Has the Wilcox estate closed?

Both parties signed this morning.

6
00:00:16,975 --> 00:00:18,727
Over asking price with multiple offers,

7
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:19,894
if I heard correctly?

8
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:22,897
Way over asking. Congratulations.

9
00:00:22,981 --> 00:00:26,526
Well, thank you. I loved that home.

10
00:00:26,609 --> 00:00:29,696
I'm excited for the family. I
think it's the perfect fit for them.

11
00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:32,991
- Grace, have you ever thought about management?
- ( phone chimes )

12
00:00:33,074 --> 00:00:36,119
Uh, management? No. Why?

13
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:39,122
We have a satellite office
that's in a bit of a pinch.

14
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:41,875
Their manager went on maternity
leave earlier than we expected.

15
00:00:41,958 --> 00:00:46,921
We need someone to handle
things in her place until she gets back.

16
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:48,925
Didn't you tell me
you were from Evergreen Falls?

17
00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:51,551
I am.

18
00:00:51,634 --> 00:00:54,345
But I haven't been there since
my parents sold their house.

19
00:00:54,429 --> 00:00:57,557
Well, that's where this branch is located.

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,561
Grace, you've got a track record
of sales that's on par with theirs.

21
00:01:01,644 --> 00:01:05,940
They're a very high-performing
group. I think you'd be a great fit.

22
00:01:06,024 --> 00:01:10,695
I appreciate it, but I'm not
sure about being a manager.

23
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,156
Do you know what every buyer
or seller tells me

24
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,658
when we ask about
their experience with you?

25
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:21,372
Every one of them says you made them feel
listened to, heard, that you truly cared.

26
00:01:21,456 --> 00:01:26,377
And the majority of managing people
is just that... listening and caring.

27
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:28,963
And being that it's December
15th, I also already approved

28
00:01:29,047 --> 00:01:32,967
( phone chimes ) everyone
else's vacation time off.

29
00:01:33,051 --> 00:01:35,970
I'm sorry. My parents are
supposed to be coming here,

30
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:37,931
but they're stuck
in back to back snowstorms.

31
00:01:38,014 --> 00:01:41,810
Well, should you say yes
to the assignment,

32
00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:45,188
maybe they can meet you
in Evergreen Falls.

33
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:48,817
Well, we haven't been there
as a family in a long time.

34
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,735
What do you say?

35
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:53,404
Would you go there for a few weeks?

36
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:56,825
Step in as interim manager?

37
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:58,910
- I'm your girl.
- Wonderful.

38
00:01:58,993 --> 00:02:01,621
I'll have temporary housing
set up by the time you get there.

39
00:02:01,704 --> 00:02:04,415
Enjoy this adventure.

40
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:05,875
And we'll see you in the new year.

41
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,838
Well, when would you like me to start?

42
00:02:09,921 --> 00:02:11,339
Yesterday.

43
00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:13,925
Okay.

- Hello?
- Hannah.

47
00:03:06,978 --> 00:03:08,664
- Where are you right now?
- I'm at the church.

48
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:10,064
Grace: I'll see you there.

49
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:15,695
Man: 20 seconds until the perfect shot

50
00:03:15,778 --> 00:03:18,781
is all aligned.

51
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:25,205
Three, two, one. No, no! Stop, stop, no!

52
00:03:25,288 --> 00:03:26,765
- To your right. To your right.
- Excuse me?

53
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:28,267
Please. Please just... please just move.

54
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:29,292
Just move. Just...

55
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:33,022
You know what?
Never mind. It's too late.

56
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:35,048
I missed the shot.
I missed the shot. Ugh.

57
00:03:35,131 --> 00:03:38,718
- I'm sorry.
- Do you have any idea how long it took me

58
00:03:38,801 --> 00:03:44,724
- to set up for that shot?
- Well, good news is the sun will rise again tomorrow.

59
00:03:44,807 --> 00:03:47,310
Yes. The Earth's tilted on its axis,

60
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:50,563
so the angle of the sun changes
every day as we orbit.

61
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:54,317
So that light hitting that statue
creating that perfect shadow

62
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,112
and the perfect picture
will only happen once a year.

63
00:03:58,196 --> 00:03:59,989
So, yeah, the sun will rise tomorrow,

64
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:02,951
but I'm gonna have to wait 365 days

65
00:04:03,034 --> 00:04:04,535
to get that shot again.

66
00:04:04,619 --> 00:04:08,331
Oh. Okay.

67
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:11,960
Uh, I'm sorry

68
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:16,547
about the year and the tilted axis.

69
00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:19,759
The light around the sun?

70
00:04:19,842 --> 00:04:21,844
And I'm sorry about the sun, too.

71
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,429
You're sorry about the sun?

72
00:04:26,849 --> 00:04:28,643
Okay

73
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:40,738
( muttering ) Almost there.

74
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:42,865

- It' so good to see you, Anna.

81
00:04:58,881 --> 00:05:00,633
So tell me, what are you doing here?

82
00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:02,861
Oh, my gosh, the kids have
been asking about you non-stop

83
00:05:02,885 --> 00:05:05,179
since we saw you in the city so long ago.

84
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:07,598
"Where's Aunt Grace?
Where's Aunt Grace?"

85
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:10,310
How long are you here for?
We've got a lot to catch up on.

86
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:14,522
I'm here through Christmas
temporarily managing the local branch.

87
00:05:14,605 --> 00:05:16,845
That is so exciting. I know
having you here for Christmas

88
00:05:16,899 --> 00:05:18,619
in Evergreen Falls
was not part of the plan,

89
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:20,862
but I'm so glad that plans changed.

90
00:05:20,945 --> 00:05:23,823
- Me, too.
- Is Brad meeting you up here?

91
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:27,076
Uh, no.

92
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,912
We're not together anymore.

93
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,417
- Oh. I'm so sorry.
- No, it's okay.

94
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,712
I mean, I was pretty upset,
but it's for the best.

95
00:05:37,795 --> 00:05:40,631
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I don't know.

96
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:45,636
I threw myself into work
and ate a lot of ice cream.

97
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,639
How many times can I call you
and say it didn't work out?

98
00:05:48,723 --> 00:05:51,559
At some point, I start to wonder if it's me.

99
00:05:51,642 --> 00:05:56,439
Grace, stop right there.
I promise you it is not you.

100
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:59,442
- It's just simply not the right guy.
- You have to say that,

101
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:03,071
being my first friend, and my best friend.

102
00:06:03,154 --> 00:06:06,240
- Well, since you are kind of a local now...
- Temporarily.

103
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:08,451
I'm ignoring that.

104
00:06:08,534 --> 00:06:10,721
How do you feel about swinging
by the house tomorrow afternoon?

105
00:06:10,745 --> 00:06:12,663
I'm in charge of donation days this week

106
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:14,832
and the Winter Warm Up drive is up first.

107
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,460
I can't make any promises,

108
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:20,588
but if I can get away from work,
I will be there.

109
00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:22,673
I'll take whatever I can get.

110
00:06:22,757 --> 00:06:25,176
So you gonna help me
finish on up over here?

111
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:27,345
That sounds like so much fun,

112
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:29,055
but I have to go prep for tomorrow.

113
00:06:29,138 --> 00:06:32,016
I'm meeting the team
and I want to be prepared.

114
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:34,102
I hear that they run a very tight ship,

115
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:37,688
so I want them to know
I'm up for the challenge.

116
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:39,524
- You'll be great.
- Oh.

117
00:06:39,607 --> 00:06:41,901
- Oh! I love you.
- I love you.

118
00:06:41,984 --> 00:06:44,153
- Okay, I'll see you soon.
- Okay.

It's great to meet you, Pamela.

in on our open house on our new listing.

We're really excited about it,
but between us,

134
00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:28,573
- it puts us really close to winning the award.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

135
00:07:28,656 --> 00:07:33,494
- The award?
- The Golden Key award.

136
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:35,204
It's presented to the office

137
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,956

That's brilliant.

140
00:07:43,045 --> 00:07:44,547
Our offices are closed then

141
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,549
so it makes sense that
I didn't know about it.

142
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:49,343
And Christmas is the slowest
time of year for sales.

143
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:53,556
We've almost won it the last
three years, but I can feel it.

144

- This is gonna be our year.
- I hope so.

145
00:07:55,683 --> 00:07:58,769

on my Christmas list.

That's incredible.
Is there a desk I can use?

00:08:10,072 --> 00:08:13,784
- Yeah, I can take your coat. I can show you...
- ( jingling )

150

Someone must've
just closed on a house!

That puts us one house closer
to sandy white beaches.

Congratulations!

153

- Whoa.

00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:48,087
- Yes.
- No.

00:09:52,091 --> 00:09:53,884
I'm the in-house photographer

172
00:09:53,968 --> 00:09:55,761
behind the photos
you were just admiring.

173
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:57,930
So you do know each other.

174
00:09:58,014 --> 00:09:59,682
- No.
- Yes.

175
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:03,686
- She ruined the perfect shot.
- I said I was sorry.

176
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:08,065
Okay. Grace, this is Luke. Luke, Grace.

177
00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:12,111
Your work is very good.

178
00:10:12,194 --> 00:10:14,322
When I can actually get the shot, it is.

179
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:17,116
- Yes. Thank you.
- Right.

180
00:10:17,199 --> 00:10:20,703
Well, I thought it would be great
for Luke to go with you today.

181
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:24,332
He wanted to get a few more
pictures of the house with natural light.

182
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:26,334
Of course, he did.

183
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:29,170
I'm gonna go get my bag.

184
00:10:29,253 --> 00:10:32,923
Okay, I'll... I'll meet you there.

185
00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:34,300
Great.

186
00:10:47,813 --> 00:10:48,814
Perfect.

187
00:10:53,027 --> 00:10:56,280
- Guess who's got donuts.
- Oh, great.

188
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:57,865
Oh, hold on. Let me help you.

189
00:10:57,948 --> 00:10:59,950
- It's okay. I got it.
- I got it, I got it.

190
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:01,952
- I can do it.
- I know you can, but I am here

191
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:03,597
and I'm just in the way if I'm not helping.

192
00:11:03,621 --> 00:11:05,373
- Just next to the tree.
- All right.

193
00:11:05,456 --> 00:11:08,376
When a potential buyer
walks into a space,

194
00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:11,087
they immediately gauge
the size of the room,

195
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:13,172
and these chairs are disrupting the flow.

196
00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:15,549
Right. Where does this one go?

197
00:11:15,633 --> 00:11:17,760
Oh, uh, right by the natural light

198
00:11:17,843 --> 00:11:18,969
coming through the window.

199
00:11:19,053 --> 00:11:20,971
Okay, yeah.

200
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:23,391
Ah, perfect!

201
00:11:23,474 --> 00:11:26,394
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah,
I see what you're doing here.

202
00:11:26,477 --> 00:11:30,231
Those chairs were definitely
clogging the room up.

203
00:11:30,314 --> 00:11:31,857
Good flow.

204
00:11:34,276 --> 00:11:35,778
It does look much bigger.

205
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:40,199
You have done this before.
Oh, wow. Wow.

206
00:11:40,282 --> 00:11:45,413
- Really welcoming.
- Make yourself at home.

207
00:11:45,496 --> 00:11:47,415
I like to get to know a space
before I shoot it.

208
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:50,126
By lounging on the couch.

209
00:11:50,209 --> 00:11:52,253
Yeah, seriously. Give it a try. Come on.

210
00:11:52,336 --> 00:11:54,213
Get to know the house you're selling.

211
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,801
- Oh. It's nice.
- Huh?

212
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:01,345
- Yeah.
- Mm.

213
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:04,390
Yeah, this room would be great
for family gatherings.

214
00:12:04,473 --> 00:12:09,645
Mm-hmm. That corner over there
is begging for a Christmas tree.

215
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,439
Oh, and stockings along the mantel.

216
00:12:11,522 --> 00:12:13,983
Uh-huh. Garland over the windows.

217
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:19,029
That light next to that chair would
make a really nice cozy reading nook.

218
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:24,243
- Fire in the fireplace.
- And old-timey Christmas music playing in the background.

219
00:12:24,326 --> 00:12:27,538
Yeah, this room is perfect
for Christmas morning.

220
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:34,628
My grandmother had
a living room about this size.

221
00:12:34,712 --> 00:12:38,048
- We'd all cram into it.
- Cram?

222
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:41,635
- Yeah.
- In a room this big?

223
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:45,973
- How big is your family?
- Well, it's two older brothers, an older sister.

224
00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:49,560
Everyone's married and has kids,
so when we're all together,

225
00:12:49,643 --> 00:12:53,481
you're gonna need a school bus
to move us from place to place.

226
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:56,275
- Do they live close?
- Yeah. Yeah, everyone's within an hour,

227
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:58,861
so I see them a lot, which is really great.

228
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:02,865
- What about you?
- Oh, it's just my parents and I.

229
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:06,660
I haven't been able to spend Christmas
morning with them for a few years.

