everything's fine and the new job well the teaching job in Austin fell through which is why I took this substitute job here in chest Hollow so I think it's it's going to be let me guess fine yeah fine you know if I could have taken a job anywhere else I would have but it's just for 2 weeks I think it be good to be back home I can help out mom and dad with the orchard in the mill hang out with Jason again and I don't know maybe even run into uh Rachel you know she moved away right yeah first for thinking I [Music] guess after 39 years of being married to you I still can't read your mind however I do know when something's bothering you you're going to laugh at me I would never okay this time I won't does it make us horrible parents are great ones now that both our kids are back home oh wait bar I'm serious Drew still won't talk about what happened two years ago and Dela still can't figure figure out what she wants to do with her life we are horrific parents the worst of the worst oh they're figuring their lives out in their own time in their own way and they've come back home to do it D it maybe a few too many times but she'll find her way they both will and that makes us the perfect parents for them I don't know where you got that speech I feel better now your turn now what about this new job I thought everything was going good it nothing to tell it just didn't make me happy okay but you know it did when I took over your room last week and moved all your stuff into the guest room right very funny what I need privacy as I navigate this new chapter in my life so you're going to be sharing a bathroom with Grandpa well you know um I'm a lot faster than you [Music] [Music] are [Music] we got the loan if we want it are we insane to expand now most couples are age of planning their retirement well good thing we're not most couples in what if it doesn't work we've always had faith in us God is always good now is not the time to forget that okay let's not say anything to to your dad or the kid jet in case this doesn't work I don't want to have to be in case what doesn't work oh uh well we have a we're we're trying this we're we're trying a thing a new thing we're trying it right you guys aren't acting strange at all anyway um I was thinking since I don't start until Monday maybe I could help you guys out I mean the store looks pretty empty you guys do know that there's hardly any merchandise in there right of course we do we do right there oh yeah yes well we're working on it soon uh why don't you and I take a father son walk and see about some apples apples [Music] right [Music] o so before you interview at Clark's Orchard where's my lunch date supposedly unpacking but most likely though he's playing with whatever he unpacked in box number one I seriously can't thank you enough Jen for finding this house the interview for everything you did me the favor by running the house as for the job they were looking to expand and I knew you'd be perfect thank you yeah Aiden and I definitely needed a change I just I hope moving here is the right decision I mean you've known me since the first day of college I was the overthinker of well everything and I still am but I don't know when you mentioned the job opening up and this house did I rush into this it was this a terrible idea moving here without actually getting the job I should I don't know what if they say no could they say no will they say no stop second guessing yourself you've been wanting to move out of the city for years you're right okay um how do I look like someone about to nail a job interview thanks all right I should go cuz I want to be early you sure you don't mind watching Aiden you kidding we've been waiting for you to leave so we can have ice cream for lunch you're the [Music] b so if I'm honest Mrs Clark oh please call me Susan Susan according to my research most of your Revenue comes from your orchard and only locals know about your cider so I think we need to do something really exciting to draw in a crowd apple cider donuts are exciting if you're serious about making these changes we need to make this place an attraction a destination somewhere that can grow into a full day's event and not just for the people in and around Chestnut Hollow um can you excuse me for one second Lany Drew do you need something nope um all good just uh working away go ahead please so some lowcost easy fixes would include offering hay rides we could add a craft day oh nature walks we could support a lot more local bakeries especially for the season I also thought we could put hay stacks and corn stocks around the property I feel like families are going to love that and I also think you should strongly consider a petting zoo imagine baby donkeys little lamp and believe it or not they're fairly low maintenance a petting zoo uh you can't be serious I uh I I apologize Laney this is my son Drew Clark oh your son it's okay hi I'm Lany I'm sure you'd love to stay as the Orchards advisor accountant no I'm not the I'm not actually on the payroll um unless you count my allowance but so it's not like i' get an allowance now I mean that that would be ridiculous I'm all I'm all grown up me I I used to get one for chores long time ago I'm a teacher well if you'd forgive me and with all due respect I really love to continue my [Music] interview yeah of course that means on oh and Drew you got some um donut on your face other side all got it I'm going to I'll where were we petting zoo petting zoo who are you sping on Grandpa what are you doing sneaking around well I could ask you the same question whoa she's a cutie stop did you get her number no I didn't get her number well why not because she is not my type like at all well for somebody you don't like at all you're