[Mel] Hey.
[Jack] Hey.
Ricky said I'd find you out here.
Well, he's a great kid, but not so good at keeping a secret.
Oh, I'm sorry. Do you wanna be alone?
Nah, it's okay.
Are you sure?
I can go.
-No. -Oh.
I thought you'd be getting ready for the picnic tomorrow.
Well, maybe later.
I haven't seen you around in a couple days.
Aw, just...
trying to sort some stuff out.
Yeah.
Having twins is a big deal.
Yeah.
What am I gonna do?
What if I screw everything up?
You know, I promised Charmaine that I would support her no matter what.
And I will, but I'm starting to realize
I have no idea what that actually looks like.
Does she?
I'm pretty sure she wants us to live together.
And if I agree to that,
then she's gonna think that we might have a future together.
And knowing how I feel,
it just doesn't seem fair to give her a false sense of hope.
But now that we got...
twins, I mean,
it's gonna take twice the manpower to take care of them.
I know I can't do it on my own, so...
Ugh. Man, if I... If I want a shot
at actually showing up for my kids, then...
I don't see how we can't live together.
You know you live in a community that comes together when people need help.
So you're not gonna be alone.
You just need to learn how to ask for help.
[sighs] Yeah.
Thanks.
So I'd ask if the fish are biting,
but I'm assuming that the pole needs to be in the water.
No, technically speaking, that's a rod.
-Oh, the rod. -Mm-hmm.
[clears throat] At least I didn't say a stick thingy.
Shouldn't it be in the water?
Yeah, at some point. That's generally how it works.
It's supposed to be relaxing, right?
Well, yeah, there's nothing better.
What, you want to have a go?
-Yeah. -All right.
I can show you.
Huh.
Okay, so you take the rod.
The rod, yes.
First thing you do, you want to take this thing off here.
All right? And that's gonna let the line run free.
-Okay? -Mm-hmm.
So give me your left hand.
-Right here. -Yeah.
You're gonna take your finger,
and you wanna hold the line against the rod here.
-Right there. Got it? -Yeah.
-Okay? -And then I just put my hand there.
-Yeah. -Okay.
Then bring it back-- Watch the tree.
Okay, and now you're gonna whip it forward towards the water.
-Right. Okay. -That's where the fish are.
-Right. [laughs] -Okay?
And as soon as it's to the left of you,
you're gonna let go with your finger.
-Okay. -Okay?
You're good to go.
[water splashes]
-[Mel] Whoa! -Oh!
-Now you're fishing. -[laughing] I'm fishing!
-That was easy. -Yeah.
-Huh? -You know what this means, though, right?
What?
Well, if I can learn how to fish, then...
Oh... come on.
I think raising a couple of twins
is a little more challenging than casting a reel.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm sorry, are you minimizing my first fishing-related experience?
I wouldn't dream of it.
Better not.
You're feisty.
You wanna go again?
Yeah. Okay.
-[Jack] Take this guy off. -Take this off.
-[Jack] Oh, hold the line. -Oh, hold the line.
[Jack] Yeah, that's it.
[theme music playing]
Delivery!
-[Charmaine] Hi. -[Jack] Hey.
How did it go?
Well, tonight's special at the bar is trout, I'd say it was a success.
I got you chicken noodle soup and crackers.
-Thanks. -Yeah.
I tried calling you.
Yeah, well, reception's pretty spotty at the river.
You know that.
How you feeling?
Better.
Good.
Did you go alone?
Yeah, I did, and then, uh, Mel stopped by.
How thoughtful of her.
All right, I...
I don't want to play any games, so...
if there's something you want to say, just...
come out and say it.
Okay.
Are you and Mel dating?
No.
Are you sleeping with her?
I think it's better for everyone that we don't discuss Mel.
Did it happen while we were still together?
I'll pretend you didn't ask me that.
Okay, so you started having sex with her after we broke up.
[exhales]
We did.
Once.
Okay.
Charmaine, I don't want to hurt you,
which is exactly why I don't want to discuss my personal life.
You're right.
And thank you for being honest with me.
-I would never lie to you. -I know.
Well, I gotta help Preacher set up the grill for tomorrow.
Since I can't go to the picnic, do you think maybe afterwards
you can come over here and spend the night?
[sighs]
Just one night.
Look, I thought about it, okay?
-And? -And it's a bad idea.
