You're still pushing this
expansion thing, huh?

5
00:00:54,471 --> 00:00:56,014
Already in the works, Dad.

6
00:00:57,182 --> 00:00:58,725
Cider's doing so well locally,

7
00:00:58,767 --> 00:01:01,227
I don't see why you have to
try to fix what isn't broken.

8
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:04,230
Well, sometimes it's good
to get out of your comfort zone.

9
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:06,566
Well, I like my apples

10
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:07,859
right where I can see 'em.

11
00:01:08,693 --> 00:01:11,070
And always freeze the extras.

12
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:13,656
I know, I know,
in case we have a bad year

13
00:01:13,698 --> 00:01:15,158
and don't harvest enough apples.

14
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,159
That's right.

15
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:17,869
By the way, I went to town.

16
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:20,371
I ran into Winnie,

The Driftless Bookstore

00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:22,707
is going on the market.

19
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:24,250
-Wow.
-Yeah.

20
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:25,710
That's the end of an era.

21
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:29,631
Oh, can you hold that?

22
00:01:30,298 --> 00:01:31,341
Thanks.

Good morning!

Happy first day of spring.

26
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:57,325
Well, that's not happening.

27
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:07,335
Another one bites the dust.

28
00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:09,879
I guess I overwatered it.

29
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,757
Didn't inherit my grandma's
green thumb.

30
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:15,301
Well, maybe
we'll try plastic ones.

Yep. I'll have it ready for you

00:02:23,351 --> 00:02:25,812
Also, since my temp contract
wraps today,

35
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:27,814
I'm putting together some notes
of where I've left off

36
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:28,731
on everything.

37
00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:30,608
Yeah. About that.

38
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:31,609
Follow me.

39
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:42,495
Have a seat.

40
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:43,830
You know, Elise,

41
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:46,374
we are so impressed
with you here.

42
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:48,042
You're organized, dependable.

43
00:02:48,084 --> 00:02:49,878
You're the best temp
we've ever had.

44
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,380
You catch things in
those inventory reports

45
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:53,923
that most people overlook.

46
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:55,508
And that's a real skill.

47
00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:58,970
Which is why we would like to
offer you a full-time role here.

48
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:00,388
Benefits, stability.

49
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:02,056

00:03:02,098 --> 00:03:04,142
Wow. I... I'm flattered.

51
00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:05,143
Thank you.

52
00:03:05,685 --> 00:03:06,853
It's just...

53
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:09,272
I wasn't planning
on staying in Chicago.

54
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:10,773
Ah.

55
00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:14,110
So, you are stuck temping
because you keep moving, right?

56
00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:16,362
I suppose.

57
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:19,449
I just haven't quite found
the place that sticks.

58
00:03:20,408 --> 00:03:21,868
Well, you're good at this.

59
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:23,036
Really good.

60
00:03:23,077 --> 00:03:24,829
There's room to grow here
if you stay put.

61
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:28,374
Make Chicago and us your home.

62
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:35,882
You know what?

63
00:03:36,674 --> 00:03:37,675
You're right.

00:03:38,217 --> 00:03:40,178
It's time I stopped drifting.

65
00:03:42,305 --> 00:03:43,723
I would love to accept.

66
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:45,099
That's the spirit!

67
00:03:45,141 --> 00:03:47,852
I will still need a few weeks
in the Driftless area,

68
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,729
wrapping up my late grandma's
bookstore, though.

69
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:52,231
No problem, the role starts
in a month.

70
00:03:52,273 --> 00:03:54,317
Take four weeks to get
things settled, and then

71
00:03:54,359 --> 00:03:55,443
we'll need you here
ready to go.

72
00:03:55,485 --> 00:03:56,819
Perfect.

73
00:03:56,861 --> 00:03:59,197

74
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:01,741
But I am excited to see
the apple blossoms

75
00:04:01,783 --> 00:04:02,825
while I'm there.

76
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:04,911
Apple blossoms?
Uh... like the dessert?

77
00:04:04,953 --> 00:04:08,331
Wow. Cherry blossoms
really do have better PR.

78
00:04:08,998 --> 00:04:11,751
Um, think those,
but on apple trees.

79
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:13,753
Every spring when
the apple trees bloom,

80
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:15,338
the town throws a festival.

81
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:16,881
Local vendors, games,

82
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:18,549
tractor rides
through the blossoms.

83
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:20,635
Wow, maybe I'll take my wife.

84
00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:23,137
Sounds like something out of
one of her romance novels.

this one author now.

Tessa Marks?

Back to business.

The last manager had to step
away for some family stuff,

107

I started college nearby.

I think the last time
I worked here

112
00:05:52,226 --> 00:05:56,272
I was a teen myself,
so I might be a little rusty.

113
00:05:56,314 --> 00:05:57,273
Don't judge.

114

Oh, I only judge on book taste.

as a personality flaw?

this time of year.

130

I guess he wandered in.

Meet the neighborhood cat.

136
00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:48,741
Um, he just comes
and goes and...

137
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:50,326
People just let him do

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

141
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:56,207
I didn't know she was
a cat person.

142
00:06:56,874 --> 00:06:59,001
Uh, well, I'm gonna go
get settled

143
00:06:59,043 --> 00:07:00,878
at Gram's house next door...

144
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,338
if you're okay for a bit.

145
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:04,048
Yeah, I'm here

146
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,091
Perks of spring break.

00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:33,995
Sorry I never finished
my book, Gram.

149
00:07:34,245 --> 00:07:37,039
You were always warm
and inspiring,

150
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:41,085
but I don't think I'll ever be
as good of a storyteller as you.

151

These books always
help me find my way

152

when the world is
waking up again.

153
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,693

161
00:08:34,388 --> 00:08:36,807
You must be Lorraine's
granddaughter, right?

162
00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:38,226
That obvious?

163
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:39,727
Well, you have her eyes.

164
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:41,312
I'm Winnie.

166
00:08:42,605 --> 00:08:43,940

Oh, everyone knew Lorraine.

168
00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:47,735
She was the heartbeat
of this town.

169
00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:50,863
I actually helped with
the Apple Blossom Festival

170
00:08:50,905 --> 00:08:52,865
and your grandmother
used to host readings

171
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:53,991
alongside it.

172
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:55,326
Oh, yeah.

173
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:57,870
I actually just found her
Books and Blooms list.

174
00:08:57,912 --> 00:09:00,331
I'm thinking I might host
an event in her honor.

175
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:02,875
Just one book, something small.

176
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:04,168
Just a little send off.

177
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:05,836
How special.

178
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:08,464
You know, little things have
a way of growing around here.

179
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:11,425
Actually...

180
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:14,303
the Book Nook at the festival
was a little tradition

181
00:09:14,345 --> 00:09:15,930
that your grandmother started.

182
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:18,975
I think it was her way
of putting a-a final,

183
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:22,019
cozy touch on the whole
Books and Bloom events.

184
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:23,938
Really? What was it?

185
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:25,147
Well, it was like, um,

186
00:09:25,189 --> 00:09:27,900
a little reading nook,
but much more than that.

187
00:09:27,942 --> 00:09:31,195
She hid little notes,
surprises or recordings

188
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:33,614
for anyone who looked closely.

189
00:09:33,656 --> 00:09:35,199
I think she wanted

190
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:37,910
whoever wandered in to feel
like she left a secret

191
00:09:37,952 --> 00:09:39,203
just for them.

192
00:09:40,204 --> 00:09:42,248
That sounds like Gram.

193
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:44,250
She inspired all of us.

194
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:46,877
You know, we would love
to see the Book Nook again

195
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,589
if you could continue it
for the spring festival.

196
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:50,548
Oh.

197
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:52,883
I'm not sure.

198
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:54,468
I might not be here that long.

199
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:56,804
I'm only here until
the bookstore sells, so...

200
00:09:57,054 --> 00:09:58,639
I think I might
just stick to

201
00:09:58,681 --> 00:10:00,266
one Book and Bloom event
for now.

202
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:01,892
Well, we all pitch in
around here,

203
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:04,061
so if you do change your mind,

204
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:07,231
the festival committee
meets every Tuesday

205
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:08,899
until those trees blossom.

206
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:11,027
Okay. Good to know.

207
00:10:12,194 --> 00:10:15,156
Uh, so, any idea where I could
get some potted plants?

208
00:10:15,197 --> 00:10:16,907
Yeah. Whitman's Orchards.

209
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:18,826
They're your best bet.
Do you know how to get there?

210
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:20,036
I sure do.

211
00:10:20,536 --> 00:10:21,829
Thanks, Winnie.

212
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:22,913
Okay.

213
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:31,380
♪

214
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,427
Hi.

215
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:37,845
Thank you.

216
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:53,861
Oh, no. No.
No, no, no, no, no.

217
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:55,529
No, we're not doing this.

218
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:57,573
-Ah!
-Oh! Oh, gosh.

219
00:10:57,615 --> 00:10:59,367
I am so, so sorry.

220
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:00,743
Max?

221
00:11:01,535 --> 00:11:02,828
Elise.

222
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:04,080
Wow.

223
00:11:04,121 --> 00:11:05,206
-Hi.
-Hi.

224
00:11:05,247 --> 00:11:06,582
You're still here?

225
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:08,876
Well, where else would I be?
It's my family's farm.

226
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:09,960
Right. Of course.

227
00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:11,962
I just didn't think
you'd still be--

228
00:11:12,004 --> 00:11:14,340
We can't all just run off
without saying goodbye

229
00:11:14,382 --> 00:11:15,758
and disappear.

230
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,427
You should really do something
about your bee problem.

231
00:11:18,469 --> 00:11:20,596
My bee problem?
They pollinate the blossoms.

232
00:11:20,638 --> 00:11:22,973
That's kinda the whole point.
That's how we get the apples.

233
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:24,725
Maybe if you weren't
drinking something so sweet.

234
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:26,686
You guys offered it to me.

235
00:11:26,727 --> 00:11:28,437
It's a taster,
just for the entrance.

236
00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:30,481
What do you think of it,
by the way? At least...

237
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,942
what you got to try of it.

238
00:11:32,983 --> 00:11:35,152
Uh, it's good. Fine.

239
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:36,946
Fine. Great.

240
00:11:36,987 --> 00:11:38,614
I may have wasted
my entire winter

241
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:39,824
perfecting that recipe.

242
00:11:40,324 --> 00:11:42,076
You made this?

243
00:11:43,744 --> 00:11:45,246
What are you doing back here?

244
00:11:45,287 --> 00:11:47,331
Are you handling
the bookstore sale?

245
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:48,707
Yeah.

246
00:11:48,749 --> 00:11:50,459
I thought your parents
would take care of that.

247
00:11:50,501 --> 00:11:52,670
Yeah, well, they're off
on a world cruise

248
00:11:52,711 --> 00:11:55,548
enjoying retirement.
They're gone for, like, a year.

249
00:11:55,589 --> 00:11:56,716
-So...
-Ahh.

250
00:11:56,757 --> 00:11:58,884
-Here I am.
-Right, I remember.

251
00:11:58,926 --> 00:12:01,554
Your family never liked to stay
in one place for very long.

252
00:12:01,595 --> 00:12:02,972
No.

253
00:12:03,013 --> 00:12:05,766
Visiting Gram in the summer
was the only constant.

254
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:08,561
I've never been here
in the spring, it's nice.

255
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:09,687
You're gonna love it.

256
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,188
Spring's underrated.

257
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:13,023
And you'll finally get a chance
to see the apple blossoms.

258
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:14,233
I hope so.

259
00:12:14,275 --> 00:12:15,359
If I'm still here.

260
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:17,445
But for now, I'm looking

261
00:12:17,486 --> 00:12:18,738
to brighten up the store.

262
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:20,281
Make it lively.

263
00:12:20,322 --> 00:12:21,824
One last time for Gram.

264
00:12:22,783 --> 00:12:25,077
Are you, uh,
a better gardener now?

265
00:12:25,619 --> 00:12:27,621
I remember you used to kill
everything you touched.

266
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:29,999
Although I guess you spent
all your time typing away

267
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:30,916
in the bookstore.

268
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,877
Always writing something.

269
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:34,295
Uh, yeah.

270
00:12:34,336 --> 00:12:36,172
Something like that.

271
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:40,593
Um, I'm just gonna use
Gram's notes as a cheat sheet,

272
00:12:40,634 --> 00:12:42,178
and, uh, these will do it.

273
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:44,138
Wha-- are you sure that's
the... the mix you want?

274
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:45,473
'Cause those don't
really complement--

275
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:47,266
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Thank you
so much for your help.

276
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:49,310
And for the bee.

277
00:12:50,478 --> 00:12:51,562
Okay.

278
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,065
Good to see you, Elise.

279
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:57,443
You, too.

280
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,332
Tell me this one's good.

281
00:13:11,373 --> 00:13:13,167
The brand's
story feels generic.

282
00:13:13,209 --> 00:13:14,793
Too heavy on the facts.

283
00:13:14,835 --> 00:13:16,420
Oh. Really?

284
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,006
I tried every angle
I could think of.

285
00:13:19,048 --> 00:13:21,175
You're the distributor,
what do you think we should do?

286
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:23,677
Buyers want a standout flavor
paired with

287
00:13:23,719 --> 00:13:25,262
a distinguishable story.

288
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:27,681
Why the orchard, the batch?
Why you?

289
00:13:27,723 --> 00:13:30,726
Okay, well, I can work
on flavor, but...

290
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:32,353
I'm not a storyteller.

291
00:13:32,394 --> 00:13:33,687
Well, you better
find someone quick.

292
00:13:33,729 --> 00:13:35,606
Otherwise, you could miss
your window.

293
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:37,983
Okay. Yeah, you're right.

294
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,324
Water daily.
Except when it rains.

295
00:13:45,366 --> 00:13:47,117
But not too much rain.

296
00:13:47,785 --> 00:13:49,078
Not today.

297
00:13:49,411 --> 00:13:51,747
Shade,
but only morning shade.

298
00:13:51,997 --> 00:13:54,083
Who is supposed
to remember all of this?

299
00:13:54,124 --> 00:13:56,836
You sure you don't want me to
just hire someone to do this?

300
00:13:56,877 --> 00:13:58,796
This was important to Gram.

301
00:13:58,837 --> 00:14:00,339
I wanna try and do it for her.

302
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,468
-Hey.
-Hi.

303
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,429
Uh, did I leave something
at the orchard?

304
00:14:07,471 --> 00:14:09,932
No, no, no, I just wanted to see
how you're settling in.

305
00:14:09,974 --> 00:14:11,016
Hey.