spending a lot of time watching her drive away Andrew Joseph Clark oh all three names I haven't heard that since you were a teenager before you say anything I am sorry for which part there were so many Unforgettable moments for all of them do you want to talk about it a petting zoo mom come on that's ridiculous that's not what I was referring to listen I know you've been busy teaching but if you've been making time to meet people you should be getting out there again Drew when was the last time you had a date we don't have to talk about this okay I am fine all right I get out enough well it seemed fairly obvious you thought Lany was pretty and it was more than obvious that in fact you do not get out enough by the way you handled meeting her I appreciate everything you're saying mom I really do but I'm fine a word of motherly advice the next time you're in front of a very nice smart beautiful woman don't do what you did today copy that and you should know that we hired Laney to manage things and she's going to market the Millan Orchard why Mom I mean what's wrong with the way things are nothing's wrong but your father and I might want to change a few things in the [Music] future you're up early hey I wanted to wish you good luck today uh I also wanted to give you these um okay thanks I guess uh what am I supposed to do with them you give them to the teachers I thought it would help you make some friends and also it's free advertising for the grand reopening this coming from the new marketing woman that Mom and Dad hired no it was my idea wow pretty smart though how would she know you're a teacher anyway oh right except for that time yesterday when you completely embarrassed yourself and the family name when you met her mhm forgot completely forgot yeah I'm sure you did thanks for reminding me no problem good luck today thanks D all right great so who'd like to go next oh I can't let's see how about sorry interrupt but we've got one more this is Aiden Aiden welcome come on in we got a open seat for you right there in the back heyen hien Mr Clark and I used to be best friends when we were your age we still are hey yeah yeah yep so I need each one of you to give him a hard time okay don't listen to him all right thank you principal Jason you're welcome okay uh where were we oh Aiden we were just talking about our summer Adventures do you have a story you'd like to share no that's okay that's all right uh who wants to go next we're here Chris I went to basketball camp basketball camp cool uh whereabouts Aiden right Mr Clark I know you uh you missed the bus Aiden hi honey I'm so sorry I'm late how was your day good okay oh it's you yeah you know I was thinking maybe we could forget about our first introduction it wasn't exactly one of my uh finest moments I'm Drew Clark I'm Aiden's teacher Lany Ross new Marketing Manager for Clark's Mills and [Music] Orchards well thank you again no problem you know uh you're going to be at the orchard be driving there after school I could take Aiden with me if that help you out I appreciate the offer but that's really not necessary because it will never happen again okay see you tomorrow buddy [Music] so how was your first day was it fun if by Fun you mean nerve-wracking intimidating and completely overwhelming then y totally fun well what about Aiden did he make any new friends friend just Mr Clark Mr Clark any relation to the new job do you remember the opinionated son who rudely interrupted my interview yeah well turns out that he's Aiden's teacher well he must have made a good impression if that's all Aiden's talking about no he's only talking about him because I was late picking him up from school I don't know was it a mistake moving here I mean I took Aiden away from the only home that he known and the only friends that he's ever had it was a first day for both of you just give yourself time to settle in I'm doing the overthinking thing again aren't [Music] I hey brush your teeth so I know that we haven't done this in a while but I was thinking we should reinstate the best part of our day tonight what do you think okay do you want to go first the best part of today was right here and right now I'm pretty sure that's the best part of my day too is it okay if we have the same one tonight okay I love you good night love you [Music] too before I forget I want to discuss your hours Jude tells me you have a son how old is he his name's Aiden and he's actually going to be 12 next week a I completely misjudged the distance yesterday but whatever hours you need me I will make them work I was just going to say the same thing to you leave whenever you need to family comes first I'm sure it hasn't been easy getting settled in a new town yeah it's a little tough and Aiden's quite shy I wasn't talking about Aiden yeah it's been hard for me as well but you know we really needed to change and I'm just so grateful for this opportunity so thank you we are so happy to have you on board now before the day gets away from us I was hoping we could discuss those ideas you had yeah absolutely which ones do you want to focus on all of them okay but first um any thoughts on a name for the reopening I know something catchy but also something that makes people feel it home when they come to visit so I've been thinking and I thought instead of the normal seasonal opening M what if we make it a grand reopening and name it Harvest Homecoming Lany that's perfect you like it yes so imagine that area over there overflowing with cornstalks and bushels of apples and then I thought we could get the old truck out back park it out front and make it a photo op area great ping zoo over there okay the fence is going up this weekend and then all hands on deck until everything is ready okay