How many do we
have to meet today?

We have five today.

But I promise not to drag
out the interviews, okay?

Mr. Garrett?

Jackie, please.

So, based on your resume,

you've done this for quite
a while, being a nanny.

I've worked with
children from 25 families.

Wow, that's a lot.

I'm sure you have
many stories to tell.

I guard my clients' privacy.

Uh, okay.

Good.

Tell me about your schedule.

I have the whole summer open.

The fall too.

Really, anytime.

I haven't worked in a
while, so I'm all yours.

Do you have a valid passport?

No, it got taken away.

But I can get my hands on one.

It might take a few days though.

So let's talk about your
other work experience.

Looks like you substitute teach?

Among other things
you have listed?

Yes, I do a little bit of
this and a little bit of that.

Anything to help pay the bills.

Is there any way I
could get an advance

on what I'd be earning?

So how about I
tell you about Macey?

Oh, I love that name!

My friend has a cat named Macey.

Here.

I have a photo,
cutest thing ever.

If I can just find my phone.

I'd lose my head if it
wasn't, you know, connected.

Listen, we've interviewed
a lot of people.

How about we get back to you?

Oh, great, okay.

It was good meeting you.

And you.

And you, Mary!

Oh, your keys.

I told you.

Talk to you soon.

That's a no for me.

Me too.

Another year over.

Yep.

Are you relieved?

This group of
kids were so sweet.

I'm gonna miss them.

Yeah, you say that every year.

And then you worry
what your next group

of fourth graders will be like.

Everyone has new
school year jitters.

Well, you can put
that behind you.

So, what do you have
planned this summer?

Oh, that trip with your
old college friends?

No, actually.

Half of them had other plans
come up, so we're postponing.

Maybe we can go over
Thanksgiving or something.

I'm sorry, Amber.

I know you were looking
forward to that.

Well, if you want to get away,

Rob and I were talking about you

as a potential summer
tutor for someone we know.

Really?

Who?

So it's Rob's boss's son.

He's traveling overseas

and needs someone to
help with his daughter.

Huh.

Well, I've never taught
outside the classroom.

How hard can it be?

I think his daughter
is like 10 years old.

That's still fourth
grade, right?

Yeah.

I guess he's had a hard
time finding someone.

Not the right fit type of thing.

Rob heard he's interviewed
like 15 people already.

Sounds like he's picky.

It's his child.

I can't blame him.

Hey, maybe you'd
set him at ease,

since there's a connection.

Yeah, I'm his dad's
employee's wife's sister.

Instant connection.

Okay, well, it's
better than nothing.

I don't know.

I'm in a career where
it's perfectly acceptable

to take the whole summer off.

It's the one perk.

The trip is to
Aruba or Antigua?

I don't know, some island
that begins with an A.

Sounds like a fun perk to me.

Want me to set up a meeting?

Sure.

Cut that for you?

No, you'll steal a bite.

I wouldn't do that.

Excuse me, are
you Mr. Garrett?

You can call me Connor.

This is Macey.

Hi, I'm Amber.

- Hi!
- Have a seat.

Can I get you anything?

No, thank you though.

So I've heard a lot
about you from my father,

or I guess maybe your brother?

Brother-in-law, yeah.

So do you teach fourth grade?

Yes, I do.

What grade are you in, Macey?

I'll be in fifth grade.

Oh, that will be exciting.

Do you teach at
Oak Lake Elementary?

No, at Parrish Heights,
it's about 30 minutes away.

I wasn't sure if you'd
want this, resume.

Oh, thanks.

So I have to be in Aruba
for a couple of months.

I thought with it being
summer, I'd take Macey with me.

I just need someone to look
after her while I'm at work.

Oh, I thought you were
looking for a tutor.

Oh, that too.

I mean, I want Macey to learn
something over the summer,

you know, keep her
schooling fresh,

make sure she's not
watching TV all day.

I just don't have any
experience as a nanny.

I really am a teacher.

Is that okay?

- Um.
- What's your favorite animal?

Macey.

Turtle.

What's yours?

Penguin.

Nice choice.

Are you excited to go to Aruba?

Yep.

I get to go on one
of Daddy's trips.

That's cool.

You travel a lot then?

A few times a year,
usually short trips.

Normally, my parents watch Macey

but I didn't want to be
away from her that long.

So I've never hired
anybody to do this before.

What do you do for work?

I work for a
wind power company.

Yeah, we're looking

to expand the wind power
capabilities in Aruba.

That sounds interesting.

I'm not exactly
sure about that

but it gets me to Aruba, right?

So we booked a rental
home for our time there,

so you'd get a room of your own.

And I haven't looked into
what there is to do in Aruba,

but I'm sure there's
good options for Macey

to keep her occupied
while I'm at work.

Yeah, certainly.

Well, we leave
early next week.

If we move forward with this,
would that work for you?

Probably.

I'd need to figure out
a few things still.