306
00:14:11,058 --> 00:14:12,643
Are you part of
the gardening committee?

307
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:13,978
Hard pass.

308
00:14:15,396 --> 00:14:19,108
Well, do you want me to lend
a hand here?

309
00:14:19,149 --> 00:14:20,609
Does no one think
I can do this?

310
00:14:20,651 --> 00:14:22,611
That's not what I'm saying.

311
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:25,322
It's just nice to have some
creative input sometimes.

312
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:27,491
Actually, that's why I'm here.

313
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,660
I'm wondering if I could get
some of yours.

314
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:30,494
For what?

315
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:32,371
That fine cider you tried.

316
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,248
It was really delicious.

317
00:14:34,665 --> 00:14:35,916
I just...

318
00:14:35,958 --> 00:14:37,293
There was a lot happening.

319
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:38,627
Good. I'm glad you like it.

320
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:40,671
What was in that sample?

321
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:41,964
Rhubarb and jasmine.

322
00:14:42,006 --> 00:14:43,173
Fascinating.

323
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:44,592
It's part of this, uh,
fruit and floral blend

324
00:14:44,633 --> 00:14:45,759
that I'm trying to expand.

325
00:14:45,801 --> 00:14:47,511
But the distributor,
they want a story.

326
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:48,721
You know, something to sell it.

327
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:50,097
And I'm not good at that.

328
00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:52,099
But I remembered that you are.

329
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:56,937
That part of me disappeared
a long time ago.

330
00:14:56,979 --> 00:14:58,355
I'm not the girl for you.

331
00:14:58,397 --> 00:14:59,523
I think you're wrong.

332
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,360
Look, how about this?

333
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:05,654
We-we do, um...
we do a trade.

334
00:15:05,696 --> 00:15:07,323
I heard you're hosting
a book event.

335
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:08,866
I help you, and...

336
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:10,701
you help me with my story.

337
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:12,494
Kind of, uh, team...

338
00:15:12,536 --> 00:15:14,163
Cider and Blooms.

339
00:15:14,204 --> 00:15:16,665
It's just a small event.
It's nothing big.

340
00:15:16,707 --> 00:15:19,877
The Elise I remember
always did everything big.

341
00:15:20,461 --> 00:15:22,171
I should really
get back to this.

342
00:15:22,212 --> 00:15:24,089
Elise! Big news.

343
00:15:24,131 --> 00:15:27,551
RSVPs for the Books and Blooms
filled up overnight!

344
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:30,137
What do you mean,
"filled up"?

345
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,473
Well, it was so popular,
I added a couple days

346
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:33,807
for the other books.

347
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:35,392
-Hi, Max.
-Hi.

348
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:36,977
But it was just one night.

349
00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:38,646
Just a few people.

350
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:41,398
Oh, well, don't ask me how
to undo it on the website.

351
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,902
I-I just clicked on something
and everyone got excited.

352
00:15:44,943 --> 00:15:47,404
Spring's a sproutin'
and you are now

353
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:50,240
a part of the festival,
miss headliner.

354
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:52,910
Looks like your little thing
just got a whole lot bigger.

355
00:15:58,582 --> 00:16:02,544
♪

356
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:24,400
So, you liked the cat.

357
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:35,411
Just a little breakfast.

358
00:16:38,455 --> 00:16:40,290
Don't get too comfy.

359
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:42,334
I'm not looking for a roommate.

360
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:51,093
What's this?

361
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:57,307
Life may feel bare
and empty sometimes.

362
00:16:57,641 --> 00:17:00,769
But that's just winter
doing its job.

363
00:17:01,186 --> 00:17:05,274
Make tea, open a book,
and plant something anyway.

364
00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:08,736
There's always a chance
to start anew.

365
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:10,320
Gram.

366
00:17:22,624 --> 00:17:23,917
What are you doing?

367
00:17:23,959 --> 00:17:25,836
Good morning, headliner.
How'd you sleep?

368
00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:27,421
Not great, actually.

369
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:30,007
Apparently, cats have
early schedules.

370
00:17:30,048 --> 00:17:32,760
And gardeners, I see.

371
00:17:32,801 --> 00:17:34,511
I thought I told you
I didn't need any help.

372
00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:36,388
Yeah, but the other day
I noticed that you got

373
00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:38,807
a bunch of fillers,
but no thrillers or spillers.

374
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:39,850
Thrill-a-what-a-huh?

375
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:42,269
Thrillers. Tall,
party in the back.

376
00:17:42,311 --> 00:17:43,562
Fillers, fills the dance floor.

377
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,272
Spillers like to show off,
but kinda ties

378
00:17:45,314 --> 00:17:46,482
the whole thing together.

379
00:17:46,523 --> 00:17:47,775
What do you think of these two?

380
00:17:47,816 --> 00:17:49,318
Yeah, you look really good.

381
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:52,488
Um, they look...

382
00:17:52,529 --> 00:17:54,323
really good together.
-Elise?

383
00:17:55,574 --> 00:17:56,784
Hi.

384
00:17:56,825 --> 00:17:57,659
Vanessa.

385
00:17:57,701 --> 00:17:59,286
Oh, the-the real estate agent.

386
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:02,372
Hi. I, um, thought
you were coming later.

387
00:18:02,414 --> 00:18:03,582
Well, I was in the neighborhood,

388
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:05,709
so I figured I'd stop by,
introduce myself

389
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:07,169
and take a quick photo.

390
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:08,420
Potential buyer is interested

391
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:10,464
in seeing the details
of the shelves inside.

392
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:12,549
Wow! Someone's
already interested.

393
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:13,675
-Mm-hmm.
-That's great.

394
00:18:13,717 --> 00:18:14,843
Uh, the faster, the better.

395
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:16,678
Yeah. Fantastic.

396
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,722
-Hey, Max.
-Hey, Vanessa.

397
00:18:18,764 --> 00:18:20,307
-How you doing?
-Good.

398
00:18:20,349 --> 00:18:21,683
Oh. We're hugging.

399
00:18:22,351 --> 00:18:24,269
Elise, you're in good hands
with Vanessa.

400
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:26,021
She's a real
real estate shark.

401
00:18:26,063 --> 00:18:27,314
Oh.

402
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:28,732
Oh, it's so sweet
that Max is helping you out.

403
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:30,567
Um, actually,
I've asked him not to.

404
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:31,902
Well, we're working out a deal.

405
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,946
-A little quid pro quo thing.
-Oh...

406
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:36,281
Speaking of deals,
a quick photo? Be right back.

407
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,453
I appreciate your plant
enthusiasm, but I don't wanna

408
00:18:41,495 --> 00:18:42,830
take your services for free.

409
00:18:42,871 --> 00:18:45,082
- I don't mind. I want--
- All set!

410
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:47,417
I'm hoping to have that
paperwork to you soon.

411
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:49,002
Amazing. Thanks.

412
00:18:49,044 --> 00:18:50,963
Yeah, I have another showing
to get to, but I'll be in touch.

413
00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:52,172
Great.

414
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,050
Uh, you know, I think
I've got this whole

415
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:57,928
thrill, fill, spill thing.
So, um...

416
00:18:58,387 --> 00:19:01,140
Once I have my morning coffee,
I'll, uh, get to it.

417
00:19:01,181 --> 00:19:02,391
Okay.

418
00:19:02,432 --> 00:19:04,143
Well, I'm-I'm headed
to the café to get coffee.

419
00:19:04,184 --> 00:19:05,769
Do you wanna come?
I'll get you a coffee.

420
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:07,354
They have amazing coffee.

421
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:08,230
Um...

422
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:10,816
-For coffee?
-For the coffee.

423
00:19:10,858 --> 00:19:12,234
-Sure.
-Great.

424
00:19:12,276 --> 00:19:14,528
Let me just, uh, get changed.

425
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:16,321
You look great! Oh. Okay.

426
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:30,919
Spring showers...

427
00:19:30,961 --> 00:19:32,337
Bring May flowers.

428
00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:33,547
That's right.

429
00:19:33,589 --> 00:19:35,674
So what's the deal
with this mystery cat

430
00:19:35,716 --> 00:19:37,134
who decided to wake you up?
-I don't know!

431
00:19:37,175 --> 00:19:40,220
He showed up my first day here
and waltzed into the store

432
00:19:40,262 --> 00:19:41,597
like he owned the place.

433
00:19:41,638 --> 00:19:43,223
Well, you know, some people
say it's an honor

434
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:44,391
if a cat chooses you.

435
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:47,895
Yeah, well, I'm not
looking to get attached.

436
00:19:47,936 --> 00:19:49,771
It sounds like he's just
a neighborhood wanderer

437
00:19:49,813 --> 00:19:51,940
who's got a taste
for free snacks.

438
00:19:53,275 --> 00:19:54,943
Okay. So, your quid pro quo.

439
00:19:54,985 --> 00:19:56,820
You're looking for inspiration
for the distributor.

440
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:58,238
What have you pitched so far?

441
00:19:59,239 --> 00:20:00,574
Um...

442
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:04,369
So, fermentation stats,
ratios, fruit blends.

443
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:08,707
All the riveting stuff that
only I find exciting.

444
00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:12,669
Well, maybe it's not about
what's in it,

445
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:14,421
but where it's from.

446
00:20:15,339 --> 00:20:17,591
You used to love showing me
what was so special

447
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:20,135
about the Driftless area
when I'd come to visit.

448
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:23,513
You just have to tell it
in your own words.

449
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:26,058
See?

450
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:28,310
You still have that gift.

451
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:29,853
I'm just talking.

452
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:31,396
No, no, you--

453
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:34,358
You could always see
what other people missed.

454
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:36,568
You would've got
there eventually.

455
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:37,819
Maybe. But...

456
00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:40,572
I wouldn't mind
figuring it out with you.

457
00:20:40,614 --> 00:20:42,449
If you'll accept my offer.

458
00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:46,203
I'm just too busy.

459
00:20:46,244 --> 00:20:47,871
And it looks like
the sale on the store

460
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:49,581
might close sooner
than expected.

461
00:20:50,457 --> 00:20:51,458
Okay.

462
00:20:53,627 --> 00:20:55,337
Should we make a run for it?

463
00:20:55,796 --> 00:20:56,630
Yeah.

Uh...

The cat dug up the clover again.

469
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:23,448
Maybe it was the bunnies?

470
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:25,367
They love snacking on it
this time of year.

471
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:28,078
Nice try. I caught him
red-handed earlier.

472
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,371
It was definitely the cat.

Oh, thanks for updating this.

474
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:34,292
Oh. No prob.

475
00:21:34,334 --> 00:21:35,794
I wanted all the displays
looking good

476

Wait.

What if we served these
with tea?

480
00:21:43,927 --> 00:21:46,596
Small tables, cozy book chat,

481
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:48,181
so I don't have to lead
the talk.

482
00:21:48,223 --> 00:21:49,683
An introvert's dream.

What? Baking's punk now.

Hey, do you think you'll be
able to bake for the event?

489

I love a good deadline.

Just a little burst
of inspiration.

496

write notes

own blossoms.

No. I mean, yes,

I was setting things up at
the bookstore, and it hit me.

517

I've been getting in my own way,

When you mentioned story,

524

But, you know, maybe
it's good to look at it

not as failing,
but learning, growing.

00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:29,426
How long does that take?

539
00:24:29,843 --> 00:24:31,052
Depends.

540
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:33,138
Whenever they're ready.

541
00:24:35,515 --> 00:24:37,267
So, what do you say?

542
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:39,186
Team Cider and Blooms
round two?

543
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:41,855
Now, are you just saying this

544
00:24:41,897 --> 00:24:43,940
because you couldn't
figure out those planters?

545
00:24:44,524 --> 00:24:45,734
That.

546
00:24:46,276 --> 00:24:48,653
And I miss how we used to do
things together.

547
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:50,071
Yeah.

548
00:24:50,530 --> 00:24:51,781
Yeah, I do too.

549
00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:54,367
All right, I'm in.
I'm in.

550
00:24:54,409 --> 00:24:57,162
Great! Where should we start?

551
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:02,000
Whoo!

552
00:25:02,042 --> 00:25:03,919
The weather can't decide
what it wants to do.

553
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,546
It's raining, it's sunny,
now it is raining.

554
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:08,048
Oh, my God!

555
00:25:08,089 --> 00:25:10,425
Is that our little Elise
all grown up?

556
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:12,469
Come here.
Oh, wait a second.

557
00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:14,095
-I'm soaking wet.
-I don't mind.

558
00:25:14,137 --> 00:25:16,473
Aww, come here. Mmm!

559
00:25:17,432 --> 00:25:19,809
Wow. It is good to see you.

560
00:25:19,851 --> 00:25:21,519
You do that just like your Gram.

561
00:25:21,561 --> 00:25:24,064
I feel her presence
every time I'm in here.

562
00:25:24,105 --> 00:25:26,066
You know, it is so great
you're doing the...

563
00:25:26,107 --> 00:25:28,068
the bookstore
for one last season.

564
00:25:28,109 --> 00:25:29,819
You gonna join the festival
committee too?

565
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:32,113
Because I'd really like to get
my Book Nook back.

566
00:25:32,155 --> 00:25:34,157
I might try to make
the next one.

567
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:37,577
But first I have to get
through this event tonight.

568
00:25:37,619 --> 00:25:39,704
Oh, I hope I don't faint.

569
00:25:39,746 --> 00:25:40,872
Oh, nonsense!

570
00:25:40,914 --> 00:25:43,625
I will splash you
with water if I have to.

571
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:45,460
I might buy
a ticket to see that.

572
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:47,420
Oh, I'll get you
right now for free!

573
00:25:47,462 --> 00:25:49,381
No, I'm already wet! Stop.

574
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:52,342
Oh, I do love a good
spring sun shower.

575
00:25:52,384 --> 00:25:53,718
Oh, yeah, I do too.

576
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,887
As long as it's not too strong
and knocks the blossom

577
00:25:55,929 --> 00:25:57,764
off the tree.
-That can happen?

578
00:25:57,806 --> 00:25:58,848
Oh, sure, that could happen.

579
00:25:58,890 --> 00:26:00,267
But it's part of the process.

580
00:26:00,308 --> 00:26:02,310
I mean, you need rain
for things to grow.

581
00:26:02,352 --> 00:26:04,104
Hey, Dad, I just, uh,
set up in there,

582
00:26:04,145 --> 00:26:05,397
if you wanna bring
the chairs in.

583
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:07,148
And then I have a few more
in the truck.

584
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:08,525
Sorry about all the puddles.

585
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,485
Oh, I came prepared.

586
00:26:10,527 --> 00:26:12,195
Sorry, I'm in your way.

