You did it again.
Okay, next time I'm cooking.
Who fancies waffles?

Oh, please. I'm sure whatever you cook
Grant thinks is out of this world.
He's so sweet.
Why can't we find a guy like that?
Well, for one thing,
all the guys in my line of work are already taken.
Such is the life of a proposal planner.
Speaking of which, Lara, did you see Marley's
latest proposal video on YouTube?
I think it has over three million views.
Yes, I love the part at the beginning.
The look on her face.
He had to move in closer because she just froze in shock.
[all laughing]
Now, if only I could see my sis in a video like that.
I'm not looking!
When it's my time.
You have to make time.
You're so focused on creating romance for others
that you're not even invested in your own love life!
Well...
What's that reaction?
Look at Lara!
What?
She wasn't looking!
And Grant is completely besotted with her.
Our dogs ran into each other at the dog park,
their leashes got twisted and the rest is history.
Yeah. Exactly.

Morning, Courtney.
You wanted to see me?
Another great job, Marley.
But if the rumors are true,
it's one of your last with Premier Engagements?
I know Big Picture Proposals
have contacted you with an offer.
Well, I haven't really had time to consider it.
And I... I wouldn't just--
I think you're ready for partnership.
We both know... I can't afford to lose you.
And, as your next job is going to be your toughest,
well, if you can pull it off,
there's no one I would rather go into business with.
Yes! I'm ready.
I mean, I... I think that I'm ready.
Thank you, Courtney. I'm so excited.
I already have so many ideas...
Wait, why is it gonna be so tough?
For one, you don't have much time.
And your client should be here any minute.

Hey, Marley. [laughs]
Hey! What are you doing here?
Are you my next client?
[laughs] Yeah.

You gotta help me out.
I have no clue what I'm doing.
Okay. My boss says we need to speed it along?
Well, our first anniversary is coming up

but I want to do it before then.
She'll never expect it.
I don't want to wait to start the rest of our lives together.
Aw, that's really beautiful.
So do you have any ideas?
Every time I come up with something...
I panic, you know?
She's been planning her perfect wedding
since she was a little girl.
Yeah.
How do I live up to that?
I don't want to let her down.
Huh.
Uh... hm.
Okay. What about recreating a childhood dream?
Go back to the farm she grew up on
in Ohio before she moved here as a teen.
Something personal. Sentimental.
[laughs]
-That's awesome! -Yeah?
Oh, I love it! [laughing]
Please, can you do that for me?
I promise I'll do everything I can
to make this the best proposal ever.
And together we'll create something better
than she could have ever imagined.

Curt. I'm Marley.
So what brings you to Little Brook?
Is it that obvious I'm from out of town?
You tend to know everyone from here.
It's not exactly a tourist hot spot.
Well, I used to come to Little Brook as a kid.
My grandparents lived here nearly 20 years ago.
They would take me to this café all the time.
Yvonne and her husband, Peter, are close friends.
More like family. [giggles]

You are not! You are staying with us.

New?

And the Richards are still considered
new blood around here.
Really?
[chuckles] No. I'm joking.
We're not that antiquated.

Last time I saw her she was all braids and braces.
She's good. Of course she has no idea I'm here.

He's clearly shacked up with his wife or girlfriend

Okay, well, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
Of course it was, Tanya!

Seven, okay?
This ruins everything!
Okay, well, just calm down,
take a breath and come up with a plan.
Okay?

That we need to save the farm?
I mean, you heard the call.
The bank is not going to give us another extension.
If we knuckle down we can make up for last year.
Don't be so proud.
It's the exact financial help we need.
Someone's looking out for us.
Dad would want us to follow what he taught us.
Hard work pays off.
And Dad would want you to put your emotions aside
and think rationally.
You're not letting him down
by getting a little extra help.
This is literally the nature of the business.
Listen, we need the money...
and it doesn't matter how we get it.
We can't afford help to pick the apples
and even if we could
who's going to buy enough
to clear our debts?
Everything's gonna be fine.
Trust me.

is just a little bit of positivity.
The trees can sense it.