great and then once the Orchard's back up and running you could have school functions birthday parties work functions all that sounds wonderful we could do fundraisers too yeah exactly and the more people that come hopefully they tell their friends because word of mouth is the best marketing because it's free I know this Probably sounds really really overwhelming but I just wholeheartedly believe that Clarks is going to be a place where family and friends come together and they make memories that last a lifetime and not just in the fall season I'm already brainstorming Christmas uh why don't we pick this up in the morning the traffic can be a little hit or miss about now oh okay yeah thank you I will see you tomorrow yes okay exited all right so it's all on the wrist okay snap the wrist release at the end just like so that want to give it a try how about this picture we're on a beautiful Lake in a really cool old rowo does the boat have any holes in it um really hope not come on give it a try nice work you're a natural buddy hi Mom good job can you thank Mr Clark thanks no problem bud good job I need to apologize I am never late so do you usually keep fishing poles in the back of your truck well you know what they say you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of boy and you never know when you're going to come across a lake that uh needs a little fishing you know I think that's equivalent to the city girl version of you never know when you're going to walk past a story that needs shopping okay yeah I feel like I've been saying this a lot but thank you it's no trouble okay uh actually could I get your number no not like that not get your number get your number I just I just thought maybe I could ask you to bring Aiden back to the orchard if I'm ever delayed again you know if you wanted to call me or text me sometime could have just asked no no it's not like that it's I'm just you know what forget I said anything forgot okay bye [Music] bye Mr Clark asked me to give you [Music] this okay so family meeting Aiden like I know moving here was a really big change you have a new school I have a new job and also a stubborn cow can really make somebody late I had a feeling You' need to see it to believe it she completely blocked the road that's a big cow I know but still I'm really I'm really sorry I was late it's okay Mom it was kind of fun it was MH well that's good hey so your birthday's coming up so I was thinking maybe we could throw a party at our new house invite some kids from class maybe can I go fishing sometime um yeah I will bar some polls and I will find out where to go not with you with Mr Clark honey Mr Clark can't go with you he was just helping today but we could still go never [Music] mind okay so do we tell them over dinner you don't need my father's permission or our children's this is our Cider Mill our Orchard the last time I checked our money I know but we should explain the baby goats before they arrive they are going to think we lost our minds I'm pretty sure they already do uh so we have some news your your mother and I uh maybe a job okay you guys your father and I would like to tell you clear out the fridge and freezer I need all the space I can get uh dad dad what is all this it's for the church bake sale okay you know you're supposed to actually bake things not buy them well I can't bake so I bought I just following Drew's advice you said in order to get Miss Francine's attention I had to be direct and make it obvious I meant ask her out on a date not buy out every Bakery in the county well well I wanted to get her attention so badly I signed up to supply something for everything on the list oh my while we're on the subject I also offered the orchard for the bake sale I thought as long as we're temporarily closed no one will care Dad we're kind of in the middle of something here which is why we wanted to talk to everyone oh I'm going to eat later oh Jason I got to take this you we'll tell them tomorrow we're getting baby goats goats goats goats or now yeah now it's good night night hey why didn't you say something earlier we we can't let Mom and Dad put any more money into this Orchard well not that it's any of our business but I think what they're doing is great are you kidding me D this whole thing is absurd man it all started with Lany and her crazy ideas no it didn't look I know they talked about expanding a long time ago but that's just it that was a long time ago now is not the time to be putting more stress into a business that's getting along just fine I think it's awesome that they're still growing together still supporting each other still in love I mean you and Rachel were only together for 2 years really thanks very REM Remer da I didn't mean it like that [Music] all right everybody now we've been talking about this for a week now it's time to write about your favorite memory when it happened what you did and who you were with now once you've all written your papers each of you will give an oral presentation to the class all right now don't forget read chapters 2 and three kids I'll see you after school boom okay no no no whatever it is the answer is no you don't even know what I'm going to say yet dude we've known each other since we were 10 that look has got me in trouble more times than I can count name one time well when you said it would be fun to rope swing into that Lake it was epic it was Winter it was 30° and I was grounded for a month like I said epic so I'm coaching basketball this year too we're going to have drills after school to help the kids get ready for tryouts and get a jump on condition how are you going to do that while coaching football I'm so glad you asked here's my plan you can run drills till I'm done on the field