230
00:13:06,744 --> 00:13:11,999
- Why not?
- They run a medical nonprofit that takes them all over.

231
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:17,296
They provide educational programs
and medical care to communities in need.

232
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:19,089
Wow, that's impressive.

233
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:21,300
Yeah, they're pretty awesome.

234
00:13:21,383 --> 00:13:25,095
They're so smart and selfless.

235
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:29,099
They're in the mid west right
now and they're snowed in,

236
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:32,269
so I'm hoping that
they'll be able to join me here.

237
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:42,822
Well, uh, I'm gonna make sure that
everything is ready for the open house.

238
00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:48,702
Thank you for the donuts
and the heavy lifting.

239
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:51,580
Even though I could have done it myself.

240
00:14:00,130 --> 00:14:03,551
Everything is ready.
Now we just need a buyer.

241
00:14:03,634 --> 00:14:05,553
The donuts will definitely seal the deal.

242
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:08,556
But just in case, I'm gonna
take a few extra pictures.

243
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:11,559
Sometimes a new picture can bring
an unsure buyer back to make an offer.

244
00:14:11,642 --> 00:14:15,354
You're right. Especially first-time
buyers afraid to take the leap.

245
00:14:15,437 --> 00:14:18,148
Great idea. Thank you.

246
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:22,152
Hey, if I happen to get
a new client this week,

247
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:24,005
would you be available
to take listing pictures?

248
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:27,032
Of course, it's, uh, sort of my job.

249
00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:29,159
- Okay. Oh!
- ( phone ringing )

250
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:31,495
Excuse me.

251
00:14:31,579 --> 00:14:33,956
Hey, Mom. Hey.

252
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,959
Sorry, I... I forgot to call.
What's the latest?

253
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:42,172
Uh, well, the good news is we can change
our ticket and get on another flight.

254
00:14:42,256 --> 00:14:44,800
The bad news is we don't know
when that flight's gonna be yet.

255
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:48,387
Sorry, sweetie. We were so looking
forward to having Christmas with you.

256
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:51,557
Well, you might. There's still time.

257
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,976
I know. I just wish we were there already.

258
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:56,854
Hey, how is it being back home?

259
00:14:56,937 --> 00:15:00,190
Uh, I don't know.

260
00:15:00,274 --> 00:15:02,359
It's... it's great to see the town.

261
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:05,613
I don't really know anyone anymore.

262
00:15:05,696 --> 00:15:09,617
Um, I should get back.
My open house is about to start.

263
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:10,784
Okay, kiddo. We love you.

264
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:14,079
I love you, too, Mom. Bye.

265
00:15:19,293 --> 00:15:21,420
Everything okay?

266
00:15:21,503 --> 00:15:25,633
Uh, yeah, that was just my mom.

267
00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:27,801
They might not make it for Christmas.

268
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:29,970
So what's your backup plan?

269
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:32,097
My what?

270
00:15:32,181 --> 00:15:35,017
Your Christmas plan B.
Everyone's got one.

271
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:39,647
They do, do they? Everyone?

272
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:42,816
- I don't.
- Which is why you need one.

273
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,110
Okay, so where are you
spending Christmas?

274
00:15:45,194 --> 00:15:49,239
In my rental house alone,

275
00:15:49,323 --> 00:15:51,575
probably eating Chinese takeout.

276
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:56,246
- Nope. Nah, that's not it.
- No? Uh, yes.

277
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:59,667
Okay, so what's a normal
Christmas? Do you have any traditions?

278
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:04,838
Well, usually I meet my parents
wherever their non-profit is.

279
00:16:04,922 --> 00:16:10,678
And, well, last year my
boyfriend and... my ex-boyfriend.

280
00:16:10,761 --> 00:16:12,763
We broke up earlier this year.

281
00:16:12,846 --> 00:16:18,060
Um, and if it's not obvious,
it wasn't my decision.

282
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:19,783
I just don't really like to talk about it

283
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:22,398
because it doesn't really matter.

284
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:24,858
I'm sorry. I don't know
why I'm telling you this.

285
00:16:24,942 --> 00:16:28,070
- I mean, I don't even know you.
- I actually think it's healthy

286
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:32,491
to talk about difficult things, and
breakups certainly are difficult.

287
00:16:32,574 --> 00:16:36,704
Yeah. Especially when you
envision a future with that person.

288
00:16:37,913 --> 00:16:39,748
Hey, I've got an idea.

289
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:44,294
For your plan B, I've got boxes
of spare ornaments in my garage.

290
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:46,714
Let's make your house
a little more festive.

291
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:49,216
- Okay.
- I'll send the photos over after I edit them.

292
00:16:49,299 --> 00:16:52,803
- Have a great open house.
- Thank you.

293
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:03,522
I'm just gonna ask Walter
and I'll be back.

294
00:17:03,605 --> 00:17:05,899
- Okay.
- Hey, Kendall.

295
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:07,985
Hey, Luke! How did the photo shoot go?

296
00:17:08,068 --> 00:17:11,739
- Very well, I think.
- How did Grace do?

297
00:17:11,822 --> 00:17:15,784
- Uh, she's particular.
- In a good way?

298
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,328
Very good.

299
00:17:18,412 --> 00:17:23,333
Um, she's talented,
and she's got a keen eye,

300
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:25,127
and she cares.

301
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:26,754
It's... it's, uh, refreshing.

302
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:29,548
Fantastic.

303
00:17:29,631 --> 00:17:31,759
- Yeah.
- Cool.

304
00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:34,928
- Are there any more cookies?
- There are. Check the kitchen.

305
00:17:57,618 --> 00:18:00,287
- Surprise!
- Hey!

306
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:03,290
- What are you doing here?
- I just wanted to support you.

307
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:06,877
And, wow, this place is gorgeous.

308
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,463
Oh, my goodness.
I saw the listing online.

309
00:18:09,546 --> 00:18:12,424
- I just had to swing by.
- Isn't it a great family home?

310
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:17,179
Oh, I would love to have this
much space. And this crown molding!

311
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:20,599
It's newly renovated.
Why? Are you and Noah looking?

312
00:18:20,682 --> 00:18:23,811
Depends on which one of us you ask.

313
00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:26,247
We're supposed to start renovations
on our place early next year,

314
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:28,398
but the contractor
said six to eight months,

315
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:30,818
and that's if nothing goes wrong.

316
00:18:30,901 --> 00:18:35,072
Renovations are tough,
but it could be worthwhile.

317
00:18:35,155 --> 00:18:38,492
Or hear me out.
We can just get this house.

318
00:18:38,575 --> 00:18:42,079
I've been looking. There
is nothing like this out there.

319
00:18:42,162 --> 00:18:45,207
Well, let me know if I can help.
You can help.

320
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:48,919
You can come on over and, uh,
convince my husband to get this house.

321
00:18:50,712 --> 00:18:53,799
And I'll just take one of these.

322
00:18:53,882 --> 00:18:55,843
I'll see you at the Winter Warm Up later?

323
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:58,929
Yes, I will be there after work.

324
00:18:59,012 --> 00:18:59,930
Good luck.

325
00:19:00,013 --> 00:19:01,431
So good to see you.

326
00:19:01,515 --> 00:19:02,599
I'll see you soon.

327
00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:04,935
- See you later.
- Both: Bye!

328
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:09,314
( No audible dialogue )

329
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:18,365
- Wow, this place is amazing.
- Hello! Thanks for coming in.

330
00:19:18,448 --> 00:19:20,284
- Would you sign in please?
- Sure.

331
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:23,245
- Thank you.
- The hardwood floors are so beautiful.

332
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:26,874
- I've always wanted some.
- Yeah, the hardwood is top-notch,

333
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:30,252
- and it was just newly renovated.
- I love the high ceilings.

334
00:19:30,335 --> 00:19:32,254
Well, please make yourself at home

335
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:34,047
and I'm here if you have any questions.

336
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:35,424
- Enjoy.
- Great.

337
00:19:35,507 --> 00:19:38,468
So much room.

338
00:19:38,552 --> 00:19:40,679
I love this bedroom!

339
00:19:40,762 --> 00:19:43,056
Oh, and this could be the baby's room.

340
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:46,560
( Chatter continues )

341
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:51,982
They would love the natural light.

342
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:56,904
So, what did you think?

343
00:19:56,987 --> 00:19:58,363
It's stunning!

344
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:01,700
It's also way out of our price range.

345
00:20:01,783 --> 00:20:03,285
We're sorry we wasted your time.

346
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:05,287
Oh, you did no such thing.

347
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:07,080
When you're looking for a home,

348
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:10,709
it's important to feel the space.

349
00:20:10,792 --> 00:20:14,504
And hopefully seeing this home
can help you know what you want.

350
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:17,925
Well, we do know that we're
looking for more of a starter home.

351
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:22,304
And one fairly quickly, as we've got
a special delivery arriving in February,

352
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:24,514
and we'd like to close
on a house before then.

353
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:28,518
- Congratulations.
- We're looking for a home to start our life in.

354
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:31,939
Two bedrooms, maybe three so
we've got room for my family to visit.

355
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:34,024
Hmm. I totally understand.

356
00:20:34,107 --> 00:20:38,028
And I am sure that the perfect
home is out there waiting for you.

357
00:20:38,111 --> 00:20:41,740
I'll keep my eyes open,
and if you need anything at all,

358
00:20:41,823 --> 00:20:45,535
- please let me know.
- Oh, thank you so much.

359
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:48,121
- Both: Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas!

360
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:50,832
- And congratulations again.
- Thank you.

361
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:00,842
Mitchell and Marcie Chan.

362
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:04,846
They're so cute.

363
00:21:08,642 --> 00:21:10,727
( On speakers ) ♪ On
the first day of Christmas ♪

364
00:21:10,811 --> 00:21:12,247
- ♪ My true love gave to me ♪
- Both: Oh!

365
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,773
Ooh, we have got to stop
meeting like this.

366
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:19,611
Sorry. I was focused on a quick
retail therapy shopping trip.

367
00:21:19,695 --> 00:21:21,047
Well, if you've got a spare minute,

368
00:21:21,071 --> 00:21:24,449
I have a spare cocoa for you.

369
00:21:24,533 --> 00:21:27,286
Thank you.

370
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:31,581
Do you always carry two just in case?

371
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:35,043
If you must know, they were both for me.

372
00:21:35,127 --> 00:21:37,796
- Both of them?
- Well, this one was for me,

373
00:21:37,879 --> 00:21:39,798
and that one was for the car ride home

374
00:21:39,881 --> 00:21:42,175
or if there was some kind of crisis

375
00:21:42,259 --> 00:21:44,803
or if it was just a day that ends in "y."

376
00:21:44,886 --> 00:21:46,013
I see.

377
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:48,807
So you stockpile hot chocolate.

378
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:51,184
- Completely normal.
- Are you saying it's not?

379
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:52,894
( laughs )

380
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:56,690
So afternoon retail therapy, huh?

381
00:21:56,773 --> 00:22:01,194
Is that code for you're having
a day that's not so great?

382
00:22:01,278 --> 00:22:03,113
It's code for my current wardrobe

383
00:22:03,196 --> 00:22:05,699
isn't exactly as merry
and bright as everyone else's.

384
00:22:05,782 --> 00:22:07,659
And you just want to fit in?

385
00:22:07,743 --> 00:22:09,661
More like I don't want to stick out.

386
00:22:09,745 --> 00:22:11,246
Deep.

387
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:15,959
I just want to be comfortable
in my surroundings.

388
00:22:16,043 --> 00:22:17,687
Well, as long as you really
like Christmas,

389
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:20,047
- you will be just fine.
- Hmm.

390
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:21,130
So you're one of those.

391
00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:22,507
Twinkle light-loving,

392
00:22:22,591 --> 00:22:25,052
candy cane-collecting kind of person

393
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:28,347
who probably thinks that pumpkin spice

394
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:29,699
and peppermint are a food group.

395
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,058
Mm. Mm-hmm.

396
00:22:31,141 --> 00:22:33,560
But only between October and January.

397
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,439
I should get going.

398
00:22:37,522 --> 00:22:40,525
Um, thank you for sharing
your emergency cocoa.

399
00:22:40,609 --> 00:22:43,653
You're welcome. Don't waste a drop.

400
00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:47,949
- I'll see you soon.
- Mm-hmm.

401
00:22:58,543 --> 00:23:02,172
- Can I help you?
- Hi. I'm Grace Sawyer.

402
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,674
- I saw the for sale sign.
- Grace Sawyer?

403
00:23:04,758 --> 00:23:07,469
Why I haven't seen you
since Sunday school

404
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:10,263
when you were about yea high.

405
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:12,391
- Mrs. Campbell?
- Yes.

406
00:23:12,474 --> 00:23:15,560
- Oh, come in, dear. It's awfully cold.
- Thank you.

407
00:23:15,644 --> 00:23:19,481
- Here you can hang your coat up right there.
- Oh, thank you so much.