The trees can sense it?
Yeah, you gotta talk to them.

Don't bring those negative vibes.
Here. A little local hot cider should cheer you up.

I just don't think that a proposal
at his place is something
that he wants right now.
But why?
Does he have something against two people
promising to spend the rest
of their lives together?

how important this proposal is.

Last chance.

Maybe more of your positive vibes.
You need to work on your positive vibes.
We'll see. We'll see.

Precisely!

Curt would be there today, did you?
No.
Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.

from your initial idea and open your eyes
to other possibilities.
You're right.

Maybe one will make a good venue.

There's a reason I've kept Curt out of the kitchen
all these years 'cause I've tasted his food.
I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
Uh huh!
No, it's actually really, really terrible.
[Marley] Oh, God.
-[Curt] I can still hear you! -[laughing]
Whoa!
Okay, please stop.
What did that carrot ever do to you?
[laughing] It's a carrot, not a tree!
-Okay, gentle? -Gentle... slowly...
Uh huh.
[giggles] That's better.
Okay.
I'm really loving my visit here.
Just being here, all these memories keep flooding back.
Like?
I keep picturing this cute, little bakery.
It had like a bicycle on the wall
and they made the best cookies ever!
Angelo's!
Yeah, he's still here...
and the bike.
No way!
It's not like where I come from.
In the city, the main street looks different each year.
And the staff.
You're anonymous, which is kinda cool but...
I don't know,
here it just kind of feels like everywhere is home.
So you're really a country girl at heart.
Okay, so now put the veggies in the bowl.
Okay.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
And do you have any loquats?
Loquats? What, are my apples not good enough for you?
No, it's to mix with the apples.
To bring out the flavour even more.
Trust me. My turkey stuffing is he very best
and that's my secret weapon.
Well, actually, I just picked
some up at the market the other day.
They're just in the pantry.
-I'm gonna go get them. -Okay.
I need aluminium.
Maybe...
Ah, here they are. Loquats coming in.
-Awesome. -Right there.
-You just chop them up. -Uh huh.
And you just add them.
Secret recipe, huh?
[chuckles]
Marley, you saved dinner.
It was a team effort.
[laughs]
Mmm.
I'm loving this cider. Where's it from?
Yeah, Curt, where's it from?
It's one of mine.
What? Really? It's amazing.
Cider number two.
Oh!
Fresh Off the Press.
I am so sorry.
I... I didn't know what I was doing.
I am not an expert.
This one is way better than the other one.
There's no need to apologize.
It's just... it's what you prefer.
Wait. You produce your own cider on the farm?
Well, it's still a hobby,
but I've wanted
to turn it into a cider production house for years.
What stopped you?
After a bad harvest,
you know, a couple of bad years,
it's just never been the right time.
Money's tight and the start-up capital's huge.
But soon.
I was hoping that an award
from a competition would give us the recognition
to kick-start it all,
but obviously the product isn't ready...
Well, I believe everything happens for a reason.
Maybe.
You should show her some of your other samples.
Yeah, I... I'd really like that.
Okay.
It's so cozy in here.
Thanks.
It's where the farm hands used to stay
during harvest season, but it's been empty
for a couple of years,
so it's kind of my little playpen.
Do you make all your ciders in here?
Uh hm. It's simple but it works.
Boil the fruit and your apples in here
and then when it's soft you mash it in the sieve...
And then... pour it through the funnel.
So there's no app on your phone
to do all this prep work for you?
I had to use my phone
to turn off my stove back home 'cause my sister
accidentally left it on when she went to work.
Well, you could use your phone to mash up the fruit
but I don't find that to be very cost effective.
No.
[chuckles] And then the next step
is you add the spices, the sugar, the honey,
any other ingredients to make a unique recipe.
That's the fun part but also the tough part.
And then you just let it cool and you got homemade cider.
[laughing] Well, it smells delicious in here.
It's one of these incredible drinks.
It's just so fresh, you instantly taste summer.
And then in winter when you warm it up it's like...
I don't know, it's like being wrapped up
in this really warm blanket, you know?
It's the most animated I've seen you.
Yeah, well, I'm pretty proud of this one.
-You want me to try it? -Mm hm. Give it a try.
[Marley laughs]
You could really make it as a drinks company.
This is fantastic.
Just for curiosity's sake, why did you choose number three?
And you can be honest.
I don't know.
Uh... the label maybe?
I don't know.
I'm not a professional, just ignore me.
No, that was the point of not having a professional panel.
We wanted to get potential customers' opinions.
Okay, so then, if I was to judge
purely on taste, yours would have won hands down.
But it's not just about the drink.
It's about how it makes you feel.
And, as somebody who doesn't know you,
what do I get from your brand?
Hm. Is that why you picked Kind Tree Orchard,
because of the name?
I think yours doesn't show us
what's so special about your cider.
It's family, it's local.
I want to see that.
Interesting.
I hope my vote hasn't stopped you from pushing ahead.
Not at all.
It's good to get it out there
and get a little feedback.
So do you, um...
your clients, do they ever invite you
to their weddings?
Sometimes but I... I never go.
Why?
I don't know anyone apart from the groom and...
Well, I don't have anyone to go with, so it's not much fun.
No boyfriend?
No.
Me too. No boyfriend.
Or girlfriend.
Oh.
[chuckling]
I guess your job, it might scare some guys away?
There's a lot of pressure to pull off a perfect proposal.
Not if he knows me.
I don't think you can ever know someone.
And that's the point, right?
Spending the rest of your life getting to know them?
Yeah. Um...
I should be getting home
because it's another long day tomorrow.
Yeah, I can drive you over.
And that concludes the tour of the cider factory.