587
00:26:13,697 --> 00:26:16,825
Oh, I loved doing all this
with your Gram.

588
00:26:16,866 --> 00:26:18,827
It brings back such
great memories.

589
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:21,830
I stayed up all night,
but I did it!

590
00:26:21,871 --> 00:26:23,915
Wow, Molly,
this looks incredible!

591
00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:25,792
Don't you have some notes
to work on?

592
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:27,085
We can arrange this.

593
00:26:27,127 --> 00:26:28,253
Okay. Thanks.

594
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:32,757
Why do you look so nervous?

595
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:33,842
You're great with people.

596
00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:35,135
What do you have
to be afraid of?

597
00:26:35,176 --> 00:26:36,886
One on one? Sure.

598
00:26:36,928 --> 00:26:38,972
But this was my grandma's thing.

599
00:26:39,556 --> 00:26:41,683
I like living stories
in my head.

600
00:26:41,725 --> 00:26:43,143
Not out loud.

601
00:26:43,184 --> 00:26:45,645
Like when I invented a whole
fake romance between us

602
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:47,230
when we were teens.
-Really?

603
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:50,483
Which I never told you about,
so you didn't know.

604
00:26:50,859 --> 00:26:53,320
Well, at least your
imagination has good taste.

605
00:26:54,029 --> 00:26:55,405
I have an idea.

606
00:26:56,072 --> 00:26:57,324
Come with me.

607
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:05,081
No way.

608
00:27:05,123 --> 00:27:06,875
-It's still here?
-Still here.

609
00:27:08,335 --> 00:27:09,461
What do you say?

610
00:27:09,502 --> 00:27:10,670
Oh, don't even.

611
00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:12,922
Come on! One swing.
It'll clear your mind.

612
00:27:12,964 --> 00:27:14,549
I'm still way
too short for this thing.

613
00:27:14,591 --> 00:27:16,801
Well, lucky for you, I'm tall.
I'll steady it.

614
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:18,636
Giddy up!

615
00:27:18,678 --> 00:27:19,679
Okay.

616
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:23,350
Look at that-- oh!

617
00:27:23,391 --> 00:27:25,143
It's like riding a bike.

618
00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:27,103
-Okay, if this thing snaps...
-See? It all comes back.

619
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:29,814
-You are carrying me back.
-Deal.

620
00:27:29,856 --> 00:27:31,608
♪

621
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:42,661
Oh, my gosh. Okay.

622
00:27:42,702 --> 00:27:44,371
-Okay.
-Okay, okay.

623
00:27:45,955 --> 00:27:46,998
Oh! Oh, oh.

624
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,666
I got you, I got you,
I got you.

625
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:50,085
I got you, I got you.

626
00:27:50,126 --> 00:27:51,169
-I got you.
-Thank you.

627
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:52,629
You're welcome.

628
00:27:57,634 --> 00:27:59,511
So, mind clear?

629
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:02,931
Yeah, actually.
I feel like I'm 15 again.

630
00:28:03,431 --> 00:28:04,432
Perfect!

631
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:07,268
Thank you.

632
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:08,603
I needed that.

633
00:28:09,813 --> 00:28:11,898
I feel more like myself here.

634
00:28:12,816 --> 00:28:15,610
Yeah, Driftless
will do that to you.

635
00:28:16,236 --> 00:28:18,405
You know, I was thinking
about your situation,

636
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:20,198
and it's kind of like, um,

637
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,575
Tonight's book.
The Year of Waiting.

638
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:25,286
How Charles, he's not happy
with his

639
00:28:25,328 --> 00:28:28,289
circumstances, but he keeps
moving forward,

640
00:28:28,331 --> 00:28:29,791
even though he's afraid.

641
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:35,964
I could see some similarities
between your situation.

642
00:28:36,005 --> 00:28:37,132
You read the book?

643
00:28:37,173 --> 00:28:38,591
Yeah, of course I read the book.

644
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:40,427
It's-it's your big night.

645
00:28:41,094 --> 00:28:43,471
Sounds like you should be
leading the discussion.

646
00:28:43,513 --> 00:28:44,556
Mmm.

647
00:28:45,473 --> 00:28:48,143
No, I'm just recycling
your insights.

648
00:28:48,768 --> 00:28:50,145
Hmm.

649
00:28:50,186 --> 00:28:52,772
I guess I'm full of wisdom
you didn't know you needed.

650
00:28:54,774 --> 00:28:55,984
But, yeah. Okay.

651
00:28:56,025 --> 00:28:58,403
I can kinda see
the parallel here.

652
00:28:59,946 --> 00:29:02,615
Don't you just love-hate
when a story

653
00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:03,992
holds up a mirror like that.

654
00:29:04,033 --> 00:29:05,743
I love that you love it.

655
00:29:10,290 --> 00:29:11,458
Okay.

656
00:29:11,499 --> 00:29:14,335
Am I crazy or is there...

657
00:29:14,377 --> 00:29:15,879
a vibe between...

658
00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:19,841
Your dad and-and Winnie?

659
00:29:19,883 --> 00:29:22,218
Or am I just making up
love stories in my head again?

660
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,304
No. No, no, no, no.
You're-you're not crazy.

661
00:29:24,345 --> 00:29:25,472
There's definitely a vibe.

662
00:29:25,513 --> 00:29:27,682
Everybody sees it
except for them.

663
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:32,145
Okay, I should probably
get back and finish

664
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:33,897
all the last-minute things.

665
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:35,607
Thanks.

666
00:29:37,484 --> 00:29:39,569
-I'll see you later.
-See you later.

667
00:29:56,544 --> 00:29:57,754
It's a great turnout.

668
00:29:57,796 --> 00:29:58,838
Mm-hmm.

669
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,757
I guess people really
miss book club.

670
00:30:00,798 --> 00:30:01,716
Yeah.

671
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:05,136
-May I come in?
-Mm-hmm.

672
00:30:12,936 --> 00:30:15,021
Your Gram would be so proud
of you.

673
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:19,776
Breathe in with me.
Count of four.

674
00:30:23,196 --> 00:30:24,447
Hold.

675
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:26,825
Out for four.

676
00:30:31,538 --> 00:30:32,705
Good.

677
00:30:32,747 --> 00:30:34,082
- Okay.
- Okay.

678
00:30:34,123 --> 00:30:35,834
-I'm ready.
-Go get 'em.

679
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:50,139
Welcome, everyone.

680
00:30:50,181 --> 00:30:54,102
It is my honor to bring back my
grandma's favorite tradition.

681
00:30:54,143 --> 00:30:57,689
She loved apple blossom season.
After a long winter,

682
00:30:57,730 --> 00:31:00,900
it reminded her that
something beautiful was coming,

683
00:31:00,942 --> 00:31:02,735
even if it was fleeting.

684
00:31:04,779 --> 00:31:07,615
And that's what
this story reflects.

685
00:31:07,657 --> 00:31:08,866
The hope,

686
00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:10,535
the waiting,

687
00:31:10,577 --> 00:31:13,371
and the quiet courage
it takes to believe that

688
00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:15,164
something new is possible.

689
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:17,250
She believed there is
greatness all around us,

690
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:19,502
and had faith in
the unexpected.

691
00:31:20,587 --> 00:31:23,798
On your tables, you'll find
little slips of paper.

692
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,884
Write a literary love note.

693
00:31:25,925 --> 00:31:27,802
Something the book
made you feel,

694
00:31:27,844 --> 00:31:29,178
or something from your heart,

695
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:31,097
and hang it on our paper tree.

696
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:33,349
We'll make our own
blossoms inside.

697
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:37,103
Oh, and a huge shout-out
to Molly Teller,

698
00:31:37,145 --> 00:31:40,565
our resident rock star with
the best book recommendations,

699
00:31:40,607 --> 00:31:43,818
who also made all of
the amazing treats tonight.

700
00:31:46,154 --> 00:31:47,405
Thank you.

701
00:31:53,661 --> 00:31:54,829
Incoming!

702
00:31:54,871 --> 00:31:56,122
New shipments.

703
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:58,499
I caught Molly wrestling
these outside.

704
00:31:58,541 --> 00:32:00,251
Figured I'd lend a hand.

705
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:03,880
Whoa. What is that about?

706
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:06,174
Oh, just thought he'd like
something comfy

707
00:32:06,215 --> 00:32:07,675
for when he pops by.

708
00:32:07,717 --> 00:32:08,926
-Oh.
-What?

709
00:32:08,968 --> 00:32:10,094
It's temporary.

710
00:32:10,136 --> 00:32:12,847
Denial is the first step
of cat ownership.

711
00:32:13,348 --> 00:32:15,600
He's here more than some of
your regulars.

712
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:16,893
Does he have a name yet?

713
00:32:16,934 --> 00:32:18,144
What do the neighbors call him?

714
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:20,021
Oh, he's such a drifter.

715
00:32:20,063 --> 00:32:22,982
Never sticks around long enough
for anyone to name him.

716
00:32:23,024 --> 00:32:24,275
But I guess you're
the exception.

717
00:32:24,692 --> 00:32:25,693
Hmm.

718
00:32:26,235 --> 00:32:28,196
What name suits you?

719
00:32:28,237 --> 00:32:30,823
You're always creeping,
but it's cute.

720
00:32:30,865 --> 00:32:32,200
Chirping at birds.

721
00:32:32,241 --> 00:32:33,451
Digging up plants.

722
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,286
Yeah, the white clover.

723
00:32:35,828 --> 00:32:36,829
Wait.

724
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:38,623
What about Clover?

725
00:32:39,874 --> 00:32:41,334
He's lucky he found you.

726
00:32:42,669 --> 00:32:43,920
Hey.

727
00:32:43,961 --> 00:32:45,296
You like the name Clover?

728
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:49,050
I bet your grandmother
would've loved it.

729
00:32:52,136 --> 00:32:54,222
Oh, I'm so glad that
shipment came in.

730
00:32:54,764 --> 00:32:57,433
I can't find Gram's copy
anywhere, so I'll just have

731
00:32:57,475 --> 00:32:59,644
to jot my notes down
in a blank one.

732
00:32:59,686 --> 00:33:02,397
Oh, this title's been
flying off the shelves.

733
00:33:02,438 --> 00:33:04,190
I'm glad we got the restock.

734
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:09,612
Uh, Molly, would you
finish unboxing these?

735
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:12,365
I'm gonna go work on Max's
brand story with him.

736
00:33:12,407 --> 00:33:13,783
Consider it handled.

737
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:14,617
Thanks.

738
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:16,577
Max, your dad's
pizza night

739
00:33:16,619 --> 00:33:18,204
at the taproom
is tonight, right?

740
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:19,497
Yep. Every Friday.

741
00:33:19,539 --> 00:33:22,542
Whole band, pizza, dancing.
It's gonna be fun.

742
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:24,293
Uh, well, I would love
to treat you all

743
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:27,046
as a thanks for helping with
the events, if you're free.

744
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:29,215
Well, Earl already
invited me to come hang,

745
00:33:29,257 --> 00:33:30,425
so I'll be there.

746
00:33:30,466 --> 00:33:31,759
-Count me in.
-Alright.

747
00:33:31,801 --> 00:33:33,094
See you tonight.

748
00:33:39,434 --> 00:33:40,935
Well, this is new.

749
00:33:40,977 --> 00:33:43,521
Mm-hmm. Much to
Dad's disapproval.

750
00:33:43,563 --> 00:33:44,731
Okay.

751
00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:46,232
So...

752
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:48,067
this...

753
00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:49,986
is kind of my baby.

754
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:54,282
It's slow, manual, but it pulls
flavors like nothing else.

755
00:33:54,323 --> 00:33:55,700
It's not great for
mass production,

756
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:57,577
so it doesn't get used
as much as it should.

757
00:33:57,994 --> 00:34:00,079
And over here,

758
00:34:00,121 --> 00:34:02,874
we have my spring batch.

759
00:34:02,915 --> 00:34:05,752
So, I've got elderflower,

760
00:34:05,793 --> 00:34:07,670
huckleberry and raspberry.

761
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:10,214
Wow. It smells amazing in here.

762
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:13,009
How do you decide
what to try next?

763
00:34:13,259 --> 00:34:15,011
Instinct mostly.

764
00:34:15,344 --> 00:34:16,888
But, um...

765
00:34:16,929 --> 00:34:19,098
some flavors just kinda
grab me.

766
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:22,226
Others come from experimentation
and then others it's just

767
00:34:22,268 --> 00:34:23,770
from whatever's in season.

768
00:34:23,811 --> 00:34:26,105
There's inspiration everywhere.

769
00:34:26,606 --> 00:34:29,067
There's no names yet,
maybe you can help with that.

770
00:34:31,402 --> 00:34:32,361
Mmm.

771
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:34,030
Tastes like...

772
00:34:35,072 --> 00:34:37,116
A kiss waiting to happen.

773
00:34:39,118 --> 00:34:40,661
I like it.

774
00:34:40,703 --> 00:34:42,205
I'll put a warning label on it.

775
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:44,582
Sweetened with honey,
with a side of swooning.

776
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:45,875
Honey.

777
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,877
That's it. Honey kiss.

778
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:49,045
Honey kiss.

779
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:53,424
Now, this one is, um, raspberry.

780
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:54,759
This reminded me of...

781
00:34:54,801 --> 00:34:56,636
do you remember that summer
that we went

782
00:34:56,677 --> 00:34:59,472
picking wild raspberries
and that bear showed up?

783
00:35:00,139 --> 00:35:01,432
You remember that?

784
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:04,852
Yeah, of course. I've never
seen you run that fast.

785
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:06,687
I don't think that's
the recommended

786
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:08,189
survival strategy.

787
00:35:08,439 --> 00:35:10,608
We survived,
that's what's important.

788
00:35:11,275 --> 00:35:13,903
Tastes like a narrow escape.

789
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:17,615
You certainly think like
a storyteller.

790
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:22,078
Okay, now this is
the elderberry.

791
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:24,789
Let me know what
you think of this.

792
00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:29,293
Hmm.

793
00:35:30,086 --> 00:35:31,379
Tart.

794
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:32,672
But it settles.

795
00:35:33,005 --> 00:35:34,966
Makes you wanna go back
for more

796
00:35:35,758 --> 00:35:38,511
Like an ex you give
a second chance to.

797
00:35:39,428 --> 00:35:40,847
Second chance.

798
00:35:40,888 --> 00:35:43,391
That's good.
That's really good.

799
00:35:43,432 --> 00:35:45,393
You've got a way with words.

800
00:35:45,434 --> 00:35:48,938
A little less daunting
than a 300-page novel.

