Autumn Dreams Page #4

---

You're not leaving New York City

without a wedding dress.

Now you march right back

into that dressing room.

You only get married once,

right?

Right.

Right.

It all starts with the dress.

It dictates the feeling,

the theme of the entire wedding.

I guess.

So tell me all about the groom.

How did you guys meet, how

long have you been together?

Joe, he's...

Joe is a solid guy,

he's been our right hand at the

farm ever since, well, forever.

It kinda feels like

we grew up together.

I can't believe you run

a farm.

After my dad died I had to.

But I couldn't do it

without my mom and Joe.

He's... He's

a really loyal guy.

That's what I love most

about Ben.

How honest and loyal he is.

You know what I mean?

Yep.

How are you doing in there?

No.

No.

That's the one!

Once they make the adjustments

we'll have it sent right over.

Joe is a very lucky man.

Thank you.

I think Walker is playing us.

Hello?

Earth to Ben.

Sorry.

Walker.

I was just thinking about

Jovanna and Annie.

Wondering how things are going.

That's why you're so distracted.

Yeah, my future wife is helping

my other wife

pick out a wedding gown so she

can get married to a guy

who has no idea she was ever

married to me.

What a tangled web

we weave.

I'm counting on you to

un-weave it on Monday.

What am I, new?

I got it.

Relax. It's going to be fun.

Annie, hey.

We were we were just

talking about you.

How's the shopping

expedition going?

I got a dress.

That's great.

Yeah, Jovanna was determined

to find the perfect one,

and we did.

So everything was ok?

Yeah, Ben, she's great.

I just feel badly about

deceiving her about you and me

and Tony's whole faux

license scheme.

I know what you mean, but

soon it'll all be resolved

and there will be no

more secrets to keep.

Yeah.

She's really excited

about the wedding.

Jovanna!

Hello, my love.

Do you mind if

I call you back?

My fianc just walked in.

Yeah. Yeah.

Fashionista farmer.

I'll have to surprise

you more often.

What brought that on?

Can't a guy kiss

his bride to be?

Later, lovebirds.

I got work to do.

Thank you for going

the extra mile with Annie.

Just another wonderful thing

you do.

How did it go?

We found the perfect dress.

And I learned a few things

about her, too.

Like what?

This and that.

Just girl talk.

But that's not why I came by.

That remodel I did in Chicago

just snagged the cover

of By Design magazine,

along with an eight-page spread!

That's great!

The only problem is it's not

absolutely perfect yet.

You know how I am about details.

So I'm on the next plane

to Chicago.

I'll be back in time

for the rehearsal,

I hope you don't mind.

Of course not.

Annie!

What are you doing here?

Ben was kind enough

to lend me an office

so I can get some work done.

Hey.

Listen.

I just, I really want

to say thank you

for helping me find

that dress.

I'm excited.

It was my pleasure, honestly.

Wait!

I just had a great idea.

Since you're stuck

here anyway,

why don't you come

to the rehearsal?

And the wedding?

What?

No...

Nonsense.

You and Ben are such

old friends,

I know he'd want you there.

I... don't know what to say.

Say yes.

I gotta run.

See you at the rehearsal.

Ok.

Are you ok?

I'm coming to your wedding.

What did you say?

Hey.

You just missed

your shopping BFF.

No, I didn't.

I didn't miss her and

she didn't miss me.

In fact, she insisted that

I come to the rehearsal

and the wedding.

You don't have to do that.

But she's been so nice,

I couldn't refuse.

You know, it's gonna be strange,

but I'll be fine.

You're a real trooper.

Piece of cake.

Literally.

Seven layers and counting.

Maybe you shouldn't go

to the wedding.

I'll be fine.

Let me make it up to you.

Jovanna has to go to Chicago

so I'm off wedding duty for

a couple of days.

How about after work I show

you some of my New York?

Yeah, yeah.

Take her out to dinner,

celebrate the divorce.

You've barely seen the city.

It's crazy to come to the

big apple and not take a bite.

You may not get this

chance again.

Ok.

Ok.

Hector, allow me.

Let's do some touring,

shall we?

As you wish.

This is great.

There's so many people here.

You should have been

a tour guide.

Well, we've only covered

Manhattan.

We've got four more boroughs.

I wish we had that kind of time.

Me too.

So how do you know

about this place?

Well, when I first got here

it was pretty overwhelming

so I'd find tiny, low-key

places like this

so I wouldn't feel like such

a stranger.

It looks like you fit in now.

I'm just a country boy

in a designer suit.

And a chauffeur

and over 400 people

coming to your wedding!

You know, why don't

we go uptown?

I'll show you Fifth Avenue,

and then we have

dinner reservations.

Can I be honest with you?

Fire away.

I really appreciate you showing

me all the wonderful things

that New York has to offer but

you don't have to impress me.

I'm not trying to impress you.

Well, maybe a little bit.

But it's only because the life

I'm living right now

is what I always dreamed of...

for us.

Ok, you tell me.

Where do you want to go?

How about somewhere

where I won't feel like a fool

for using the wrong fork?

I know a perfect spot.

No forks required.

Come on, let's go.

Ok.

Where to?

Hector, let's go to Brooklyn.

Yes, sir.

I'm afraid we may be lost.

We're not lost.

I used to live around here.

Fourth story walk-up,

no hot water.

It was all I could afford.

See now this is my favourite

part of the tour.

I wanted to see your New York.

Let's go check it out.

Hector, why don't you

grab something to eat?

I'll catch up with you later.

As you wish.

Walk with me?

Sure.

So this is the first place

that I landed after I arrived.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I loved it.

My landlady, Mrs. Pederson,

gave me a break on my rent,

said she believed in me.

Thought I had a future.

How right she was?

So how did you get you

from a four story walk-up

to a penthouse?

Luck.

And a little bit of talent.

Actually, it started

with your dad.

He used to have trouble with

his books and I'd help him out.

You helped my dad?

I mean, he knew his stuff,

he just wasn't great at putting

it on paper

and bottom line thinking

came easy to me.

So you... you get to New York,

and then what?

I kinda became a gopher

for a Wall Street trader

and he noticed I had a knack for

it and he became my mentor.

I'm pretty lucky.

I love what I do,

but I work so much that

sometimes I forget to slow down.

Still hungry?

As long as it's nothing fancy.

See for yourself.

I love pizza.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Can we get two cheese please?

You just wait.

It's the best?

My absolute favourite.

Your favourite?

Ok.

Hands down.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There you go.

Yum.

So this is the best pizza

you will ever have.

Really?

I promise.

Ok.

Woah, woah, wait.

This is how we do it

in Brooklyn.

Ok, you gotta bend it.

Alright.

Yeah, that's good.
