A Cinderella Christmas Page #6

shank band in rose gold?

Or something like that?

I thought you didn't know

much about jewelry.

Why would you think that?

Because that's what

you told me at the ball.

You said that you'd never

envisioned your wedding

or your husband

or your ring.

You said that you believed that when the

time was right, you'd just... know.

See, that's what happened.

I got here

and I just knew.

Do you know how you're going

to propose to me yet?

Didn't I already do

that in the video?

Well, typically, a man makes

a grand public proclamation

of his love on one knee.

Right. Of course, I guess

I wasn't on one knee.

How thoughtless of me.

Of course.

I will plan something.

Tomorrow? Around sunset

for the best lighting.

Okay.

You've got to help me.

What is it now, Candace?

Nicholas knows

some thing's wrong.

- Really? Right.

- I think so.

What? What do you

want me to do about it?

You know those

little ear pieces

you use at parties to

communicate with the employees?

You cannot be serious.

You just have to listen in

on a couple of dates.

Feed me some lines, and save me if he

references something I don't know.

Candace, that's absurd. No.

I just need you to help me convince him

that I'm the woman that he met at the ball,

so that he'll relax and let

himself fall in love with me.

He has some major

trust issues.

Well, I can't

imagine why.

What are we

doing out here, Nicholas?

Well, it's dusk, like you

said, so I thought...

Do you not like restaurants?

I thought that the place where

we almost shared our first kiss

might be a bit more meaningful.

The front of the house.

Right... here...

in the front of the house.

At the ball...

when I first met you...

Well, when I first saw you...

I knew you were different.

Are you starting?

Is that a selfie stick?

Well, that's the price of

you making this so private.

I know

it's a little obtrusive,

but if I don't film it,

who will?

I mean, we wanna remember

this forever, don't we?

Okay, I can go

along with that.

He's going with it?

In a sea of masks,

I only saw you.

I was drawn to you,

and when I got to know you,

I became even more certain that

I was meant to be with you.

You're so smart,

you're fun,

you're beautiful...

and you understand me.

I want to feel the way that I felt at

that ball for the rest of my life.

I never want that

moment to disappear.

Candace Carrillo...

Carrillo. Carmichael.

I don't have to change

my initials.

It's so cute when that happens.

It's like it was meant to be.

Yeah, well, I was

the one at the ball.

It isn't about you.

Sorry?

What did I miss?

Did you say something?

Yeah,

will you marry me?

Yes, of course.

My ring! Where did it go?

I think it landed

in the pond.

Can we just clean that one up

or do you need a whole new one?

A whole new one.

We're going to have

to re-shoot this anyway.

Such a waste.

How long till

dinner's ready?

My words and memories

are one thing, Candace...

Actually, they're two.

But promising you'll

cook him dinner?

-You can't cook.

-Where are the glasses?

This was his idea,

believe me.

I was pushing for the rooftop

Michelin star restaurant downtown,

but he loves some beefy puffs

you made at the ball

and asked

if I would make him some.

Do you need to keep

an eye on the kitchen?

We can hang out

in there if you want.

No! No. The beef can practically

puff itself up at this point.

You make this all look

so effortless.

Angie's always sweating. She's got her

hair sticking out all over her head.

She's on her knees

half the time.

Tell me about it,

she's a disaster.

Not a good idea to insult

the person cooking your food.

I kind of think it's cute

how frazzled she gets.

I can't really think that she's just

a pay-check and gift bag collector.

It must've been just some sibling-like spat

that you were having that night, right?

-What?

-Repeat.

"After a good dinner,

one can forgive anybody,

even one's own relations."

Oscar Wilde. Say it.

"After a good dinner,

one can forgive anybody.

Even one's own relations."

Oscar Wilde.

It really is you.

Yes. What can I say?

I just prefer other people's

thoughts to my own.

Especially really old people who

weren't limited to 140 characters.

No, but really, why do you have

something like that memorized?

Some people know how to say things

in a way that makes people listen

and remember who said it.

It's a talent

I wish I had.

Some people know how to say things in

a way that make other people listen

and remember who said it.

It's a talent I wish I had.

I remember everything you said.

I even remember when you

accidentally thanked me at the ball

for raving about

the beef puffs.

Okay, enough about

the beefy puffs.

Don't you think it's odd that we're

going to be married in two weeks

and we haven't

even kissed yet?

Well, now that

you mentioned it.

You're different

in real life.

I warned you.

I was trying to be brave.

I warned you.

I was trying to be brave.

Yes. Yes, you certainly did.

You know, something

that I think is amazing,

we've never

actually discussed.

Honeymoon destinations?

No. No, the items

in our stockings.

Right.

I would love to hear what you

think the meaning of mine were.

You're on.

The only thing I know about broken clocks

is that they're right twice a day.

Broken clocks are right

twice a day?

Yes! Yes, that's the closest thing

I've ever gotten to a life philosophy.

We really are meant

to be together.

Yes, we are.

I can't believe

that you guessed that.

Okay, well, what about

the Spearhead gum?

The gum is obviously because you

like to have fresh breath for kissing.

No, that's the first product

that I ever got to spearhead.

That's why I called

the gum Spearhead.

I got to supervise the

packaging and everything.

What about the stone?

There was a stone?

A gem?

Ice cold.

Stop talking.

A rock.

It was a rock from Greece.

It was the first trip that I

ever took overseas by myself.

I never felt

so free.

I was just

thinking, no joke.

Greek salad

for the reception.

Is there any

Obviously the candles,

because you're romantic?

Well, I love to travel

and I get homesick.

And I found that, by lighting

a candle from home,

I could make any hotel room

feel like home.

So I pack one, but I

always forget matches.

Speaking of matches.

And flames, and heat.

You need

to check the kitchen?

No, I think

I've got it from here.

You know if you two get married,

he and I will see each other

a lot over the years.

He's going to figure

it out someday.

I don't think so.

-What?

-Nothing. Focus.

No? You want some?

Yeah.

It's good, right?

Told you.

Like...

What? I have

something on my face?

Where?

A little.

Down a little.

Up.

Up all the way.

Up a little.

Like this?

I noticed a lot of your

sketches were from here.

How'd you know

it was my favorite spot?

It is?

Good... guess, I guess.

Angie, what does Greece

make you think of?

Mythology.
