Coffee Shop Page #6

---

Why not?

Definitely Fall tone.

Yeah.

Same as the new orange.

Hi.

Good morning.

How was dinner?

It was good.

Very good.

Can I get you your usual?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, it's nice to have the usual.

It sounds good. thank you.

Uh, I, I brought you something.

You did?

It's, it's nothing big.

But,...

Seems like,

you're the only one around here

who doesn't have

a mug of your own.

I don't really know what I "do"

or "don't" have anymore.

Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Good morning.

Are you ready?

- Completely.

- All right.

I trust Patrick'd filled you in

on the details?

Um, no, he hasn't.

Not exactly.

I wanted to surprise her.

Well, without Patrick here,

this could have gone

in very different direction.

I'm so glad we can solve this quickly.

I know.

He was kind enough

to get involve on my behalf. I...

I don't know how I'll ever repay him.

Well, that's the beauty of it.

You don't have to repay

anyone anymore.

Sorry, this doesn't seem real.

Well, I assure you it is

as soon as you sign these.

I'm sorry, who's,

who's this Thomas Kimbell? His...

name's...

- wow, everywhere on these...

- He's, he's my client.

He's the buyer, Donavan.

What?

He was looking for

some investments to put quickly,

So, I convinced him

to buy your property.

And he got you a very handsome profit.

If it wasn't for Patrick here,

you could have ended up empty handed.

I have to say, your boyfriend

certainly lives up to his

real estate guru reputation.

Just what exactly does this Thomas Kimbell

plan on flipping my coffee shop into?

- Does it matter?

- It does to me.

It does to me.

You know, uh...

crowding is a serious issue here

when beach season picks up?

Just say it.

I told him the town can use

an extra parking garage.

- He's buying the building next door also.

- Of what?

Yes. A solid deal...

Donavan!

She, she does this sometimes.

Um...

She'll come around.

She just needs some time to think it over.

Quickly, I hope.

I could have gotten here sooner,

but I don't run as fast as you.

You didn't have to follow me.

I felt like I did.

Have you ever wondered why

it always seems like

they're building another

parking garage?

I've never liked them.

They're...

cold and impersonal.

No-one cares who you are or...

why or how you got there.

They don't care how long you stay

or if you'll ever come back.

In fact, two minutes after you leave,

you just got replaced.

I, I guess, I never have

thought of it that way.

When I opened my coffee shop,

I vowed I would never treat people

like they wee disposable.

Now, I am the one

who is disposable.

No, Donavan, you're not.

I am not sure,

I've ever met anyone who's loved

by so many people

for the right reason as you.

You know, I bought my coffee shop

just before it was torn down.

I've worked so hard

to transform it in to what it is now.

I wanted it to be a place where

friends could go and talk and laugh.

I honestly thought that

it was I was meant to do.

And you did that.

That coffee shop has

a way of changing people.

It changed me.

You know, you, you did something

that so few people do anymore.

You did something,

because you believed in it.

But now, they just want

to tear it down again.

I failed.

No, you didn't fail.

Failing would have been

if you hadn't tried at all.

Oh, I feel like such a fool.

Well, you shouldn't.

But, I know that feeling too.

I doubt that.

Go ahead and google

the review of my last two plays.

But, if hadn't said those things,...

I never would have come here.

And met you.

God really does work

in mysterious ways.

I know it...

doesn't feel like it,

but...

I've watched you and

you're gonna be okay.

I'll leave you alone.

Let you figure this out.

Thank you.

I, I'm, I'm glad that critics

didn't like your two last plays.

That's what brought you here.

Me too.

Donavan, are you okay?

You sounded so upset

on the phone.

Yeah, I've never seen her

pedal that fast... Ever.

Patrick was just trying to help you.

I know,

but just thought that if I...

He had a different idea.

It doesn't make him a bad guy.

He does love you and...

He wants a future with you.

It's just a different one.

Are you really gonna let the parking

garage change everything?

But, it does change everything, Becky.

Does it really?

I mean, either way,

you're gonna loose the coffee shop.

He loves you.

Are you okay?

I will be.

Yeah.

I knew, you just needed

some time to think about it.

I didn't take the deal, Patrick.

I told Frank that I'd go ahead

with the foreclosure

and not fight with him

if he could...

find the buyer who wouldn't

destroy the building,

and use it for something positive.

It's just a building, Donavan.

Not to me.

I don't understand.

My plan made perfect sense.

Yeah...

It did.

On paper.

Letting it all go is gonna be hard,

but, it's the right decision.

For me.

You're talking about more than

just the coffee shop, aren't you?

I guess so.

Yeah.

Yesterday, Becky told me

about you love me.

I do.

I know that you think that you do.

But...

this all made me realize something

that I believe deep down

I've always known.

That's why I was able

to let you go before.

This is just the first time

I've been able to put into words, okay?

You love...

who you wish I was.

- Hello.

- Hey, kid, you're back.

No, I'm still here.

No, no. I read, I read the draft

of the new play you send me.

And you're back. It's gonna be a hit.

I knew, I knew you had it in you.

Yeah, I guess I had. I guess

I just needed the right inspiration.

Well, it's a crazy world

you landed down there

You're suddenly surrounded

by some interesting characters.

Hey,...

you made me a happy man, Ben,

a very very happy man.

That makes two of us.

It is so unfair.

For once, I agree with him.

I tried everything that I could.

But at the end,

there was no way to keep it open.

I'm sorry.

We got to do something.

Yeah, we do.

Now, you look here, darling.

You know what they say:

It's not what they take away

from you that counts.

It's what you do

with what you have left.

Thank you, Max.

But, I don't...

Hi.

Hi.

Can we talk for a minute?

No, actually, I'm gonna require

a bit more time than that.

Can you and Eli manage it

without Donavan for today?

I think we manage it just fine.

Good.

It setlles then.

Wait. What, what settles?

What's going on?

Our first date that

started about a minute ago.

We don't wanna be late.

I'm not dressed for a...

Where are we going?

You're perfect just how you are.

Shall we?

Text Kevin, and make sure

he has her back by seven.

We got a lot to do.

We better move fast.

Yeah.

Is this really necessary?

I know this entire town, I don't see

how you could possibly surprise me?

I'm a writer.

I specialize in the unexpected.

Huh?

You sail?

Not at all. Never been on the boat.

But, he can sail.

Hi.

See?

Unexpected.

Thank you.

It's amazing.

Isn't it beautiful?

Breathtaking.