801
00:35:50,189 --> 00:35:52,650
Yeah, speaking of which...

802
00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:54,610
When you were unpacking,
I noticed you paused

803
00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:56,279
at one book.

804
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,822
Is everything okay?

805
00:35:57,864 --> 00:35:59,031
Yeah. Um...

806
00:36:00,074 --> 00:36:02,243
-That author, Tessa Marks,
-Mm-hmm.

807
00:36:02,285 --> 00:36:04,579
we were writing buddies
in grad school.

808
00:36:04,620 --> 00:36:08,332
We used to share drafts,
snacks, dreams.

809
00:36:08,374 --> 00:36:10,084
And then what happened?

810
00:36:10,126 --> 00:36:11,669
Life happened.

811
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:13,379
Gram got sick.

812
00:36:13,421 --> 00:36:14,755
Went through a breakup.

813
00:36:14,797 --> 00:36:16,841
More rejection letters, I...

814
00:36:18,593 --> 00:36:21,888
I started to lose momentum
as Tessa took off.

815
00:36:23,097 --> 00:36:27,518
I felt like I was holding
her back, so I pulled away.

816
00:36:28,186 --> 00:36:29,645
I'm proud of her.

817
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:31,063
I am.

818
00:36:31,105 --> 00:36:34,817
It's just hard when it
represents a life you wanted,

819
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:35,693
you know?

820
00:36:36,485 --> 00:36:37,778
Right.

821
00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:40,114
Well, your story isn't over yet.

822
00:36:41,616 --> 00:36:45,661
I gave myself five years to
finish my draft by this spring.

823
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:48,080
I haven't touched it.

824
00:36:48,122 --> 00:36:50,708
But I also never
let it go, so...

825
00:36:51,208 --> 00:36:53,419
I've just been drifting.

826
00:36:54,337 --> 00:36:56,088
All the way to Driftless.

827
00:36:57,381 --> 00:36:59,008
How poetic.

828
00:36:59,050 --> 00:37:02,511
At this point, I've lost belief
that I can even do it.

829
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:06,766
I have wasted too many years,
and it's time to move on.

830
00:37:07,850 --> 00:37:09,101
But, hey.

831
00:37:09,143 --> 00:37:12,104
You get me for one last
creative sprint.

832
00:37:12,146 --> 00:37:14,649
So, I wanna hear more
about your passion.

833
00:37:14,690 --> 00:37:16,192
Your vision.

834
00:37:16,233 --> 00:37:18,361
Okay. Um...

835
00:37:18,402 --> 00:37:20,196
Oh, have I shown you the merch?

836
00:37:20,237 --> 00:37:21,155
Okay.

837
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:25,201
It's inspiring being out here

838
00:37:25,785 --> 00:37:27,828
makes me feel connected
to something

839
00:37:27,870 --> 00:37:29,288
much bigger than myself.

840
00:37:29,747 --> 00:37:32,708
It's a powerful thing.
It's kinda like my canvas.

841
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:35,044
Because you're an artist.

842
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:38,172
Oh, I don't know about that.
Maybe, uh, a mad scientist.

843
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:41,425
Nah. You write with taste
instead of words.

844
00:37:43,052 --> 00:37:44,345
Tell that to my dad.

845
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:48,266
He never really understood
my creative impulses.

846
00:37:48,307 --> 00:37:50,142
He supports you.

847
00:37:50,184 --> 00:37:53,020
He just doesn't understand
the way you're wired.

848
00:37:53,980 --> 00:37:57,441
But there's more to you
than making good recipes.

849
00:37:57,483 --> 00:37:59,068
I'll keep digging.

850
00:38:00,319 --> 00:38:02,280
What? Here, I thought
I was an open book,

851
00:38:02,321 --> 00:38:04,407
but are you saying
I'm a closed barrel?

852
00:38:04,907 --> 00:38:06,617
Not tightly sealed.

853
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:07,618
Promise.

854
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:15,793
They're back from a long winter.

855
00:38:16,544 --> 00:38:18,295
It's so beautiful.

856
00:38:18,337 --> 00:38:19,588
It really is.

857

♪

858
00:38:28,222 --> 00:38:31,392
Thank you all for your help
with the bookstore events.

859
00:38:31,434 --> 00:38:34,145
It means so much and I know
Gram would be proud.

So, what's next on
the schedule?

863
00:38:41,694 --> 00:38:42,945
Poetry night.

864
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:45,865
It's time to get deep
and dramatic.

865
00:38:45,906 --> 00:38:47,199
So, the mic will be open

866
00:38:47,241 --> 00:38:49,452
for people to read from
the poetry collection.

867
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:53,706
Or if inspiration strikes,
read something original.

868
00:38:53,748 --> 00:38:56,083
I'm secretly hoping
someone does.

869
00:38:56,125 --> 00:39:00,212
Has anyone here ever written
a poem or been given one?

870
00:39:00,254 --> 00:39:02,256
Oh, that would be nice, but...

871
00:39:02,298 --> 00:39:04,633
that wasn't my husband's thing.

872
00:39:04,675 --> 00:39:07,762
Henry would show me his love
in his own quiet ways.

873
00:39:08,262 --> 00:39:12,850
Anyway, enough of that.
Isn't anyone going to dance?

874
00:39:13,642 --> 00:39:16,103
You two, go on.
Get up there.

875
00:39:16,145 --> 00:39:17,521
-We'll guard the table.
-Yeah.

- You want to?
- Go for it.

- Sure.
- Come on, have some fun.

00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:24,487
Yeah.

any more expansion than that,

894
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:09,740
Yeah, well...

895
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:12,910
I'm pretty sure every girl
had a crush on you.

896
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,706
I just kept mine
as a story in my head.

897
00:40:17,748 --> 00:40:20,042
All the stories in your head.

898
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:24,171
You know, I-I'd love to read
that manuscript.

899
00:40:26,048 --> 00:40:28,134
Can you tell me what it's about?

900
00:40:28,175 --> 00:40:30,803
Oh, I... I can
hardly even remember.

901
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:33,139
Okay. I'll keep digging.

902
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:37,143
Okay.

903
00:40:37,184 --> 00:40:40,521
-It's about a teen love story.
-Mm-hmm.

904
00:40:40,563 --> 00:40:44,358
And it takes place
in a small farming town.

905
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,485
Nothing like Driftless.

906
00:40:46,527 --> 00:40:50,489
And lead boy is not
based on anyone I know.

907
00:40:51,365 --> 00:40:55,035
Now... I definitely have
to read it.

908
00:40:55,077 --> 00:40:56,996
It's not finished. Remember?

909
00:40:57,955 --> 00:40:59,832
You should finish it.

910
00:41:14,054 --> 00:41:19,435
♪

911
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:45,044
Yes! I'm so invested.

912
00:41:45,085 --> 00:41:47,588
The character arcs are
building beautifully.

913
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:49,632
Can't wait to read
the next chapter.

914
00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:51,592
XO, Tessa.

915
00:41:58,557 --> 00:42:01,477
Oh, sweet girl.
Oh, yeah.

916
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:09,818
Um, Vanessa dropped this off.

917
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:11,362
Oh. Thanks.

918
00:42:11,737 --> 00:42:14,782
Yeah, she said the buyers are
part of some development group

919
00:42:14,823 --> 00:42:17,409
buying up all the local stores
in the county.

920
00:42:17,451 --> 00:42:19,203
Why doesn't that sound like
a good thing?

921
00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:21,497
Because it's not.

922
00:42:25,834 --> 00:42:27,836
They wanna gut
the bookstore completely

923
00:42:27,878 --> 00:42:29,838
and turn it into condos.

924
00:42:35,844 --> 00:42:39,473
Let your faith guide you
on the journey.

925
00:42:39,515 --> 00:42:41,350
It knows the way.

926
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:45,062
Hey, Elise.

927
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:46,146
Got a minute?

928
00:42:46,188 --> 00:42:47,523
Hi. Yeah, sure.

929
00:42:47,565 --> 00:42:48,983
Just following up on the offer.

930
00:42:49,024 --> 00:42:50,776
Did you get a chance
to review it?

931
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:52,194
I did.

932
00:42:53,696 --> 00:42:55,823
I'm wondering if we can
wait until after

933
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:57,324
the Apple Blossom Festival.

934
00:42:57,366 --> 00:43:00,035
I'll still be here then,
and I would love

935
00:43:00,077 --> 00:43:03,205
if we could try to find
someone to buy this as-is.

936
00:43:03,247 --> 00:43:04,832
Keep it a bookstore.

937
00:43:04,873 --> 00:43:08,419
It's a really generous offer.
We don't want them backing out.

938
00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:09,837
I know, but...

939
00:43:09,878 --> 00:43:11,839
do you think you could
try to buy us some time?

940
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,882
Just see if there's
any other interest.

941
00:43:13,924 --> 00:43:15,426
I really think it's
the right thing.

942
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:17,094
I'll see what I can do.

943
00:43:17,469 --> 00:43:18,470
Thanks.

944
00:43:20,806 --> 00:43:22,683
Hey. Sorry I'm late.

945
00:43:22,725 --> 00:43:24,143
Oh, hey.

946
00:43:24,184 --> 00:43:27,021
For any of you who haven't
met her yet, this is Elise.

947
00:43:27,062 --> 00:43:30,024
We now have the Book Nook back.

948
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:31,317
Perfect timing.

949
00:43:31,358 --> 00:43:33,277
We were just about to get
the blossom report.

950
00:43:33,319 --> 00:43:36,155
Oh, yeah.
Blossom report.

951
00:43:36,196 --> 00:43:37,197
Alright.

952
00:43:38,532 --> 00:43:42,036
Well, uh, they're
a tight cluster.

953
00:43:42,077 --> 00:43:45,289
Should be ready to blossom
in a couple of days.

954
00:43:45,331 --> 00:43:48,250
Great. I will update
the tracker on the website.

955
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:49,668
Uh...

956
00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:51,712
Winnie, last time you uploaded
a picture of your elbow.

957
00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:53,464
That was one time.

958
00:43:54,048 --> 00:43:55,341
Three times.

959
00:43:55,382 --> 00:43:58,469
Are you tracking me
or the blossoms?

960
00:43:59,219 --> 00:44:00,554
Um...

961
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:06,602
Well, if the website
ever does behave,

962
00:44:06,643 --> 00:44:08,687
I have a few Book Nook updates.

963
00:44:09,605 --> 00:44:12,775
I'm putting together
curated sets of stories,

964
00:44:12,816 --> 00:44:15,444
and in each set,
there will be something hidden.

965
00:44:15,486 --> 00:44:18,614
Think of it as literary
Easter eggs for those

966
00:44:18,655 --> 00:44:20,282
who like to look close.

967
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:23,035
And for anyone looking
for inspiration.

968
00:44:23,369 --> 00:44:24,370
Okay!

969
00:44:24,411 --> 00:44:26,664
Just like your Gram used to say,

970
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:29,208
sometimes small things
can make the biggest impact.

971
00:44:29,249 --> 00:44:30,459
That concludes our meeting.

972
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:31,543
Coffee?

973
00:44:32,211 --> 00:44:33,420
Sure.

974
00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:36,632
One cream, two sugars,
stirred clockwise.

975
00:44:36,673 --> 00:44:38,926
Don't ask why I remember that.

976
00:44:39,927 --> 00:44:44,264
You two seem to be
getting along awfully well.

977
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,350
She's really something else.

978
00:44:46,392 --> 00:44:48,769
I mean, she keeps me on my,
on my toes.

979
00:44:49,103 --> 00:44:52,022
Last time someone did that
was your-your mother.

980
00:44:52,064 --> 00:44:53,315
Both strong women.

981
00:44:53,357 --> 00:44:55,693
You'd do well to pay attention.

982
00:44:55,734 --> 00:44:57,069
What do you mean by that?

983
00:44:57,403 --> 00:44:59,029
I think you know
what I mean by that, Dad.

984
00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:00,823
No, I'm not sure what
you mean by that.

985
00:45:00,864 --> 00:45:02,324
What, err--

986
00:45:02,366 --> 00:45:05,160
You know, sometimes I find
it hard to say things out loud,

987
00:45:05,202 --> 00:45:08,205
but it's easier to write
my thoughts down.

988
00:45:08,914 --> 00:45:12,084
The next Books and Blooms
event theme is courage.

989
00:45:12,126 --> 00:45:14,962
Maybe I could help you turn
your thoughts into a poem.

990
00:45:15,504 --> 00:45:16,880
A poem?

991
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:22,386
Oh, no. No, no. No, I-I...

992
00:45:22,428 --> 00:45:24,263
leave that to
the professionals.

993
00:45:24,304 --> 00:45:26,098
Oh, it doesn't
have to be perfect.

994
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:27,558
Share what's in your heart.

995
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,937
Well, I'll-I'll just
leave you two to it and, uh...

996
00:45:31,979 --> 00:45:34,398
Hey, listen, don't forget to
check the south gate irrigation.

997
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,066
-It's been acting up.
-I know, I know.

998
00:45:36,108 --> 00:45:37,359
-Alright?
-Yep. I'm on it.

999
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:38,360
Good.

1000
00:45:39,445 --> 00:45:41,363
I didn't mean to push him.

1001
00:45:41,405 --> 00:45:42,531
Do you think he's upset?

1002
00:45:42,573 --> 00:45:44,074
No. No, no, no, that was fine.

1003
00:45:44,116 --> 00:45:46,869
It's-- that's just his
defense mechanism. He deflects.

1004
00:45:46,910 --> 00:45:48,912
But I saw a little glimmer
in his eye.

1005
00:45:48,954 --> 00:45:50,372
I bet he'll think about it.

1006
00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:52,916
And it doesn't bother you
to see him dating someone else?

1007
00:45:52,958 --> 00:45:54,334
Oh, no, no. Not at all.

1008
00:45:54,376 --> 00:45:56,003
My mom passed away
a long time ago.

1009
00:45:56,044 --> 00:45:57,671
I just want him to be happy.

1010
00:45:59,506 --> 00:46:01,925
Are you, uh, ready to get
started on those flowers

1011
00:46:01,967 --> 00:46:03,135
for the bookstore?
-Yeah.

1012
00:46:03,177 --> 00:46:04,678
I have some stuff
set up over here.

1013
00:46:13,061 --> 00:46:16,106
Look at these brave little guys.

1014
00:46:16,148 --> 00:46:18,400
Gram sure did
love these.

1015
00:46:18,442 --> 00:46:20,235
Yes, she did.

1016
00:46:20,277 --> 00:46:21,862
Oh, um...