I think you forgotten I'm leaving soon I know I'm the vice principal I'm the one who signed your contract you can help out your oldest friend until you go see great plan great plan dinner soon you're the best yeah I'm the best oh um sorry do you uh need help or something no um actually I was looking for my parents but um apparently they're not here uh nope they left me in charge oh so uh where's Aiden uh my girlfriend Jenna is watching him at my house until I get home apparently he has a lot of homework from his teacher you know I heard about about that guy really really nice really cool great great teacher I hear and humble too I heard that too very very humble so I was about so I I was thinking after you what I was going to say is if your offer still stands I'd love to take you up on driving Aiden back here after school yeah yeah yeah I can absolutely do that um I'm not a buddy of mine he's got this after school basketball training camp and uh you know I think it would be great for Aiden to come by hang out maybe even make a few friends yeah that sounds great I mean if it's not too much trouble absolutely absolutely no as in absolutely no trouble at [Music] all [Music] Grandpa moved all our contents of the meal refrigerator till this breake saale is over tomorrow can't sleep now you probably don't remember this but when you were oh 6 years old Dela would wake us up crying in the middle of the night well Mom calmed her down you and I would come down here here and talk about life six huh must have been a riveting conversationalist well you'd be surprised I still say we have you to thank for The Cider serious Grandpa wanted to step back from the dayto day with the orchard mom was debating whether to go back to teaching I must have looked stressed and you asked me what was wrong I told you that I wanted to start making cider and open a little store I still hadn't told Mom yet you remember what you said what are you waiting for we've been doing all we can with the orchard by ourselves but we're at a place now where we either sell and retire or we go big yeah I'm just just worried what if it doesn't work out you know what then that's just it about the future it's not for us to worry about it that's that's God's jurisdiction not our son please don't take this the wrong way but maybe if you stopped running away from people and places you might understand what I'm talking about you might find yourself in that future a little happier that I am not unhappy fine I'm less unhappy than I was okay what I feel like you need a hug I don't need a hug dad dad I'm good really Dad give your dad happening huh yeah thanks [Music] [Music] Dad there you go there she is Miss Francine look don't look don't look don't look do you want me to look her not Grandpa yes uh no uh is she looking over here I have to look to answer you okay but go real slow okay okay well now you look like you got your head stuck in a jar of molasses good morning good morning Miss Le what are you doing here but he means hello let's get into that Grandpa I mean I thought you had the day off I do but I thought handing out flyers would be a fantastic idea to let people know about the Harvest Homecoming need help I mean you should know I'm quite the hand outer of all things Flyers you know I would say yes except I wouldn't want to interrupt any secret covert operation with your grandfather you'd be saving me trust me plus we can't do any work for the opening until the bake sale is over than his grandpa trying to get a date you know I was actually about to take a break do you think the owners would mind if I sat in their backyard probably not but uh just to be safe I should join you good [Music] luck do you need your help all good your family is so wonderful your parents are ridiculously cute yeah they uh definitely set a high standard for relationships yeah I didn't know love could look like that it's definitely not been my experience mine either is that about you're a substitute teacher who travels around cuz you never stay in one place long enough to get close to anyone who could possibly hurt you wow not bad I minored in Psychology yeah I've spent my entire life up to my grandparents and my parents relationships so when I met Rachel my ex-girlfriend I just sort of assumed it would automatically be like theirs I maybe if I would have stayed it would have so what happened you guys just gave up when I got hard not exactly we had our entire lives planned out 6-month plan to a 40-year plan year two get married year three start start a family the more we planned the more we changed not necessarily for better or worse just different at the end of the day you do want the same things anymore I get that wow so you have a lot of memories here yeah yeah not all of them are sadly I grew up playing guitar even wrote a few songs of my own well given my extraordinary therapist skills uhhuh by the sounds of it you don't play anymore no that's part of my old life wow I just hijacked this conversation huh it was really nice thank you for sharing that with me Mr Clark I see your Bab Beach goods sold very well this morning oh yes ma'am they really did yeah all old Family Recipes they are everyone is talking about the unique selection of delectable Southern desserts hummingbird cake buttermilk pie you are quite the baker Mr Clark I must get some of your recipes from you oh that would be a pleasure Miss Francine wonderful well why don't we say Monday morning right here at the orchard we can pick some of your sweetest apples and then you can show me how you made that Maple Apple upside down cake hello grandpa how do you make a maple Apple upside down [Music] cake [Music] [Music] see [Music] all make sure you give your partner a good Target okay see nice