Love is Blind (Love Is Blind)

- - Ah!

-I like pickleball so far. - You like it?

Whoo! You like that one, don't you?

Oh!

Do you know what these muds are doing?

I have no clue. I've never "mudded" before this.

-What are you doing? - This is the face of Simba.

-Ridiculous. -

Lower body.

-Happy? Yeah? -As happy as I can be covered in mud.

Are there any seasonings you want to bring from the house?

I can't think about seasoning right now.

- -I can only talk about gym stuff now.

Worrying about seasoning during your reps?

I think about everything when I'm working out.

- Clearly. -

I'm so excited!

Let's see what Chibi's doing. You ready? All right.

Oh, this is so pretty! It's so bright!

There's Chibi.

Hi, baby girl!

-Oh God! - Yeah, see?

The cold plunge!

Yeah, we should actually just do that right now.

Absolutely not! I said I would do it.

-I didn't say when. -Yeah.

I love it.

-It's so nice. -It's just crazy you're here.

I know.

-I can't wait to see your place too. -I know! I'm so excited.

Obviously, this isn't a, uh, four-bedroom place,

so, logistically, it would make more sense for me to be…

- Uh, enough space. Yeah. -I mean, that's what I want.

-You did say you would try the ice plunge. -Oh, I promise.

-Yeah. -I just don't know when.

-Maybe in five years. -That's all right.

I'll put it in the calendar, and I'll get a notification.

Then I'll be like, "Oh, I'm too old. I can't do this."

No! I told you about my mom.

I forget.

She stuck her foot in and literally ran out.

My dad sent me a video, and I was like, "Oh my God."

My parents asked, "How old is Jess?" I told them.

-"Does she want kids?" I was like, "No." -Were they sad?

They were like, "Good." They know me.

-Aww, good! That makes me so happy, Chris. -They're like…

I was so scared that your family would be like,

"Oh my God, we're never gonna have, like…"

-Yeah. -"…his babies."

-You know what I mean? - Yeah.

That was one of the things that I really liked in the pods.

-You were like, "Yeah, I don't want kids." -Yeah.

And I was like, "I'm okay if I never have kids ever."

At the same time, if I was with someone and that's really what they wanted,

I wouldn't be, like, totally against it, but I don't…

that's not in my near, near future.

I love you so much, and I know you'd be an amazing dad.

If there was a moment where you and I were just like, "Fuck, we want this."

Yeah.

It's not like I would say, "I would never even consider it."

But, like, that's not… what I see for us.

-Yeah, it wasn't a thing. -I'm just so excited.

I know I've said this repeatedly, but I'm so excited to come home to you.

Like, that is one of the things I'm most excited about.

I'll be there.

Chris' place is gorgeous, and it's the most incredible location.

But because of our three animals,

I think it makes more sense for us to be at my house.

-Are you ready? -I'm ready.

Wipe my feet off here.

-Ooh! - It's a little, like…

It doesn't smell like dog too bad, right?

No, you can't. It doesn't smell like dog, no.

I created a life that I loved on my own.

And I kind of was in the mindset of, "If I find someone, great."

And when I walked in today with my fiancé, I felt, like, very at peace.

- Oh my Lord! - Isn't it so fun?

Yeah. You don't even know what time of day it is in here.

That's the goal! Keep it real cold.

-Put on the heating pad. - Yeah.

This is gonna need to be a door.

-That's gonna be my closet. -Oh!

This could be a closet. So this will be your closet.

This is a good hat.

It's good. Literally, I was gonna bring it to the pods.

- Were you? -

- This room's crazy. -Oh my Lord. You have so many clothes.

- You can see some wild dresses. -Yeah.

-I kind of like this. -

That's the house. Isn't it nice?

-It looks great. You weren't lying. -Is it what you thought?

Um, yeah. I mean… there's a lot of, like, gold.

-You told me that. - A lot of gold.

-A lot of snakes. - A lot of snakes.

-The bedroom. -It's like a cave.

-Literally. -I love it.

- A forest… cave with heating pads. -Mm-hmm.

-I have multiple heating pads. -It's just funny.

-It just feels nice. - I know! Yeah!