Uh, row one is done.
It's amazing.
So where are the others?
Others?
Apple pickers?
Oh, it's... just me.
Wait, you're gonna do the whole farm?
Yes, ma'am.
I... I was just checking on you
before I got back out there
to see if you needed anything.
I got a big order I'm trying to hit here.
Okay. Where do you need me?
Oh, no, no. I wasn't asking--
I know, I'm offering.
I appreciate it, but you don't need to do that.
Well, it's not entirely selfless.
Once we can get a couple of rows cleared they'll be ready
for dressing for fairy lights on proposal day.
You see?
[chuckles] If you put it like that.
Come on.
Summers with my grandparents were the best.
I just loved getting out in the fresh air.
You know, my kids would have to grow up in the country.
How could they not when there's all this to play in?
Sounds like you had an idyllic childhood.
Pretty much, yeah.
My parents were kind of like textbook happy family.
And my pop told my mom every morning
at breakfast how beautiful she looked.
That's adorable.
Yeah, that's what I want.
To look at my wife in 20 years
and feel like the luckiest guy alive.
You could use the basket as a bucket
if you feel like you need to be sick.
Oh, no!
No I... I love it.
Uh, my parents separated when I was little.
Oh, sorry.
It was a long time ago.
My... my mom is a top property developer.
And she always has these exciting
new projects but they take up a lot of time and energy.
I mean, she always put me and my sister first.
Just not sure how much time that left for my dad.
That must have been tough.
Different.
But I really want to make sure that I put family first
and just experience that everlasting love.
Doing my job, I see it all the time.
Which reminds me, that scavenger hunt you did the other day,
that gave me such a great idea for Grant and Lara.
You want to incorporate that into their proposal?
Yeah, I think it'd be cute.
Just handwritten notes hidden around the property.
Oh! Another basket full!
Good team work! [chuckles]
I want to show you something.
I got some pretty awesome spots for your scavenger hunt.
-Come on. -Okay.
So that's our tree swing.
And over there by the fence, that's where the land ends.
Come here. Come here.
Here you go.
Oh, that's my hand, Dust.
There you go.
[chuckles] I've got a feeling I'm not in Chicago anymore.
I swear, if anyone proposed to me here,
literally anyone, I would say yes.
Surrounded by a quartet and fireworks?
No, that's not what I would want.
Just something intimate and private.
Just a perfect authentic moment.
You should probably know that I've already proposed once.
Although, obviously, I didn't get it right...
or we'd still be engaged.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. No, it was... it was never going to work out.
I think I was just in a rush to find my "one".
And there was some pretty obvious signs
that we were on completely different pages.
Is that why you said no initially?
Yeah, it made it easier to turn you away.
Just a painful reminder
that getting down one on knee doesn't...
doesn't always lead to happily ever after.
Thank you for changing your mind.
You're pretty convincing.
And don't worry about it.
It was a long time ago.
We're still friends.
I guess we just... we didn't have
what it takes to get through the tough times.
Well, I think that going through tough times
as a couple would only bring you closer.
And then when you ride the highs,
you got there together.
Right.
And for what it's worth, there's no wrong way to propose.
It's all about the intention.
Um, I need to be heading to the florist,
so maybe we should get back.
Sure, yeah, I'll drive you to town.
No, you have to stay here for the apples.
No, the western field, it's still not ripe
and I'll just be sat around waiting.
And your car?
Oh, right. Sorry.
Oh no, it's not a big deal.
I, uh... I gotta go into town
and get some groceries anyway.
-Sure? -Yeah.
[Marley] Do you know her?
Yeah. Everyone knows everyone around here.
Sacha's been really understanding that I picked
your place for the proposal and super helpful with the flowers.
Whenever I think the world is a dark place
I just look at a flower
and everything's right again.
What about the daisies?
They'd go with the rustic barn look.
Are you trying to take my job?
I would have gone for the same.
Don't be so surprised.
I've got a creative, sensitive side, too.
Well, most guys wouldn't want to admit that.
They need to look tough.
Maybe I'm not like most guys you've met before.
You're definitely not like most women I've met.
I'm not sure how to take that.
No, that's supposed to be a compliment.
Oh.