Okay.

Well, let's sleep on it and
then we'll talk tomorrow.

Yeah, sounds good.

Thank you.

Okay.

Call me if you
have any questions.

I will.

Nice to meet you, Macey.

See you later.

What do you think?

Yeah?

Yeah.

So the principal
from the school called today.

Oh?

They got a call for a
reference from Connor Garrett.

They thought I was quitting.

Well, that's good.

That means he's considering you.

Yeah, I just wasn't
expecting that, you know?

It seems more official.

Of course he's going to
check up on you though.

What did you think of
him and his daughter?

They seem fine.

And she's a fun
girl, I can tell.

Is there no mother to help?

Rob's under the
impression they split up.

Did he...

Connor, right?

Did he not say?

No.

So are you going to take it?

I want to, but...

I'm used to having
kids during the day

and then having a break.

I'm not sure what to expect.

You think she'll be a handful?

No, it's just, it's new.

And what about you?

If I'm gone...

I'll be fine.

I'll swing by your
place, pick up your mail,

and make sure
everything is okay.

That's not what I meant.

I want to be here
for you and the baby.

Well, you can fly
home for a couple days.

I'll have Rob,
and Rob's parents,

and Dad will be around too.

Come on.

This could be a new
experience for you.

A chance to, you
know, see the world,

do something different, get
away from the normal routine.

It's not like you want to be
stuck around here all summer.

You do want to go, right?

Yeah, I do.

But I shouldn't get
my hopes up, you know?

He hasn't even called and...

Is that him?

Fingers crossed!

Hello, this is Amber.

Hi, yeah, good to hear from you.

Oh, thank you, yeah,
that's wonderful.

I'd love to go.

Here we are!

You said it has a pool, right?

Two pools, actually.

Wow!

So what do you think?

It's awesome!

Dad, check out the backyard.

Whoa, this is so cool!

It is cool.

Keep going.

There should be a...

Yeah, over here.

Look.

Wow!

You know what, there's
also this huge public beach

just minutes from here.

- Cool!
- Yeah.

Can I go check it out?

Yeah, go ahead.

Hello, anyone here?

Tony!

What's up, buddy?

Hey, it's good to see you.

You too, brother.

How was your flight?

Oh, well, I'll tell you,
I'll sleep well tonight.

I said that a month ago.

All right.

Oh, Shauna sent some groceries

so you guys don't have
to starve tonight.

How nice is that?

You thank her for me, would you?

No problem.

Hi, Tony.

Hello, Macey.

Are you ready for
an awesome summer?

- Yep.
- Me too.

Amber, this is Tony.

Tony comes ahead to
start the projects.

I didn't know you were dating.

Oh, no, no, this is Amber.

She's just here to watch
Macey while I'm working.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Well, I'll leave you all to it.

Shauna and I are only
five minutes away,

so call if you need anything.

- Thanks.
- Cool, thank you.

Okay, pick you up
for work tomorrow?

- I'll be ready.
- All right.

I'm going to go swimming!

Whee!

Hey, Macey?

Dinner in a little
bit, 'kay, kiddo?

Okay.

Hi.

Oh, sorry, I was just...

Is this okay for dinner?

Or I could get myself takeout?

No, no, please, eat with us.

Uh...

Like I told you, I've
never done this before,

so why don't we just
do it family style?

Everything that's
here is for us all.

Um, I'm not much of a cook

but I'm more than happy to
help with the meal-making.

Me too.

Okay, so why don't we just...

Take turns?

Perfect.

Okay.

Right.

Can we go to that
big beach tomorrow?

I have to work, kiddo.

But I bet Amber has
some plans for you.

There will be lots of
chances for the beach

but I've got some
other ideas first.

All right.

Is there a way you prefer
we get around the island?

Um, yeah, just
take the rental car.

Tony's gonna be picking me
up most days anyway, so...

Okay, thanks.

Yeah.

I'm going to go
back to the pool.

Uh-uh-uh.

Plate to the sink, and
then go get ready for bed.

Really?

Yes.

Fine.

Okay, well, I think
I'm going to go clean up.

Oh, sorry.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

That's okay, I was
just doing some...

Work?

Yeah.

Have you always worked
in the energy industry?

Sort of.

Sort of how?

Solar.

Oh.

You must know a lot

about all these
alternative energy things.

Yeah.

How long ago did you
change to wind energy?

It's been a while,
several years.

Well, I'm gonna turn in.

Night.

Night.

Hi, Dad.

Oh, there you
are, good morning.

Glad you're awake, I
didn't have to wake you.

Okay, listen to me.

I have to leave, all right,
but I will be back tonight.

I want you to have
fun and be careful.

Listen to Amber, okay?

All right.

Good morning.

Call me if you have any
questions, all right?

And I was wondering if you
might be able to text me

so I know where Macey is?

Will do.

Maybe you could put
together like a schedule

so I kind of know where
she's always at, okay?