Nothing's gonna happen, Jack.
I think it's important that we maintain certain boundaries
so there's no confusion about where we stand.
Okay.
I understand.
Good.
I'm glad we cleared that up.
[string instruments tuning]
[Doc] Whenever I watch musicians warming up,
I get all knotted up inside. [chuckles]
It's like I'm 13 again and preparing for a recital.
-[laughs] What instrument did you play? -Violin.
Oh!
[Doc] I wasn't very good.
My mother was the musical one in the family.
Flute, but she could play a little bit of everything.
She introduced me to all the masters: Bach, Mozart, Chopin.
[sighing]
Music, it got us through some pretty tough times.
-[Muriel] Mmm. -Do you want a program?
-[Muriel giggling] -[Doc] ...trailblazer.
You didn't happen to grab a program, did you?
Oh, I forgot my glasses.
Oh, that's okay. I'll help.
-Oh? -Yeah.
Here we go. We'll do it together.
Uh, "The Four Seasons.
Violin Concerto in E major..."
[Jo Ellen] Look at that.
I said look at that.
What? What am I looking at?
Doc is here with Muriel.
You know what that means.
Yeah. That Hope got out of this boring concert.
[playing "The Four Seasons"]
[song ends]
Are you guys closed?
Um... Hi. I was just about to head over to the picnic.
-You're Lizzie, right? -Yeah.
Hi, um, do you need something now, or can it wait till tomorrow?
I'd rather do it now.
Okay. No problem.
Anything I tell you is private, right? I'm 19, in case you're wondering.
Yes, anything that we talk about is completely confidential.
Good, because if my aunt knew why I was here,
her head would burst into flames.
[chuckles] Well, hopefully, that's an exaggeration.
It's not.
Yeah. Fair enough. Come on in.

[crowd cheering]
Welcome to the 33rd annual Virgin River Community picnic.
[cheers]
To all the first-timers in the crowd, thank you for joining us.
In keeping with tradition,
this event raises money for a Virgin River family in need.
The town has overwhelmingly decided that our friends, the Hamiltons,
will be the beneficiaries this year.
[cheers and applause]
They were hit hard by the storm last month and could use our help.
Don't forget to find your partner for the egg relay.
It's for all the marbles.
Now let the fun begin!
[cheers and applause]
[country music playing]
So, I heard Nancy and Charles are paired up.
Now we have got to practice.
We have it in the bag, just like every year.
Charles just had a double hip replacement.
Yeah. Now he's got the hips of a 40-year-old.
Nancy is a retired gymnast. Now come on.
I find it adorable you get so competitive about something so silly.
Look, we won this seven years in a row. It's a legacy. It's my legacy.
Fine. Give me a minute to make my rounds.
Okay. I'll meet you down by the river. Don't dawdle.
[Jo Ellen] Hope?
You and Doc seem very, um... friendly.
-Why wouldn't we be? -Well, I thought with the divorce...
Doesn't mean we're not friends.
Oh, I am so relieved to hear you say that.
Why?
Well, when I saw Muriel all over Doc at the Vivaldi concert,
I just felt terrible for you.
Those two were canoodling just like teenagers
all the way through the first concerto.
Canoodling?
You know.
No, Jo Ellen, I don't.
-Oh, Hope. You're not jealous, are you? -'Course not.
It's just that canoodling doesn't sound like Vernon.
Well, if you don't believe me, ask Nick.
He was right beside me.
Excuse me.
[food sizzling]
Preacher?
Did Paige leave you an extra key for the bakery truck?
-Just the one. Why? -[Connie groans]
Lizzie lost the key. I swear, that girl.
We're up and running, but I won't be able to close up.
You know, I think Paige might have a spare key at her house.
I'll go take a look for it when things slow down a bit here.
You're a sweetheart.
[Jack] Hey.
Thought maybe you'd changed your mind.
Uh... no.
No, I just had some business at the clinic I had to attend to.
Hey, Preach.
-Hey. Glad you could make it. -Thanks.
Is it just me, or are people staring at me?
Well, can you blame them? Look at that dress. You're a knockout.
It's not the dress.
Oh, it's the dress. Trust me. Right, Preach?
Is it the dress?
-Yeah. -It's the dress.
-You look nice. -[sighs]
Thank you.
No, I don't think that, you know, Ricky's grandmother is ogling my dress.