Okay.

Aw. Patti always wanted to know
the secret recipe to my gravy, but...
Cider vinegar!
[gasps] Peter!
No, it was a secret!
[laughing]
Not anymore.
[chuckles]
Peter, how did you propose to Yvonne?
Well, I met this beautiful, gregarious woman
when she worked at the café.
I knew right away that she was the one for me.
So my strategy, I was going to sit there
and complain about my food so that she would always
have to be coming over to me all the time.
And so when I asked her out, guess what she said?
No. She said no.
[laughing]
So she needed a little bit more convincing.
So one day I went in there
and I asked the waitress to go back and tell Yvonne
that somebody was out front complaining about the food.
So Yvonne came storming out and smoke coming out of her ears
and there I was in front of everyone down on one knee.
Well, I couldn't handle my emotions.
I went from anger to shock to tears of joy.
Simple but effective.
Now, I noticed that you two have been
working very well together.
Yeah. Yes, Curt has been great.
You know, marriage is about...
Teamwork.
Yeah,
it's like finding the other half that--
You never knew you needed.
Yeah.
And that is a very rare thing.
Can you imagine being married for 30 years?
They're so happy.
You'd figure they'd run out of things to talk about.
But doesn't seem to be too much peace and quiet
around this house.
No. I'm gonna miss them.
You leave Sunday?
Yeah.
Gonna be sad to go.
I feel so relaxed here.
Like I'm enjoying my life instead of just living it.

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

You just watched the first bride

The orchard's perfect for ceremonies.
And the weddings would be mainly sporadic

And it would give you extra money

Well, you could start by telling us where you need us!
This is exactly what we need.
Thank you, guys.
Well, we've got rows 5 through 20.

One team can start at the back,
the other team can start here where I left off.
Right you are.