1017
00:46:21,904 --> 00:46:23,030
Stay cool.

1018
00:46:23,071 --> 00:46:24,531
Stay cool,
but your friend is back.

1019
00:46:24,573 --> 00:46:25,949
-No, no.
-It's okay.

1020
00:46:25,991 --> 00:46:27,826
Tell him to go over to
the blossoms, stay away from me!

1021
00:46:27,868 --> 00:46:29,661
I got it. There you go.
Buzz off!

1022
00:46:31,830 --> 00:46:33,373
They love those blossoms.

1023
00:46:33,415 --> 00:46:34,791
-Hmm.
-They're so sweet.

1024
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:36,877
Did you know that you
could eat the petals?

1025
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:38,545
-Of the apple blossoms?
-Yeah.

1026
00:46:40,047 --> 00:46:42,466
You put 'em in tea
or baked goods.

1027
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,176
They're surprisingly good.

1028
00:46:44,218 --> 00:46:45,844
Wait, Max.

1029
00:46:46,678 --> 00:46:49,723
Why don't you use them
as your standout cider flavor?

1030
00:46:50,182 --> 00:46:51,975
That's a really good idea.

1031
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:56,355
That's a really good idea.
You know, you're a genius.

1032
00:46:56,396 --> 00:46:57,981
Has anybody ever told you that?

1033
00:46:58,023 --> 00:46:59,566
How did I not think of that?

1034
00:47:00,067 --> 00:47:01,276
'Cause you didn't have me.

1035
00:47:01,318 --> 00:47:02,402
Ah.

1036
00:47:02,444 --> 00:47:03,487
That's right.

1037
00:47:04,530 --> 00:47:06,156
She's modest too.

1038
00:47:08,992 --> 00:47:11,161
I think these "blind date
with a book" baskets

1039
00:47:11,203 --> 00:47:12,704
are gonna turn out great.

1040
00:47:12,746 --> 00:47:14,623
Hopefully they're a hit
after poetry night.

1041
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,875
I am so excited for
the discussions.

1042
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:18,877
I have all of my notes
right here.

1043
00:47:20,087 --> 00:47:21,755
Hey. What's wrong?

1044
00:47:21,797 --> 00:47:24,466
You look like you're
about to confess to a crime.

1045
00:47:24,508 --> 00:47:26,802
Honestly, kinda feels like one.

1046
00:47:27,469 --> 00:47:29,930
Oh, no. What happened?

1047
00:47:29,972 --> 00:47:32,224
Remember that pastry workshop
I was telling you about?

1048
00:47:32,266 --> 00:47:33,225
Yeah.

1049
00:47:33,267 --> 00:47:34,726
They moved it to tonight.

1050
00:47:34,977 --> 00:47:36,728
Like, tonight-tonight?

1051
00:47:36,770 --> 00:47:38,188
During the poetry reading?

1052
00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:40,941
And I can't be in
two places at once.

1053
00:47:40,983 --> 00:47:44,027
I feel like I can't turn down
this opportunity either.

1054
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:45,320
Hey, Molly.

1055
00:47:45,362 --> 00:47:48,365
You have helped keep
this place afloat, and...

1056
00:47:48,407 --> 00:47:51,201
you've earned the right
to chase your own things.

1057
00:47:51,243 --> 00:47:53,996
Okay, well, I'm gonna help you
until I have to leave.

1058
00:47:54,580 --> 00:47:55,539
Okay.

1059
00:47:56,999 --> 00:48:00,919
♪

1060
00:48:02,170 --> 00:48:03,714
Look at this.

1061
00:48:03,755 --> 00:48:05,674
Book Club's a success.

1062
00:48:05,716 --> 00:48:08,010
You think you'll ever get
used to being the main event?

1063
00:48:08,051 --> 00:48:10,596
Honestly, it's growing on me.

1064
00:48:12,514 --> 00:48:15,434
Wait, where's my copy?
I need to find it.

1065
00:48:15,475 --> 00:48:17,185
Uh, it's not in these?

1066
00:48:17,227 --> 00:48:19,021
It's gotta be
around here somewhere.

1067
00:48:21,231 --> 00:48:25,277
Well, could it be in
one of the boxes? Or....

1068
00:48:25,319 --> 00:48:26,361
Oh...

1069
00:48:26,403 --> 00:48:27,696
Mine was the one
with all the tabs.

1070
00:48:27,738 --> 00:48:29,698
I had every discussion point
in there.

1071
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:31,700
Okay, so...

1072
00:48:31,742 --> 00:48:33,285
What are you gonna do?

1073
00:48:33,535 --> 00:48:35,329
I'm gonna have to improvise.

1074
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:40,834
Welcome, everyone.

1075
00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:46,006
Uh, I had notes to guide us
on today's discussion, but...

1076
00:48:46,048 --> 00:48:47,633
my copy's gone missing.

1077
00:48:47,674 --> 00:48:50,093
So, we're just gonna
roll with it.

1078
00:48:50,636 --> 00:48:52,262
Meet my co-host,

1079
00:48:52,304 --> 00:48:55,724
and the new Driftless
bookstore mascot,

1080
00:48:55,766 --> 00:48:57,267
Clover the cat.

1081
00:48:57,768 --> 00:48:59,478
Clover just...

1082
00:48:59,519 --> 00:49:03,023
wandered in one day
and refused to leave.

1083
00:49:03,065 --> 00:49:05,317
Oh, everyone give it up
for Max,

1084
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:07,819
who provided the delicious
cider and tonight's

1085
00:49:07,861 --> 00:49:09,947
plant pairing, the crocus.

1086
00:49:10,989 --> 00:49:12,324
Look what I found.

1087
00:49:12,366 --> 00:49:14,284
It's okay, I'll use
the new copy.

1088
00:49:15,202 --> 00:49:17,329
I think you're gonna
wanna read from this.

1089
00:49:24,127 --> 00:49:26,296
This belonged to my grandma.

1090
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:28,173
I had planned on reading
one of

1091
00:49:28,215 --> 00:49:30,592
my favorite
poems tonight, but...

1092
00:49:30,634 --> 00:49:33,470
I think I'll read something
Gram once wrote instead.

1093
00:49:36,431 --> 00:49:39,226
Courage isn't the shout
of certainty.

1094
00:49:39,267 --> 00:49:42,354
It's the whisper
that says, "try anyway".

1095
00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:44,815
Some of the best
things I ever did

1096
00:49:44,856 --> 00:49:46,900
started before I was ready.

1097
00:49:46,942 --> 00:49:48,235
Falling in love,

1098
00:49:48,276 --> 00:49:49,736
becoming a mother,

1099
00:49:49,778 --> 00:49:52,364
and opening this bookstore.

1100
00:49:52,406 --> 00:49:55,909
The scariest things
cracked my soul open.

1101
00:49:55,951 --> 00:49:57,160
So, take the leap.

1102
00:49:59,579 --> 00:50:01,832
Again and again.

1103
00:50:07,379 --> 00:50:08,880
Alright.

1104
00:50:08,922 --> 00:50:10,757
Who wants to share?

1105
00:50:27,858 --> 00:50:31,027
Thank you.
Is there anyone else?

1106
00:50:32,529 --> 00:50:34,197
Oh. Excuse me.

1107
00:50:47,002 --> 00:50:49,171
Most of you folks are reading
from the poetry book.

1108
00:50:49,212 --> 00:50:51,214
But I thought I'd try to, uh...

1109
00:50:51,256 --> 00:50:53,467
write one myself, and, uh...

1110
00:50:53,508 --> 00:50:56,136
Believe me,
I'm no writer, but...

1111
00:50:57,012 --> 00:50:59,431
Well, here it goes.

1112
00:51:02,476 --> 00:51:04,770
I thought one love
was all I'd get.

1113
00:51:05,812 --> 00:51:07,314
Frozen heart.

1114
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:09,691
No room for regret.

1115
00:51:12,527 --> 00:51:14,112
But then you walked in.

1116
00:51:15,572 --> 00:51:16,907
Changed my plan.

1117
00:51:18,617 --> 00:51:20,327
Life nudged me.
Said, "go on".

1118
00:51:21,536 --> 00:51:22,788
Try again.

1119
00:51:24,456 --> 00:51:27,209
It's never too late
to try something new.

1120
00:51:29,377 --> 00:51:31,671
I guess even old roots...

1121
00:51:33,298 --> 00:51:35,217
can bloom again too.

1122
00:51:36,635 --> 00:51:38,428
Yeah!

1123
00:51:58,824 --> 00:52:01,284
Your poem was spectacular.

1124
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:03,870
-Really?
-Yeah.

1125
00:52:05,038 --> 00:52:06,665
What do you say
your something new

1126
00:52:06,706 --> 00:52:08,834
is taking me out
on a date tomorrow?

1127
00:52:10,877 --> 00:52:12,128
I'd love that.

1128
00:52:16,883 --> 00:52:18,426
Another success.

1129
00:52:18,468 --> 00:52:20,137
For me or your dad?

1130
00:52:20,178 --> 00:52:22,639
Well, I meant for
the bookstore, but...

1131
00:52:22,681 --> 00:52:24,224
yeah, he did good.

1132
00:52:24,266 --> 00:52:26,143
-Yeah.
-So did you.

1133
00:52:26,184 --> 00:52:30,146
Hey, I noticed you tonight
recommending Tessa's book.

1134
00:52:30,188 --> 00:52:32,065
Yeah. I mean,

1135
00:52:32,107 --> 00:52:33,525
she's a great writer.

1136
00:52:33,567 --> 00:52:37,112
And, you know, having all
these book discussions

1137
00:52:37,153 --> 00:52:40,323
has really made me realize how
much I miss writing with her.

1138
00:52:40,365 --> 00:52:42,200
Sharing ideas.

1139
00:52:42,242 --> 00:52:43,660
Talking it all through.

1140
00:52:43,702 --> 00:52:44,953
You should reach out
to her.

1141
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:47,122
See if you guys can pick up
where you left off.

1142
00:52:47,164 --> 00:52:48,123
I don't know.

1143
00:52:48,164 --> 00:52:49,833
There's a lot to unpack

1144
00:52:49,875 --> 00:52:51,501
and what if she doesn't
wanna hear from me?

1145
00:52:51,543 --> 00:52:53,920
I don't think I'm ready
to make that call.

1146
00:52:53,962 --> 00:52:56,715
Well, I've heard
this thing about courage.

1147
00:52:56,756 --> 00:52:59,259
A great poet once said,

1148
00:52:59,301 --> 00:53:03,138
Sometimes you have to leap
before you're ready.

1149
00:53:05,932 --> 00:53:07,517
Wise words.
-Uh-huh.

1150
00:53:09,186 --> 00:53:12,939
♪

1151
00:53:17,903 --> 00:53:20,030
I don't think
I can do this alone.

1152
00:53:20,071 --> 00:53:21,990
Can you girls
help me get ready?

1153
00:53:22,365 --> 00:53:24,993
Right, it's the big date night.

1154
00:53:25,035 --> 00:53:26,703
Of course.
Let's go to the apartment.

1155
00:53:26,745 --> 00:53:29,831
Thanks. Just don't wanna
embarrass myself.

1156
00:53:29,873 --> 00:53:33,460
Don't worry, we'll make sure
you look and feel your best.

1157
00:53:36,254 --> 00:53:38,089
Oh, hold on there, hold your
horses there, lover boy.

1158
00:53:38,131 --> 00:53:39,132
What?

1159
00:53:39,174 --> 00:53:40,634
This is no good.

1160
00:53:40,675 --> 00:53:42,761
Oh, I've been dressing myself
for 60 years.

1161
00:53:42,802 --> 00:53:43,845
Yeah, but not for Winnie.

1162
00:53:43,887 --> 00:53:46,181
And not in the modern era,
obviously.

1163
00:53:47,641 --> 00:53:49,559
Hey, son. I hope
you're okay with this.

1164
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:54,189
Mom's annoyed
you waited this long.

1165
00:53:54,689 --> 00:53:56,983
She's looking down on us,
smiling.

1166
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:59,444
I'm just glad you're happy.

1167
00:53:59,486 --> 00:54:00,278
Good.

1168
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:01,780
You got a gift or something?

1169
00:54:01,821 --> 00:54:02,906
Yeah.

1170
00:54:04,991 --> 00:54:06,159
No flowers?

1171
00:54:06,201 --> 00:54:08,036
Oh, come on.
Flowers are gaudy.

1172
00:54:09,746 --> 00:54:11,289
It's a bold move!

1173
00:54:15,293 --> 00:54:17,462
Well,
what do you think?

1174
00:54:19,255 --> 00:54:20,674
Oh, I don't know.

1175
00:54:20,715 --> 00:54:22,300
-You look amazing!
-You look incredible!

1176
00:54:22,342 --> 00:54:25,262
I-I like it, I do.
It's just...

1177
00:54:25,971 --> 00:54:28,848
I'm just so very,
very out of practice.

1178
00:54:29,933 --> 00:54:31,434
Am I missing anything?

1179
00:54:32,644 --> 00:54:34,271
I've got an idea.

1180
00:54:38,525 --> 00:54:40,735
Something to tie it
all together.

1181
00:54:42,529 --> 00:54:43,863
It was Gram's.

1182
00:54:46,574 --> 00:54:48,702
Lorraine talked me off
so many ledges

1183
00:54:48,743 --> 00:54:51,162
when I first started
dating Henry.

1184
00:54:51,746 --> 00:54:54,291
She knew exactly
how to calm my nerves.

1185
00:54:55,041 --> 00:54:56,418
Still does.

1186
00:54:56,835 --> 00:54:58,420
Thank you.

1187
00:54:58,461 --> 00:54:59,713
I love it.

1188
00:55:04,634 --> 00:55:05,802
Oh...

1189
00:55:06,553 --> 00:55:07,721
It's for your tea.

1190
00:55:07,762 --> 00:55:10,765
I love a practical
non-fussy gift.

1191
00:55:10,807 --> 00:55:12,183
Thank you.

1192
00:55:15,228 --> 00:55:17,397
Well, that was adorable.

1193
00:55:19,649 --> 00:55:21,067
Do you have plans?

1194
00:55:21,359 --> 00:55:22,610
No.

1195
00:55:22,861 --> 00:55:25,322
Great. I have
a surprise for you.

1196
00:55:25,363 --> 00:55:27,574
Okay.

1197
00:55:30,618 --> 00:55:33,580
I was thinking about
your idea of a perfect date.

1198
00:55:33,621 --> 00:55:37,375
Is this outdoorsy
enough for you? The right--

1199
00:55:37,417 --> 00:55:39,627
Honestly? You nailed it.