408
00:23:19,564 --> 00:23:22,150
Wow, what a wonderful surprise.

409
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:26,655
- So, how are you?
- I'm great.

410
00:23:26,738 --> 00:23:29,282
Well, much taller, thankfully.
How are you?

411
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:32,119
I'm wonderful, thank you.
So what brings you here?

412
00:23:32,202 --> 00:23:37,707
Oh, I saw a for sale by owner
sign outside earlier,

413
00:23:37,791 --> 00:23:39,167
but it's not there anymore.

414
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:41,503
- Did you sell it?
- No.

415
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:43,213
The house is still for sale,

416
00:23:43,296 --> 00:23:45,298
but I put the sign up prematurely,

417
00:23:45,382 --> 00:23:47,300
as my sisters reminded me.

418
00:23:47,384 --> 00:23:49,428
We still have a few details to iron out.

419
00:23:49,511 --> 00:23:52,055
- I see.
- We are technically co-owners,

420
00:23:52,139 --> 00:23:54,516
since our family left it to all three of us.

421
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:57,727
I live closest, so I'm handling the sale.

422
00:23:57,811 --> 00:24:00,021
Why? Are you interested in buying?

423
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:03,316
Oh, no, I'm here temporarily

424
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,902
managing the Evergreen Falls
Realty office.

425
00:24:05,986 --> 00:24:08,363
This might be a little bit silly,

426
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:12,284
but since I was little,
I have dreamed of this house.

427
00:24:12,367 --> 00:24:15,662
I'd love to help you find the perfect buyer

428
00:24:15,745 --> 00:24:19,166
- for you and your sisters.
- Oh, I appreciate that.

429
00:24:19,249 --> 00:24:23,879
And it's not personal, but for now
we're not going to work with an agent.

430
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:26,548
My sisters say it's just
one more person to pay.

431
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:30,010
They have their eyes set
on a fancy retirement community.

432
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:32,971
So that said, they're ready
to take the highest bidder.

433
00:24:33,054 --> 00:24:36,141
Sadly, that's typically
a development company.

434
00:24:36,224 --> 00:24:38,977
You know, it's nice to see a young person

435
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:41,480
look at property value
and not see condos.

436
00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:43,023
Never!

437
00:24:43,106 --> 00:24:46,818
The history in here, the details,

438
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:49,029
I'd love to take a tour sometime.

439
00:24:49,112 --> 00:24:52,991
- Well, how about now?
- That would be great.

440
00:24:53,074 --> 00:24:56,077
- Come on, we can start upstairs.
- Perfect.

441
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,332
( Knocking )

442
00:25:02,042 --> 00:25:03,043
- Hi!
- Hi.

443
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:04,586
- You made it!
- Hi.

444
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:07,005
Oh, listen up, everybody.

445
00:25:07,088 --> 00:25:08,632
We have a very special guest here.

446
00:25:08,715 --> 00:25:11,510
This is my dear friend Grace.

447
00:25:11,593 --> 00:25:15,013
And now that everybody's here, I just
want to thank you all for being here today.

448
00:25:15,096 --> 00:25:17,432
It only takes a few hours out of our day,

449
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:20,227
and we're helping people
to feel warm this winter

450
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:23,897
and helping them to remember that
there are people out there who truly care.

451
00:25:23,980 --> 00:25:28,026
So there is hot chocolate,
tea, coffee in the kitchen

452
00:25:28,109 --> 00:25:30,028
for anyone who would like to join me.

453
00:25:30,111 --> 00:25:32,030
- And then we can get started.
- Okay.

454
00:25:32,113 --> 00:25:33,532
I can take those. Thank you.

455
00:25:33,615 --> 00:25:34,842
There's a couple more boxes
in the kitchen.

456
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:37,410
- Hello again.
- Well, hello.

457
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:39,120
Aww, you shouldn't have.

458
00:25:41,414 --> 00:25:44,751
I forgot to ask you earlier,
how did our open house go?

459
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:48,672
- Our open house?
- I mean, I did contribute.

460
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:50,340
I think my donuts were a strong closer

461
00:25:50,423 --> 00:25:51,663
if you didn't mess anything up.

462
00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:55,053
Uh, I didn't mess anything up.

463
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:59,849
- But, no. No takers.
- Hmm.

464
00:25:59,933 --> 00:26:02,060
What are you doing here?

465
00:26:02,143 --> 00:26:05,605
I'm the one who lives in Evergreen Falls.

466
00:26:05,689 --> 00:26:08,275
I go to church with Anna and Noah.

467
00:26:08,358 --> 00:26:10,277
What church, you ask?

468
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,279
Well, the same church

469
00:26:12,362 --> 00:26:15,448
where someone walked into
and disrupted

470
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:17,284
my once in a lifetime shot yesterday.

471
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:19,035
I thought you said it was once a year.

472
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,454
I'm going for dramatics here.

473
00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:22,831
How do you know Anna and Noah?

474
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:25,292
Anna is my oldest friend.

475
00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:28,336
Hmm. It's weird
she never mentioned you.

476
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,547
Yeah, well,
she never mentioned you either.

477
00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:34,759
I find that hard to believe.
Okay, I believe it.

478
00:26:36,386 --> 00:26:38,305
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

479
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:44,311
- Mm. We should get to work.
- Right, yeah.

480
00:26:44,394 --> 00:26:47,314
This should be the last
adult box. Thank you.

481
00:26:52,569 --> 00:26:54,904
You seem distracted.

482
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:56,740
It's nice to see everyone come together.

483
00:26:56,823 --> 00:26:59,659
You don't have a community
like this where you live?

484
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:02,120
Uh, not really.

485
00:27:02,203 --> 00:27:04,706
I mean, I'm not saying it's bad. It's not.

486
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:06,333
I... I love the city.

487
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:09,127
You can get pizza 24/7,

488
00:27:09,210 --> 00:27:11,713
and take a walk at midnight

489
00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:13,923
and the city is lit up like it's daylight.

490
00:27:14,007 --> 00:27:17,177
Well, for the record, you can get
a pizza from Charlie's until 9 PM.

491
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:20,138
And the stars here are bright
enough to light up the streets

492
00:27:20,221 --> 00:27:22,265
without any neon signs.

493
00:27:22,349 --> 00:27:26,728
I guess I haven't found

494
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:28,647
this kind of human interaction there.

495
00:27:28,730 --> 00:27:31,149
( Clanging )

496
00:27:31,232 --> 00:27:33,693
You can... continue. I just...

497
00:27:35,236 --> 00:27:39,157
So, tell me, did you
leave behind a perfectly

498
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,301
and elegantly decorated Christmas tree?

499
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:43,620
No, I didn't. Why?

500
00:27:43,703 --> 00:27:46,289
I'm not sure we can even be friends.

501
00:27:46,373 --> 00:27:49,376
What do you have against
a good old Christmas tree?

502
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:51,753
Is it the needles? It's the needles, isn't it?

503
00:27:51,836 --> 00:27:53,963
And I get it. I get it.
They're hard to clean up.

504
00:27:54,047 --> 00:27:57,717
You find them six months later, even
after you've vacuumed numerous times.

505
00:27:57,801 --> 00:28:02,013
Or you could get a, uh, fake tree.

506
00:28:02,097 --> 00:28:03,616
They make them
very realistic these days.

507
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,767
You just need a little
pine-scented room spray.

508
00:28:05,850 --> 00:28:10,563
I don't have a problem
with trees, real or fake.

509
00:28:10,647 --> 00:28:14,567
I'm just a busy woman.
I've got work and deadlines.

510
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:18,822
Sellers and buyers,
escrows and closings.

511
00:28:18,905 --> 00:28:21,199
I have work stuff, too,
but I don't let it stop me

512
00:28:21,282 --> 00:28:23,785
from getting a tree
or decorating my apartment

513
00:28:23,868 --> 00:28:26,204
or doing anything Christmas-y.

514
00:28:26,287 --> 00:28:28,206
That's not what I meant.

515
00:28:28,289 --> 00:28:31,626
I don't let them get in the way
of what I want either.

516
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:34,838
Like a tree.

517
00:28:34,921 --> 00:28:37,215
Okay, so does that look mean

518
00:28:37,298 --> 00:28:40,009
that you did leave behind
a holly jolly apartment?

519
00:28:40,093 --> 00:28:44,889
Mistletoe hanging, lights
a-twinkling, garland a-garland-ing.

520
00:28:44,973 --> 00:28:48,810
Okay, I will have you know
that I like Christmas.

521
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:51,521
- I like it very much.
- Hmm. Just ask your tree.

522
00:28:51,604 --> 00:28:53,314
Oh, that's right. You don't have one.

523
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:57,235
Okay, maybe I'll think
about getting a tree,

524
00:28:57,318 --> 00:28:59,571
seeing as I'll be here through Christmas.

525
00:28:59,654 --> 00:29:02,532
No, no. No maybe. This is happening.

526
00:29:02,615 --> 00:29:04,385
You're getting a tree.
I'm gonna call my tree guy.

527
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:07,912
This is very exciting.
I'm very excited about this.

528
00:29:16,921 --> 00:29:19,966
- So what did you think?
- I enjoyed it.

529
00:29:20,049 --> 00:29:21,843
Your friends are great.

530
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:25,764
I forgot how much this town
comes together around Christmas.

531
00:29:25,847 --> 00:29:27,432
- It's inspiring.
- It is.

532
00:29:27,515 --> 00:29:29,058
Selfishly, I admit,

533
00:29:29,142 --> 00:29:31,269
it's been really great to have you back.

534
00:29:31,352 --> 00:29:34,481
And I could use a little more of your help

535
00:29:34,564 --> 00:29:36,649
during donation days this week.

536
00:29:36,733 --> 00:29:40,153
Uh, well, I'd be happy
to help whenever I can...

537
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:45,200
You know what?
I'm gonna make the time.

538
00:29:47,243 --> 00:29:50,663
So, Luke?

539
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:53,082
Looks like the two
of you were having fun.

540
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:55,084
I don't know.

541
00:29:55,168 --> 00:29:57,504
I wouldn't call it fun.

542
00:29:57,587 --> 00:30:01,674
He's different. He seems nice.

543
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:04,219
He's kind of funny and kind of...

544
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:06,888
Cute? Cute.

545
00:30:06,971 --> 00:30:08,848
So tell me about your renovation plans.

546
00:30:08,932 --> 00:30:11,976
Ooh, that was a smooth
transition if I ever heard one.

547
00:30:13,394 --> 00:30:16,189
Okay, well, so for our renovations,

548
00:30:16,272 --> 00:30:18,107
we are planning on busting this wall out.

549
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:19,901
We're gonna extend the kitchen.

550
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:22,111
We're gonna revamp the master bath,

551
00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:24,280
add two bedrooms,
Jack and Jill bath in between,

552
00:30:24,364 --> 00:30:28,701
and then we are going to bump
out the living room into the yard.

553
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:30,119
That's a lot.

554
00:30:30,203 --> 00:30:31,538
Man: Wash up, kids. It's bedtime.

555
00:30:31,621 --> 00:30:33,206
Oh, movie must be over.

556
00:30:33,289 --> 00:30:35,583
Oh, hey, Grace. So good to see you.

557
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:38,103
- It's good to see you, too.
- You've only been here for two days

558
00:30:38,127 --> 00:30:41,130
and my wife already has recruited
you to help with donation days.

559
00:30:41,214 --> 00:30:44,926
I'm happy to help, and it's so
great what the church is doing.

560
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:46,403
We were just talking
about the renovation.

561
00:30:46,427 --> 00:30:48,555
Can't happen fast enough.

562
00:30:48,638 --> 00:30:52,809
Honey, you should see this house
that Grace is selling.

563
00:30:52,892 --> 00:30:56,521
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah. Yeah, the house.

564
00:30:56,604 --> 00:30:58,356
- It is incredible.
- So incredible.

565
00:30:58,439 --> 00:31:00,525
Oh, yeah. I mean, it's a dream house.

566
00:31:00,608 --> 00:31:04,946
The owner has thought of every detail.

567
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:06,948
- Turnkey ready. Yep.
- Turnkey ready.

568
00:31:07,031 --> 00:31:08,366
( Running footsteps, clattering )

569
00:31:08,449 --> 00:31:10,493
- Dad!
- Ah, they're fine.

570
00:31:10,577 --> 00:31:12,036
I don't know how we're gonna make it

571
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,831
through eight months
of construction, babe.

572
00:31:14,914 --> 00:31:19,419
- I know.
- You both have created a really beautiful life here.

573
00:31:19,502 --> 00:31:22,222
Well, I don't know if you would
have said that if you would have seen

574
00:31:22,255 --> 00:31:24,591
the living room ten minutes
before everyone showed up.

575
00:31:24,674 --> 00:31:28,970
Yeah, on a daily, it does triple duty as
a living room, playroom, and my office.