[Jack] Come on. Think you're being a little paranoid.
People around here are just a little friendlier than you're used to.
-Oh, people are friendly in LA. -Oh, really?
-That's a point you want to debate? -Mm-hmm.
Okay, go.
Really?
-I'm gonna go check in with Hope. -Yeah.
[Mel chuckles]
[Jack sighs]
You know you could just go over and talk to her.
I've... I've tried.
Every time I do, I just get tongue-tied.
Some girls think that's cute.
[laughs]
I don't want her to think I'm cute.
Oh, no, trust me, it's not a bad place to start.
Come on. Just be yourself.
I'll try.
-Go on. -Right after I finish this burger.
And so-- Oh. Thank you.
-Hey, Hope. Can I do anything for you? -Hi.
[gasps] Perfect timing.
It's impossible to find good help these days.
So, I need you to take the donations, log the amount, their name and email,
then put the money in one of these envelopes,
seal it, and place it in the lockbox.
Okay. Are you accepting checks or just cash?
Yes.
Okay.
-Hi. -Hi.
I would like to donate to the Hamilton fund.
-Do you take credit card? -You know what? Cash or check only.
-Sorry. -Right.
Oh, my gosh. I love your necklace.
Oh, thank you.
There's a little hole-in-the-wall vintage store in San Francisco
that specializes in Chanel.
Oh, that sounds like heaven.
Thanks.
Name's Jamie, by the way.
Jamie. Mel.
It's nice to meet you. Thanks for the donation.
Did you just move here or--
No, I own a restaurant in San Francisco,
and once a year, I spend a month somewhere remote to clear my head.
Um, you know what? You should go by Jack's Bar.
Their chef, Preacher, is insanely talented.
Hmm. A bar?
Oh, I know. I thought the same thing too.
But I swear, he's an undiscovered genius.
-I will try it. -Okay.
Is my hair, like, sticking up, or is my--
Nope. Hair's perfect.
[scoffs]
I don't get it.
[Jamie] Beats being invisible.
Sorry, I should let you go... -Okay.
-...but I hope to see you around. -Yeah.
Nice to meet you. Bye.
Excuse me, I'll just be a second.
Ah. Mel, dear.
-Hi, Jo Ellen. -How are you?
I'm doing great. How are you?
I am so proud of you for being here.
[laughing] You know I'm not the only person who volunteered.
Hmm.
You know, I just want you to know,
I'm on your side.
Okay.
Thank you.
If I see Hope, I'll tell her.
-Yes. Keep the change. -Thanks.
-[cell phone chimes] -Uh-oh.
Huh?
I gotta track down a bouncy castle? [groans]
-Man the truck. -Uh, you can't leave me here alone.
You're not alone.
There's a line of customers to keep you company.
You know what I mean.
Oh, it'll be fine. The ovens are loaded.
All you need to do is listen for the timer.
Aren't you breaking like a million labor laws?
You're not even paying me for this.
This is a charity event, which means we're all donating our time.
So quit whining, and don't burn the croissants.
-Hey! Did you get Steve's text about the-- -I'm on it.
Good. Oh, and have you seen Preacher? Jack's working the grill alone.
He had to run over to Paige's.
I swear it's like herding cats.
Why can't people just do the jobs they're assigned?
[laughs]
Oh, by the way. Doc's looking for you.
And I'm looking for somebody to help Jack.
Hey, there you go. Enjoy.
-Oh, hey, Lilly. -Hi.
-How you doing? -I am great, thank you.
Can I get you a burger or a hot dog?
You know what? I think I'm gonna have a burger.
All right, coming right up.
Where's Chloe?
Uh, she's in her stroller having a nap.
-Lydie's looking after her. -Yeah.
A nap sounds pretty good right about now.
Oh, I'm too excited to sleep.
Why's that?
I got an offer on my farm.
I didn't know you were selling.
I wasn't, but I got this really generous offer in cash.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
You're the first person to know.
We're not losing you, are we?
No, no, I'll just get a smaller place closer to town.
So who's moving in?
Emerald Lumber.
The buyer's a lumber company.
Yeah, yeah, apparently, they want to diversify their business.
You don't really have any trees on your property.
It's true, but Brady assured me
that they were gonna restore it to its former glory.
-Brady? -Yeah.
Yeah, he's representing the buyer.
