Exposure

This is an oldie.

Oldie but a goodie.

I love that picture.

Do you keep this up there all the time?

I do.

Having that particular picture up there

reminds me that no matter where I go,

the most important thing in life to me is us.

Those were some good times.

And the best is yet to come.

You're so corny.

Yeah yeah.

Man, my ears are really starting to pop now.

Yeah, we still have another thousand

feet or so to climb.

How high are we now?

Over nine thousand feet.

It is really beautiful up here.

It is.

The perfect place to start over.

So what do you think?

It's amazing.

Now I know why you liked to spend

so much time here as a kid.

Some of the best memories

of my life were made here.

Okay well.

I want to see the inside, come show me.

Wow.

Nice, right?

Yeah.

It's cozy.

I'm gonna flip on the power

and get the rest of our stuff.

Okay.

Oh shit!

Guess we're not breaking in the new bed.

What?

It's full.

Well...

Oh my God.

God, deal with it.

I think we broke something.

Everything's working fine on my end.

Oh my God, no seriously!

Didn't you hear that?

It's a picture frame.

Be careful not to cut yourself,

you know how you get around blood.

Yeah, I get it.

Well what is it?

It's a picture of my grandparents.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Nothing?

We can talk about it later,

just not right now.

I got to get something to clean this mess up.

Babe?

I think I'm gonna try painting a landscape.

I know I don't usually do landscapes but

we have this perfect view of the mountain peak

just right out front.

I thought you preferred more modern stuff.

I do.

I just thought something a little more

conventional might be a fun change.

Look at you showing public access.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, like maybe get you a nice little tree over here

and ooh a pleasant mountain top here in the back.

Is that supposed to be Bob Ross?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll just paint this happy little mountain

and put it over here by my pile of dead bodies.

You see a forest fire start to arise

and a squirrel with a jeep full of Quaaludes.

What's wrong with you?

God.

You're ridiculous.

So do you want to talk?

We are talking.

You know what I mean.

No, I don't.

The picture in the car, the awesome foot rub.

I mean don't get me wrong,

it's really great, it's just..

Too much?

Well, I don't know I just..

I understand.

I don't, no that's just it.

It's just not the James that I'm used to.

That's good, right?

It's good if it's sincere.

Look, I don't want you to feel

like you're doing anything wrong,

I'm loving the foot rubs but,

you don't feel like everything's just a little off?

I don't know like, maybe it's just the new environment,

or just coming out here or,

you know what?

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I want to communicate better.

I appreciate you telling me how you feel but,

I'm just trying real hard you know?

Yeah I can see that.

Sorry.

I just I think forcing it is maybe the wrong way

to go about it.

I'm not trying to force anything but,

don't you agree we're worth fighting for?

Okay.

Alright, you're right.

I will stop distracting you

and you can get back to work on the feet.

Okay.

So maybe do a better job this time.

Yeah, how about that?

Ow.

What is wrong with you?

Yeah well.

Lightly harder.

Hey, Babe.

Yeah?

Have you seen the box with my paintbrushes

and paint and everything in it?

No I haven't.

Is everything out of the car?

I thought so.

I guess I'll go look again.

It should be unlocked, I left the keys in the cup holder.

Okay thanks.

Not a problem.

Mira.

Prepare.

You're alive.

Mira.

Mira.

Did you find them?

Jeez.

Oh, you did.

What's the matter with you?

You look spooked.

It's nothing.

Not used to the wide open spaces I guess.

Seriously I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Morning, Mira.

How'd you sleep?

Great.

So did you know there's know hot water in the shower?

Oh yeah, there's a wood burning

water heater in the front cellar,

I gotta figure it out.

I'll tell you what, later today

I'll chop some wood and feed the furnace.

That would be wonderful.

Cool.

I'm sorry I left you on the couch last night.

You were out and I did not want to wake you.

Honestly it was fine.

I haven't slept that well in ages.

Good.

Must be the mountain air.

Eggs?

Yes please.

Here you are.

There you go.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Did you go out barefoot this morning?

What, are you my mother now?

James I was just asking.

So sorry, I have no idea where that came from.

Are you gonna eat?

Suddenly not all that hungry.

Nice ax.

Yeah it was all I could find.

I'm sorry for what happened in there earlier.

You know how familiar that sounds, right?

Look those times are behind us.

Look James,

we both worked really hard to fix everything.

I mean, we're here you know, I just

I don't even want to catch a whiff

of going back there again.

You won't, I'm sorry.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you too.

Alright, get your ass back in gear.

If I don't get some hot water soon,

I'm gonna turn that hatchet on you.

Mira.

Prepare.

Hey Mira.

Whoa whoa, are you okay?

My painting.

What about it, it looks good.

No, it didn't look like that a second ago.