1200
00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:42,839
Okay, we've got your
blind date books...

1201
00:55:43,548 --> 00:55:45,133
So, which one will it be?

1202
00:55:45,175 --> 00:55:46,384
Reverse Uno.

1203
00:55:46,801 --> 00:55:48,511
I already know what's
in there.

1204
00:55:48,553 --> 00:55:50,096
Touché. Alright.

1205
00:55:50,138 --> 00:55:54,059
Uh, if you like fake dating
with wedding chaos.

1206
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:57,020
If you like secrets
in sleepy towns.

1207
00:55:57,062 --> 00:55:58,688
I'm going sleepy towns.

1208
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,483
Not a fan of romance?

1209
00:56:01,524 --> 00:56:03,568
No, I like romance.
Just in real life.

1210
00:56:03,610 --> 00:56:06,696
I think I'm better at
reading it than living it.

1211
00:56:06,738 --> 00:56:09,324
Aw, I don't know about that.

1212
00:56:10,825 --> 00:56:12,285
Hey, it's the-the book.

1213
00:56:12,327 --> 00:56:14,662
I noticed you-you picked that
for the next book club.

1214
00:56:14,704 --> 00:56:15,872
Yeah.

1215
00:56:16,164 --> 00:56:19,000
And I actually called her today
to tell her.

1216
00:56:19,042 --> 00:56:20,251
No way.

1217
00:56:20,543 --> 00:56:22,337
Thank you for encouraging me.

1218
00:56:23,046 --> 00:56:25,173
It was really nice
to catch up with her.

1219
00:56:25,215 --> 00:56:26,341
Good for you.

1220
00:56:28,301 --> 00:56:30,970
It also made me realize that

1221
00:56:31,471 --> 00:56:34,265
I don't have to be
so guarded with my story.

1222
00:56:34,307 --> 00:56:36,726
It's okay if someone hears it.

1223
00:56:36,768 --> 00:56:39,062
She even offered to read
my book,

1224
00:56:39,104 --> 00:56:41,064
if I ever pick it up again.

1225
00:56:41,106 --> 00:56:42,857
What do you mean
if you ever pick it up?

1226
00:56:42,899 --> 00:56:44,567
You're gonna pick it up again.

1227
00:56:51,449 --> 00:56:54,411
It's crazy to think that
the trees are about to blossom.

1228
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:55,995
-Mmm.
-It feels like

1229
00:56:56,037 --> 00:56:58,289
just a couple weeks ago,
they were bare branches.

1230
00:56:58,832 --> 00:57:00,542
When do you think it'll happen?

1231
00:57:01,167 --> 00:57:05,296
Um. I'm gonna say three days.

1232
00:57:05,338 --> 00:57:06,214
What?

1233
00:57:06,673 --> 00:57:07,799
You wanna bet?

1234
00:57:07,841 --> 00:57:08,758
Okay.

1235
00:57:09,342 --> 00:57:10,760
Three days.

1236
00:57:10,802 --> 00:57:11,886
No way.

1237
00:57:11,928 --> 00:57:13,721
Too soon.
I will give it a week.

1238
00:57:13,763 --> 00:57:15,265
One week. Okay.

1239
00:57:15,306 --> 00:57:16,724
And what are the stakes?

1240
00:57:16,766 --> 00:57:19,853
If I win, you have
to name a cider after me.

1241
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,062
Full distribution.

1242
00:57:21,563 --> 00:57:22,647
Deal.

1243
00:57:23,606 --> 00:57:25,066
And if I win,

1244
00:57:25,650 --> 00:57:28,027
you have to write
five pages of your book.

1245
00:57:28,611 --> 00:57:30,780
Just five.
Just to get started.

1246
00:57:31,739 --> 00:57:32,907
Curveball.

1247
00:57:35,702 --> 00:57:38,121
Okay. Deal.

1248
00:57:41,207 --> 00:57:43,126
So, tell me about this flavor.

1249
00:57:43,168 --> 00:57:44,460
Mmm.

1250
00:57:44,502 --> 00:57:45,795
Elderflower.

1251
00:57:46,463 --> 00:57:49,966
My mom, she used to grow
elderflower every spring.

1252
00:57:51,467 --> 00:57:52,594
And...

1253
00:57:52,969 --> 00:57:55,138
I have these memories
of us making, um,

1254
00:57:55,180 --> 00:57:57,223
syrup infused with it.

1255
00:57:57,265 --> 00:57:59,392
So, when I started
making cider, I knew that

1256
00:57:59,434 --> 00:58:01,394
that had to be
a part of the base.

1257
00:58:01,644 --> 00:58:03,104
It's, um...

1258
00:58:04,272 --> 00:58:06,858
I don't know, sort of nostalgic,
I guess.

1259
00:58:08,610 --> 00:58:09,777
That's it.

1260
00:58:10,361 --> 00:58:11,404
What?

1261
00:58:11,446 --> 00:58:13,907
Every flavor should have
a story.

1262
00:58:15,074 --> 00:58:19,704
Not just a taste, but a memory
that the customer can step into.

1263
00:58:19,746 --> 00:58:22,707
And each label
could tell the story.

1264
00:58:22,749 --> 00:58:24,459
It's not just a berry.

1265
00:58:24,501 --> 00:58:27,921
It's about being chased through
the woods to find the best one.

1266
00:58:27,962 --> 00:58:31,341
It's making syrup
in the kitchen with your mom.

1267
00:58:31,382 --> 00:58:33,885
It's placing silly bets
on when the blossoms

1268
00:58:33,927 --> 00:58:36,012
will finally bloom
with someone you...

1269
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:37,263
care about.

1270
00:58:38,890 --> 00:58:40,642
That's so good.

1271
00:58:40,683 --> 00:58:42,685
That's really good.

1272
00:58:42,727 --> 00:58:43,853
I-I...

1273
00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:45,813
Thank you, I...

1274
00:58:45,855 --> 00:58:47,982
I don't think
I could've explained...

1275
00:58:49,067 --> 00:58:51,110
what this place
means to me without,

1276
00:58:51,152 --> 00:58:52,695
without your help.

1277
00:58:59,827 --> 00:59:01,037
Thank you.

1278
00:59:01,079 --> 00:59:02,997
You're a genius.

1279
00:59:03,665 --> 00:59:06,292
You're-you're a real--
you're an artist.

1280
00:59:08,878 --> 00:59:10,964
I-I should probably go.

1281
00:59:11,005 --> 00:59:12,548
-But I'm so glad I could help
-What, now? No!

1282
00:59:12,590 --> 00:59:13,591
with the story.

1283
00:59:13,633 --> 00:59:14,634
Wha--

1284
00:59:14,676 --> 00:59:16,094
Are you sure?
I thought we could--

1285
00:59:16,135 --> 00:59:18,221
Yeah, thank you
so much for tonight.

1286
00:59:18,930 --> 00:59:20,098
Okay.

1287
00:59:20,139 --> 00:59:21,140
Um...

1288
00:59:22,517 --> 00:59:24,561
Sure, um...

1289
00:59:24,602 --> 00:59:26,729
I'll, um, can I walk you
to the door?

1290
00:59:26,771 --> 00:59:27,772
Okay.

1291
00:59:33,403 --> 00:59:36,739
Okay, team. Well,
it's our final week of prep.

1292
00:59:36,781 --> 00:59:39,742
Looks like those trees
are gonna blossom any day now.

1293
00:59:39,784 --> 00:59:42,704
I would love to get
an update from everybody.

1294
00:59:42,745 --> 00:59:44,247
Molly, you wanna start?

1295
00:59:44,289 --> 00:59:47,500
I'm testing the floral bouquet
designs on cupcakes tonight.

1296
00:59:47,542 --> 00:59:49,627
And the Book Nook
is almost ready.

1297
00:59:49,669 --> 00:59:51,129
I just have
to finish the banner.

1298
00:59:51,170 --> 00:59:54,632
Great. And, Max, any word
about a distributor?

1299
00:59:55,133 --> 00:59:58,469
Pitching in a few days, but, um,
I'll let you know when I do.

1300
00:59:58,511 --> 00:59:59,929
We should be good, though,

1301
00:59:59,971 --> 01:00:01,514
because Elise helped me
with the story.

1302
01:00:03,516 --> 01:00:05,685
Earl, any last words?

1303
01:00:05,727 --> 01:00:08,730
If everybody stays on track,
we'll be ready for the blossoms.

1304
01:00:08,771 --> 01:00:10,356
- Great.
- Alright.

1305
01:00:10,398 --> 01:00:11,983
Let's go.

1306
01:00:15,069 --> 01:00:17,572
Thanks for the shout out.

1307
01:00:17,614 --> 01:00:19,240
Oh, yeah. Of course.

1308
01:00:19,282 --> 01:00:21,367
I mean, I'd be freaking out
without you.

1309
01:00:22,035 --> 01:00:23,828
Hey, I have a new batch.

1310
01:00:23,870 --> 01:00:26,039
Do you wanna give it a try?
I'd love your notes.

1311
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,041
-Yeah. Okay.
-Yeah.

1312
01:00:29,709 --> 01:00:30,918
Mmm.

1313
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,879
-That is a great base.
-Right?

1314
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,589
And then once the trees
blossom,

1315
01:00:34,630 --> 01:00:36,424
I'll take the petals
before they fall,

1316
01:00:36,466 --> 01:00:38,676
put 'em in the batch,
that'll balance the flavor.

1317
01:00:38,718 --> 01:00:40,345
Then it's ready for
the distributor.

1318
01:00:45,892 --> 01:00:47,352
That's new.

1319
01:00:48,853 --> 01:00:49,896
Problem?

1320
01:00:49,937 --> 01:00:51,147
Seems okay.

1321
01:00:52,273 --> 01:00:54,484
I'll double check later
to make sure.

1322
01:00:54,525 --> 01:00:55,943
Max.

1323
01:00:57,862 --> 01:01:01,449
You know, all this fancy
new equipment is impressive,

1324
01:01:01,491 --> 01:01:03,785
but you still never showed me
how this thing works.

1325
01:01:04,744 --> 01:01:06,120
You wanna give it a try?

1326
01:01:06,162 --> 01:01:07,205
Yeah.

1327
01:01:07,246 --> 01:01:08,790
Okay. Fair warning.

1328
01:01:08,831 --> 01:01:11,751
It can get a little messy and
it requires some elbow grease.

1329
01:01:12,585 --> 01:01:14,754
-I'm ready.
-Okay, girl.

1330
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:23,805
So...

1331
01:01:23,846 --> 01:01:26,974
then we just let this sit and
the fermentation does its thing?

1332
01:01:27,016 --> 01:01:28,559
Yes, exactly.

1333
01:01:28,935 --> 01:01:31,604
Normally, we'd use fresh apples
from the harvest in the fall,

1334
01:01:31,646 --> 01:01:33,272
but we had a bunch
in the freezer.

1335
01:01:33,314 --> 01:01:34,732
The only thing is,

1336
01:01:34,774 --> 01:01:37,693
Dad's very particular about
when and how we use them.

1337
01:01:37,735 --> 01:01:40,029
So, we gotta make sure
this batch counts.

1338
01:01:40,071 --> 01:01:41,239
We will!

1339
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,157
Because it's the "me" batch.

1340
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,869
The Max and Elise batch.

1341
01:01:46,911 --> 01:01:48,121
- Ahh...
- M. E.

1342
01:01:48,162 --> 01:01:49,622
-It's silly.
-No, I like it.

1343
01:01:49,664 --> 01:01:51,833
The Max and Elise.

1344
01:01:53,710 --> 01:01:55,211
You know, you were right.

1345
01:01:55,253 --> 01:01:58,047
This whole physical labor
thing really does

1346
01:01:58,089 --> 01:02:00,383
make it feel more magical.

1347
01:02:00,425 --> 01:02:01,759
Yeah.

1348
01:02:01,801 --> 01:02:04,637
It definitely requires
a lot more work, but...

1349
01:02:04,679 --> 01:02:06,222
it's nice to slow things down.

1350
01:02:07,432 --> 01:02:09,517
I wish I could
slow down time here.

1351
01:02:10,017 --> 01:02:11,602
It's crazy to think
that the trees

1352
01:02:11,644 --> 01:02:14,188
will be blossoming soon
and I'll be leaving.

1353
01:02:16,023 --> 01:02:17,191
So, you're still leaving?

1354
01:02:17,733 --> 01:02:19,527
Well, yeah.

1355
01:02:20,361 --> 01:02:22,321
I mean, that's always been
the point of me being here.

1356
01:02:22,363 --> 01:02:24,407
I know, but I ju--
I heard that the new buyer

1357
01:02:24,449 --> 01:02:26,659
wanted to gut the store,
so I figured maybe...

1358
01:02:26,701 --> 01:02:27,744
Where did you hear that?

1359
01:02:27,785 --> 01:02:30,163
Molly told Winnie,
who told my dad.

1360
01:02:30,204 --> 01:02:32,707
You know the Driftless
rumor mill.

1361
01:02:33,666 --> 01:02:35,168
Yeah, well...

1362
01:02:36,085 --> 01:02:39,297
it's my only offer, so I don't
really have another option.

1363
01:02:39,338 --> 01:02:40,673
Well, you do have
another option.

1364
01:02:40,715 --> 01:02:42,383
You could stay
and run the store.

1365
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:43,676
And write.

1366
01:02:43,718 --> 01:02:44,844
Max.

1367
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:46,387
No.

1368
01:02:47,013 --> 01:02:48,890
It's complicated, I...

1369
01:02:49,223 --> 01:02:50,600
I just thought...

1370
01:02:51,517 --> 01:02:52,935
that with...

1371
01:02:54,145 --> 01:02:57,356
Th-that you might've been
falling back in love with--

1372
01:02:58,608 --> 01:03:00,985
Driftless and writing and...

1373
01:03:02,111 --> 01:03:05,323
With the store and...
and maybe changed your mind.

1374
01:03:05,364 --> 01:03:06,491
I just--

1375
01:03:07,533 --> 01:03:10,286
I don't understand
what's holding you back.

1376
01:03:10,328 --> 01:03:12,872
You said this place
makes you feel like yourself.

1377
01:03:12,914 --> 01:03:14,999
Isn't that what
you're looking for?

1378
01:03:15,041 --> 01:03:17,710
I love that when I walk
in that store,

1379
01:03:17,752 --> 01:03:20,379
I feel Gram everywhere.

1380
01:03:20,421 --> 01:03:22,757
And I don't want that
to go away.

1381
01:03:23,674 --> 01:03:25,176
But...