Sure.

Have a good day.

Okay.

Oh, uh, love you.

- Bye, Dad.
- Bye, see you, bye.

Want some breakfast?

Sure.

Well, we have a
lot to do today.

Do we have to do homework?

How about we
don't call it that?

But that's what it is.

It'll be different, I promise.

Wanna know why?

Why?

Because the whole island is
our classroom and playground.

So we'll have a lot of fun,

and just happen to learn
some stuff along the way.

Sound good?

I guess.

And I promise no intentional
learning on the weekends.

Okay.

Well, what do you think?

Well, there's plenty
of room for more.

How many more sites do we
have on the short list?

There's three, but
this one has the benefit

of preexisting infrastructure.

Yeah.

You have the wind
readings for here?

Yeah.

There you go.

So how's Amber working out?

Good.

Strange.

Really?

She seemed normal enough to me.

No, not her, just
her being around.

I don't know,

I didn't think about her being
under the same roof as me.

Ah, a woman in the house.

Yeah.

This morning she said
"Have a good day!"

I had these flashbacks
of married life.

You didn't do the
automatic kiss thing

when she said it, did you?

Okay.

Just make sure you're dressed
when you leave your room.

Yeah, right.

You'll get used to it.

Ready for the next site?

- Yeah, let's go.
- All right.

Is this like a zoo?

Sort of.

All the animals
here are rescued.

Like a shelter?

Exactly.

What kind of
shelter has donkeys?

Here,
feed him a carrot.

The donkeys were brought here
by the Spanish centuries ago.

So now there's wild
donkeys on the loose,

and some in
sanctuaries like this.

Cool.

Can you take a picture
of me so my dad can see?

Good idea.

Say cheese.

Cheese!

Oh my gosh, look at 'em.

The baby baby ones
to come over here.

I like the little baby ones.

Hey!

Wow, this little guy's hungry.

- They're so cute.
- I know.

I love 'em.

I like how their little
hands wrap around.

Oh my gosh!

Look at these over here.

Here, see if this
one will take it.

He's coming.

Go a little bit closer.

Look at him.

Oh my gosh!

Look at those.

Look at that!

Do you think camels
like carrots?

I don't know, let's find out.

Will you try it first?

Sure.

You want to try?

Yeah.

It's slobbery.

We'll just wash our
hands after we're done.

That's a nice bracelet.

My dad gave it to me.

He got it on a trip to Ireland.

Wow, Ireland?

Yeah, he went there for work.

He says it's for luck.

And it's my favorite color.

Green's my favorite too.

Does he always bring you
back things from his trips?

Not really.

I guess he just wanted to
get it because my mom left.

Oh.

Well, that was nice of him.

So there are wild
donkeys now on the island.

I wonder if we'll see one.

Maybe.

What else did you see?

Camels, and goats,
and these cute ones

that kept crying at
us to give them food.

And sheep and monkeys
and even cows,

but they didn't do much.

Well, it sounds like
you had a fun day.

Yep, we did.

Can we go to the big
beach this weekend?

Sure.

Yes!

Is Amber coming?

Oh, I'm sure she has
other things to do.

Anyway, we should get
you some sunscreen.

I put some in my bag.

You sure?

I'll go check.

So what do you have
planned for Macey this week?

Some more exploring.

There's a cave I
think would be neat.

Is she claustrophobic?

No, but I don't think she'd
be thrilled with the dark.

This one has a
light source in it.

She'd be fine then.

Good.

Here.

Thanks.

Sorry.

Here.

Thank you.

I think it's empty.

It is?

Well, then maybe a trip
to the store is in order

because I forgot to pack any.

Dad, did you not
want Amber to come?

What do you mean?

Today, with us?

No, she could've come.

But maybe we should
just give her a chance

to do some other
things, you know?

Like you for work?

No, like give her a break.

She watches you when I
can't, and today I can.

So maybe we should
give her a chance

to do something of
her choice, you know.

You don't think she
wanted to come to the beach?

I don't know.

There'll be other chances.

Besides, I think
it's a good idea

that you and I spend some time
together, don't you think?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

All right, kiddo, go get
showered and changed.

I'm starving.

I know, and the
faster you shower,

the faster you can eat, okay?

Take that for me?

Okay.

Hi.

Sorry.

Hi.

How was the beach?

It was good.

Macey's hungry.

I was gonna make dinner
unless you already did.

No, but there's some chicken
defrosting in the fridge.

Okay.

And there's some broccoli too.

All right.

Hello?

Um, hold on.

Tony.

Oh, Shauna.

Connor, it's good to see you.

Good to see you.

How are you?
- Good.

We're here to take you out.

Show you and Macey
some good dinner spots.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

And yet, we're going.

All right, well,
let me go change.

Oh, you're good.

This is Aruba, you're
fine as you are.

Oh, hey, Amber.

Come meet my wife, Shauna.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Hi.