Phew! Okay!
-Wow. -Wow.
Yeah.
Hey, the stall looks great.
Thank you so much for your help.

but she was worried she'd be more of a hindrance than a help.
But I'm secretly thrilled
because I'm looking forward to taking home my award.
Yours?
Uh huh. Let's face it --
that cider is a definite winner thanks to my loquats.
That's true.
Oh, please, try some of our signature cider.
The label was created at home. No third-party marketers.
Curt's Country Cider is the real, authentic home brew.
That didn't look good.
It'll be fine.
I think it'll be fine.
Phew!
Okay, this isn't working, just standing here worrying.
When I get nervous before a proposal what
I like to do is play the predictive text game
and it completely distracts me.
That sounds dangerous.
I'm not sure what this is going to reveal about me,
but what do I have to do?
Take your phone and then open your notes up.
And write "If I could have one wish come true, it would be..."
And than you just keep hitting the first word predicted
until you make a sentence.
And then you say it out loud.
-You go first. -Okay.
If I could have one wish come true
it would be...
[laughs]
To not have it rain on the takeout tonight.
Ah! So you don't cook a lot?
I often work late, actually,
and I don't want it to rain on the proposals.
Okay. Here goes nothing.
If I could have one wish come true it would be
for this day to never end with... you.
That's really cute.
It is cute.

Go on, tell her.
Unfortunately, Rachel,
I'm gonna need you to heal up that wrist of yours.

just for a second, I didn't know if your chances were good.
I found this nervous-looking gentleman pacing the orchard.
Invited him in for some iced tea.

Uh, bring it in.

Cool name.

Oh!
Okay.
I can do that.
I think.
But only four?
How will I narrow it down?
[laughing]
Wait I... I can't think of any right now.
Okay, what's... what's going on?
I keep thinking over and over
about what I'm gonna say and I...
I come up with nothing.
In the moment you'll know.
Just speak from the heart.
And, if in doubt, a favorite is, "Will you marry me?"
[laughs] Now go inside and take your time and enjoy it.
I'm going to start the finishing touches on the barn.
-Okay? -Okay.
You got this, Grant!
Woo! [chuckling]
So why are you doing this again?
This is the most important part.
The cameras need to capture everything.
It's kind of weird that you're hiding them.
Well, you don't want them
to feel like they're being filmed,
but they're gonna keep this tape forever.
So they need to see everything.
So how many cameras do you need?
Um... I think four should do it.
Four?! [laughs]
I thought you were going to say one!
Curt, you have to see their faces
when they watch the tape.
Usually I work over night to edit it,
'cause the guy's really nervous
and the girl's overwhelmed
and it's all just a blur.
But then they get to watch it back the next day
and relive it as an engaged couple.
It's really sweet.
How's it looking?
Can you just stand, like, just somewhere in the middle?
-Right here? -Uh uh.
Better?
Yeah. Can you go down on one knee?
Pardon me?
Just... just go down on one knee.
I don't want his head to get caught off.
I'm just testing the camera angles.
-Okay. -So just--
Okay, yeah, right.
-Right here? -Uh hm.
And just give me your best proposal speech.
I'm sorry, what?
Just declare your undying love for...
that broomstick over there.
The broom... stick here?
Yeah.
Okay, um...
[clears throat] Uh... hah.
Broomstick, we've uh...
we've been together for a couple of years now
and I think it's time
we take our relationship to the next step.
-Is that enough? -No. Not at all.
Uh, can you be more convincing?
Yeah, I need to hear emotion in your voice.
I'm not sure that they mics are capturing the lower register.
Lower? Hmm! Yeah.
Lower, passion, yeah.
Okay. Um... [clears throat]
You've always been a... a great listener,
and you've always been there for me.
Broomstick, will you marry me?
[chuckling]
Oh, you...
Did you...?
Oh, come on!
Yeah, no. I didn't.
But you did a great job.
Great, thank you very much.
You really swept her away!
It's only right after your little salt trick.
You're very, very funny.
[laughs] And this is for when Lara walks towards Grant.

