After the Reality Page #5

and, and sorting so thoroughly?

To sell it on ebay?

Yeah!

Okay.

Look, if you want to help, I'll

show you the system.

How much you get for that?

Cheese!

Chickie! I thought you were

lost to the ages. Get over here.

Aw! Welcome home Chickie!

Capture this moment.

It smells.

- Oh man, I-I'm gonna keep this photo.

That cool? Yeah.

I don't have anything from

dad's single years.

Kinda wonder what he was like.

Look at this.

Who's that he's with? It

doesn't look like mom.

- Elmer Severson's daughter.

- What are you talking about?

I should probably keep these

encyclopedias.

I think someone pawned half of

those.

These used to be in dad's office, you know?

I'm sure I'll find a use.

Maybe a couple of

those plaques for my office.

That's kind of cool.

Kate, what are you doing?

That's so much stuff!

Yeah, I know. I just, I like

the way they look, and I mean,

I think these were actually a wedding

present from grandma to mom and dad.

Pretty unique to the 70's.

I'm kind of thinking of having a fondue

party anyway, so might as well use these.

I just keep thinking

about the Nevers.

How he'll never walk me down

the aisle.

Never send me another one

sentence birthday card.

Never meet his grandkids.

That was gonna be his second

act, you know?

He'd of done it differently.

He'd have been a sweetheart.

Maybe.

Just stop. Y-you're driving

yourself crazy.

It's amazing how you're just

like him.

Standing there.

Just terrorized by someone

who just needs a hug.

Okay, I, um,

I-i-i gotta get this.

Kelly!

I just need to talk to you!

Can you just give me a chance?

I'm gonna go to bed.

Fitz isn't back yet, but

I'm exhausted.

Okay.

So we've got that meeting in

the morning.

I'll be up.

Okay. Well, night.

Anita Severson.

"Dear sweet Anita, I miss you

like no one I've ever missed.

My heart is crushed, reduced to

driftwood on a lonely, deserted island.

Please reconsider. I love you,

Randy"

please reconsider. I love you,

Randy"

I've said it from the beginning,

I'm not here to make friends.

Loneliness is the true

cowboy's companion.

I'm myself around Kelly, and

that's all that matters.

At least I wasn't writing plagiarized

poetry like Walt dunkin Whitman!

The guy thinks that he stepped right

out of a romance novel or something.

You know what I mean?

Reg and Garreth started insinuating

that I wasn't being truthful.

Please. I mean, Kelly's

amazing, right?

And these guys

were just feeling like

time's winged chariot hurrying

near.

Their days were numbered.

Dunkin says he's from Georgia.

I've never heard anybody from

Georgia sound like that,

"time's winged chariot hurrying

near."

This is a once in a lifetime

opportunity to find that great love.

It's just working out

beyond my wildest dreams.

The last three guys are amazing.

Of course, I have my favorite, but

we'll just have to wait and see.

I mean there we are. Three

of us left.

The vultures were circling.

Started to feel a lil bit like

death valley, know what I mean?

I'm not saying that these two

suitors aren't fine gents.

I'm merely suggesting that a man with a horse

and stable can buy his little girl a pony.

- A dog and pony show.

- I mean, who is this guy?

You guys are, you're ridiculous.

I mean, I'm just looking to provide my

daughter with the stable of a loving family.

- Is that so, reg?

- Yeah!

Oh sh-t.

- That's Scottie.

- What? Oh my god!

My stomach was in my throat, and my

heart was pounding out of my chest.

Oh my god, he came back. Watch yourself.

Compose yourself. Compose yourself.

He's not in the show. What's

he doing here? It was crazy.

- How you been, man? You look good.

- Hanging in there, thanks.

Hey man, why don't you hop

in? The water's warm.

Kelly, can, uh, can we talk?

- Um, sure.

Just the dudes.

You guys wanna...

- no. I don't want anything with you.

- All right.

I've never lost somebody, and then

had them come wandering back to me.

That was kind of strange.

I've been thinking about you a

lot for the past few weeks.

I've been thinking about you a

lot too.

I was at the funeral just

staring at him.

This man I never really knew.

N-never showed any love to.

This man I would always

disappoint.

Oh, you can't do that to

yourself.

I just kept thinking, what if I

just could've gone back in time?

Done it differently?

Shown him that I could do

it right?

So, I wanna do it right with

you. Give me back my buckle.

- Please.

- Scottie, don't do this.

You don't want to be here.

- You want to go get better.

- Look, forget about the damn show.

- Scottie!

- Let go of her!

This doesn't concern you, man.

- Yeah, it does, buck-o.

Do you wanna be with this guy?

I mean seriously, this is

what you're gonna choose?

Hey, will you guys just stop? All of you,

just stop please, and just let me be alone!

Why did you have to come here

and mess everything up?

What the hell are you thinking?

You're not even

supposed to be here.

This is awful.

My heart. I know my

heart. It's so confused.

I was just there in the heat of the moment

with Scottie and his beautiful eyes.

You know? Those eyes

are in my dreams.

I have to just focus on these

other three awesome guys, right?

I need to give them my love.

I feel like a, a little girl

trapped in some Grimm fairy tale.

I'm terrible at this.

Scottie? Scottie?

Scottie, we gotta go. Are you up?

- Sh*t.

Scottie, seriously we gotta go in

five minutes, okay? Coming, okay?

Scottie, seriously we gotta go in

five minutes, okay? Coming, okay?

"My dear sweet Kelly, I miss you like no

other. Please reconsider. I love you."

"My dear sweet Kelly, I miss you like no

other. Please reconsider. I love you."

Wait, are you leaving right

after the meeting?

Yeah, I thought maybe you could

drop me off from the car.

What? Fitz and the team can,

you know,

take the u-haul, and drop

everything off at the storage unit.

I'll come back in a couple

of weeks and pick up my stuff.

Yeah, great.

I'll pay for the team's time.

Of course.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, all good.

Oh.

You know, I've, uh, called the

realtors and they've told me that

th-the new owners are very happy with the

way the escrow has gone so smoothly.

We've moved everything out of

the cabin, the personal items,

and just cleaned up the place

a bit.

Yeah, the new owners are really

gonna love the new paint job.

Brought in some Ace painters.

That's terrific. You guys really go

above and beyond. That's wonderful.

So, I just need your

signatures, uh, here and here.

All right.

So, you know, your

father and I, we go way back.

I was actually at your parent's

wedding if you can believe that.

You know, it speaks to his loyalty that

here we are, taking care of his estate.

So, there isn't much

more to go over.

Great. So, if that's it, we

should get going.

Well, actually, uh,

there is something else.

After all the back taxes and the fees

have been paid off on this cabin,
