A Harvest Wedding Page #6

---

You surprised me.

No.

Hold on. I'll be right back.

Hey, what's wrong?

The wedding's off.

I mean, I answered

his question, that's it.

Ok.

And I told him.

I said that things

are moving fast

because, hello,

they're moving fast.

Very fast.

I didn't mean anything.

I told him the truth.

What was I supposed to do?

Lie to him?

Of course I don't want her

to lie to me.

Of course.

But when she tells me

it's going fast,

how am I supposed

to interpret that?

Maybe the way

she meant it?

I'm sorry.

There's just so much going

on right now

with his deployment coming up

and with all of these last

minute changes with the wedding,

which I love by the way.

Then you know what he does?

He freaks out.

He totally freaks out.

I did not freak out.

I was very calm and I just asked

her if maybe we should wait.

And then he starts grilling

me with all of these questions,

asking if this is what

I really want,

if this is right,

if we're right.

I mean, of course

we're right.

I knew we were right before

he knew we were right.

I mean, don't I have a right

to know?

Yeah, of course you do.

But you're a dope

because you already knew.

Have a seat, brother.

Have a seat, Abby.

What am I gonna do?

Abby, you're not

gonna do anything.

Sweetie, these are just jitters.

They're like the little hiccups

of weddings.

In fact, I would be worried

if one of you didn't have them.

Really?

Yes.

You know, you've been going

a million miles per hour.

I bet your head feels like

it's spinning out of control.

Falling in love?

You know, that's...

that's the easy part.

But figuring out how

to make it all work?

That's the hard part.

When you find somebody

who believes in what you two

can be together?

That's the magic.

And you don't wanna

let that go.

You got this.

I am selfish and self-centered.

And a dope.

And a dope, and I am just

so sorry, baby.

All I wanna say to you is that

you knew we were right

before I knew we were right.

Mission accomplished.

Yeah, I'd say so.

By the way I'm definitely

gonna get that tractor running.

You know what?

I was thinking about that

and since we changed

the theme of the wedding

it actually kinda works.

I say leave it.

I like it.

Are you kidding me?

What about the bet?

I was gonna get

the tractor running.

Well, in that case

I'll just assume you did.

So I win the bet.

And a home-cooked meal.

See ya later tonight.

Yep.

You didn't win though.

I let you win.

What was that?

You just made a face.

What? I didn't make a face.

Yeah you did,

I just saw you.

Ok fine, maybe I made

a little bit of a face

but that's just, you know,

because your soup is

so, exciting tasting.

Exciting tasting?

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry,

but you know what?

I happen to be a city girl.

I don't really cook for myself.

Is that because you wanna live?

That's not nice.

It may be a little bit true

but it's not nice.

Hey, cheers.

What're we cheering to?

We're cheering to you,

actually pulling off

this wedding.

No!

No, no, no, no, no.

Don't do that.

You just jinxed me.

See, if there's one thing

that I've learned

is even with all the planning

in the world

life still throws little

surprises at you.

Yeah.

Yeah, tell me about it.

You know what?

There was something I wanted

to talk to you about.

You know, while I was making

your very exciting tasting soup,

I ran across more of this.

You got a lot of them

in there.

Alright? So you're stuck

with me.

What is it? Tell me.

This is bonding insulator.

Bonding insulator?

Ok.

What is bonding insulator?

Well, this is basically

organic tar.

You can put it on your roof,

you can put it on a road,

but you know, the really

cool thing about this is,

if it works, is that you can

actually grow things in it.

When did you get in to

agricultural chemistry?

I picked up a few things

here and there.

But I'm also working with a

professor over at the college.

Ok. Alright, hold on.

So let me get this straight.

If this works you can basically

grow anything anywhere?

Theoretically.

But right now we're just

playing around with this.

This is just fun, you know?

It's like we're wrestling

with mother nature.

Ok, but what do you plan on

doing with it?

Have you talked

to any investors?

No. No, I don't-I don't have

time for any of that.

Well, David, if it's something

you believe in

then you make time.

Do you know how many years

that would take?

Really, there would be testing

and then years with the FDA.

No, no, no.

David. David.

How do you expect to know

what's possible

if you don't even try?

Wait.

What's wrong?

I just...

I thought that you...

I...

You know what? Maybe I...

Maybe I should go.

What-what's going on here?

Nothing.

Do you wanna go right now?

Well, I just have

a lot of work to do.

No. Sarah.

I... I need to go.

Hey.

You're back early.

Dinner wasn't good?

No.

I mean yeah, no, dinner...

dinner was fine.

Did, Collin Shaw

send over a menu?

He did.

Ok, good.

I wanna check

the place settings

for each one of the tables

and, the...

Sarah?

Are you ok, honey?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you-what

are you doing here?

I... I was wondering if

I could coax you out

for a quick nightcap.

I was hoping we could go over

a few more details

about the article.

My editor is really hoping

to see a few pages tomorrow

and I was just... I don't

know, I was thinking

if I showed up I might be able

to twist your arm.

Please?

You'd really be

helping me out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ok.

It won't be long, I promise.

I'll be back.

So the couple's

on the dance floor

and they're dancing, right?

But when the groom spins her

she totally loses control

and she goes sailing

right into the pool!

Hang on, you didn't plan

that wedding, did you?

No, no.

I didn't plan that wedding.

Peyton, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm horrible company.

It was actually a really

funny story I just... you know,

I got this wedding coming up

but my head's kind of

everywhere right now.

I shouldn't have asked you

out tonight.

No.

No, if it's for the article

I wanna help.

What?

Look, I didn't expect this,

but...

What? What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing's wrong,

I just... I've just really had

a great time being here,

getting to know you.

Me too.

And I'm really liking

the article but...

I've also realized that

I'm really liking you, too.

I think you and I could

really hit it off.

We have so much in common.

Our work, we're both

career-oriented people,

big dreamers.

We both love New York.

And we've had so much fun

these last couple of weeks,

haven't we?

Yeah.

Yeah, we have, Peyton.

But it...

I know, I know,

the wedding, I know.

My timing couldn't be worse,

but I don't know,

when we're back in the city

maybe we could...

we could go out sometime.

You know, will you just

excuse me for one second?

Sure.

Is everything alright?

Yeah, everything's fine,

I just have to use the ladies

room, that's all.