You'll be joining us
for dinner, won't you?

Yes, please do.

No, Amber's got some things-

Amber's going to be taking
care of Macey all week.

She could use a good meal
prepared by someone else, right?

Sure, I'd like that.

I think we're
at a 50-50 chance

that they'll approve more
turbines on the island.

We've gotta
do better than that.

No, I'm just saying,
they know the drawbacks.

Yeah, but they know the
benefits, that's the thing.

Well, at least
the food was good,

even if the company isn't.

Oh, hey now.

Macey and Amber didn't
agree to a business meeting.

It's fine.

How much power does
wind provide here?

Less than 15% of the
total energy usage.

Aruba has constant winds,

which make it an
easy power source.

Of course it would be better
if we provide at least 25%

or more of the needed power.

So what's the issue?

Well, these turbines
aren't exactly cheap.

And while they provide
a lot of energy,

nobody has really come up

with an aesthetically
pleasing design.

Oh.

But they already have them here?

Yeah, you should
see them sometime.

They're huge, like,
what, 80 meters tall?

Yeah, they
definitely stand out,

and not in a good way for some.

But that's the plus of
some of the other sites.

It's places that nobody goes.

Yet.

Can I go down and
play at the beach?

Uh, yeah.

Stay, I'll go with her.

I don't blame you at
all for running away

from all that work talk.

Oh, no, that's not
what I was doing.

I'm teasing.

You must know
a lot about this.

More than I would like.

But it brought me here.

Well, I guess I
should thank Macey.

You know, it gave me
a chance to tag along.

I'm glad you're here for her.

She needs a woman in her life.

I think she was
lonely back home.

It's been awhile.

Has it?

Connor didn't
tell you anything?

Not really.

Hmm.

Connor's ex-wife hurt him bad.

Well, hurt both of them,
with the way that she left.

I think it's good
for them to be away.

You know, it keeps their mind
off her for a little while.

Hi, Candice.

Wow, you get a
lot of junk mail.

Oh, yes.

How's Aruba?

Pretty good.

What?

It's a tropical island.

Actually, it's
a desert island.

Don't use that
teacher voice on me.

Guilty.

Seriously though, how is it?

Well, the island is fine,

but the job kinda takes
some getting used to.

The girl?

No, more her dad.

It's awkward, and
I can't figure out

if it's something I'm doing
that's making him uncomfortable

or if he's just wanting to
keep me at arms-length, like...

Like what?

Like hired help?

I don't know.

I guess I just didn't
think this through.

It's not just teaching
Macey and watching her,

but I'm living in a
house with strangers.

And I think there are some
issues he's still trying

to work out from his divorce.

Yeah, I bet.

Maybe he's intimidated by you.

Yeah, right.

I'm serious.

Beautiful women can make
some men be absolute klutzes.

Thank you, but I
doubt that's the reason.

You never know.

Either way, just
give it some time.

And speak up.

You don't just have
to grin and bear it.

So how are things there?

Did you have your
checkup at the doctor?

Is it dark in there?

Not completely.

It'll be fine, I promise.

What is this place?

It's a natural cave.

How?

Water.

Underground rivers
carve at the rock

until it opens up into
something like this.

Wow.

How does the light get in?

Maybe the same way.

Water can do all that?

Yes.

And other natural influences.

Do you know what
those are called?

Stamites?

Stalagmites.

They're formed by drops
of water and minerals.

They're the ones that
come from the ground up.

What about these?

If they come from the ceiling,
they're called stalactites.

Want a cool way to
remember their names?

Stalagmites push up
with all their might.

Stalactites hold on tight.

Let's get a picture
for your dad.

Cheese!

Stalactite!

What are you drawing?

The cave.

I think my stalactites
look like teeth.

Oh no.

What?

My bracelet's gone.

Okay, when did
you have it on last?

Today, but I'm not sure.

You go check your room,
I'll go check the car, okay?

Anything?

No, sorry.

Did you go by the
pool when we got home?

No.

It must have fallen
off at the cave.

Can we go back there?

How about tomorrow?

Your dad is going
to be home soon.

But what if someone
takes it, or steps on it?

We'll go look
for it, I promise.

Let's just wait for
your dad to get here

and then we'll see
what we can do.

But Daddy gave it to me.

He won't be upset.

But it's my lucky bracelet.

I know.

Hey.

Hi.

Macey's sleeping.

Already?

Oh, wow, you had a busy day.

She lost her bracelet today

and she is really
upset about it.

Oh no.

She fell asleep
not too long ago.

It's kind of a
drive to the caves

but I think that's
where she lost it.

I told her we could go back
there tomorrow to look for it

but it didn't help.

Can we get there before dark?

There, yeah.

But it'll be dark
on our way back.

Let's go then.

Do you want me to wake her?

No, let her sleep.

I'll call Tony and Shauna,

see if they can watch
her while we're gone.

See anything?

No.

The entrance is up here.