[Sacha] Hey, guys!
The order is ready!
Sacha.
The flowers. Um, right.
Thank you so much for bringing them over here.
I completely forgot.
Great!
Four memories for the scavenger hunt.
Okay, why don't I help Sacha unload the van
and you can help Grant with the clues.
Yeah, that would be a huge help. Okay.
-Shall we? -Yeah.
Okay.
I think there's a great spot right over here.
Yeah. Huh?
-Cute! -[phone rings]
Hold on.
Hey! Hey, Lara!
Hi.
How's it going?
[Lara] You were right.
I should have trusted my gut!
Grant and I are finished. It's over!
What... what are you talking about?
He's been distant, avoiding me.
He hasn't brought up our first anniversary in two days.
And then all of a sudden he has a work trip.
Doesn't talk to me about it.
Just tells me.
So I check with his office.
They check his calendar. He's down for vacation!
I mean, why wouldn't he just break up with me?
Uh, Lara...
I think you're jumping to conclusions.
Take a breath.
Grant loves you!
Okay... okay there's probably just something on his mind.
I think you should just wait to talk to him when he comes back.
Okay.
I'll call you later, okay?
Love you!
Love you too. Bye.
[sighs]
Oh, boy. Um...
It's fine.
It's fine! It's fine!
Yeah, it's okay.
This means so much, you doing this for me.
So um...
I'll call you later?
Yeah.
Uh...
Hey!
You're all done? That was fast.
No, actually.
Lara called wanting to break up with Grant.
-What? -Yeah. And now Grant's upset
because he wants to call her back,
but he can't do that.
You want me to go talk to him?
Maybe just calm him down?
Yeah, I'll distract him
with a tour of my cider set-up.
That would be perfect.
I'll help get these into the barn
and then I'll come check on you both.
-Great. -Okay.
-Hey, Sacha. -Hi!
[Marley exhales]
Are you sure I can't call her?
You know, just make her feel better?
It's too risky.
You're gonna let slip that you know she's upset
and that can only mean that you're with me.
Look, just text her tonight
and tell her work's nearly done and that you love her.
And I promise you this will all be forgotten by tomorrow.
Now just maybe go and get some rest?
So that we can both come here early
and make sure everything is perfect.
Wow.
That's really good.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
Fine, I'll go check into my hotel.
Okay.
Yeah.
Mm! Oof!
That's amazing. It's amazing.
You're amazing.
[chuckles] Poor guy.
If he wasn't nervous before, he will be now.
What if she's so mad that he put her all through this
when she sees him she's gonna say no?
I doubt it. This happens all the time.
Really?
Yeah. Usually I don't hear
directly from my soon-to-be fiancées.
But after they'll tell me
that their boyfriend avoided them for days
and played it so cool they just shut down.
Not the best way to behave
right before you're gonna ask someone to marry you.
Exactly. [chuckles]
You have to feel sorry for the guys.
It can't be easy handling all that pressure.
Right. Actually, that's how my dad acted
according to my mom.
He was so crazy
that she thought he'd gotten some really bad news.
So when he proposed she was relieved.
She thought that he'd lost his job
or was fired or something.
[chuckles]
So... tomorrow's the big day.
Yes. Yeah, I should probably get an early night.
-Right. -Yeah.
Well... so, good night.
Good... good night.
-To you. -And you.
Thank you.
Okay. [giggles]
-See you tomorrow. -Yep!
Nothing. You had nothing to say!
Aw, we wish you weren't leaving so soon.
I don't want to. I love it here.
No one's forcing you.
No, no, I have to get back my apartment
and my job and my friends.
Can't stay in this bubble forever.
Can't or too afraid?
Afraid of what?
Miss Marley, I'm an old man.
I've been around the block a few times.
And the only thing I ever regretted
were the things I didn't do.
Tell him how you feel.
This isn't about Curt.
[laughs] I love this town, too, Miss Marley.
But even I know it's not all that.
It's the people you fall in love with.
And, sorry, I'm already taken.
You sure are.
Oh, Marley, don't you deserve your happily-ever-after, too?
Curt and I are just friends.
If he felt anything for me,
he had plenty of opportunity to tell me.
Maybe he's held back because he knows that you're the one
who has to choose between him and the life you left behind.
He doesn't want to put you in that position.
And, no matter what the reason,
when he looks at you, that's a man clearly in love.
I... I don't know.
Maybe he's still hurting from breaking up with his ex-fiancée
and isn't ready for something serious?
I... I can't stop my whole life and wait for him
to decide if he could go through that again.
Don't worry about Sacha.
There's no feelings there.
Oh, that's long in the past for him.
Wait, Sacha? Sacha is his ex?
Oh, you didn't know.
No.
Well, I... I guess Curt didn't want to mention it
because he's moved on, he's moved on completely!
I mean, if he hadn't why would he let you host
a proposal in the place where he got engaged?
'Cause... 'cause it means nothing to him.
He proposed on the farm?
Oh man, my big mouth!
Look, you should stop talking to me
and you should start talking to him before it's too late.
Otherwise, you will always wonder what if...?
I know things have been awkward
so I'm really happy to be able to finally talk.
Yeah. Me too.
[exhales sharply] Okay.
You got this.
So, I heard Sacha is your ex and I was wondering
if you guys were like friends or more, because...
Well, I think that you and I, um...
Are we more than...?
Ahh, Marley, you sound desperate. Get a grip.
She's gonna love these.
Well, I mean, she's one lucky girl.
And it's good to see you happy.
You know, I always wanted that for you.
And I think I always knew deep down
that I could never be the one to truly do that.
Anyway, I'm gonna head out so I'll see you around.