chest passes all right let's let's go this is the kids you want to train for basketball the one sitting in the bleachers um not exactly I just thought he could play a few games you know meet some kids since he's new in town I'm helping his mom out by driving him back to the Orchard and I thought he could hang out here until I'm ready to go there it is you like the mom I did not say that you didn't have to but first of all you know me okay I would do anything to help out any of these kids and second it is not like that I'm just helping ly out since you had been working overtime to get the orchard ready before the reopening right and it'd be be silly for her to drive out to the school when I'm literally driving right back out to the orchard literally mhm literally I'm leaving in a week remember all right so whatever you're scheming up in that heav you can forget about it just give me a whistle thank you sorry all right kids line up on the Baseline in groups of four groups of four uh Chris come here for a sec you think you can ask Aiden to join you guys sure [Music] [Applause] [Music] coach hey how's it going good but if Lan is serious about the store being ready for this grand reopening event we're going to need more product oh I've been calling the local bakeries and no one will commit everyone's short on staff well I think we need to order hats and shirts with a new logo on it and coffee mugs people love a good mug I love a good mug D I need to ask are you still thinking of leaving soon if you don't like my ideas Mom you can just say so I love your ideas that's why I'm asking just if you decide you want to stay and work here permanently your dad might just want you to be happy but at some point you have to figure out what it is that makes you happy and commit to it you really like my ideas love them you know I'm thinking right now is a really good time to ask for a raise oh I'll give you a raise there you go [Music] hey bud good book it's okay didn't feel like playing any games today if you haven't noticed um not exactly what the general public would call athletically Built Well you know you don't have to be overly athletic to play games I no secret I was growing up right around your age actually I uh I was shall we say vertically challenged wait you were short y yeah I wasn't very good at first but I had a lot of fun and I made a lot of friends well I'm not going to try out for any team so it doesn't really [Music] matter I know it's tough being the new kid at school I mean you and I are kind of in the same place you being the new kid at school I'm the new teacher at school but uh promise you the more you put yourself out there the easier it gets if it's all the same I'll take your word for it all right well you could do that or could do what I used to do what make jokes you were funny nope but I did make a lot of friends that way you know coach Jason and I that's how we be friends and we are still best friends to this day can we go now [Music] sure good talk are you sure it's okay how about we ask your Mom first huh ask your mom what Mr Clark said it's okay that I can take a few apples home okay well we have five minutes and then you got to do your homework hey wait no not so fast what do you say to Mr Clark for driving you thanks no problem now can I go yeah so uh how was your day it was amazing amazing huh mhm I got a lot of work done and I actually saw some videos of you playing guitar and singing your mom showed me at lunch she did not mhm don't tell me she brought out the old photo albums no that's actually scheduled for next week oh yeah Drew you were so good I think you should start playing again well thank you I appreciate that I felt a little inspired the other night so I decided to take out my guitar really what inspired [Music] you this is

emergency uh Dad no more emergencies until after dinner maybe you can wait till Lany and Aiden leave nonsense you're sitting at the Clark's table your family besides I'm hoping that Laney and Drew have some good advice for me seen as how they seem to be getting along quite well okay Slimmer down Grandpa how about we eat first this can't wait Miss Francine asked me on a date oh good for you Dad isn't that what you wanted all along yes but she asked me to show her how to make one of the cakes see I think that's a perfect first day how come it's an emergency well because Grandpa bottled the desserts he sold at the bake sale to impress her see I think that's sweet and I think Miss Francine will think so too y'all are fired as my family except for Lany I'm keeping her what about me all right keeping you too Aiden all [Music] right here you go thanks it is the least I can do you survived a Clark dinner that is something to be proud of everyone is so nice you know you asked me earlier

to know someone actually it's been a while since I've even wanted to well if I'm honest really honest I could say the same [Music] thing whoops sorry to interrupt uh Grandpa no no we were just talking drinking apple cider sure okay the audience would like a concert from you and our first request is Fields of Gold ah grandpa I really don't know if I can it's been years since I played well nobody's