576
00:31:29,053 --> 00:31:31,180
- Sometimes simultaneously.
- Yeah.

577
00:31:31,264 --> 00:31:34,434
That's a lot of pressure
on a room, and both of you.

578
00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:37,770
- Yeah.
- ( children laughing, running footsteps )

579
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:41,399
- ( Clattering )
- Oh, dad duty calls.

580
00:31:41,482 --> 00:31:43,776
- Grace, see you soon.
- I'll see you soon.

581
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:46,195
I tried to help.

582
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,048
- I should probably get going.
- I'll walk you out.

583
00:31:48,072 --> 00:31:49,073
Okay.

584
00:31:52,702 --> 00:31:57,206
I'm just thinking that maybe
you should buy my dream home

585
00:31:57,290 --> 00:31:59,500
and I can live vicariously through you

586
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:01,419
and we can be sort of neighbors.

587
00:32:01,502 --> 00:32:04,797
- That's very funny.
- Or not.

588
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:06,799
Look, I love it here. I do!

589
00:32:06,883 --> 00:32:08,426
But I live in the city,

590
00:32:08,509 --> 00:32:10,136
and I have an apartment and a lease.

591
00:32:10,219 --> 00:32:12,305
I'm pretty sure most leases
end eventually.

592
00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:15,224
Just let me get through Christmas.

593
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:18,019
While you're here, instead of
just getting through Christmas,

594
00:32:18,102 --> 00:32:20,313
why don't you really try
to feel it this year?

595
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,238
- I'll call you tomorrow.
- Okay.

596
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:40,124
( Holiday music playing )

597
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:46,047
- ( Chiming )
- Oh!

598
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:49,467
- Joyce, hi.
- Good morning.

599
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:51,678
I wasn't sure I would catch
you there this early.

600
00:32:51,761 --> 00:32:55,682
Oh, well, it's nice to get a jump
start on the day before it gets busy.

601
00:32:55,765 --> 00:33:01,270
- You know, that's how us managers do it.
- Well, it's suiting you.

602
00:33:01,354 --> 00:33:03,523
I was just checking in
to see how it was all going,

603
00:33:03,606 --> 00:33:06,067
but it looks like you have it
all under control.

604
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:09,070
We do. The team is fantastic.

605
00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,490
And you're right, they are
a high-performance team,

606
00:33:12,573 --> 00:33:14,325
but they still like to have fun.

607
00:33:14,409 --> 00:33:16,285
Couldn't be happier to hear.

608
00:33:16,369 --> 00:33:18,162
Anything else pressing to discuss?

609
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:22,208
Well, I wanted to throw
something out to you.

610
00:33:22,291 --> 00:33:25,503
Look, I know that they
are a high-grossing office,

611
00:33:25,586 --> 00:33:27,880
but, you know, there's always
room to grow, right?

612
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:30,258
Always. Keep talking.

613
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:32,802
I had an idea about the website.

614
00:33:32,885 --> 00:33:36,764
Like, nothing major, just a little refresher.

615
00:33:36,848 --> 00:33:39,726
What if we made the agents
more personable?

616
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:43,646
Maybe add a bio, their likes, hobbies,

617
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:46,733
so that clients can match up
with the perfect agent.

618
00:33:46,816 --> 00:33:49,736
Very little investment for a big payoff.

619
00:33:49,819 --> 00:33:51,320
- Great work, Grace.
- Thank you.

620
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:54,323
I also had one little idea.

621
00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:56,909
Um, I was thinking
that Luke could maybe...

622
00:33:56,993 --> 00:34:02,540
- Luke?
- Well, he's our very talented in-house photographer.

623
00:34:02,623 --> 00:34:06,544
What if he took pictures of the
agents while they're working?

624
00:34:06,627 --> 00:34:09,338
Whether it's them at an open house

625
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:13,092
or them telling a first-time
buyer that they got their house...

626
00:34:13,176 --> 00:34:15,595
These are all great ideas, Grace.

627
00:34:15,678 --> 00:34:19,932
I know you weren't sure about
filling in for this position,

628
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:22,060
but I am very glad you did.

629
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:24,937
Thank you so much
for having faith in me.

630
00:34:25,021 --> 00:34:26,939
I'll get approval from corporate,

631
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:30,359
but I can't imagine them
not agreeing to all this.

632
00:34:30,443 --> 00:34:33,154
- Well done.
- Thanks, Joyce.

633
00:34:33,237 --> 00:34:34,781
I'll talk to you soon.

634
00:34:34,864 --> 00:34:36,866
- Okay, bye.
- ( chiming )

635
00:34:42,455 --> 00:34:46,084
Luke: Front page of the website,
here we come.

636
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:49,962
Nice work.

637
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:52,173
Hey, what are you doing here?

638
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:53,382
Uh, Anna called.

639
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:54,967
She's running a little late,

640
00:34:55,051 --> 00:34:58,387
so she asked me to cover for her.

641
00:34:58,471 --> 00:35:02,600
That's really sweet, taking
Christmas pictures for the website.

642
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:05,895
Well, my dad always said the
most valuable thing we have is time,

643
00:35:05,978 --> 00:35:09,065
so I like to give a little
to people, you know?

644
00:35:09,148 --> 00:35:11,984
Have you always loved photography?

645
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:14,821
Yeah, yeah, since I was eleven.

646
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:16,614
My grandpa got me hooked.

647
00:35:16,697 --> 00:35:19,200
He was an amazing photographer.

648
00:35:19,283 --> 00:35:21,410
He could see completely different things

649
00:35:21,494 --> 00:35:23,287
through his lens
than I could through mine.

650
00:35:23,371 --> 00:35:24,371
What do you mean?

651
00:35:24,413 --> 00:35:29,001
Okay, uh, close your eyes.

652
00:35:29,085 --> 00:35:34,799
Now picture a beautiful scene
of snow-covered mountains,

653
00:35:34,882 --> 00:35:40,471
flurries lightly falling over pine trees,

654
00:35:40,555 --> 00:35:43,224
pine trees that are so tall

655
00:35:43,307 --> 00:35:45,434
they look like they're touching a gray sky,

656
00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:49,230
which even though it's nighttime,

657
00:35:49,313 --> 00:35:52,650
still looks like it's glowing.

658
00:35:52,733 --> 00:35:55,027
Okay, now what do you see
when you take that picture?

659
00:35:55,111 --> 00:35:58,739
- Can I open my eyes?
- Yeah, yeah, open... open your eyes.

660
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:03,452
Um, I see snow-covered mountains.

661
00:36:03,536 --> 00:36:07,874
- Mm-hmm.
- The dark sky and pine trees.

662
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:09,917
- Okay, nice.
- Why?

663
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:13,671
Well, my grandfather would have
seen the spotted baby deer

664
00:36:13,754 --> 00:36:16,048
with its mother in between those trees

665
00:36:16,132 --> 00:36:18,467
eating brush
that wasn't covered by snow.

666
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:21,470
- That's beautiful.
- That's photography.

667
00:36:21,554 --> 00:36:24,891
But it's not always beautiful.

668
00:36:24,974 --> 00:36:27,268
I mean, I got my start
in commercial photography.

669
00:36:27,351 --> 00:36:29,187
It pays well, you get to travel a lot,

670
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:31,981
but there's not a lot
of heart in it, you know?

671
00:36:32,064 --> 00:36:35,484
You wanted to see the baby deer.

672
00:36:35,568 --> 00:36:38,905
Yeah. How about you?

673
00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:40,508
What is it about real estate you love?

674
00:36:40,573 --> 00:36:45,328
Honestly, the people.

675
00:36:45,411 --> 00:36:49,498
Getting to help them find a place

676
00:36:49,582 --> 00:36:54,086
for their lives, their future,

677
00:36:54,170 --> 00:36:56,005
somewhere where they belong.

678
00:36:57,924 --> 00:37:00,301
The home I show them could be

679
00:37:00,384 --> 00:37:02,845
where they get to bring
their firstborn home

680
00:37:02,929 --> 00:37:07,308
or years later celebrate
their 50th wedding anniversary.

681
00:37:07,391 --> 00:37:08,476
I... I don't know.

682
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,562
That is so sweet.

683
00:37:27,036 --> 00:37:30,748
( Phone ringing )

684
00:37:30,831 --> 00:37:33,751
- Hi!
- Luke: I thought you should be introduced

685
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:36,712
to what is quite possibly
the best pizza in the area.

686
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:41,717
Well, I'm pretty sure it's
the only pizza within 30 miles.

687
00:37:41,801 --> 00:37:45,763
- Exactly.
- Thank you.

688
00:37:51,644 --> 00:37:54,063
I'm impressed. Your Christmas decor,

689
00:37:54,146 --> 00:37:56,148
I love what you've done with the place.

690
00:37:56,232 --> 00:37:58,609
Ha, ha, very funny.

691
00:37:58,693 --> 00:38:01,153
You know it was already like this.

692
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:04,699
- I'm more understated.
- Noted.

693
00:38:04,782 --> 00:38:07,576
However, if you are planning on
spending Christmas in Evergreen Falls,

694
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:09,787
it's mandatory
that you spruce up your house.

695
00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:11,789
Luckily, I'm available to help.

696
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:15,084
That's very nice of you,
but it's not necessary.

697
00:38:17,878 --> 00:38:21,590
- Okay, we'll spruce.
- Well, that was close.

698
00:38:21,674 --> 00:38:23,634
You almost got coal
in your stocking this year.

699
00:38:23,718 --> 00:38:25,094
Because I didn't want to decorate?

700
00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:26,929
We take Christmas very seriously here.

701
00:38:27,013 --> 00:38:28,180
I know.

702
00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:30,141
I grew up in Evergreen Falls.

703
00:38:30,224 --> 00:38:33,352
Really? When did you leave?

704
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:36,188
When I was 18. I went off to college,

705
00:38:36,272 --> 00:38:40,526
and then my parents sold their
house and started traveling.

706
00:38:40,609 --> 00:38:43,696
It was actually right
before this pizzeria opened up.

707
00:38:46,032 --> 00:38:47,783
What?

708
00:38:47,867 --> 00:38:50,036
I was just thinking how funny life is.

709
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:53,331
I came here right after this place opened.

710
00:38:53,414 --> 00:38:55,041
We just missed each other.

711
00:38:56,625 --> 00:39:01,047
I'm happy that you're here now.

712
00:39:02,506 --> 00:39:04,300
Me, too.

713
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:06,052
( Phone ringing )

714
00:39:06,135 --> 00:39:10,431
- Sorry.
- No, go ahead.

715
00:39:10,514 --> 00:39:11,891
Hey, Anna, what's up?

716
00:39:11,974 --> 00:39:13,517
Anna: I just had to call.

717
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:15,120
Noah is totally open to the farmhouse.

718
00:39:15,144 --> 00:39:17,063
- No way.
- He said he's on board.

719
00:39:17,146 --> 00:39:18,731
- He did?
- He said he'll come see it.

720
00:39:18,814 --> 00:39:20,649
- He will?
- Yes, he will!

721
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:24,070
Okay. Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

722
00:39:24,153 --> 00:39:27,573
- Okay, I can't wait.
- Noah is going to love it.

723
00:39:27,656 --> 00:39:30,326
- He really is. Bye.
- Okay, bye.

724
00:39:30,409 --> 00:39:35,414
We may have found a buyer
for the farmhouse after all.

725
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:39,460
To possibilities.

726
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:41,170
To Christmas.

727
00:39:43,089 --> 00:39:44,673
Well, I personally know the buyer,

728
00:39:44,757 --> 00:39:47,009
and they are a wonderful family.

729
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:49,303
Did you look over their offer?

730
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:54,600
You're gonna accept?
That is the best news.

731
00:39:54,683 --> 00:39:57,061
You are going to make their Christmas.

732
00:39:57,144 --> 00:39:59,772
Yes. Okay, Merry Christmas.

733
00:40:00,856 --> 00:40:01,941
Yes.

734
00:40:02,024 --> 00:40:03,109
We can just email...

735
00:40:03,192 --> 00:40:04,402
- Hey!
- Both: Morning!

736
00:40:04,485 --> 00:40:06,278
Hey, how did Noah like the house?

737
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,489
Uh, where are those bell thingies?

738
00:40:08,572 --> 00:40:11,283
There they are.

739
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,828
Noah loved the house.

740
00:40:13,911 --> 00:40:15,287
They accepted the offer!

741
00:40:15,371 --> 00:40:17,498
- No way!
- Amazing!

742
00:40:17,581 --> 00:40:19,708
Congratulations, Grace.

743
00:40:19,792 --> 00:40:22,670
Is it okay if I go tell Anna
and Noah right now?

744
00:40:22,753 --> 00:40:25,214
You're the boss.
You can do whatever you want.

745
00:40:25,297 --> 00:40:28,509
You're right. I guess I am.

746
00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:30,928
Okay, I'll be back soon.

747
00:40:31,011 --> 00:40:32,972
Or maybe I won't.