Thanks, Sacha.
Take care. And thank you so much for arranging this.
I really hope she likes them.
It's nothing.

So...
what do you think?
Fiancé material.
Hey.
Marley, I wanted to talk about this--
Yeah. I have the location money here.
I nearly forgot. It's all there.
I don't need this, I can't--
Please, just take it.
It's what we discussed.
-Marley! -Curt!
Just the guy I wanted to speak to.
Your sister told me about your award.
Congratulations.
I was going to tell you this before, but uh,
my brother, he's actually a drinks distributor.
And I was just on the phone with him
and I was telling him how good your cider was.
It's really good.
Well, thank you.
Now, anyway, I'd love to get you guys in touch
and you can chat
and maybe he can help put you in stores
around the country.
Wow, thank you.
Yeah, I'll definitely give him a call.
Um, break a leg tonight.
Thanks.
See ya.
Beverages and drinks...
Hm.
Okay!
Would you like to tell me what is going on
and why we have driven three hours for a spa?
I promise you, it will really be worth the wait.
Tanya, you're acting so strange!
Wait.
Why are we here?
Is this where the spa is?
I think it's getting a little late for a spa, don't you?
Tanya?
This is where I leave you!

That was amazing.
Yeah, they make a beautiful couple.
You made today very special for them.
Well, thanks to you for allowing the proposal
in a place that means so much to Lara.
I should go congratulate them.
Marley! I can't believe this!
Congratulations, you guys.
I'm thrilled for you.
My best friend and my fiancé.
Oh it's so weird, "my fiancé." [giggles]
Oh, did you do this?
Well, Grant wanted this perfect proposal for you
and needed my help to set it up while he was with you back home.
It was really hard for us both to keep this a secret.
I was so hard on him.
Well, maybe you can forgive him.
I'm gonna let you guys have some alone time.
Enjoy your night.
Thank you.
Look at that.
I love it.
[crickets chirping]
You're not leaving yet?
My job is done.
The lovebirds don't need me hanging around
in the background.
Without saying goodbye?
Did I do something to upset you?
No! No.
Just time for me to leave.
Look, we both got what we wanted.
The proposal went perfectly
and you got your farm back, the cider business and the girl.
The girl?
Yeah. Your ex. Sacha?
You never mentioned she was your ex-fiancée.
I didn't think that was relevant.
Was this all just a game to make her jealous?
You said yes to the farm
when I was going to use her land.
I get it.
It's a good incentive to teach her a lesson
and remind of her of your proposal
and everything she's missing out on.
You've got this all wrong, Marley.
I said yes because I could see how much it meant to you.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Sacha was my ex but...
it was never to deceive you.
I just didn't want you thinking
that I still had feelings for her.
She's just a friend.
Since you showed up...
you're all I can think about.
Let me prove it. Come with me.
Please.

Well, I hope all of this shows you how I feel.
You do so much for other people.
Now it's your turn.
So what do you say?
It's a very interesting proposal but...
I have to think about it.
You have to think about it, huh?
-Yeah. -Uh huh?
Yeah. [chuckles]