You know, I was really nervous at first,
but since you and Brady are such good friends,
I figured it was like doing business with you.
So... wish me luck.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
-[laughs excitedly]
Hey, Ricky.
Hey, Mel.
Uh, this is from my grandmother and me.
She wrote a note to the Hamiltons.
She was wondering if you could include it in the donations.
I certainly will.
-Great, thanks. -Thanks.
Wait, Ricky. Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Um, so, people keep coming up to me saying they're on my side.
Do you know what that means?
Yeah, they mean they're on your side.
Yeah, but... my side in what? I...
Uh, ah...
I don't think I should be the person to tell--
Ricky, please. It's driving me crazy.
My grandma heard from her hairdresser in Clear River that...
that you, um...
you had sex with Jack to steal him away from Charmaine.
What?
Just so you know, okay, me and my grandma, we are totally Team Mel.
-All the way, one hundred percent. -You're Team Mel?
-Yeah. -Is there a Team Charmaine?
-Well, uh... -My God.
Ricky, are you telling me the entire town is talking about this?
-Probably not the entire town. -Oh, my God.
Uh, oh, I'm getting a call. I should probably take that, so...
It's not my dress.
-What? -There are teams, Jack.
Teams.
-For the egg relay. -Oh, no, for us.
There is a Team Charmaine and a Team Mel.
Yeah. Apparently, everybody thinks that we slept together.
We did sleep together.
No, but you and I are the only ones that know that, right?
Right?
-Jack? -Uh...
Oh, Jack.
Look, Charmaine asked me yesterday point-blank.
What was I gonna do, lie to her?
-Yesterday? -Yeah, when I got back from fishing.
[scoffs]
Wow, she must've been up all night working the phone.
She seemed okay with it.
-It's why I didn't tell you. -Yeah, she's obviously not okay with it.
-[laughs] Obviously. -It's not funny.
No, it's not funny.
-It's ridiculous. The whole thing. -I noticed there's no Team Jack.
I wouldn't care if there was. I'd be kind of flattered.
-Would you? -Yeah.
-I'm sorry. -Mm-hmm.
What can I do?
[sighs] Try muzzling your girlfriend.
Okay.
Come on, Paige, where are those keys?
[sighs] Okay.
[cell phone ringing]
[continues ringing]
[ringing stops]
[sighs]
[children laughing]
Hey. [chuckles]
-Hi. -Hi.
I wanted to thank you again for the concert.
It was a lovely evening.
-Well, it was, wasn't it? -Mm-hmm.
And... and by the way, have you seen Hope?
Yeah. Last time I saw her,
she was screaming at a group of children by a food truck.
[groans] She knows we're supposed to practice the egg relay,
but, oh, she can't be bothered.
Well, you are the team to beat.
Well, might not be this year.
You know, actually, I could use some tips.
Are you entering?
Yeah, if I can find a partner.
Well, looks like I might have the time.
Um, okay. First, we should talk about the transfer.
That's the most important part.
Okay, and what's that?
When I run to one end,
then I have to pass the egg from my spoon to yours.
Okay, could we try it? All right. -Yeah. Okay.
-So run, run, run, run... -Yeah.
And...
-Yeah. -I got it.
-[chuckles]
Thank you.
Where have you been?
-Working! -I've been waiting for you.
Vernon, this event isn't going to run itself. Hi, Muriel.
He was just showing me how to properly transfer an egg.
How enlightening.
Look. Now that you're here, we need to practice.
-Muriel, will you excuse us a moment? -Sure.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
You should do the egg relay with Muriel.
-What? -It's perfect. The entire town is here.
All eyes will be on the relay.
If you and Muriel are partners, people will think you two are a thing,
and no one will suspect we're back together.
No. No, absolutely not.
Come on. Just this one time.
Yeah, but her transfer is slow as molasses.
So what? It's just a game.
Not to me, it isn't.
[sighs]
[steam hissing]
Damn it.
[moans]
[Ricky] You need some help?
God. Yes. Do you know what to do?
Yeah, I do work at a bar. Remember?
Oh. Yeah.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
Hey, I'm taking a break. Cover for me.
-Uh, yeah. Sure. -Thanks.
Do you want to be my partner?
-What? -In the egg relay.
I don't know what that is.
It's a relay race where you have an egg and a spoon and...
I've just always wanted to do it, and I've never had a partner, so...
All right.