1382
01:03:25,218 --> 01:03:28,804
I also don't wanna
run the store day to day.

1383
01:03:28,846 --> 01:03:30,473
It's this constant reminder

1384
01:03:30,515 --> 01:03:31,933
that I am not
a published author

1385
01:03:31,974 --> 01:03:33,684
and I probably never will be.

1386
01:03:33,726 --> 01:03:36,437
You're... you're using that
as an excuse.

1387
01:03:36,479 --> 01:03:37,980
How?

1388
01:03:38,022 --> 01:03:40,858
you also said that you don't
wanna run the orchard

1389
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:43,402
because it makes you
feel less than.

1390
01:03:43,444 --> 01:03:44,820
It's the same thing.

1391
01:03:46,822 --> 01:03:49,992
I thought of all people,
you'd understand.

1392
01:03:52,954 --> 01:03:55,540
I think I do.

1393
01:03:58,668 --> 01:04:00,378
Loud and clear.

1394
01:04:11,305 --> 01:04:12,765
Hard work's paying off.

1395
01:04:12,807 --> 01:04:14,517
Hope it makes for
a good harvest.

1396
01:04:14,976 --> 01:04:16,894
Look at this beautiful day.

1397
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:19,146
Blossoms in full bloom.

1398
01:04:19,730 --> 01:04:22,858
And here you are on a romantic
walk with your son,

1399
01:04:22,900 --> 01:04:24,402
when you should be
out here with Winnie.

1400
01:04:24,443 --> 01:04:26,362
What's the matter with you,
do I have to coach you?

1401
01:04:26,404 --> 01:04:27,446
Come on.

1402
01:04:27,488 --> 01:04:29,323
It's festival weekend.
She's swamped.

1403
01:04:29,365 --> 01:04:30,950
How'd that date go?

1404
01:04:30,992 --> 01:04:32,827
Well, she didn't run
for the hills.

1405
01:04:34,328 --> 01:04:36,831
She's really something else,
that lady, I tell you.

1406
01:04:37,164 --> 01:04:40,918
Earl Whitman is smitten.

1407
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,838
If she can put up with your
stubbornness, she's a keeper.

1408
01:04:45,172 --> 01:04:46,841
Oh, Elise.
Glad I caught you.

1409
01:04:46,882 --> 01:04:48,259
Hi, Vanessa.

1410
01:04:48,301 --> 01:04:50,177
Hey, so the interested buyers
have agreed to hold off

1411
01:04:50,219 --> 01:04:53,264
until the festival, but they'll
need a decision for that day.

1412
01:04:53,306 --> 01:04:55,349
Sign or they walk away.

1413
01:04:55,391 --> 01:04:56,976
No luck finding any other leads?

1414
01:04:57,018 --> 01:04:59,061
Not yet. But honestly,
this is a strong offer.

1415
01:04:59,103 --> 01:05:00,605
And with that job waiting,

1416
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:02,732
why stay where it won't
get you what you want?

1417
01:05:02,773 --> 01:05:05,276
Plus, you don't wanna get
stuck if the market dips.

1418
01:05:05,318 --> 01:05:06,569
How can you afford it?

1419
01:05:07,653 --> 01:05:09,697
Oh, sorry.

1420
01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:12,450
Um, we're looking forward to
those papers coming through.

1421
01:05:12,491 --> 01:05:13,909
Vanessa. Hi.

1422
01:05:18,914 --> 01:05:21,208
I hear the trees
have fully blossomed.

1423
01:05:21,250 --> 01:05:23,336
The ones in the shop
are lagging behind.

1424
01:05:23,377 --> 01:05:24,670
They'll catch up.

1425
01:05:24,712 --> 01:05:26,547
The trees just
happened overnight.

1426
01:05:26,589 --> 01:05:29,300
One day nothing,
next day full blooms.

1427
01:05:30,134 --> 01:05:32,470
It's one of life's
little miracles.

1428
01:05:34,013 --> 01:05:36,057
Looks like that rain
is on the way.

1429
01:05:36,098 --> 01:05:39,644
I just hope it's not strong
enough to mess with the blooms.

1430
01:05:39,685 --> 01:05:42,688
I mean, they have to hang on
until the festival this weekend.

1431
01:05:42,730 --> 01:05:44,440
Did you update the website?

1432
01:05:45,274 --> 01:05:47,735
Oh, I knew I was
forgetting something.

1433
01:05:47,777 --> 01:05:50,571
I'm sorry, my head's just
been a little

1434
01:05:50,613 --> 01:05:52,031
preoccupied lately.

1435
01:05:52,073 --> 01:05:53,532
Oh, you don't say.

1436
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,747
I think I really messed
things up with Max.

1437
01:06:00,456 --> 01:06:02,375
Maybe there's still
a chance, I just...

1438
01:06:03,417 --> 01:06:05,086
I don't know if any of it

1439
01:06:05,127 --> 01:06:07,213
actually meant
anything to him, or...

1440
01:06:07,755 --> 01:06:09,674
If I'm just wishing it did.

1441
01:06:10,299 --> 01:06:13,094
Remember, it's apple
blossom season.

1442
01:06:13,135 --> 01:06:15,096
Anything's possible.

1443
01:06:15,638 --> 01:06:17,098
Have faith.

1444
01:06:17,139 --> 01:06:20,559
Sometimes things have a way
of just working themselves out.

1445
01:06:45,334 --> 01:06:46,669
No, no, no, no.

1446
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:48,587
Come on! Come on,
don't do this to me now.

1447
01:06:48,629 --> 01:06:49,839
Hey, storm clouds
are rolling in.

1448
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,382
You wanna stop
tinkering with that tank

1449
01:06:51,424 --> 01:06:52,466
and help me with
the orchard?

1450
01:06:52,508 --> 01:06:53,884
This valve finally gave.

1451
01:06:53,926 --> 01:06:55,594
If-if I don't get
a new one by today,

1452
01:06:55,636 --> 01:06:57,430
this whole batch is ruined.
That means the pitch,

1453
01:06:57,471 --> 01:06:59,348
the festival, the distributor,
all gone.

1454
01:06:59,390 --> 01:07:00,933
Ah, this is what
I worry about, son.

1455
01:07:00,975 --> 01:07:03,310
You throw yourself into
the cider business

1456
01:07:03,352 --> 01:07:04,854
and the orchard gets put on
the back burner!

1457
01:07:04,895 --> 01:07:06,731
I'll be back before
the storm hits, I promise.

1458
01:07:06,772 --> 01:07:08,566
There might not be
anything to come back to

1459
01:07:08,607 --> 01:07:09,984
if the orchard gets wrecked.

1460
01:07:10,025 --> 01:07:11,444
We gotta stake the small trees.

1461
01:07:11,485 --> 01:07:12,903
We've got to clear out
that drainage ditch

1462
01:07:12,945 --> 01:07:13,946
so the water clears.
-I know.

1463
01:07:13,988 --> 01:07:15,531
I know, I know, roots first.

1464
01:07:15,573 --> 01:07:17,158
Foundation first.
And I-I agree with you,

1465
01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:18,659
But if I don't get this
fixed, then...

1466
01:07:18,701 --> 01:07:19,869
Then this was all for nothing.

1467
01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:21,454
I-I'm trying to make
something that lasts.

1468
01:07:21,495 --> 01:07:22,621
Something that means something.

1469
01:07:22,663 --> 01:07:24,331
I get it, you're ambitious.
You're on fire.

1470
01:07:24,373 --> 01:07:26,459
But fire burns fast
if it's not tended to.

1471
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:28,586
If you rush, we run the risk
of losing everything

1472
01:07:28,627 --> 01:07:29,754
we built here, son.

1473
01:07:29,795 --> 01:07:31,380
And what about Elise, huh?

1474
01:07:31,422 --> 01:07:32,798
She's counting on you, too.

1475
01:07:35,885 --> 01:07:37,470
I'll be back in two hours.

1476
01:07:37,511 --> 01:07:39,013
-Two hours?
-Two hours.

1477
01:07:40,514 --> 01:07:42,808
I hope you know what
you're doing, son.

1478
01:07:45,269 --> 01:07:47,438
Either you're writing your
book or you're sending someone

1479
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:48,981
a very angry email.

1480
01:07:49,023 --> 01:07:50,900
I lost a bet, remember?

1481
01:07:50,941 --> 01:07:52,193
I can't wait to read it.

1482
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:54,236
Hey, I'm just here
to drop these off

1483
01:07:54,278 --> 01:07:56,280
because I can't
make it tonight.

1484
01:07:56,322 --> 01:07:57,698
Okay, uh...

1485
01:07:57,740 --> 01:07:59,658
does this have anything to do
with the other night?

1486
01:07:59,700 --> 01:08:00,868
No, no, no, not at all.

1487
01:08:00,910 --> 01:08:03,329
It's just the valve
blew on the cider tank.

1488
01:08:03,370 --> 01:08:04,914
Oh. I'm sorry.

1489
01:08:04,955 --> 01:08:07,124
Yeah, so I have to get a new one
or the whole batch is ruined.

1490
01:08:07,166 --> 01:08:09,376
Yeah. Go. Go before
it's too late.

1491
01:08:09,418 --> 01:08:11,921
I... look, I would be here,
I wanna be here for you,

1492
01:08:11,962 --> 01:08:14,215
but I just, I have to get
the valve, and then I have

1493
01:08:14,256 --> 01:08:16,050
to get back before the storm
hits to help Dad, so...

1494
01:08:16,091 --> 01:08:17,468
I know, I-I get it.

1495
01:08:17,510 --> 01:08:18,761
Thank you.

1496
01:08:19,136 --> 01:08:20,346
Oh, and...

1497
01:08:20,387 --> 01:08:21,972
just for the record,

1498
01:08:22,014 --> 01:08:23,349
I'm bummed you're leaving.

1499
01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:25,851
But I totally respect

1500
01:08:25,893 --> 01:08:27,353
whatever you feel
you have to do.

1501
01:08:27,394 --> 01:08:29,396
And if that means
selling this place...

1502
01:08:30,397 --> 01:08:31,857
then I support you.

1503
01:08:32,733 --> 01:08:34,193
-Thanks.
-Okay.

1504
01:08:34,819 --> 01:08:36,320
Have-have a great book club.

1505
01:08:36,362 --> 01:08:38,656
And I can't believe the ex
showed up at the wedding!

1506
01:08:38,697 --> 01:08:40,241
I did not see that coming.

1507
01:08:53,254 --> 01:08:57,424
♪

1508
01:09:06,141 --> 01:09:07,101
Oh!

1509
01:09:18,946 --> 01:09:20,447
Hey, how's it looking
out there?

1510
01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:22,783
Oh, it's getting worse.

1511
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:24,910
A lot of people called me
to say that they couldn't

1512
01:09:24,952 --> 01:09:26,871
make it tonight
due to the storm.

1513
01:09:26,912 --> 01:09:28,414
So, I went ahead and canceled.

1514
01:09:28,455 --> 01:09:29,498
You did the right thing.

1515
01:09:30,624 --> 01:09:32,376
Oh, I just got
a flash flood watch.

1516
01:09:32,418 --> 01:09:34,336
Do you think the rain will
damage the apple blossoms?

1517
01:09:34,378 --> 01:09:37,506
Well, Max said they can
withhold some rain, so, I...

1518
01:09:37,548 --> 01:09:38,966
I'm sure it'll be okay.

1519
01:09:39,008 --> 01:09:41,468
I think we'd better head out
before the roads get worse.

1520
01:09:41,510 --> 01:09:43,512
I'm sorry we can't stay
and clean up.

1521
01:09:43,554 --> 01:09:45,556
Oh, don't worry about it.
Get home safe.

1522
01:09:45,598 --> 01:09:46,682
-Okay.
-Good night.

1523
01:09:46,724 --> 01:09:47,725
'Night.

1524
01:10:05,826 --> 01:10:07,244
Come on, come on.

1525
01:10:09,163 --> 01:10:11,665
Ah, you gotta be kidding me.

1526
01:10:28,057 --> 01:10:29,767
Clover?

1527
01:10:31,936 --> 01:10:33,479
It's okay, kitty.

1528
01:10:45,407 --> 01:10:46,951
Clover!

1529
01:10:51,455 --> 01:10:52,831
Clover!

1530
01:10:59,046 --> 01:11:01,131
- Hello?
- Max!

1531
01:11:01,173 --> 01:11:02,216
Are you on the road?

1532
01:11:02,257 --> 01:11:04,677
No, but I'm outside.

1533
01:11:04,718 --> 01:11:06,011
Why?

1534
01:11:06,053 --> 01:11:08,389
I got the valve, but then
my engine won't work.

1535
01:11:08,806 --> 01:11:11,392
Everything's breaking,
but hold on a sec.

1536
01:11:12,810 --> 01:11:14,436
I think I got it.

1537
01:11:16,939 --> 01:11:18,565
Ah!

1538
01:11:18,607 --> 01:11:20,859
Yes! Back in business.

1539
01:11:20,901 --> 01:11:22,528
I'm soaked,
but I'm heading home.

1540
01:11:22,569 --> 01:11:24,613
Are you sure?
I think it's too risky.

1541
01:11:24,655 --> 01:11:25,656
The roads might flood.

1542
01:11:25,698 --> 01:11:27,116
Well, I have to get back.

1543
01:11:27,157 --> 01:11:29,159
I left my dad all alone
to take care of everything.

1544
01:11:29,702 --> 01:11:32,121
Promise me you'll wait it out.

1545
01:11:35,165 --> 01:11:37,668
I promise... I'll be okay.

1546
01:11:43,549 --> 01:11:44,842
Hey!

1547
01:11:49,471 --> 01:11:51,223
Hey, Clover.

1548
01:11:51,765 --> 01:11:52,850
Hey.

1549
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,770
Oh. It's okay.

1550
01:11:59,815 --> 01:12:04,069
Gram always said,
even long nights have a dawn.

1551
01:12:04,987 --> 01:12:06,030
I know.

1552
01:12:06,530 --> 01:12:09,158
Long nights can
be scary for everybody.

1553
01:12:09,783 --> 01:12:11,994
Especially when there's
a storm.

1554
01:12:12,036 --> 01:12:15,039
But don't worry,
it's all going to work out.

1555
01:12:26,967 --> 01:12:28,927
I can't believe it's all gone.

1556
01:12:30,179 --> 01:12:31,930
This place is a mess.

1557
01:12:32,639 --> 01:12:34,016
No blossoms.

1558
01:12:35,517 --> 01:12:37,686
We're gonna have to cancel
the festival.