If it makes your muscles feel better, your back or your neck…

I feel like it's very much a grandma thing, but I don't care.

Is it a grandma thing?

How many…

I don't even wanna use the word "young."

But how many not old people do you know

that use a heating pad every day?

-One. -

-Exactly. - Yeah.

So do you feel like you could see us living here together?

It's just different to, like,

be out in the suburb.

-That's all. -It's very different, but it's…

I feel like it's… at least in Columbus.

-It's so close to everything. - True.

-Not that it really does matter, but-- -No, I think it does, lifestyle-wise.

-It's a total, like, change too. -100%.

-It's a total lifestyle change. -Yeah.

Like, you're able to just walk wherever you want and get to everything.

- Mm-hmm. -I have to get in a car.

It's nice that you're so close to everything.

-I'm probably 12 minutes from your place. -I know. It's not a big deal.

My biggest thing was, like,

my mom and dad host everything,

and my biggest goal was I wanted to have a big enough space so that

if I wanted to, like, host our immediate family Christmas,

everyone could come and could just stay the night.

So I wanted three bedrooms. And this one just happened to have four.

Yeah, it is nice to be, like, just fucking peace and quiet sometimes.

-I'm just so happy you're here. -I love it here. I mean, it's nice.

People I talked to in there, I was like, "Yeah, this would never work."

It's like, you know, literally use the analogy of, you know…

Freakin' training for anything in life, that's gonna take a lot of hard work.

You get to where it's like, "Fuck."

"If we would've met seven years ago or eight years ago,

it just wouldn't have…"

Maybe if we met six years from now, maybe it wouldn't have matched up.

Right. Even a year ago, I didn't know if I ever want to get married again.

-Yeah, I remember you saying that. -I didn't wanna be in a relationship.

It's just bizarre to me,

in both our lives, how many things had to fall into place

for this to happen.

I'm so grateful for what I have with you.

I say the same thing to you, I feel like, every day.

- I know. -So…

Thank you.

Thank you.

-I love you. -I love you.

Are you on a call?

No, no, no, it's, uh…

Uh, so the way this works is, like,

once a quarter, Jerome Powell, the head of the Fed,

he speaks on things,

and those things cause ripples in the market that I trade in.

-How do you know the meeting's going on? - Oh, I check all the time.

-Oh. Get a Facebook invite? - There's calendars for it.

This is my job at this point.

I'm half-listening. I kind of understand where it's headed.

Well, I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow.

And he's very aware that I, like, wanna move up in the company.

When do you want to, I guess, get out of Cleveland?

Just depends on what he says.

I feel like I've been very upfront of me being more of a nomad.

I'm just very concerned of getting stuck in Cleveland.

-Yeah, I know. -Wanna make sure we're on the same page.

I'm not trying to trap you in Cleveland. I've been open that I love warm weather.

- Yeah. Yeah. -I want to move somewhere warm.

I did just get, um,

like, this soccer coach is basically sending me a contract today…

-Okay. -…to take a look at for Florida.

I just don't have any ties to Florida, I guess.

I also don't in Arizona, but I love Arizona.

I could be swayed either way.

Um, and Arizona is definitely still in the conversation.

I can definitely get a soccer job there as well as financial services.

I've just had the contract kind of come my way for soccer in Florida already.

Said politically, it does align with where we're both at, where we both stand.

Great weather, great golf.

It seems to be obviously great education as well for kids.

So it does seem to kind of hit all of my boxes that I look for.

-What are your thoughts? -I'm like… I don't know what else to say.

I'm gonna talk to my boss tomorrow.

We've been back for five minutes.

-And I'm still catching up. -And I've gotten a job in that time.

-Like, that's kind of my point. -Okay.

I reach out and can do that very quickly.

I'm just more worried on my end of not being able

to, like, make that move happen.

If it's not something you're really able to do.

'Cause I, like, similar to you, do like to plan, but I am very fluid.

Um, and I'm not fully certain…

Or I guess I'm having concerns that you're not able to be as fluid.

-Can I let you know more tomorrow? - Absolutely.

I feel like you're saying a lot with your eyes right now.

-But not really saying it with your words. -I'm just listening.

-I'm asking you what your thoughts are. -I'm just listening to you.
