

Congratulations, you guys.

I'm thrilled for you.

My best friend and my fiancé.

Oh it's so weird, "my fiancé." [giggles]

Oh, did you do this?

Well, Grant wanted this perfect proposal for you

and needed my help to set it up while he was with you back home.

It was really hard for us both to keep this a secret.

I was so hard on him.

Well, maybe you can forgive him.

I'm gonna let you guys have some alone time.

Enjoy your night.

Thank you.

Look at that.

I love it.

[crickets chirping]

You're not leaving yet?

My job is done.

The lovebirds don't need me hanging around

in the background.

Without saying goodbye?

Did I do something to upset you?

No! No.

Just time for me to leave.

Look, we both got what we wanted.

The proposal went perfectly

and you got your farm back, the cider business and the girl.

The girl?

Yeah. Your ex. Sacha?

You never mentioned she was your ex-fiancée.

I didn't think that was relevant.

Was this all just a game to make her jealous?

You said yes to the farm

when I was going to use her land.

I get it.

It's a good incentive to teach her a lesson

and remind of her of your proposal

and everything she's missing out on.

You've got this all wrong, Marley.

I said yes because I could see how much it meant to you.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Sacha was my ex but...

it was never to deceive you.

I just didn't want you thinking

that I still had feelings for her.

She's just a friend.

Since you showed up...

you're all I can think about.

Let me prove it. Come with me.

Please.

I needed a very special flower delivery.

And only Sacha could pull it off last-minute.

Stay here with me

And be a wedding planner but...

here.

Curt, I am so sorry. I had the wrong idea.

Well, I hope all of this shows you how I feel.

You do so much for other people.

Now it's your turn.

So what do you say?

It's a very interesting proposal but...

I have to think about it.

You have to think about it, huh?

- Yeah. - Uh huh?

Yeah. [chuckles]

Well, maybe I can help you make up your mind over dinner.

May I present to you two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

on French toast... with lime soda.

cookies from your favorite bakery.