748
00:40:33,055 --> 00:40:35,224
Just kidding. I'll be back in an hour.

749
00:40:41,021 --> 00:40:44,066
Luke, thank you so much for doing this.

750
00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:45,502
Are you kidding? This is a great idea.

751
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:48,028
- Ready when you are.
- Let's go.

752
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:51,782
Anna?

753
00:40:51,866 --> 00:40:52,908
- Hey.
- Hey.

754
00:40:52,992 --> 00:40:54,201
What are you guys doing here?

755
00:40:56,328 --> 00:40:57,621
Um...

756
00:40:57,705 --> 00:41:00,040
They countered, didn't they?

757
00:41:02,751 --> 00:41:04,670
They accepted your offer!

758
00:41:04,753 --> 00:41:06,255
- What?
- Yes!

759
00:41:06,338 --> 00:41:07,840
- We got the house?
- Yes!

760
00:41:09,675 --> 00:41:11,760
- I can't believe it!
- Me either!

761
00:41:11,844 --> 00:41:13,345
No more renovations for months!

762
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:15,764
No more kids in my office?

763
00:41:15,848 --> 00:41:18,058
We can't thank you enough.

764
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:22,605
Oh, I appreciate that, but I had
nothing to do with it. It was meant to be.

765
00:41:22,688 --> 00:41:25,191
- We got to go tell the kids.
- Let's go.

766
00:41:25,274 --> 00:41:28,194
- Thank you!
- Come on, come on, come on! Let's go!

767
00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:31,614
( Sighs ) - Pretty sure
you just made their day.

768
00:41:31,697 --> 00:41:36,827
I didn't do anything. I was just at
the listing and Anna stopped to say hi.

769
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:40,539
- Hmm. Meant to be.
- Yeah.

770
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:46,378
Well, I guess I have to find
someone to buy this house now.

771
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:50,591
- Want to go get some lunch?
- Uh...

772
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:53,761
I should probably get back to
the office and get this listing live.

773
00:41:53,844 --> 00:41:56,138
Of course. Much more important.

774
00:41:56,222 --> 00:41:59,016
I'll email the photos of the
house over to you when I can.

775
00:41:59,099 --> 00:42:01,602
Great idea.

776
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:03,765
- Hey, are you gonna...
- Hey, are you gonna go to...

777
00:42:04,313 --> 00:42:07,608
- You.
- You go. Go.

778
00:42:07,691 --> 00:42:10,361
Will you be at the church later?

779
00:42:10,444 --> 00:42:12,821
Christmas Cans Of Love?
I wouldn't miss it.

780
00:42:12,905 --> 00:42:14,865
I'll get the shots and see you there.

781
00:42:14,949 --> 00:42:16,700
Okay. I'll see you there.

782
00:42:32,132 --> 00:42:34,426
"Christmas Cans Of Love.

783
00:42:34,510 --> 00:42:36,512
Ho, ho, ho, Kendall.

784
00:42:36,595 --> 00:42:38,722
P.S. Look under box."

785
00:42:48,357 --> 00:42:49,858
"Just in case you're interested,

786
00:42:49,942 --> 00:42:51,694
it looks like your interim position

787
00:42:51,777 --> 00:42:53,737
just became a permanent one.

788
00:42:53,821 --> 00:42:57,283
Evergreen Falls Realty now
seeking immediate replacement

789
00:42:57,366 --> 00:43:03,080
for qualified manager to oversee
a high performing realtor office.

790
00:43:03,163 --> 00:43:05,165
"Manager experience necessary."

791
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:29,773
Manager experience necessary.

792
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:48,125
Sorry, I'm a few minutes late.

793
00:43:48,208 --> 00:43:49,918
Oh, hey. You're perfectly on time.

794
00:43:50,002 --> 00:43:51,962
You can drop it right there.

795
00:43:52,046 --> 00:43:55,215
Oh, I can't stop smiling. I'm so excited!

796
00:43:55,299 --> 00:43:57,509
I am so excited for you guys.

797
00:43:57,593 --> 00:43:59,428
What did you do
to change Noah's mind?

798
00:43:59,511 --> 00:44:02,514
You know, what's weird?
I didn't do anything.

799
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:04,516
I feel like something
just changed within him

800
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,143
when we were looking around the house.

801
00:44:06,226 --> 00:44:08,687
Well, he also knew it
would make you happy.

802
00:44:08,771 --> 00:44:10,022
Well, there is that.

803
00:44:10,105 --> 00:44:12,274
But you know what I think?

804
00:44:12,358 --> 00:44:14,693
I think he just kind of
needed some new adventure.

805
00:44:14,777 --> 00:44:17,446
Maybe you can relate?

806
00:44:19,448 --> 00:44:23,035
I'm serious. Why aren't you arguing?

807
00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:26,747
No reason.

808
00:44:26,830 --> 00:44:29,541
Okay, well, I can do this
all day until you tell me.

809
00:44:29,625 --> 00:44:31,385
Because you know us old friends,
we just know

810
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:32,979
when the other one's
hiding something from us.

811
00:44:33,003 --> 00:44:37,383
It's nothing. Really!

812
00:44:37,466 --> 00:44:40,761
I just found out that the person
I'm filling in for

813
00:44:40,844 --> 00:44:43,389
might not be returning.

814
00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:45,766
They're looking for a replacement.

815
00:44:45,849 --> 00:44:47,768
- And they asked you?
- Uh, no.

816
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:49,978
They wouldn't want me.
You know, they're looking

817
00:44:50,062 --> 00:44:52,856
for competent applicants
with managerial experience,

818
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:54,942
and that wouldn't be me.

819
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:57,444
Okay, well, you do know
that you have to apply, right?

820
00:44:57,528 --> 00:44:59,780
Like, you at least have to consider it.

821
00:44:59,863 --> 00:45:05,202
I will. Just promise me
you won't say anything, okay?

822
00:45:05,285 --> 00:45:07,329
I need to sit with this for a bit.

823
00:45:07,413 --> 00:45:09,998
I would never. Never!

824
00:45:10,082 --> 00:45:14,211
Hey! Guess who might be moving
back to Evergreen Falls?

825
00:45:14,294 --> 00:45:16,380
- Grace!
- What did we just say?

826
00:45:16,463 --> 00:45:17,923
Hey, how long have you known me for?

827
00:45:18,006 --> 00:45:20,217
- I can't keep a secret.
- ( phone ringing )

828
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:22,094
- Excuse me.
- ( ringing continues )

829
00:45:24,304 --> 00:45:25,889
I'll be right back.

830
00:45:27,516 --> 00:45:28,934
Are you serious? She's staying?

831
00:45:29,017 --> 00:45:31,812
I don't know what you're talking about.

832
00:45:31,895 --> 00:45:35,816
- Hey, Mom. Any news?
- Well, no good news.

833
00:45:35,899 --> 00:45:38,819
The snow is really piling up,
and even if we can get out,

834
00:45:38,902 --> 00:45:41,363
there are so many people here in need.

835
00:45:41,447 --> 00:45:44,825
No, Mom, you can't leave
everyone without care.

836
00:45:44,908 --> 00:45:46,094
We are trying so hard to get to you.

837
00:45:46,118 --> 00:45:47,661
I know you're trying.

838
00:45:47,745 --> 00:45:50,247
- I have hope.
- We're so disappointed.

839
00:45:50,330 --> 00:45:52,624
We really want to be there with you.

840
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:56,837
Look, and if it doesn't work
out, don't worry about me.

841
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,840
- I'll be fine.
- Thank you for understanding.

842
00:45:59,923 --> 00:46:01,467
- I love you.
- I love you, too.

843
00:46:01,550 --> 00:46:02,968
Okay, we'll see you soon, honey.

844
00:46:03,051 --> 00:46:05,929
- Okay. Bye, Mom.
- Bye-bye.

845
00:46:15,564 --> 00:46:16,857
- Hi.
- Hey.

846
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:18,984
- Mind if I sit?
- Not at all.

847
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,370
I forgot how beautiful this church is.

848
00:46:32,581 --> 00:46:34,625
You take it for granted when you're a kid.

849
00:46:34,708 --> 00:46:38,003
Me and my parents
would come here every Sunday.

850
00:46:39,755 --> 00:46:43,592
I think we sat in
the third row from the front.

851
00:46:46,094 --> 00:46:47,596
That was your parents on the phone?

852
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:50,682
Yeah.

853
00:46:50,766 --> 00:46:52,893
They still can't get out?

854
00:46:52,976 --> 00:46:56,605
They can, but now the relief
team can't get to them.

855
00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:03,320
I've been alone for a lot of
Christmases since they moved away,

856
00:47:03,403 --> 00:47:07,616
and I'm really proud of my
parents and what they're doing.

857
00:47:10,285 --> 00:47:12,955
I was just really looking
forward to seeing them this year.

858
00:47:15,624 --> 00:47:19,211
Being here just makes me

859
00:47:19,294 --> 00:47:21,922
miss them even more than usual.

860
00:47:22,005 --> 00:47:25,133
You're allowed to feel
both proud of your parents

861
00:47:25,217 --> 00:47:27,386
and disappointed
at the same time, you know?

862
00:47:27,469 --> 00:47:30,556
- Multiple feelings?
- Yeah.

863
00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:32,349
- At the same time?
- Yeah.

864
00:47:32,432 --> 00:47:34,351
- ( laughs )
- No, thank you.

865
00:47:40,649 --> 00:47:43,151
What?

866
00:47:43,235 --> 00:47:47,239
I have an idea that
I think will cheer you up.

867
00:47:49,241 --> 00:47:50,659
Do you trust me?

868
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:02,588
Hello? Delivery!

869
00:48:02,671 --> 00:48:07,384
Hello? Christmas delivery
for Grace Sawyer!

870
00:48:07,467 --> 00:48:09,011
Does Grace Sawyer live here?

871
00:48:11,847 --> 00:48:14,391
Hey, I said if you're
staying for Christmas,

872
00:48:14,474 --> 00:48:16,768
you are getting the full
Christmas experience.

873
00:48:16,852 --> 00:48:20,480
All right, well you
and Santa can come on in.

874
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:27,195
- Almost full.
- Luke: Yeah. Last one.

875
00:48:27,279 --> 00:48:28,488
Grace: Ah.

876
00:48:29,948 --> 00:48:33,118
- Ha! Perfect.
- Perfect.

877
00:48:33,201 --> 00:48:34,512
Hey, did you ever try
to convince your parents

878
00:48:34,536 --> 00:48:35,847
to get the biggest tree on the lot?

879
00:48:35,871 --> 00:48:38,290
- Oh, every year.
- Same.

880
00:48:38,373 --> 00:48:41,710
My mom, she would pick
the saddest one.

881
00:48:41,793 --> 00:48:43,503
Tell us we needed to get
the underdog tree,

882
00:48:43,587 --> 00:48:45,422
take it home, give it some love,

883
00:48:45,505 --> 00:48:49,051
because it was counting on us
to make a difference.

884
00:48:49,134 --> 00:48:51,303
- That is so sweet.
- Yeah, you say that,

885
00:48:51,386 --> 00:48:54,556
and then one year we ended up
with a tree with five branches.

886
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,644
- No. Really?
- Yeah. But my mom made it beautiful anyway.

887
00:48:58,727 --> 00:49:02,648
She made special ornaments,
paper snowflakes,

888
00:49:02,731 --> 00:49:05,233
popcorn garland, little twinkle lights.

889
00:49:05,317 --> 00:49:09,029
She even glued glitter all
over bows and threw it on there.

890
00:49:09,112 --> 00:49:13,951
And then she'd turn out all the lights
except for the Christmas tree ones and say,

891
00:49:14,034 --> 00:49:17,663
"See? When you look at the world
through a Christmas lens,

892
00:49:17,746 --> 00:49:20,582
you will always see the good
hiding in life."

893
00:49:20,666 --> 00:49:25,128
- Your mom sounds amazing.
- She was.

894
00:49:27,547 --> 00:49:29,758
Yeah, we lost her a couple years ago.

895
00:49:31,343 --> 00:49:34,054
But I always think about what she said.

896
00:49:34,137 --> 00:49:36,348
It's probably why I stuck
with photography.

897
00:49:42,938 --> 00:49:45,023
How about this tree, though?

898
00:49:45,107 --> 00:49:47,859
Does this remind you
of the trees of your youth?

899
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:52,072
Uh, no. We were more of
a colored light kind of family.

900
00:49:52,155 --> 00:49:56,702
- Oh!
- But I, uh... I like this.

901
00:49:56,785 --> 00:49:59,496
It represents new things.

902
00:49:59,579 --> 00:50:02,249
- I'm in a new town.
- New house.

903
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:05,627
- With new friends.
- New job.

904
00:50:05,711 --> 00:50:08,088
Right. New job.

905
00:50:08,171 --> 00:50:13,093
- At least temporarily, anyway.
- Hmm.

906
00:50:15,387 --> 00:50:16,596
I love this.

