Love, Once and Always Page #8

We'll have to go on foot.

(Lucy):
Alright.

Oh, wow. We gotta hurry.

Ok, come on. Follow me.

Excuse me.

Excuse us.

Excuse me.

Oh, this is impossible.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Listen, young man, I've got

a plane waiting for me.

I just can't figure it out.

It's never happened before.

I probably just flooded

the engine.

I'll have it up and running

in no time.

Hey, Duncan, hold up.

Come here.

How much?

Ah, look at that.

Ready to go.

Unless, do you wanna

grab a bite?

I know a great

restaurant nearby.

Just drive, please.

Right.

Mr. Niven!

Do you have just a minute

or two?

Look, I appreciate your efforts

but you need to understand that

I'm not in the habit of

reconsidering an offer

I've already turned down.

Right, but we're not talking

about a purchase anymore,

we're talking about a small

seed investment.

Less risk for you,

much more return.

Now, you told us that your heart

said yes

but the numbers said no,

right?

Well, now I think you'll find

the numbers say yes.

I was able to re-work

some of the renovation costs

and save us some money so

after an initial investment

we can renovate as we go

funded solely by profits.

It's all in here.

I'll look at it on the plane.

But even assuming your numbers

add up why would

I want to invest in

a historical resort?

For a reason you can't

put a price on.

Preserving your legacy.

You're a grandfather, right?

Ok, well how do you want

your grandkids

to remember their grandpa?

As the generous man who

put them through college.

[laughs]

My aunt used to tell me stories

about another generous man.

A railroad baron named

Henry Wycliff

who was a very wealthy man

but he also wanted everyone

around him

to live rich lives, too.

He built this whole town.

Its parks, its library.

His spirit is everywhere here.

You can see for yourself.

It's all in here.

People still remember

his generosity

and if you have the vision

to help preserve his legacy

then maybe in 100 years

from now

people will be remembering you

with the same fondness.

That's the great thing

about history.

It lasts forever.

I'll be in touch.

Let's go.

I just got off the phone

with Hannah.

I think you may have

just sold him on it.

Well, convincing donors

was my job.

Was?

I realized something.

My future isn't in some office

five stories above

the exhibits I love

doing spreadsheets.

My future is here.

So you'll stay?

This is where I belong.

My home is here

and so is my heart.

Great, thank you.

[sighs]

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

So how does it feel to have

your architectural office

in your own house?

My house?

Wait a second,

I thought this was your house.

[laughs]

It's our house.

It's our house.