Okay. Great. I'll, uh, meet you by the stage.
[loud clattering]
I want a stuffed pony.
Hm.
[chuckles]
I'll, uh, take the stuffed pony.
There you are.
I'm Lizzie.
Brady.
Okay, everyone. The egg relay is about to start.
You have five minutes to find your partner and get yourself to the starting line.
Where's Lizzie?
Uh, she took a break.
Oh, child's allergic to work.
Um, thanks for helping out.
Do you mind if I go? The relay's about to start.
No, great. Go ahead.
[Preacher] Hey, Connie.
This... This is the only key, so... so please don't lose it.
You seem a little upset.
No, I'm, uh, I'm good. Thanks.
You can trust me, you know, with whatever's got you so upset.
I hear what people say about me.
That I'm a gossip.
Nosy Parker.
But when it comes to serious matters, I can keep a confidence,
so if ever you want to talk about what happened with Paige and Wes...
you know where to find me.
Oh!
[groans]
[grunts]
Birth control.
[Jack] Hey.
Hey.
I've been looking for you.
Look, I understand why you're upset, and I'm sorry.
It's fine.
You know, she asked you a question, and you told her the truth.
You have nothing to apologize for, really.
Well, I know right now it seems bad, but trust me, by tomorrow,
they'll all be gossiping about somebody else.
Jack, everyone at this picnic could be a patient of mine someday,
and if they all think that I stole Charmaine's boyfriend,
who's gonna trust me?
Without trust, how am I supposed to do my job?
-But that's not what happened. -It doesn't matter if they believe it.
Well, I'll talk to her, okay?
No, no. No. This is between me and Charmaine.
And she's not my girlfriend.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Will you do something for me?
Anything.
Be my partner?
-What? -Be my partner. Come here.
If the teams could please get ready.
[mouthing]
Okay.
I'm all yours.
-Let's win this thing, huh? -Yes.
You really want to do this?
Yeah.
Might as well give them something new to talk about.
-Well, that's the spirit. -[Mel laughs]
[Hope] On your mark, get set, go!
[air horn blaring]
[Brady] What is that?
[Lizzie] Must be that stupid egg race.
I need a beer.
How old are you?
-Twenty-three. -[laughs]
Mm-hmm. You got any ID?
Do you?
[chuckles]
I've been drinking since I was 13,
so I don't care.
But people around here probably do.
Then I'll get my own beer.
[crowd cheering]
-[Mel] Ah! Oh! -[Jack] Go, go, go, go, go. go!
[laughing]
[yelling]
Yeah!
-No! -Go, go, go!
[yelps]
[Mel] You dropped your egg!
[crowd cheering]
We won? We won!
[whooping, laughing]
We won!
And the winners are Jack Sheridan and Mel Monroe!
[cheering]
Whoo!
Thank you! Thank you very much!
It wasn't... it wasn't you.
[laughing]
We did it!
[Hope] And you get all the marbles!
[laughs]
[Mel laughing] Hey.
Thank you.
Marbles!
[Muriel] Whoo-hoo.
[gull squawking]
-Hi. -Everything okay?
Uh-huh. I'm just looking for Vernon.
Well, he left about 20 minutes ago.
He said he was heading home.
Oh. Okay.
Thank you for letting me know.
-Is he your ride home? -He was.
Well, I'm sure he'll be back to get you.
He's upset with me.
I MC'ed the egg relay,
so I had Muriel partner with him, and they lost the race.
Well, did he say he wanted to partner with you?
Yes, but honestly, I didn't think it was that important to him.
Hope, when people say something,
it usually means they want to be heard.
It wasn't intentional.
Well, I bet he knows that.
I hope so.
You want a ride?
I don't want to bother you.
Hope, I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to do it.
-It's very nice of you. Thank you. -You're welcome.
Look, I got a few more boxes to get, but I can meet you back here in ten?
I'll swing by the bakery truck and grab us some sodas for the road.
Brady.
Nice car.
What do you want?
Lilly just told me about the offer she got on her farm.
Why do you care?
Is Calvin behind Emerald Lumber?
It's a legitimate offer.
She thinks you're gonna to turn the farm around.
Really? Huh.
Hmm.
Wonder where she got that idea from.
She said you told her.
Oh.
Well, she's mistaken.
Look, I don't appreciate people I care about being lied to.
So you might want to rethink your sales pitch.