907
00:50:19,391 --> 00:50:23,603
I can feel the magic and the wonder.

908
00:50:47,419 --> 00:50:50,839
- Everything okay?
- Pamela: Couldn't be better.

909
00:50:52,424 --> 00:50:54,176
Okay.

910
00:50:54,259 --> 00:50:57,345
I left you a note about
the position opening up.

911
00:50:57,429 --> 00:50:59,598
I think I saw that.

912
00:50:59,681 --> 00:51:02,642
Has anyone from corporate
contacted you yet about staying?

913
00:51:02,726 --> 00:51:05,937
No. They, um, they haven't.

914
00:51:06,021 --> 00:51:11,026
But, you know, it's Christmas.
Things get slow.

915
00:51:11,109 --> 00:51:13,528
From what we hear,
they're moving pretty quickly.

916
00:51:13,612 --> 00:51:16,948
On behalf of everyone here,
we think you should at least apply.

917
00:51:17,032 --> 00:51:20,452
But only if you want to.
And we really hope you do.

918
00:51:20,535 --> 00:51:26,374
I appreciate you two, but it's hard for
me to even think about leaving the city.

919
00:51:26,458 --> 00:51:29,377
- I have my whole life there.
- We understand.

920
00:51:29,461 --> 00:51:31,379
We just wanted you to know.

921
00:51:31,463 --> 00:51:33,715
We'd be really lucky to have
you as our new manager.

922
00:51:34,883 --> 00:51:38,595
Thank you. Both of you.

923
00:51:38,678 --> 00:51:41,056
I really loved working with you.

924
00:51:42,349 --> 00:51:46,812
Hey, I haven't gone anywhere yet.

925
00:51:46,895 --> 00:51:49,481
Not until Santa
comes down the chimney.

926
00:51:49,564 --> 00:51:51,900
- All right.
- Okay.

927
00:52:06,915 --> 00:52:09,417
( line ringing )

928
00:52:09,501 --> 00:52:11,628
- Anna: Hello?
- Hey, Anna.

929
00:52:11,711 --> 00:52:13,797
- Are you still at the church?
- Hey, Grace.

930
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,715
Yeah, I'm still here getting things ready.

931
00:52:15,799 --> 00:52:17,902
- Great.
- You can just take these ones right over there.

932
00:52:17,926 --> 00:52:19,845
Thank you so much.

933
00:52:19,928 --> 00:52:22,013
- Hey!
- Hi.

934
00:52:22,097 --> 00:52:24,015
So, what donation day is this for?

935
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:26,852
This is for the Tidings
Of Comfort And Clean.

936
00:52:26,935 --> 00:52:29,646
So, in every bag,
we've got a razor, comb,

937
00:52:29,729 --> 00:52:32,649
toothpaste, toothbrush,
hand sanitizer, and bar of soap.

938
00:52:32,732 --> 00:52:35,443
- Evergreen scent, of course.
- Anna, this is amazing.

939
00:52:35,527 --> 00:52:37,195
You're helping so many people in need.

940
00:52:37,279 --> 00:52:40,323
Oh. Well, so are you. You know why?

941
00:52:40,407 --> 00:52:42,409
Because you're gonna help me finish up.

942
00:52:42,492 --> 00:52:44,887
We just need to put some bows
on these bags and we are all good.

943
00:52:44,911 --> 00:52:48,748
Oh, the pictures that Luke took
of your house turned out great.

944
00:52:48,832 --> 00:52:51,512
I have everything written out,
and your house will be live by today.

945
00:52:51,585 --> 00:52:54,629
Awesome. I think Noah's
actually more excited than I am.

946
00:52:54,713 --> 00:52:56,840
Oh, well, I can help you pack if you want.

947
00:52:56,923 --> 00:53:02,053
- Okay.
- You know who I ran into?

948
00:53:02,137 --> 00:53:05,223
Remember our old Sunday school
teacher Mrs. Campbell?

949
00:53:05,307 --> 00:53:06,933
She owns my favorite house.

950
00:53:07,017 --> 00:53:09,120
Remember the one we used
to walk by when we were kids?

951
00:53:09,144 --> 00:53:10,854
Yes, the one that's like a castle.

952
00:53:10,937 --> 00:53:12,689
You should see the woodwork
in that place,

953
00:53:12,772 --> 00:53:15,400
and the stained glass, and the wallpaper.

954
00:53:15,483 --> 00:53:17,861
It's so colorful. Apparently,
her mom picked it out.

955
00:53:17,944 --> 00:53:21,281
I heard that they've had it
in the family since the 1800s.

956
00:53:21,364 --> 00:53:25,285
Mrs. Campbell just gave me a tour of
the entire place, and I just walked around,

957
00:53:25,368 --> 00:53:28,705
and I think there's even,
like, six fireplaces, too.

958
00:53:28,788 --> 00:53:32,709
It is absolutely breathtaking.

959
00:53:32,792 --> 00:53:36,796
Is that so? Why are you really here?

960
00:53:38,798 --> 00:53:42,093
- I'm helping.
- Hmm.

961
00:53:42,177 --> 00:53:43,487
Okay, well that's funny,
because you didn't know

962
00:53:43,511 --> 00:53:44,906
what I was doing until you showed up,

963
00:53:44,930 --> 00:53:46,370
and everything that you just told me

964
00:53:46,431 --> 00:53:49,809
could have been sent in a text,
and you know it.

965
00:53:52,812 --> 00:53:58,109
I don't know. I guess...

966
00:53:58,193 --> 00:54:01,738
I thought I was just coming out
here for a quick work trip.

967
00:54:01,821 --> 00:54:04,658
You know, see you, impress
my boss, and then go back home.

968
00:54:04,741 --> 00:54:07,244
Not seeing a problem with that so far.

969
00:54:07,327 --> 00:54:08,954
It's just, you know me.

970
00:54:09,037 --> 00:54:11,122
I don't like to deviate from a plan.

971
00:54:11,206 --> 00:54:15,752
But the more time I spend here,

972
00:54:15,835 --> 00:54:18,421
the more I want to stay here.

973
00:54:18,505 --> 00:54:22,342
- Still not seeing a problem.
- I just...

974
00:54:22,425 --> 00:54:25,762
I guess I'm just scared
of putting myself out there.

975
00:54:25,845 --> 00:54:31,142
You know, professionally and personally.

976
00:54:31,226 --> 00:54:34,771
How I see it,
you've got two choices, okay?

977
00:54:34,854 --> 00:54:36,564
You can continue going down this path

978
00:54:36,648 --> 00:54:38,984
that you've been going down
your entire life

979
00:54:39,067 --> 00:54:43,363
or you can stop being afraid
of being hurt again

980
00:54:43,446 --> 00:54:47,993
in your career, in love, all of it.

981
00:54:48,076 --> 00:54:51,538
You know, you make it really hard for me
to argue with you when you're always right.

982
00:54:51,621 --> 00:54:54,332
Yeah. Try telling Noah that.

983
00:54:55,875 --> 00:54:58,586
You know, when we first
found this house,

984
00:54:58,670 --> 00:55:02,799
I was expecting baby number one,
and, I mean, it was a lot.

985
00:55:02,882 --> 00:55:06,386
- I was scared, too.
- I thought you were still in the apartment when you had Jack.

986
00:55:06,469 --> 00:55:09,097
No, it was actually this time of year.

987
00:55:09,180 --> 00:55:11,808
Yeah, they had this beautiful
nativity scene in the house.

988
00:55:11,891 --> 00:55:15,020
I just fell in love with it, and they
ended up leaving it behind for us,

989
00:55:15,103 --> 00:55:17,397
along with this really
sweet note congratulating us

990
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,026
on our new starter home
and baby on the way.

991
00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:24,029
Yeah.

992
00:55:24,112 --> 00:55:26,823
Starter home and baby on the way.

993
00:55:26,906 --> 00:55:27,991
( Gasps )

994
00:55:28,074 --> 00:55:30,201
That's it! Oh!

995
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,412
- Oh.
- ( laughs )

996
00:55:32,495 --> 00:55:34,956
I will call you later. You are brilliant.

997
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,210
Okay. I'm a genius.

998
00:55:39,294 --> 00:55:41,296
( No audible dialogue )

999
00:55:43,506 --> 00:55:45,633
I think we figured out the numbers.

1000
00:55:45,717 --> 00:55:47,135
This is great.

1001
00:55:47,218 --> 00:55:49,929
Well, I'll call them right now.
Thanks so much.

1002
00:55:54,476 --> 00:55:58,146
Mitchell! Hi, there.

1003
00:55:58,229 --> 00:56:00,857
It's Grace Sawyer, the realtor
you met at the open house.

1004
00:56:00,940 --> 00:56:03,860
Yes. Listen, I know that you and Marcie

1005
00:56:03,943 --> 00:56:05,987
are probably busy with the holidays,

1006
00:56:06,071 --> 00:56:10,241
but I was wondering if you
had a few minutes to meet me.

1007
00:56:10,325 --> 00:56:14,162
I may have found the perfect
starter home for you.

1008
00:56:16,164 --> 00:56:18,875
Great. How's tomorrow?

1009
00:56:18,958 --> 00:56:21,127
I will send over the details.

1010
00:56:21,211 --> 00:56:23,171
Okay. Bye-bye.

1011
00:56:25,757 --> 00:56:28,760
- Was that the Chans?
- I'm going to show them Noah and Anna's house.

1012
00:56:28,843 --> 00:56:30,929
I think it's the perfect fit.

1013
00:56:31,012 --> 00:56:33,890
One more sale will put us over
the top to win the Golden Key Award.

1014
00:56:33,973 --> 00:56:35,659
'Tis the season for anything
to happen, right?

1015
00:56:35,683 --> 00:56:36,935
- Yeah.
- ( phone ringing )

1016
00:56:37,018 --> 00:56:39,062
- Oh, excuse me.
- Take that, take that.

1017
00:56:39,145 --> 00:56:40,563
This is Grace.

1018
00:56:42,107 --> 00:56:44,109
Mrs. Campbell!

1019
00:56:45,193 --> 00:56:47,487
Really?

1020
00:56:47,570 --> 00:56:49,906
Well, that's great.

1021
00:56:49,989 --> 00:56:55,120
Okay. Do you mind if I bring
my photographer with me?

1022
00:56:55,203 --> 00:56:56,996
Wonderful. I'll see you soon.

1023
00:57:06,589 --> 00:57:10,009
- It's beautiful, isn't it?
- It sure is.

1024
00:57:26,234 --> 00:57:27,586
You know, I used to look at this place

1025
00:57:27,610 --> 00:57:29,612
the same way you two are now.

1026
00:57:29,696 --> 00:57:32,157
Every time I see it, I just...

1027
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,826
I don't know, I feel better.

1028
00:57:37,412 --> 00:57:39,247
That probably sounds funny.

1029
00:57:39,330 --> 00:57:40,957
Not to me, it doesn't.

1030
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,543
Trish Campbell.
Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you.

1031
00:57:43,626 --> 00:57:45,020
- Luke Davies. Nice to meet you.
- Mm-hmm.

1032
00:57:45,044 --> 00:57:46,754
Luke is our photographer.

1033
00:57:46,838 --> 00:57:49,174
I can't tell you how excited I am

1034
00:57:49,257 --> 00:57:51,759
to help you find the perfect
buyer for your home.

1035
00:57:51,843 --> 00:57:53,344
I already have the paperwork drawn up

1036
00:57:53,428 --> 00:57:55,346
and I can have the listing live by tonight.

1037
00:57:55,430 --> 00:57:57,182
Oh, thank you.

1038
00:57:57,265 --> 00:57:58,826
You know, we might be hearing
from companies

1039
00:57:58,850 --> 00:58:01,561
looking primarily at the property value.

1040
00:58:01,644 --> 00:58:03,938
I've already had a few inquiries
about that so far.

1041
00:58:04,022 --> 00:58:05,565
Well, don't worry.

1042
00:58:05,648 --> 00:58:07,376
I'll be sure to say
that you're not interested

1043
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,777
in selling for land value.

1044
00:58:09,861 --> 00:58:12,197
My wish is to have a family in this home

1045
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,282
who loves it as much as we do.

1046
00:58:14,365 --> 00:58:16,951
My sisters, however,
they have their sights set

1047
00:58:17,035 --> 00:58:20,997
on that fancy retirement
community with the pickleball courts.

1048
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,792
That said, we're open to
reviewing any and all offers.

1049
00:58:24,876 --> 00:58:27,795
I understand.

1050
00:58:27,879 --> 00:58:30,590
Would it be okay if we walked
around and started taking some photos?

1051
00:58:30,673 --> 00:58:32,383
Oh, please, make yourself at home.

1052
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:34,093
Okay, thank you.

1053
00:58:37,722 --> 00:58:39,807
Let's start with the stained glass?

1054
00:58:39,891 --> 00:58:41,100
Yeah.

1055
00:58:43,686 --> 00:58:47,815
This house, every room
tells a different story.

