- Renee, I just happened upon a window display,

you'll never believe what is front and center,

so if you had anything to do with this, thank you.

A European book tour?

For how long?

And when-ish do I leave Seattle?

Good thing I renewed my passport.

- For those of you just joining us,

I'm here with my old friend Ben Livingston,

CEO of Charmed Snowboards,

which, if you don't know, are flying off the shelves.

Demand's been off the charts.

Actually, we outgrew our local manufacturing space-

- And I hear you're taking the show on the road.

Yeah, you might say that.

We're actually preparing to open

a whole new factory in Asia,

and I'll be living over there until it's up and running.

- If you ever need someone to test

a new prototype, I'm around.

I'll remember that.

- Don't go anywhere, we'll be right back.

Thanks for coming, I know this was a last minute request.

- Please, after I canceled on you last time,

it's the least I could do.

Thanks.

A destination wedding in Rome?

That's a valid reason. - Almost wedding in Rome.

We're still very happily engaged.

Between my work and the success of Cara's second book,

scheduling's been tough.

Sure it wasn't just cold feet?

- Cara, you want to chime in here?

Oh!

Hello!

Hi.

Congrats on your new book.

- Thank you. - I was just asking

Ben about- - Our wedding?

Yeah, it's still on, it's just on hold.

But not for long.

We're actually about to kick the planning into high gear.

What do they say, second time's the charm, right?

- I'll tell Megan I'm running late,

thanks to your shameless book plug.

It wasn't shameless.

The whole country agrees with me,

it's a national bestseller.

Might be an international one.

Renee's sending me on a European tour,

it starts in two weeks.

That's amazing!

- But I'll be gone for two months.

- Two months, that's when I leave for Asia.

We were so close with Rome.

When am I gonna see you?

- We'll plan rendezvous here, a few hours there.

No.

No?

- Let's say "yes" to each other before you leave.

No more uncertainty, no more rumors.

- Wait, what exactly are you thinking?

- I think the courthouse opens at eight.

- You want to get married tomorrow?

- With our schedules? The sooner the better.

What do you think?

Could that work?

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I can see your breath.

It must be-

Cold?

I miss that.

Add it to the list. Please.

- Have I mentioned how proud I am of you?

Because of Surgeons Abroad?

Not on this particular call, no.

- You are literally living your dreams.

Making a difference where you're really needed.

- Yeah, and I love it. I really do.

I just miss you, like a lot.

Like a lot a lot.

Did I ever mentioned that?

Not on this particular call.

- Okay. I understand, Miss Executive.

You're they're building a magazine, which I love,

but you don't have enough time to miss me?

- Oh, come on, you know I miss you too, like crazy.

Hi, Sean.

- Oh. - Hey!

Hey!

What's up with that big smile?

I might be getting married.

- Oh, did you set a date?

Yup. Tomorrow.

What?!

I know, it's a bit nutty, but-

No, let's do it! Let's do it!

Courthouse wedding.

Congratulations.

I never said "courthouse."

- I mean, Ben may have texted me.

Maybe not, but you know.

Oh. Word travels fast.

Should I get the three of us a table?

Oh, no, no, no.

We do not have time to eat, you need an outfit for tomorrow.

- Oh. - We gotta go.

Well, okay.

What about...

That's the one.

It's perfect.

- It's perfect with my highest heels.

But we're walking to the courthouse.

Ah, it's two blocks away.

And you'll be walking on air.

- Are you sure this is a good idea?

- Are we still talking about the shoes?

Are we rushing this?

I tried calling my dad, but I-

He'll understand.

He'll be thrilled.

And besides, you guys can throw a big party

when everyone's back in town.

At the end of the day,

you gotta do what's best for you and Ben.

What would I do without you?

Yeah.

I guess an elopement calls for action shots.

You guys are a beautiful blur.

You look ridiculously in love.

Aww. 'Cause we are.

- And we're ridiculously stoked that in just few minutes,

we're gonna be husband and wife.

Ooh.

It's my dad.

Should I answer? What do I say?

I haven't even told him yet.

It's up to you.

- He was so excited for Rome, to walk me down the aisle.

I'm not sure I can do this.

So then we wait.

Besides, you deserve your moment, your dress.

- And you deserve to see me in that dress.

- And I deserve to take you shopping for that dress.

- Looks like I've got you cornered.

That's checkmate, mate.

- It's probably for the best we're postponing it, right?

For one, I wouldn't feel right

without having you as my best man.

Don't wait on me.

Look, one thing that I have learned

in the field is that life can't wait.

Just have to do what you can, when you can.

Words to live by.

- Words that have running through my head a lot lately.

You mean with Megan?

Dude, she's the one.

I know it. There's no doubt in my mind.

- So what's stopping you from proposing?

What makes you think I don't

already have something in the works?

Hm.

Shh.

- Looks like the pizza's running even later than I am.

I'd call it a tie.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Half jalapeno, half bacon pineapple?

It's like we're married already.

- I think marriage is a little more complicated

than knowing each other's favorite toppings.

- True, also need to know how to pair them.

Should I get some wine?

Oh. Tempting, but I shouldn't.

I've been texting with my book agent.

Oh. About the tour?

About breakfast.

Translation: she wants the scoop on the third book.

- Wow. She never lets up, does she?

That's kind of her job.

I just wish I had a better sense

of how the last book in the trilogy should end.

It's gonna be your best yet.

- Can I get a slice of that confidence?

Actually, yes.

- Thank you. - Look, fans are clamoring

for your next book.

If that's not a boost, I don't know what is.

Now, you want my opinion,

as much as I love your idea