taking her on a date I thought you said it went terribly well the bacon part did it was beyond terrible but you liked me anyway a oh I almost forgot the best part I told her about the store and Bak goods and she said she'd be happy to supply pies to us that's some good news no I do believe we need an update from my grandson although it's none of your business I had a good time on my [Music] date your practicing early today okay so I was thinking what would you say if it took you and your mom out to the lake to go fishing really like today as soon as we're done here as soon as that the same place the fish drag you into the water that's the one I think I'm going to regret ever telling you that story probably so what do you think may you want to try some games today we're going to learn some new ones no just go work on my paper oh hey Aiden hi Chris [Music] all right everybody three laps around the gym ready and go hustle hustle hustle hustle hustle nice Aiden good job want to give it a try no I'm just here from moral support sure you can do it Mom it's really easy and Mr Clark's a really good teacher you hear that I'm a really good teacher come on just just try just try it okay okay fine I don't even know how to hold this thing right hand here okay thumb on the button there you go what you're going to do you're going to come back at a 45° angle okay and when you snap forward with your wrist you're going to push that button at the same time and it'll release the line can you tell that I live in the city I can't I think I got one oh wait really what happened oh where' the fish go I knew I had one I felt it I it's okay I know I know I know I saw it buddy you just keep trying you'll catch [Music] one he's so cute he's doing a great job hey look I hope it's okay I uh I got Aiden a fishing pole for his birthday what sorry I know I probably should have asked first but no I mean you totally did not have to do that that's so nice of you he's going to love it I hope so I even got his name printed on the spincaster on the it's on the what it's that little the little round enclosed thing line comes out uhhuh yeah anyway my dad got me a fishing pole when I was around his age S I hope I'm not overstepping not at all just thought it would be something cool for him to remember me by Remember You by right I keep forgetting that you're leaving or maybe it's just wishful thinking that you're knew it well if IID known that I was going to meet you and Aiden I would have applied the schools a lot closer with that said no one's called me back so you never know you may be stuck with me a little longer but when someone does call you are still leaving right yeah that was the plan but plans can always change they certainly can it's just with Aiden and I it's a little different you know big decisions like whether someone stays or leaves it's just not quite as simple when you have a child right it would be better if maybe we didn't see each other quite as much is that what you want no okay cuz it's not what I want either I want to see you as much as I can for as long as I can I just I need to take things slow for Aiden's sake and my heart's sake I get it I do and I'll take as many of these moments as I can [Music] get Okay so so if that's going wonderfully well and everything's good with Aiden I'm guessing we're discussing Drew he's perfect he's funny he's smart he's cute he's amazing with Aiden I think he's the person that I've been waiting to meet okay I'm trying to see where there's a problem here I just I don't think he's ready I I think he's ready for me for us for something serious do you know what it's like dating me you can't just date me and have it be casual for a few weeks not with Aiden I need to know whoever I get involved with is in it for the long haul and if they're not in it for the long haul at least they're willing to stick around and see if it could grow into something like that I don't know it scares me because I know I know Aidan's attached to him and if I'm honest I am too okay I'm the first to say those are all valid concerns but I'm also going to tell you everything you said is coming from a place of fear you should talk to Drew maybe he's feeling the same way no I want him to stay because he wants to stay I don't want it to be because I give him some weird ultimatum I agree but one day at a time you're [Music] right Aiden throw it here I can't hear you from down here in case you haven't noticed I'm a little bit vertically challenged nice one you kid I did what you told me and handled it with humor did you hear that they laughed mhm Hayden want to be in our group today they want to play with you buddy it's like you made some new [Music] friends how they looking who the basketball the kids who else right uh yes you know some of them look good some of them need some work wow that is a very little use where's Aiden uh Lany picked him up today before I forget I gave you a glowing recommendation earlier to a prep school in California you could be surfing like we talked about when we were kids right on the Pacific wow wow that's that's all you got no I I guess I just wasn't thinking of moving that far away for the next job I mean uh I'm kind of gotten used to being back home again well that's the thing it's a permanent teaching position okay well uh let to start soon as this contract's up am I missing something I thought you'd be more excited to get out of here yeah I know I thought I would be too I mean that that was the plan keep on moving it's only a plan until you decide to change it that's the thing not I know maybe it is time to change can't answer that for you but I can beat you in the game of horse Let's Go pass me the ball yeah yeah pass me the ball all right see what you [Music] got okay hey Mom look at these goats here can I get one for my birthday that would be a hard no but you can enjoy them while you're at the orchard hey bud we probably have like two more minutes if you want to have dinner at Chris's house tonight you know you raised a really great kid thank you he is yeah the first couple days of school were a little tough for him but he seems to really be loving it now yeah you know what it looks like like he's making a good group of friends too speaking of which we invited every single kid from his class to his birthday party and each one