1056
00:58:47,899 --> 00:58:51,694
( Shutter clicking )

1057
00:58:52,695 --> 00:58:54,405
I'm sure it'll sell fast.

1058
00:58:54,489 --> 00:58:57,033
Me, too.

1059
00:58:57,116 --> 00:59:00,828
Hopefully, they won't consider
any developers' offers.

1060
00:59:00,912 --> 00:59:04,415
We've had a few come to town
and just destroy houses like this.

1061
00:59:04,499 --> 00:59:07,627
I agree. But unfortunately,

1062
00:59:07,710 --> 00:59:10,046
I have a professional obligation to sell it

1063
00:59:10,129 --> 00:59:12,882
whether or not I agree with who buys it.

1064
00:59:12,966 --> 00:59:16,261
I remember what you told me
when we were at the church.

1065
00:59:16,344 --> 00:59:21,641
I was taking Christmas pictures and you
said you help people find where they belong,

1066
00:59:21,724 --> 00:59:23,351
show them a future.

1067
00:59:26,521 --> 00:59:31,859
I wonder if you can do that for this place,

1068
00:59:31,943 --> 00:59:33,361
find its future.

1069
00:59:41,953 --> 00:59:44,455
- Very nice.
- Oh, stop.

1070
00:59:44,539 --> 00:59:46,165
Here, let me show you the living room.

1071
00:59:49,961 --> 00:59:52,880
Well, the school area here is fantastic.

1072
00:59:52,964 --> 00:59:56,092
Great neighbors and a great location.

1073
00:59:56,175 --> 00:59:58,469
This is such a charming neighborhood.

1074
00:59:58,553 --> 01:00:00,346
It looks exactly like the pictures.

1075
01:00:00,430 --> 01:00:03,141
Oh, wait till you see inside.
It is the perfect home for you.

1076
01:00:03,224 --> 01:00:07,228
Look what I found. Isn't this the
hat you wore on our first date?

1077
01:00:07,312 --> 01:00:11,566
- Yes. Doesn't that feel like it was yesterday?
- I'm so romantic.

1078
01:00:11,649 --> 01:00:15,111
Oh, look! It's the owners.

1079
01:00:15,194 --> 01:00:19,907
Anna, Noah, this is Mitchell and Marcie.

1080
01:00:19,991 --> 01:00:22,201
- Hi.
- Hi.

1081
01:00:22,285 --> 01:00:26,998
Uh, why don't you two go and take a
look around, make yourself at home?

1082
01:00:27,081 --> 01:00:30,585
Enjoy this very,
very lived-in starter home.

1083
01:00:32,587 --> 01:00:35,340
Yeah, enjoy. I thought you said
you were coming on Thursday!

1084
01:00:35,423 --> 01:00:38,426
- It is Thursday. Yes!
- It's Thursday?

1085
01:00:38,509 --> 01:00:39,987
We dropped the kids off at my parents'

1086
01:00:40,011 --> 01:00:41,721
and we've been packing all night.

1087
01:00:41,804 --> 01:00:44,432
Maybe they'll just see past the chaos.

1088
01:00:44,515 --> 01:00:45,808
Okay. Just go, go, go, go, go.

1089
01:00:45,892 --> 01:00:50,021
- Okay. Okay.
- Come on. Come on!

1090
01:00:53,608 --> 01:00:54,651
So?

1091
01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:56,361
Thank you for your time.

1092
01:00:56,444 --> 01:00:57,945
We've seen all we needed to see.

1093
01:00:58,029 --> 01:00:59,739
Of course.

1094
01:00:59,822 --> 01:01:01,662
We'd like to make an offer
of the asking price.

1095
01:01:04,243 --> 01:01:06,537
- What?
- You were right, Grace.

1096
01:01:06,621 --> 01:01:08,373
We see our future here.

1097
01:01:08,456 --> 01:01:12,168
The future Christmases,
the homemade decorations,

1098
01:01:12,251 --> 01:01:13,503
even the mess.

1099
01:01:13,586 --> 01:01:16,172
It shows us how much joy lives here.

1100
01:01:16,255 --> 01:01:21,386
That's... that's wonderful.

1101
01:01:21,469 --> 01:01:24,972
Well, I will go back to the
office and start the paperwork.

1102
01:01:25,056 --> 01:01:27,725
Thank you for really
listening to us, Grace.

1103
01:01:30,853 --> 01:01:32,939
Well, after you.

1104
01:01:47,161 --> 01:01:51,582
- Well, how'd it go?
- Sorry, team. I tried.

1105
01:01:51,666 --> 01:01:53,793
Hey, none of that.
We worked really hard.

1106
01:01:53,876 --> 01:01:56,295
- We should be proud of ourselves.
- Yeah.

1107
01:01:59,090 --> 01:02:01,426
Guess what? We sold!

1108
01:02:01,509 --> 01:02:04,220
( Cheering )

1109
01:02:04,303 --> 01:02:08,224
I can already feel that warm
white sand between my toes!

1110
01:02:08,307 --> 01:02:09,308
We did it!

1111
01:02:11,310 --> 01:02:12,770
- ( Phone chimes )
- Man: Grace, hi.

1112
01:02:12,854 --> 01:02:14,522
Robert Prince with Jones Development.

1113
01:02:14,605 --> 01:02:17,024
Sorry I missed you,
but we saw your listing

1114
01:02:17,108 --> 01:02:20,361
and we're prepared
to offer 20% over asking.

1115
01:02:20,445 --> 01:02:22,238
Take it to your client, discuss it,

1116
01:02:22,321 --> 01:02:24,615
and give me a call back
at your earliest convenience.

1117
01:02:24,699 --> 01:02:26,325
Thank you very much.

1118
01:02:29,328 --> 01:02:33,040
I'm sure you and your sisters
have been discussing the offer.

1119
01:02:33,124 --> 01:02:35,251
I know it's above asking,

1120
01:02:35,334 --> 01:02:40,631
but there are some things to
consider before making any decisions.

1121
01:02:40,715 --> 01:02:46,471
- Their minds are made up.
- Well, do they know that this is only the first offer?

1122
01:02:46,554 --> 01:02:48,890
I'm sure there will be
many more in the new year.

1123
01:02:48,973 --> 01:02:51,642
I know how you feel
about this house, Grace,

1124
01:02:51,726 --> 01:02:54,270
and believe me
when I say it breaks my heart

1125
01:02:54,353 --> 01:02:58,232
to think of this home not being
in our family after all these years.

1126
01:02:58,316 --> 01:03:02,069
Mrs. Campbell, you do realize

1127
01:03:02,153 --> 01:03:05,072
that this is
a development company, right?

1128
01:03:05,156 --> 01:03:08,075
No one would put that amount
of money in writing

1129
01:03:08,159 --> 01:03:12,497
without seeing the house unless
they were gonna tear it down.

1130
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:15,875
My sisters feel the offer
is too good to pass up.

1131
01:03:15,958 --> 01:03:21,297
- I've been outvoted.
- Well, is there any way we can change their minds?

1132
01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:24,300
Another buyer?

1133
01:03:24,383 --> 01:03:28,888
They've given you and your
sisters 48 hours to respond.

1134
01:03:28,971 --> 01:03:32,683
- I'll still try to find another buyer.
- Thank you, Grace.

1135
01:03:32,767 --> 01:03:37,522
But if no other offer comes in,
we're gonna take this deal.

1136
01:03:37,605 --> 01:03:41,317
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have
to get ready for an appointment.

1137
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:42,985
Um...

1138
01:03:43,069 --> 01:03:46,906
Would it be okay if I stayed
a few more minutes?

1139
01:03:46,989 --> 01:03:50,743
Of course.
You take all the time you need.

1140
01:03:52,203 --> 01:03:53,204
Thank you.

1141
01:04:50,595 --> 01:04:52,471
There's got to be a way.

1142
01:05:05,109 --> 01:05:08,988
"Attached, please find my application

1143
01:05:09,071 --> 01:05:13,075
for the permanent position
in Evergreen Falls."

1144
01:05:16,078 --> 01:05:19,415
Come on, Grace. Just send it.

1145
01:05:19,498 --> 01:05:22,084
- ( Chimes )
- There.

1146
01:05:25,296 --> 01:05:27,006
- Hey!
- Hi.

1147
01:05:27,089 --> 01:05:29,634
- What are you doing here?
- I just wanted to make sure

1148
01:05:29,717 --> 01:05:31,969
that you got this before you left.

1149
01:05:32,053 --> 01:05:33,721
Oh.

1150
01:05:35,514 --> 01:05:38,392
We heard they offered someone
the manager position.

1151
01:05:41,729 --> 01:05:44,732
Well, that's great news for you guys.

1152
01:05:44,815 --> 01:05:49,070
I'm sure whoever they
found will be the perfect fit.

1153
01:05:49,153 --> 01:05:52,823
Merry Christmas from everyone,

1154
01:05:52,907 --> 01:05:55,159
to thank you for all that you did for us.

1155
01:05:55,242 --> 01:05:57,745
Merry Christmas.

1156
01:06:23,145 --> 01:06:26,607
"Evergreen Falls,
where you're always at home."

1157
01:06:48,587 --> 01:06:51,090
Hi, Joyce. It's Grace.

1158
01:06:51,173 --> 01:06:54,635
I hope you're at
a Christmas party having fun.

1159
01:06:54,719 --> 01:06:56,887
I, uh...

1160
01:06:56,971 --> 01:07:01,934
I just heard that someone
got the permanent position.

1161
01:07:02,018 --> 01:07:06,313
I wanted to thank you
for this opportunity.

1162
01:07:06,397 --> 01:07:08,190
I really loved working here.

1163
01:07:09,984 --> 01:07:12,820
I'll see you in the new year.
Merry Christmas.

1164
01:07:20,369 --> 01:07:22,079
( Phone ringing )

1165
01:07:22,163 --> 01:07:24,665
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, honey, I got some news.

1166
01:07:24,749 --> 01:07:26,810
It looks like we'll finally be able to
get out of here sometime tomorrow.

1167
01:07:26,834 --> 01:07:30,129
- That's great.
- Yeah, your dad's working on flights right now,

1168
01:07:30,212 --> 01:07:33,132
and I'll call you as soon
as we know something tomorrow.

1169
01:07:33,215 --> 01:07:35,760
I can't wait to see you and Dad.

1170
01:07:37,219 --> 01:07:40,931
- Hey, are you okay?
- Yeah.

1171
01:07:41,015 --> 01:07:44,143
I'll tell you all about it when I see you.

1172
01:07:44,226 --> 01:07:48,022
- We love you.
- Love you, too, Mom. Bye.

1173
01:08:15,674 --> 01:08:17,968
- Hey, I got your message.
- Hey.

1174
01:08:18,052 --> 01:08:19,412
So are they considering the offer?

1175
01:08:19,470 --> 01:08:21,597
They are.

1176
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:27,394
Is there any way they could
have, like, a clause in the contract

1177
01:08:27,478 --> 01:08:29,814
that says that the new owners
can't tear the house down

1178
01:08:29,897 --> 01:08:31,982
or, I don't know, split up the lot?

1179
01:08:32,066 --> 01:08:34,193
That can't be enforced.

1180
01:08:34,276 --> 01:08:36,612
Plus, once the sale goes through,

1181
01:08:36,695 --> 01:08:39,156
they can do whatever they want.

1182
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,409
The only way I can
convince them not to accept

1183
01:08:42,493 --> 01:08:47,581
is if I find a replacement buyer
in less than 39 hours.

1184
01:08:51,085 --> 01:08:54,004
- So this is it?
- If I had more time,

1185
01:08:54,088 --> 01:08:57,925
I could think of some better options.

1186
01:08:58,008 --> 01:09:02,638
It is a beautiful house,
but it does need some updates.

1187
01:09:02,721 --> 01:09:05,015
The appliances are outdated

1188
01:09:05,099 --> 01:09:07,017
and the electrical needs some upgrades.

1189
01:09:07,101 --> 01:09:11,021
The plumbing probably does, too.
It's not gonna be cheap.

1190
01:09:11,105 --> 01:09:13,291
It doesn't need to be done now,
but it will need to get done,

1191
01:09:13,315 --> 01:09:16,443
and they want to start over.

1192
01:09:16,527 --> 01:09:20,489
- I get it.
- I can see why you'd say that.

1193
01:09:22,741 --> 01:09:23,951
What does that mean?

1194
01:09:27,955 --> 01:09:31,542
You moved away a long time ago,

1195
01:09:31,625 --> 01:09:35,254
and this isn't your home anymore.

1196
01:09:35,337 --> 01:09:38,674
It's hard to care about a place
that you're not a part of,

1197
01:09:38,757 --> 01:09:42,636
- and I just thought that...
- Thought what?

1198
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,682
- You know what? Never mind.
- No. Luke, what is it?

1199
01:09:49,476 --> 01:09:53,355
Is there anything worth you staying for?