Watch your head.

Whoa.

Nice, isn't it?

What's the story
with this place?

I'm not sure.

I read about some tragic
forbidden romance, but...

We came here for the
stalagmites and the stalactites.

You should ask Macey about it.

I will.

All right, so any idea
where it might be?

No, she was running
around everywhere.

Okay.

Well, you look over there,
I'll look over here?

Yeah.

Macey told me you
gave her the bracelet?

A souvenir from Ireland?

Yeah.

It was kind of a difficult time,

I thought she might like it.

I had no idea that
she was gonna become

this attached to it though.

Well, it means a lot to her.

Oh!

Over here.

A little dusty but nothing
a little water won't handle.

Ow!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm fine.

- Don't touch that!
- Why?

Well, you're not
supposed to, um...

Here.

No, I'm good.

You sure?

This isn't some male
hurt pride thing, is it?

No, no, no.

Ow!

Then let me help.

Lean on me.

How is it?

It's okay, I just
stepped on a rock.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

No, I just, ow.

Do you need to sit?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Sorry.

I'm just not used to this.

What, someone helping?

No, just...

Having a woman around.

Oh.

Is that why you've been...

Been what?

Um, keeping me away?

Like you don't want me around?

No.

No, not intentionally.

I just didn't know if
you wanted your space

or if I was asking too much.

You hired me to
take care of Macey.

I know.

I'm sorry, it's
just so new to me.

With my ex-wife, it
was a thing and then...

You're not my wife,
and now it's...

This is sounding really weird.

A little.

Yeah.

Look, here's the thing.

I don't know where the line is.

I don't know...

I don't know what we
expect of each other

and what's acceptable or
what's asking too much of you.

Like the whole
making dinner thing?

Yeah.

That and my space and
your space and this...

You know, you always
being around and...

I have no problem
pulling my weight.

And if I wanted my
space or time, I'd ask.

Oh.

What if we just simply talked?

No assumptions, just be straight
forward with each other?

Yeah.

I'd like that.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Wow.

She's a pool shark.

Look what Amber and I found.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

All right, bedtime.

We're playing a game.

Plus, I took a nap.

Okay, shower fast and
you can keep playing.

Okay.

We just started.

You want to play teams?

I do not play well.

Good.

You can be on Connor's team.

Let's do this.

What's this?

Math.

Ew!

Two pages.

Do your best.

It's just to keep
what you learned

in fourth grade
fresh in your mind.

And after that, we're going
to build a home for a lizard.

Cool!

What type of lizards are those?

I think those are
Aruban whiptails.

Some are that blue green
color and others are brown.

What do they like to eat?

Bugs.

And maybe some plant leaves
and flowers probably too.

Look, there's
some ants in here.

Good job!

I think that's going to be
a perfect home for a lizard.

A whole family of lizards.

Do you have kids?

No, I don't.

All my other teachers do.

Their kids are lucky.

Why?

Their moms want them.

I think we should find a place

where the lizards can see this.

How about under a tree?

Okay, let's go find one.

Hey, guys!

Hey, Dad!

I brought some takeout home.

What is it?

Nachos.

Yes!

Ready to get out?

Five more minutes?

Two.

Okay.

I'm going to help
your dad, okay?

Okay.

Hey.

I got a selection of items here,

so if nachos aren't your thing.

No, sounds good.

I'm good with anything.

Okay.

Um, Macey said
something today,

and I wasn't really
sure how to respond.

Okay.

Well, it was about her mother.

Oh, all right.

She seemed down about it.

I don't want to pry,
but it might be helpful

to know a little bit
of the history there.

Yeah, no, yeah,
you're right, of course.

Short version, a
couple of years ago,

Macey's mom, she wasn't sure
what she wanted anymore.

And she felt like being married

and having a family
was holding her down.

So, she left.

She barely made it to
the divorce proceedings.

We haven't seen her since.

Wow.

That must be hard for Macey.

Yeah.

What do you want me to
say, if it comes up again?

Uh, jeez, I don't know.

I mean, whatever
you think's best.

You know, I do my
best to reassure her

and tell her I love her

and that none of this
was her fault, you know.

But I'm not even confident
any of my answers have helped.

I wonder what made
her think of this today.

Tomorrow's the anniversary
of my wife leaving.

Macey, time's up.

Coming!

Amber?

Macey?

Everything okay?

The lizard came into
the house we made.

Really?

Yep, but he left already.

Oh, and we have to go
to the store today.

Okay.

It's my dad's birthday.

Today?

He didn't say anything.

Can we surprise him?

Sure.

Of course.

Great, I'll go get dressed.

But don't tell Dad.

Okay.

Oh, hey.

You're leaving early today.

Yeah, running some errands.

Macey's brushing her teeth.

Oh, okay.

I hear it's your birthday.

Ah, yes.

Isn't today the day
you said your ex-wife...

Left?

Yeah.