said yes wow wow is right that's great so I was thinking since Aidan's going to be with his friend tonight maybe you'd want to help me with the party favors I know that sounds like the most exciting thing ever but I could throw a pizza in too honestly I would love to but I actually have an interview with a school board oh it's a new job [Music] yeah that's it's good yeah yeah is it in chest Hollow oh right I see will you be on my birthday party tomorrow wouldn't miss it for the world [Music] buddy oh so I hear friends party huh yeah cool last thing I wanted was to come back home all my heart memories hey hey so you decide about that job yet no you decide what to do with Laney yet nope you know I had so much fun with her the past few weeks but what if that's all it is just two people having fun and what if it's more that's a lot of ifs though I don't know I mean it's always been my plan to leave but sah did stay and things didn't work out between us I mean I would have messed everything up with Lany and Aiden and that's the last thing in the world I want to do you know you could stay stay here at the or yes I mean well you keep switching jobs every few months because those jobs don't make you happy I know you love it here and I know you love working in the orchard so yeah say you stayed you could bring back bonfire Fridays you could you could help Laney create events in

is not just one specific favorite memory but it's on memories with my favorite person when I first moved here I didn't have any friends I do now but when I was kind of having a hard time I met my best friend he hung out with me after school he also helped me handle things I didn't understand took time to teach me how to cast My Line how to f too which I'm really good at now he got me this Poll for my birthday found out he's moving away soon which makes me really sad I don't think he'll ever know how much I appreciate him but having him in my life has been my favorite memory the [Music] end that was quite the presentation today yeah I kind of went for the heartstrings that's you did buddy you know sometimes times it's hard for adults to say what they really mean because they're scared of what people might think or how to react like I was when I first moved here when I didn't want to put myself out there to meet Chris and everyone yeah yeah kind of like that when you get older the big decisions you make not only affect you but they also affect the people you like too everyone you love yeah everyone you love how did you get so smart huh just comes [Music] naturally are you really [Music] leaving like for good well that's what I wanted to come talk to you about that was the plan originally then something happened I met this really awesome woman my mom mhm and I also met her really awesome son you've been like a best friend to me and today you reminded me of all those cool things we did and I just think I'd miss that too much wait does that mean watch out but I did mess things up a bit and I'm going to need your help to make them right you win all [Music] [Music] [Music] right [Music] oh miss Francine we are so blessed to have your baked goods here at Clark we're going to need 10 of everything you can make to start will you be able to handle that as long as this one here doesn't help me I feel like I should have given him a curfew seriously I decided to say oh I'm so happy sweetie there's one condition you're not not getting a raise I have a few ideas that I'm going to run by lady next week but what do you think about live music every weekend oh that's a terrific idea yeah well you should think through he's the one who got me to stay did he say anything about his new job in California just that he's going and doesn't want to talk about it thank you we are so grateful to everyone who came out today to join us for a Harvest Homecoming at Clark's Mill and Orchards Grand re opening remember the plan a Drew Clark everybody what are you waiting [Music] for hey everyone um I think I can speak for my entire family when I say how happy we are to have all of you here with us today this place has been a dream to my parents and my grandparents before them it has brought so much happiness to our family and now hopefully to yours too now none of this could have been possible without Miss Laney Ross now I haven't been on stage in quite a while so uh bear with me what's he doing I can't tell you but I'm pretty sure you're going to like it I've made some really bad decisions lately and let fear get in the way but now I need to let someone very special to me know just exactly how I [Music] feel [Music] the last thing I wanted was to come back home all my Haunted Memories One look at you I knew I wasn't alone and my heart could never leave all the twist and turns and this dark night disappear I look in your eyes the road to you was whining long and now you're here with me it was God's plan all along and I just couldn't see the two of us were meant to be and after all that we've been through no matter where I goes I'm always on the road to [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Applause] what are you doing I didn't take the job but your truck has all of your stuff loaded in it guess what that's because I'm moving out tomorrow I figured if I had a girlfriend you know probably time for me to move out of my parents' house find my own more permanent place to live that is if she accepts my apology i' would still like to see where things go together well I think she would really like that if she knew he wasn't leaving I'm staying for as long as you want [Music] me and I'm sorry I'm sorry I got scared and I don't know what the future holds but I do know I want you and Aiden in it it's taken a lot of roads for us to get here but I am