1200
01:09:55,149 --> 01:09:56,150
What?

1201
01:09:57,776 --> 01:10:01,614
Of course there is. More than you know.

1202
01:10:05,159 --> 01:10:08,245
But for now I have a job to do,

1203
01:10:08,329 --> 01:10:13,167
and Mrs. Campbell
and her sisters want to accept.

1204
01:10:13,250 --> 01:10:16,086
I understand.

1205
01:10:16,170 --> 01:10:20,132
You had a job to do, and now
you have to go back to your real life.

1206
01:10:21,342 --> 01:10:22,384
Listen, I got to go.

1207
01:10:22,468 --> 01:10:25,179
I promised Noah I would help.

1208
01:11:37,084 --> 01:11:38,377
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi, honey.

1209
01:11:38,460 --> 01:11:40,004
You're on speaker. Merry Christmas.

1210
01:11:40,087 --> 01:11:42,131
Happy Christmas Eve eve to you, too.

1211
01:11:42,214 --> 01:11:44,174
Guess what?
Our relief team just got here,

1212
01:11:44,258 --> 01:11:46,885
and your dad got us on
a flight to Evergreen Falls.

1213
01:11:46,969 --> 01:11:50,180
That's great!
When does your plane land?

1214
01:11:50,264 --> 01:11:52,224
- Hi, honey, it's Dad.
- Hey, Dad.

1215
01:11:52,308 --> 01:11:54,810
All right, so there are a few
details I'm still working on,

1216
01:11:54,893 --> 01:11:57,604
and there's some connecting
flights that we have to deal with,

1217
01:11:57,688 --> 01:12:02,192
but the good news is we're
gonna be there no matter what,

1218
01:12:02,276 --> 01:12:05,279
- and we're leaving very soon.
- That sounds great.

1219
01:12:05,362 --> 01:12:08,032
Anyway, we'll call you later
when we make our connection.

1220
01:12:08,115 --> 01:12:09,450
I can't wait to see you both.

1221
01:12:09,533 --> 01:12:12,411
Merry Christmas! We love you!

1222
01:12:12,494 --> 01:12:16,040
Love you, too. Okay, bye!

1223
01:12:16,123 --> 01:12:17,374
( Knocking on door )

1224
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,922
Hey. Come on in. It's cold.

1225
01:12:30,721 --> 01:12:33,432
Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday.

1226
01:12:33,515 --> 01:12:36,226
- It's okay.
- No. No, it's not.

1227
01:12:36,310 --> 01:12:38,145
I was frustrated, and I took it out on you

1228
01:12:38,228 --> 01:12:40,647
when you were just doing your job,

1229
01:12:40,731 --> 01:12:43,067
which you are very good at,
unfortunately.

1230
01:12:43,150 --> 01:12:47,237
Otherwise, they wouldn't
want you to go back to the city.

1231
01:12:47,321 --> 01:12:52,284
Luke, at the church, you asked me
if there's anything worth staying for.

1232
01:12:52,368 --> 01:12:54,536
Is there?

1233
01:12:54,620 --> 01:12:57,915
I applied for the permanent
manager position.

1234
01:12:57,998 --> 01:13:02,336
They gave it to someone else,
but I did try.

1235
01:13:02,419 --> 01:13:07,216
I see. You wanted to stay for the job.

1236
01:13:07,299 --> 01:13:10,260
- Luke, I...
- No, no, no, it's okay.

1237
01:13:10,344 --> 01:13:11,553
I understand, really.

1238
01:13:14,973 --> 01:13:20,020
Here. I got you a little something
to remember your time here.

1239
01:13:20,104 --> 01:13:24,274
- Merry Christmas, Grace.
- Merry Christmas, Luke.

1240
01:13:24,358 --> 01:13:27,986
- Then I'll just...
- Thank you.

1241
01:14:04,815 --> 01:14:09,528
"It's still a once-in-a-lifetime
shot because of you.

1242
01:14:09,611 --> 01:14:10,821
Love, Luke."

1243
01:15:35,697 --> 01:15:36,698
Hmm.

1244
01:15:47,918 --> 01:15:50,170
We got an early Christmas present.

1245
01:15:50,254 --> 01:15:52,839
- Do you mean the offer?
- Not that offer.

1246
01:15:52,923 --> 01:15:56,843
- We got another offer.
- Does it beat 20% over our asking price?

1247
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:00,305
- Then I'm still passing.
- Me, too.

1248
01:16:00,389 --> 01:16:03,267
Well, I think we need to at least read it.

1249
01:16:03,350 --> 01:16:05,394
It's a letter from the buyer.

1250
01:16:06,853 --> 01:16:09,648
"Dear Trish, Mary, and June..."

1251
01:16:09,731 --> 01:16:12,859
Grace: "A few days ago,
I stopped by my favorite house",

1252
01:16:12,943 --> 01:16:15,654
the Campbell home, which I have loved

1253
01:16:15,737 --> 01:16:19,157
since growing up in Evergreen Falls.

1254
01:16:19,241 --> 01:16:20,951
Trish thought I was there to buy it,

1255
01:16:21,034 --> 01:16:24,663
but I told her I was there
to help you sell it.

1256
01:16:24,746 --> 01:16:27,874
Turns out she was right all along.

1257
01:16:27,958 --> 01:16:31,878
I've admired your home
since I was young,

1258
01:16:31,962 --> 01:16:35,299
thinking to myself every day
when I'd walk by,

1259
01:16:35,382 --> 01:16:39,678
someday I'm going to live
in a house just like that.

1260
01:16:39,761 --> 01:16:44,099
Years later, I'm still drawn
to its grace, its charm,

1261
01:16:44,182 --> 01:16:47,686
and the way it seemed
to hold stories in its walls.

1262
01:16:47,769 --> 01:16:51,690
It's the kind of house that
I know would make me slow down,

1263
01:16:51,773 --> 01:16:56,695
breathe in, and enjoy
all the little moments.

1264
01:16:56,778 --> 01:17:00,490
My offer is far from the
highest, but I want nothing more

1265
01:17:00,574 --> 01:17:05,120
than to be able to care for this
home with the love, reverence,

1266
01:17:05,203 --> 01:17:08,332
and attention it has always deserved,

1267
01:17:08,415 --> 01:17:12,919
and if I'm lucky, give those
walls new stories to tell.

1268
01:17:13,003 --> 01:17:15,255
It's my biggest wish that you'll allow me

1269
01:17:15,339 --> 01:17:17,539
"and my future family to make
memories in this house..."

1270
01:17:17,591 --> 01:17:18,943
Trish: "house for years to come.

1271
01:17:18,967 --> 01:17:22,220
Merry Christmas, Grace Sawyer."

1272
01:17:24,431 --> 01:17:26,808
Well, you know what my vote is.

1273
01:17:46,453 --> 01:17:47,913
( Muted chatter )

1274
01:17:47,996 --> 01:17:52,626
( "Silent Night" playing )

1275
01:18:04,638 --> 01:18:10,268
( Music continues )

1276
01:18:31,998 --> 01:18:35,210
- Amen!
- Merry Christmas.

1277
01:18:37,087 --> 01:18:40,215
- Oh, merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

1278
01:18:40,298 --> 01:18:43,760
I'm gonna go talk to Luke.
I'll call you tomorrow.

1279
01:18:43,844 --> 01:18:45,637
- You do that.
- Yeah, bye.

1280
01:18:51,309 --> 01:18:55,021
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

1281
01:18:55,105 --> 01:18:58,650
Thank you for the picture. I love it.

1282
01:19:00,527 --> 01:19:01,862
I'm glad.

1283
01:19:01,945 --> 01:19:04,239
I have something else to tell you.

1284
01:19:04,322 --> 01:19:07,284
There was a second offer
on the Campbell House.

1285
01:19:07,367 --> 01:19:09,953
Really? So, no developers?

1286
01:19:10,036 --> 01:19:12,622
- Actually, I think you know...
- Grace.

1287
01:19:14,458 --> 01:19:16,376
Mom? Dad!

1288
01:19:16,460 --> 01:19:18,253
- ( laughing )
- Oh, sweetie.

1289
01:19:18,336 --> 01:19:20,130
What a surprise!

1290
01:19:20,213 --> 01:19:22,591
I didn't think you'd make
your connecting flight.

1291
01:19:22,674 --> 01:19:24,634
- We barely did.
- Since it's Christmas Eve,

1292
01:19:24,718 --> 01:19:27,471
we told the taxi to drop us off here.

1293
01:19:27,554 --> 01:19:29,139
Uh, Mom, Dad, this is my...

1294
01:19:30,557 --> 01:19:33,852
Uh, this is Luke.

1295
01:19:33,935 --> 01:19:37,481
- Luke, how lovely to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you.

1296
01:19:37,564 --> 01:19:40,066
And you have an absolutely
spectacular daughter.

1297
01:19:40,150 --> 01:19:45,405
- Well, we sure think so.
- You two must be exhausted.

1298
01:19:45,489 --> 01:19:49,493
I have plenty of food back at
my house, and you should see it.

1299
01:19:49,576 --> 01:19:52,162
- Did you get a tree?
- We did.

1300
01:19:52,245 --> 01:19:55,791
- Luke, will you join us?
- I would love to.

1301
01:19:55,874 --> 01:19:58,168
- ( Phone vibrating )
- Oh, it's my boss. Excuse me.

1302
01:19:58,251 --> 01:20:00,420
- Well, that seems peculiar.
- Joyce?

1303
01:20:00,504 --> 01:20:02,964
Grace, hi. I'm glad I caught you.

1304
01:20:03,048 --> 01:20:07,511
Uh, me, too. I was gonna call you later.

1305
01:20:07,594 --> 01:20:13,517
I've, um, decided that
it's time for a new adventure.

1306
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,102
I'm staying in Evergreen Falls.

1307
01:20:16,186 --> 01:20:19,898
And if you need me to cover until
you find someone to fill in for me...

1308
01:20:19,981 --> 01:20:23,109
That won't be necessary. I do
have a question for you, though.

1309
01:20:23,193 --> 01:20:27,906
- Have you found a new job yet?
- Not yet. Why?

1310
01:20:27,989 --> 01:20:30,325
Do you have someone
who's looking for a realtor?

1311
01:20:30,408 --> 01:20:35,539
Not exactly, but I do know a firm
that's looking for a managing realtor.

1312
01:20:35,622 --> 01:20:38,041
Grace, what you've accomplished
in Evergreen Falls

1313
01:20:38,124 --> 01:20:40,919
in such a short time is truly impressive.

1314
01:20:41,002 --> 01:20:44,923
The permanent position is yours
if you want it.

1315
01:20:45,006 --> 01:20:47,634
Yes! Yes, I do. I do.

1316
01:20:47,717 --> 01:20:50,136
Thank you. Thank you so much, Joyce.

1317
01:20:50,220 --> 01:20:51,471
Merry Christmas.

1318
01:20:51,555 --> 01:20:53,723
( No audible dialogue )

1319
01:20:53,807 --> 01:20:57,644
- I got the job!
- ( cheering )

1320
01:20:57,727 --> 01:21:00,814
- Congratulations!
- What a surprise!

1321
01:21:07,445 --> 01:21:10,657
- Dad and I will meet you back at the house.
- Okay.

1322
01:21:12,826 --> 01:21:15,954
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

1323
01:21:26,256 --> 01:21:30,760
So, does this mean
you're becoming a local again?

1324
01:21:30,844 --> 01:21:35,307
- Seems that way.
- Glad it worked out for you.

1325
01:21:38,476 --> 01:21:40,395
There's something else.

1326
01:21:40,478 --> 01:21:44,399
The other offer
for Mrs. Campbell's house?

1327
01:21:44,482 --> 01:21:47,193
- That was me.
- What?

1328
01:21:47,277 --> 01:21:50,113
You asked me if there's
something worth staying for

1329
01:21:50,196 --> 01:21:53,283
and I was too scared to tell you.

1330
01:21:56,077 --> 01:22:00,832
The truth is you are worth staying for.

1331
01:22:02,083 --> 01:22:04,169
The way you make me laugh,

1332
01:22:04,252 --> 01:22:09,007
the way you see me, see us,

1333
01:22:09,090 --> 01:22:12,010
that is worth everything.

1334
01:22:12,093 --> 01:22:15,805
And I want to spend
this Christmas by your side.

1335
01:22:17,015 --> 01:22:18,892
If you'll have me.

1336
01:22:20,727 --> 01:22:23,813
What? That was a good speech.

1337
01:22:23,897 --> 01:22:29,819
Grace, when you stepped into my shot,

1338
01:22:29,903 --> 01:22:32,822
you turned my world upside down.

1339
01:22:32,906 --> 01:22:37,911
I've just been waiting for you
to catch up with me.

1340
01:22:51,299 --> 01:22:55,136
- Best Christmas ever.
- Till next year.

1341
01:23:01,351 --> 01:23:07,232
( Holiday music playing )