1559
01:12:37,728 --> 01:12:40,981
I let my dad down,
and I never should've left.

1560
01:12:41,023 --> 01:12:42,399
It's not your fault.

1561
01:12:42,441 --> 01:12:44,777
I should've just concentrated
on what we had.

1562
01:12:45,736 --> 01:12:47,613
Like Dad kept telling me.

1563
01:12:48,864 --> 01:12:50,574
Now, no festival,

1564
01:12:51,492 --> 01:12:53,160
no signature cider,

1565
01:12:53,202 --> 01:12:55,662
and who knows if we even
have crops this year.

1566
01:12:55,704 --> 01:12:57,247
You don't know that.

1567
01:12:57,289 --> 01:13:00,084
You said yourself, if the bees
did their job properly,

1568
01:13:00,125 --> 01:13:02,252
pollination could've
already happened.

1569
01:13:02,294 --> 01:13:03,170
Yeah.

1570
01:13:03,462 --> 01:13:05,839
Or it all could've been...

1571
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:07,257
blown away.

1572
01:13:11,386 --> 01:13:13,972
I guess this just
wasn't our year.

1573
01:13:19,144 --> 01:13:20,854
Hi, Elise.
I tried my best,

1574
01:13:20,896 --> 01:13:22,481
but no other offers.

1575
01:13:22,523 --> 01:13:24,316
If you want to move forward
with the sale,

1576
01:13:24,358 --> 01:13:26,402
I need your signature first
thing tomorrow.

1577
01:13:26,443 --> 01:13:27,653
Bye.

1578
01:13:27,694 --> 01:13:30,614
I don't know, Gram.
What should I do?

1579
01:13:51,635 --> 01:13:53,887
My dearest Elise.

1580
01:13:53,929 --> 01:13:55,139
If you ever feel lost,

1581
01:13:55,180 --> 01:13:57,141
remember to keep
your heart open.

1582
01:13:57,474 --> 01:13:59,852
The world has a quiet way
of guiding us.

1583
01:13:59,893 --> 01:14:01,728
Through someone's presence,

1584
01:14:01,770 --> 01:14:03,772
a fleeting moment,
or my favorite...

1585
01:14:04,481 --> 01:14:05,941
a story.

1586
01:14:08,318 --> 01:14:10,654
Some signs will be easy to see.

1587
01:14:10,696 --> 01:14:13,490
Others so small,
you might almost miss them.

1588
01:14:13,824 --> 01:14:15,534
But they're always there.

1589
01:14:16,201 --> 01:14:18,745
Waiting to help
you find your way.

1590
01:14:18,787 --> 01:14:20,873
And know that no matter what,

1591
01:14:20,914 --> 01:14:23,083
I am always with you.

1592
01:14:23,125 --> 01:14:25,961
Just believe in yourself
and you will do great things.

1593
01:14:26,420 --> 01:14:27,671
Love, Gram.

1594
01:14:27,713 --> 01:14:29,256
Love, Gram .

1595
01:14:31,550 --> 01:14:32,467
Hey.

1596
01:14:43,562 --> 01:14:47,024
Oh, Clover, what do you think?

1597
01:14:50,110 --> 01:14:53,572
I don't think all is lost.
We can still use these petals.

1598
01:14:54,072 --> 01:14:56,116
I wish I could,
but they're contaminated

1599
01:14:56,158 --> 01:14:57,701
as soon as they hit the ground.

1600
01:14:57,743 --> 01:14:59,328
But you can boil them.

1601
01:14:59,369 --> 01:15:02,289
Make a syrup like you
used to do with your mom.

1602
01:15:02,331 --> 01:15:04,458
Take these petals,
the mess, the loss,

1603
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:06,919
and turn it into your comeback.

1604
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,129
You can call it
Resilient Blooms.

1605
01:15:09,755 --> 01:15:11,089
I really like that.

1606
01:15:11,131 --> 01:15:13,550
It's like what was once lost

1607
01:15:13,592 --> 01:15:15,302
is the start
of a whole new path.

1608
01:15:15,344 --> 01:15:17,512
We can bring this batch
back to life.

1609
01:15:17,554 --> 01:15:20,057
And we can still celebrate
with the community.

1610
01:15:20,682 --> 01:15:23,393
I mean, this place needs
to be cleaned up, but...

1611
01:15:23,435 --> 01:15:25,604
what if we host
the Resilient Blooms Festival

1612
01:15:25,646 --> 01:15:26,980
at the bookstore?

1613
01:15:27,022 --> 01:15:29,024
I felt like I let Gram down,
not finishing

1614
01:15:29,066 --> 01:15:30,692
her Books and Blooms events.

1615
01:15:30,734 --> 01:15:33,487
This way, I can close
that chapter properly,

1616
01:15:33,529 --> 01:15:35,656
and honor her the way
she deserves.

1617
01:15:35,697 --> 01:15:37,032
I love that.

1618
01:15:37,074 --> 01:15:39,201
And the ciders,
it's a brilliant idea.

1619
01:15:39,701 --> 01:15:41,662
But I don't have enough apples
for a whole 'nother

1620
01:15:41,703 --> 01:15:42,996
distribution batch.

1621
01:15:43,789 --> 01:15:46,208
What about the frozen stash?

1622
01:15:49,253 --> 01:15:50,796
Dad...

1623
01:15:50,837 --> 01:15:54,049
I figured out a way to save
that batch for the pitch, but...

1624
01:15:55,801 --> 01:15:57,594
I need to use the frozen apples.
It's the only way

1625
01:15:57,636 --> 01:15:58,720
it's gonna work--
-No!

1626
01:15:58,762 --> 01:16:00,013
-Dad...
-Nope.

1627
01:16:00,055 --> 01:16:01,181
Come on.

1628
01:16:01,223 --> 01:16:03,058
Son, we need those
apples for emergencies.

1629
01:16:03,100 --> 01:16:04,601
That's what this is.
This is an emergency.

1630
01:16:04,643 --> 01:16:06,687
No, in case there's
a storm or something,

1631
01:16:06,728 --> 01:16:09,815
we have to be able
to fulfill our obligation

1632
01:16:09,856 --> 01:16:11,233
to our vendors.

1633
01:16:11,275 --> 01:16:13,610
So that we can ensure
that our vendors get delivery.

1634
01:16:13,652 --> 01:16:15,737
Okay, okay, let me use
the apples and then together,

1635
01:16:15,779 --> 01:16:17,364
we'll rebuild the stash
for the next crisis.

1636
01:16:17,406 --> 01:16:18,365
Son, we--

1637
01:16:30,294 --> 01:16:32,212
You know, your--

1638
01:16:32,254 --> 01:16:34,965
your mother used to say
that you would

1639
01:16:35,007 --> 01:16:38,010
grow this business
bigger than I ever could.

1640
01:16:38,844 --> 01:16:40,012
I just...

1641
01:16:40,762 --> 01:16:42,514
been afraid to let you
really try

1642
01:16:42,556 --> 01:16:44,266
because I didn't
want you to slip away.

1643
01:16:47,352 --> 01:16:48,812
But that was wrong, son.

1644
01:16:50,939 --> 01:16:52,190
And I'm sorry.

1645
01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,656
Thanks, Dad.

1646
01:16:59,698 --> 01:17:01,033
I appreciate that.

1647
01:17:01,742 --> 01:17:03,201
But look, Dad.

1648
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:05,787
I'm not going anywhere.

1649
01:17:06,371 --> 01:17:08,790
I just wanna be able
to build my own thing,

1650
01:17:09,374 --> 01:17:12,753
blaze my own path, and I need
your trust to do that.

1651
01:17:15,339 --> 01:17:16,715
You got it, son.

1652
01:17:18,050 --> 01:17:19,509
Use the apples.

1653
01:17:23,263 --> 01:17:24,389
Hi.

1654
01:17:31,688 --> 01:17:33,398
Oh, good to see you again.

1655
01:17:34,066 --> 01:17:35,484
-This much?
-Uh-huh.

1656
01:17:36,526 --> 01:17:38,445
Okay, that's it,
keep it coming. Gradual.

1657
01:17:40,989 --> 01:17:43,158
♪

1658
01:17:50,165 --> 01:17:52,876
♪

1659
01:18:30,330 --> 01:18:32,124
They brought the blooms back.

1660
01:18:32,791 --> 01:18:35,252
No blooms outside?
We bring 'em inside.

1661
01:18:35,293 --> 01:18:38,422
What can I say?
This town is resilient.

1662
01:18:38,463 --> 01:18:40,632
And you made flower cupcakes.

1663
01:18:40,674 --> 01:18:43,135
What? I contain multitudes.

1664
01:18:44,553 --> 01:18:46,054
- Hey!
- Hey.

1665
01:18:46,096 --> 01:18:47,681
-You made it.
-Yeah.

1666
01:18:47,722 --> 01:18:49,599
-How'd it go?
-The buyers loved it.

1667
01:18:49,641 --> 01:18:52,310
I used the small batch cider
that we made. Look.

1668
01:18:52,352 --> 01:18:54,104
Resilient Blooms Cider.

1669
01:18:54,146 --> 01:18:55,939
Every label tells a story.

1670
01:18:56,398 --> 01:18:59,025
Delicate, fleeting
and resilient.

1671
01:18:59,067 --> 01:19:00,694
Just like you said.

1672
01:19:00,735 --> 01:19:04,030
What survives the storm shapes
the story moving forward.

1673
01:19:04,072 --> 01:19:05,991
And we're doing limited edition

1674
01:19:06,032 --> 01:19:08,034
blossom cider
in 15 state markets.

1675
01:19:08,076 --> 01:19:10,036
If that goes well,
then we'll expand from there.

1676
01:19:10,078 --> 01:19:11,371
That's amazing.

1677
01:19:12,038 --> 01:19:15,000
Wow, I can't believe
it's all over.

1678
01:19:15,500 --> 01:19:16,793
You're really leaving?

1679
01:19:21,256 --> 01:19:23,175
It's not gonna be
the same without you.

1680
01:19:25,469 --> 01:19:26,595
Yeah.

1681
01:19:35,187 --> 01:19:38,356
You poured your whole self into
this son, and you made it work.

1682
01:19:39,441 --> 01:19:40,817
I'm proud of you.

1683
01:19:41,818 --> 01:19:43,987
And you know I'll do
anything I can to help you.

1684
01:19:44,446 --> 01:19:45,822
Thanks, Dad.

1685
01:19:48,408 --> 01:19:49,910
You know we're gonna
do it right.

1686
01:19:49,951 --> 01:19:52,078
We'll do it slow
and steady together.

1687
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,371
Good.

1688
01:19:53,413 --> 01:19:55,499
Did you notice I dedicated
the elder flower...

1689
01:19:56,458 --> 01:19:57,626
to Mom.

1690
01:20:03,340 --> 01:20:05,050
It's beautiful, son.

1691
01:20:05,091 --> 01:20:06,301
Come here.

1692
01:20:09,513 --> 01:20:10,972
That is so nice.

1693
01:20:13,642 --> 01:20:14,643
Look.

1694
01:20:20,774 --> 01:20:25,153
Welcome, everyone, to the first
Resilient Blooms Festival.

1695
01:20:25,195 --> 01:20:28,573
My grandma started this store
because she believed stories

1696
01:20:28,615 --> 01:20:30,283
could connect us.

1697
01:20:30,325 --> 01:20:31,618
To ourselves,

1698
01:20:31,660 --> 01:20:32,994
to each other,

1699
01:20:33,036 --> 01:20:35,789
and guide us through
every season of life.

1700
01:20:36,581 --> 01:20:39,000
I've felt a little
off-course lately.

1701
01:20:39,042 --> 01:20:40,252
But being here,

1702
01:20:40,502 --> 01:20:42,170
meeting all of you,

1703
01:20:42,212 --> 01:20:45,298
and hearing how my grandma's
curated list of books

1704
01:20:45,340 --> 01:20:47,300
always seem to share
the right message

1705
01:20:47,551 --> 01:20:49,219
at the right time.

1706
01:20:49,469 --> 01:20:52,430
It made me realize
I couldn't let the legacy

1707
01:20:52,472 --> 01:20:55,100
of this bookstore
just drift away.

1708
01:20:55,141 --> 01:20:56,685
This festival matters,

1709
01:20:56,726 --> 01:20:59,896
not because of flowers
or books,

1710
01:20:59,938 --> 01:21:02,983
but because of the way this
community lifts each other up.

1711
01:21:03,024 --> 01:21:04,901
Even in small ways.

1712
01:21:06,194 --> 01:21:07,529
We're resilient.

1713
01:21:07,946 --> 01:21:10,323
Even fleeting blossoms
bear fruit.

1714
01:21:10,949 --> 01:21:13,159
And after this long winter,

1715
01:21:13,577 --> 01:21:15,871
I think we all deserve
a little spring.

1716
01:21:15,912 --> 01:21:17,664
Gram loved that reminder.

1717
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:20,458
We can always start again.

1718
01:21:21,209 --> 01:21:23,128
As many times as we need.

1719
01:21:24,212 --> 01:21:26,548
We just need to have faith.

1720
01:21:39,936 --> 01:21:41,354
Are you okay?

1721
01:21:41,396 --> 01:21:42,772
Yeah.

1722
01:21:42,814 --> 01:21:45,358
I was just thinking about how
you're still gonna need

1723
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:46,776
to water the plants every day

1724
01:21:46,818 --> 01:21:48,111
so they don't die.

1725
01:21:48,486 --> 01:21:50,739
Well, I'm sure the new owner,

1726
01:21:50,780 --> 01:21:52,365
whatever they decide
to do with this place,

1727
01:21:52,407 --> 01:21:54,159
will appreciate that.
-Yeah.

1728
01:21:54,534 --> 01:21:56,202
I think she will.

1729
01:22:00,498 --> 01:22:02,000
I didn't sign.

1730
01:22:03,668 --> 01:22:07,255
I finally found the home that
I don't wanna run away from.

1731
01:22:12,719 --> 01:22:14,512
That's one way
to make it official.

1732
01:22:15,055 --> 01:22:18,850
I want to be in a place
where people knew my grandma.

1733
01:22:18,892 --> 01:22:21,770
I wanna write my five pages
and more, and I...

1734
01:22:22,896 --> 01:22:24,522
I wanna be with you.

1735
01:22:27,192 --> 01:22:29,319
Please tell me I didn't
imagine it.

1736
01:22:29,944 --> 01:22:30,945
No.

1737
01:22:31,404 --> 01:22:32,739
You did not.

1738
01:22:45,251 --> 01:22:46,878
I think he approves.

1739
01:23:09,067 --> 01:23:10,610