Bad timing.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Well, um, if you can,

it'd be good to be home
in time for dinner.

Okay.

I promised Macey I wouldn't
say any more than that.

Oh, got it.

I got my dad a
stuffed penguin once,

but he didn't love
it as much as I did.

What's his favorite animal?

He says he likes them
all, but not snakes.

Hmm.

Well, maybe this year you
can give him something

other than a stuffed animal.

Yeah?

The lizard?

I think that could
be a pet for you.

Okay.

What about perfume?

You mean cologne?

It's very grown up.

What if you made
him something?

I do that every year.

He keeps everything

but you can only have so
many pictures and things.

I don't think he'd
ever get tired of those.

Still.

He could use a new shirt.

Yeah?

And his favorite color's blue.

Okay.

Well, there are some
clothing stores around here.

I bet we can find a blue shirt
that'd be perfect for him.

Come on.

Minister Figaroa,
of the sites possible,

the best combination of
wind reliability and cost is

the existing wind
turbine location.

We understand that there
is concern about it being

in a more visited park
area but the benefit is

that it's already
government owned land.

Other sites are owned
by our government too,

sites which are
more out of the way

from our tourists' paths.

Yes, but building
the power station out

to those areas will
be very costly.

We prepared some comparisons,

so you can see what
we're talking about.

I would like to bring a
colleague in to join us.

Of course.

You have time?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Cake is done.

Will we have time for icing?

I'll put it in the fridge
so it cools off faster.

We encourage you to
check our analysis.

I think you'll find

that the national park site
is still the most promising.

We will discuss it,

particularly the potential
negative impact on tourism.

That, and the
costs of any sites,

are our greatest concerns.

Of course.

Thank you both for
your time tonight.

Not a problem, thanks.

Hey.

Is she still awake?

Um, I doubt it.

She wanted to surprise you.

For your birthday.

I texted you to see
when you'd get back.

Yeah, I missed it.

I was in a meeting.

Mace?

I'm sorry.

Macey.

Macey.

Hey.

Come on, we can still
go surprise your dad.

Yeah?

Yeah.

There you go.

Thank you.

Eggs.

Is that everything?

The cake.

For breakfast?

Only for birthdays.

We'll come back for it.

Happy birthday, Dad!

Thank you, Macey.

And there's more.

Hurry, Amber!

Coming.

Look at that
stack of pancakes!

Happy birthday!

Macey can help you.

Thank you.

Open your present.

I picked it out myself.

You did?

Oh, I love the color.

I knew you would.

There's cake too.

Amber said it's
okay for birthdays.

Well, that sounds great.

Hey.

Macey chose well.

Oh, yeah, nice, right?

Thank you.

Um, I told Macey I'd be
taking the day off today.

That's great.

I hope that doesn't
ruin any plans you had.

Oh, no, it's okay.

We can make it up another day.

So what are you two going to do?

Oh.

No, I meant I'd be hanging
out with the two of you today.

If that's okay.

Of course.

Ostriches?

Cool!

So they farm them?

I guess we'll find out.

So you can see it already,
gray ones are the mommies,

black ones are the daddies.

Mating season for the ostriches
is the end of September

till the end of February.

Every two or three days,
mama will lay an egg,

around 15 eggs.

One ostrich egg is
around 24 chicken eggs,

but you can better
eat 24 ostrich egg

than even eat one chicken egg

because it's low in cholesterol
and very high in protein.

You want to feed 'em?

You wanna go, Mace?

No, you go first.

Me first?

Go on.

Come on, Papa.

You just hold the bowl.

Yeah.

Thumbs underneath it.

When the heads go in
there, that's how it feels.

- All right.
- Just watch your back.

Daddy is coming from that side.

Look at that, Macey.

They're so loud when they eat!

- Here, let's take a picture.
- Okay.

One, two, three.

All right.

All right, you want a go?

Your turn.

Oh, I don't, I'm good.

Yeah, I'll take the picture.

Okay.

There you go.

Oh my.

All right, take a picture.

This is so cool!

It's
something different, right?

Yeah.

There you go.

Macey, that was amazing.

Are you gonna try?

Yeah.

Okay, you're up.

There you go.

Now we can see your
beautiful face.

Nice job, Macey.

Good job!

There you go, good job.

That was cool, that was cool.

Good job.

So, for the ostriches,
daddy prepares the nest.

Daddy makes a hole in the ground

for mama to lay
her eggs in there.

Lately, is raining
a lot on the island,

so if daddy is not
taking care of the eggs,

the water goes in there and
eventually the baby will drown.

Can't they build
a better nest?

I wish.

But the way how they do it,
it's part of the instinct.

Can you train them?

Come see the emus, they
already figured it out.

Maybe they can teach
them how to build the nest.

One ostrich egg platter, guys.

Enjoy.
- Wow.

But the ostrich.

He was abandoned, this egg,
so he's not gonna make it.

Don't think about it, Mace.

