Love and Sunshine

Ally?

Ally Craig?

Hi!

Sorry to disturb your morning exercise.

Oh, that's all right. What can I do for you, Corine?

Hello, Sunshine!

I need to replace the bushes down the side of my house.

The deer got the old ones.

I'm looking for something flowering

and it's kind of shady there.

What do you think?

Flowering bush, semi-shaded and deer-resistant...

I'm thinking astilbe visions, red or purple.

I love red.

If you love red, there's also heuchera red!

Oh, it's great, it's got

these wispy, delicate little red flowers

and vibrant red leaves.

Do you have those at the nursery,

or do you need to order them in?

We have a whole section!

You can come down and take your pick.

Well, in that case, you will see me this afternoon.

Enjoy your walk.

Thanks!

Another satisfied customer.

Ahh!

Oh, my gosh!

Welcome home, honey.

It's so good to see you guys.

Not as good as it is to see you and to have you home safe!

What?

You guys don't stop growing, do you?

It just happens! I don't even try.

In school, I had to draw a picture of a role model,

and I chose you, Uncle Jake.

Whoa!

That's just like me.

You're a great artist.

You can keep it and put it on your refrigerator.

Well, that is exactly what we're gonna do.

Yeah, it is.

-Great idea. -Welcome home, Jake.

Good to see you, Barb.

What about this guy?

Get in there!

I've seen you my whole life.

I missed you, bro.

Oh, I missed you, too.

-You look good. -You too, man.

Good? He's skin and bones.

Don't they feed you in the army?

Your mom has been cooking for two days straight--

all your favorites.

Braised ribs,

Southern fried chicken...

Oh, ho. ...All the fixings.

Well, in that case...

what are we standing around here for?

-Oh! -Let's go!

That's how it's gonna be, huh?

That's exactly how it's gonna be.

Come on, come on!

Personally, I like the purples...

but the reds are also nice.

Yeah.

And even the yellows,

they're really beautiful this year.

Oh...

I-I'm just not sure

what will go best against a white fence.

Go with the purple.

Really? You're sure?

Trust me.

Oh, thanks, Ally.

I appreciate it.

They want your opinion. Trust your instincts.

I'm trying. I just don't have your eye.

You're doing great.

I hope so.

Hello, Sunshine.

Oh, he's such a good doggy.

Oh, no.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Are you kidding me?

That'll be $23.85.

What's he doing here?

Ask him.

I don't want to talk to him.

Thank you.

No, no, no, no. We had a deal.

Ben is not supposed to come in when I'm here.

Apparently, he lost the memo.

He could break off our engagement over the phone,

but when it comes to buying hydrangea,

that has to be done in person.

You know what?

I have orders to place,

so I'm gonna go to the office, and you can deal with him.

-Uh... or not. -Hey.

So close.

Good morning to you, too, Emma.

What can I do for you, Ben?

Ally, it's been over two months.

Two months and 11 days.

Not that anyone's counting.

I know that I hurt you, and I'm sorry...

...but I still own a landscaping business

and you still have the best nursery in the area,

so we have to do business together.

Actually, we don't.

Uh, actually, I'm your biggest customer,

and I don't want to go all the way to Bloomfield

to buy plants,

because they don't even have half the selection you do.

But mostly...

they don't know me like you do.

Which is an even better reason for you to go to Bloomfield.

-Excuse me. -Oh.

Sorry.

Apparently, I didn't know you at all.

Yes, you did.

You know me better than anyone.

Look, I handled this wrong on every level.

You think?

Well, that's the problem, I didn't think.

I called you to talk,

to-to tell you how I was feeling,

and the more we talked, the more scared I got,

and before I knew it, I just... said it.

And I heard it.

And I'm sorry.

Can we just go to dinner so that we can talk about this?

Ben, there's nothing to talk about.

Thanks.

Oh, thank you, Sadie. See you next time.

Listen, I'm gonna be in here all the time.

You got the best eye when it comes to choosing plants

and I value your opinion.

I just want to salvage this part of our relationship.

Dinner? One time?

Please?

Where are you using this?

What? Oh, I'm adding them to a rock garden display.

That gray stone that you like?

Exactly.

Okay, then I would go with an emerald-blue creeping phlox.

See? This is what I mean. You're the best.

Can I get 20 trays by Friday?

But, you know what?

Let's do the red creeping phlox.

It pops.

If you really want the red, head over to Bloomfield.

I bet you they could get it by Thursday.

Or we could order it here.

Perfect.

It was great to see you.

I hate to admit it, but...

he's right.

He is our biggest customer.

I will keep it professional.

I'm not sure I can.

Yeah, yeah, I've picked up a lot of mad skills

since you've been gone.

"Mad skills"?

-Mad skills! -Mad!

So, as soon as you're ready...

-Ready? -Mm-hmm.

I've been ready for two years.

Listen, I'm proud of you.

You kept the company afloat while I was gone,

now I'm back.

I want to get my hands dirty and learn

some of these "mad skills" you keep bragging about.

All right!

Hey, kids! Strawberries and ice cream!

-Hey! -Thanks, Mom.

Thank you, Grandma.

Oh, hold on, you two. Gotta get you dried off.

Come on.

Oh, my gosh, strawberries are so sweet this summer.

Yeah, they certainly are. Oh.

I missed this.

-So... -Thanks, Mom.

...what are the chances that they're gonna call you back?

Well, there's always a chance, Mom.

I'm not active duty anymore,

but they can call me back when they want.

I don't want to worry about that right now.

I'm just happy to be home with my family.

Yeah, well, we're happy to have you.

Mm.

So, when are you picking up Sunshine?

The sooner the better.

I have to get in touch with the woman who was assigned

to take care of her, see what works.

I still don't get

why you didn't get her sent to us or Mom.

Rules.