Charmaine, you can think whatever you want about me,
but I have done absolutely nothing to you.
In fact, I've gone out of my way to be nice to you.
Yeah, sleeping with Jack was real sweet of you.
That doesn't give you the right to spread rumors about me.
It's not a rumor if it's true.
Accusing me of having sex with Jack to take him from you is a straight-up lie.
It's my opinion.
I'm gonna make this really simple for you.
From now on, keep my name out of your mouth.
But you're not gonna win this.
Jack likes to take care of those who need him the most,
and you know who that's gonna be? Our babies. That's who.
And what with twins, you could imagine
how much time and energy that's gonna take.
Charmaine, this isn't a competition.
I fully support Jack becoming a father.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
You know, no matter what happens,
I'm gonna be by Jack's side because I only want what's best for him.
Can you honestly say the same?
You're fired.
I don't want you anywhere near me.
It's not a problem, okay.
I only agreed to treat you because Jack asked me to.
[exhales]
[sighs]
[exhales]
[knocking at door]
Hey.
It's official.
-[laughs] -You lost your marbles.
Oh, I was wondering where my sanity had gone.
Yeah, well, see, it's just one more example
of why you can't live without Jack Sheridan.
[chuckles softly]
Um...
I went to see Charmaine.
-How'd that go? -Mmm. Not great.
Yeah, but at least I said my piece.
And you feel better?
No, not really.
Well, my mom says you can't control what other people do,
only how you react to it.
Well, your mom sounds like a very wise woman.
Ooh, she's a firecracker.
She'd love you.
Maybe you'll get to meet her someday.
Yeah, maybe.
[knocking at door]
[Mel clears throat]
Surprise!
-Hi. -Sorry I didn't call.
It's okay. Come, uh, come in.
Uh, Jack, this is, um, Mark's sister. Stacey.
[Jack] Oh.
-Nice to meet you. -Yeah. And you are...?
Oh, um, I left something, and Jack was nice enough to bring it over.
I should probably get going.
-Oh, don't let me chase you off. -No, I gotta close up.
Good to meet you.
Thank you.
Oof.
That's the hottest lumberjack I've ever seen.
[laughs]
Uh, no, Jack owns the bar,
and we're just friends. It's...
No judgment here.
Gosh, Stacey. How did you find me?
I went by your old house. They had your forwarding address.
Oh, right.
It's been a long time.
Since the funeral.
Yeah.
I'm sorry I haven't stayed in touch.
I don't blame you. Mom didn't make it easy.
-She's hurting. -No.
She's a narcissist.
[laughs] Yeah. Yeah, she is.

[knocking on door]
Come in.
Oh, hi.
[Jack] Hey.
If you need anything, I'll be on the couch.
Are you gonna be spending the whole night?
I will...
with one condition.
What's that?
No more gossiping about Mel. I mean, just leave her alone.
I can't believe she sent you.
She didn't.
She'd probably be upset if she knew I was even talking about this.
Jack, I have to be able to share things with my friends.
I know.
Do you? Because it seems like the only thing that you care about is Mel,
and I'm the one who's stuck here, pregnant, sick in bed.
All I'm asking is that you keep the personal stuff between us.
'Cause getting the whole town involved doesn't help anyone.
I can't control how information is spread or how people are gonna feel about it.
All right, I'm asking you to put a stop to it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Well, I'm gonna go to bed. It's been a long day.
-Good night. -Good night.

Jack.
Hey, I... I was gonna sleep on the couch tonight.
Is that okay?
I'll get you some blankets and a pillow.
So, you want to hear something crazy?
Always.
I got engaged.
Oh. [laughs]
Well, how did it happen?
His name is Paul. You don't know him.
We work together. Well...
technically, he's my boss.
Uh, wow.
I'm glad everything worked out for you.
This is the ring that he bought me.
Oh, wow.
Wow, that's... That's really beautiful.
Um, why aren't you wearing it?
It doesn't feel right.
You know the ring that Mark gave you for your engagement was our grandmother's.
Mimi practically raised us.
I know you... you guys loved her very much.
When Mark was planning to propose to you,
he asked me if he could give you her ring.
I never could say no to him.
Um...
I'm sorry. I'm not... [chuckles]
I'm just not sure, um, what... what you're getting at.
Well, now that Mark's gone,
I'd like the ring back.