Serve it up?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Oh, oh.

Sorry about that, here you go.

Here you go.

Knock yourself out on that.

Thank you.

All right.

So how is it?

Good.

I still think it's sad the
ostrich eggs don't hatch.

Well, it's part
of life, sweetheart.

Still, there has to
be a way to fix it.

You know, maybe you could
write something about it.

Like what?

Like what you
think could help.

Maybe a little report.

Okay.

I'll have to tell Lizard I
can't play when we get home.

Lizard?

She sort of caught one.

He's my pet.

A free-roaming pet.

I've yet to see it.

Oh.

Hey.

Hi.

Macey just informed me that
she wants an ostrich toy.

Uh oh.

Watch out, penguins.

Yeah, I know.

Ostrich fan now?

No, no, I'd say
more the experience

than the animal for sure.

I had fun too.

How do you go back to the
classroom after all this?

I don't know.

I probably will be the only
one who knows the difference.

You're gonna be disappointed.

Probably.

So you like it?

Teaching?

Yeah.

Have you always
taught fourth grade?

No.

I started out with kindergarten,

but one year of that was enough.

I thought I was patient,
but not that patient.

And then it was sixth grade,
and then second grade,

and then fourth grade.

I've just kinda stuck with that.

What made you want to teach?

My dad.

He taught math at
my high school.

That must have
been strange for you.

I thought so at first, but
my friends loved his class.

Both because he helped
them understand,

and because he cared.

I think that's what made
me want to be like that.

Make a difference.

Even though most of them won't
remember me in a few years.

Oh I doubt that.

You make a bigger difference
than you think you do.

I know Macey's not gonna be
the same after this summer.

Well, she's pretty
amazing to begin with.

Yeah.

Well, thanks for coming
out and putting up with us.

Okay, putting up with me.

We already know this
location isn't ideal.

I know.

We're waiting for a decision.

I thought we could just
get some more information

on this site, you know?

The data here says

that the winds are
too strong too often.

With the stress on the blades,

they'll be unable to run anyway.

Right.

No, I agree with you,

I'm just saying let's
see what we can find.

If you say so.

All right, biological
impact might be higher.

Lots of birds.

Probably bats too.

Exactly.

So how was your day off?

It was good.

Cool, what'd you do?

Amber took us to
an ostrich farm.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

She's working out?

Not so weird anymore, huh?

Macey really likes her.

I was wondering if you knew
of some fun things we could do

while we're in the country?

Like what?

I don't know.

Just wanted to find something
for us to do this weekend.

Us, as in you and Macey,

or us as in you,
Macey, and Amber?

Amber might be there.

I know just the thing.

Daddy, look!

Oh, cool, huh?

Look at that.

And there are more over there!

Oh, wow, look at that.

Hey, sweetie, hold
on, hold on, hold on.

Hurry!

She can wait, she can wait.

No, I can't!

- Are you sure?
- I got it, go.

Thank you.

Macey, wait for me, honey.

This is so cool.

I know, look at that.

Wow.

Phone, phone, phone.

Ah.

Take lots of pictures.

That's the idea, right?

Hey, that can wait.

Come on.

No, no, no!

Okay, let's take a picture.

One, two, three.

Okay, one more.

One-

Do you want one
with all of you?

- Yeah.
- All right.

- Thank you.
- All right, you're welcome.

Cute.

All right, one, two, three.

One more.

One, two, three.

Thank you!

You're so welcome.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Hey, Macey!

You want a drink?

In a minute!

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

You know, you're spoiling me.

This hardly feels like work.

That's not a bad
thing though, right?

Not at all.

I bet you had a lot of
people wanting to come.

Did you really
interview 15 people?

Wait a minute,
where'd you hear that?

My sister.

Who heard it from her husband,
who heard it from your dad,

so it probably was exaggerated.

Yeah.

Actually, it was 19.

Really?

Yeah.

Were they that bad?

No, I wouldn't
say they were bad.

I mean, you know,
they were okay.

But that's the thing,
they were just okay.

I'm cautious, you know.

I didn't want to stick
Macey with somebody

who was impatient or stern,

gonna give her a
miserable summer.

I want her to be happy.

Me too.

We're lucky we found you.

Well, we have our
families to thank for that.

Oh, yeah, your
sister, how's she doing?

Now she's the one that you
said you were gonna go home

and visit, right?

Yeah, she's doing well.

Healthy, both her and the baby.

That's great.

Now is this your
first niece or nephew?

Niece, and yes.

That's exciting.

Yeah.

Do you have any
brothers or sisters?

Yeah, I've got a brother.

He's got three boys.

So what's the secret
to being a good uncle?

Well...

I don't know, just
play with them a lot

when their parents won't.

You'll quickly be
their favorite.

I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, I doubt you'll
have any trouble.

Because I'm the
only aunt anyway?

Yeah.

No, because you're
genuine, because you care.

You're not gonna have to
rely on tips or tricks.

You'll be fine.

Thank you.

This is Tony.

Hold on a second.

Hey, Tony, what's up?

Oh, okay.

I was afraid of that.

All right, let's deal with
this first thing Monday.

All right, bye.

The government's leaning towards
putting off the expansion

of the wind turbines.

What will you do?

I don't know, we'll
figure out something.

That or go home early.

Whoa.

They're huge!

Yep.

And they can even be
bigger than that too.

Dad said the biggest one
in the world is, like,

250 meters tall.

Wow, that's crazy.

I figured you know a lot
about these, way more than me.

But I just wanted to see 'em.

Dad thinks
they're pretty cool.

But he says some people
think they're boring.

Well, I
think they're cool too.

Yeah, okay, I got it.

All right.

No, Tony and I are doing
everything we can, so...

Okay, bye.

Everything okay?

Yeah, just bosses telling
me how worried they are.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's all right.

Macey and I stopped by
the wind turbines today.

It was amazing.

Oh, cool.

I'm glad you got to see it.

Yeah.

Well, I know you're busy
so I'll leave you to it,

but would you want
to tag along with us

to these gold mill ruins I'm
taking Macey to tomorrow?

Kind of a history excursion.

Tomorrow?

Oh, shoot.

I'd love to, but Tony and I are

in the thick of things and...

Yeah, sure.

I just thought I'd check.

Well, have fun though.

Yeah, we will.

Whoa, cool!

This is what's
left of a gold mill.

Like real gold?

Mm-hmm.

Lots of explorers searched this
and other islands for gold.

They did find some
here in Aruba.

Guess how much?

A million dollars worth?

Try three million
pounds of gold.

Way more than a million dollars.

Can we see if
we can find some?

Sure.

Whoa, it's like an old castle.

Yeah, it is.

Can we play hide
and seek in here?

Sure.

Do you have a
boyfriend back home?

No, I don't.

Do you?

Ew, no.

But Robbie always chases me,

so I think he wants
to be my boyfriend.

I see.

Do you want a boyfriend?

I suppose if I find
the right one, yes.

My dad could be him.

I think he loves you so much

that no one else could compete.

That's a different
kind of love.

Everyone knows that.

True.

Do you think he's handsome?

Yeah.

Good.

Macey, there's more
to liking someone

than just what they look like.

Oh, I know.

That's what got me thinking.

What do you mean?

Dad acts differently around
you than everyone else.

Well, not everyone.

Yeah, he does.

Can we watch a movie
when we get back?

Depends.

You conveniently
left the back page

of a spelling worksheet blank.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Can you fix it?

I can't even
tell what's broken.

It's okay.

Let's just see what we can do.

Oh, wow.

Is that normal?

Um, let's try
calling your dad, okay?

Maybe he can tell
us what's wrong.

Amber, what are
we going to do?

Macey?

I'm home, kiddo!

Macey?

Amber?

Mace?

Hi, this is Amber.

Leave me a message.

Hey, it's Connor, I'm home.

Just wondering when
you'll be back.

Give me a call when you
get the message, thanks.

Are we stuck here?

For now.

But we're fine.

We still have some drinks and
snacks left from our picnic.

See?

Are we going to
spend the night here?

I hope not.

Someone will come soon.

Hey, we're fine, okay?

But what if no one comes?

Then we'll have a
campout in the car.

We'll make it an adventure.

Hi, this is Amber.

Leave me a message.

Hey, Tony.

Yeah, I need to borrow your car.

Did she say where
she was going today?

Yeah, gold mill ruins.

Okay, which ones?

What do you mean?

There are two of 'em.

Are you kidding me?

I don't know, she just
wrote "gold mill ruins."

Okay, she didn't
mention the name,

Balashi or Bushiribana?

No, neither of
those sound familiar.

Okay.

We'll go to one and
if they're not there,

we'll go to the other one.

Okay, yeah, let's just hurry.

You won't leave, will you?

Of course not.

Promise?

Absolutely.

What about to get help?

If I went to get help,
you'd be coming with me, okay?

I won't leave you alone.

What is it?

Someone's coming.

Hang on.

Who is it?

I don't know.

Amber?

Macey?

Dad?

Macey, Macey.

What happened out there?

The car just stopped
working all of a sudden.

And there was no
cell phone reception.

So why were you out there,
in the middle of nowhere?

Do you know how risky that is?

I took her to a tourist
spot in the middle of the day.

How is that risky?

Well, you're lucky
Tony knew where to go,

especially since there's
two gold mill sites.

I didn't know that.

Someone would have
found us in the morning.

Unharmed?

Do you know how
afraid Macey was?

She is?

Yes, I do.

What if someone
else came along?

Who knows who?

Trust me, I was
just as scared.

Okay, I thought about
all our options.

The only one that made sense
was to stay where I was,

with Macey, and
hope you'd find us.

And you did.

Macey wouldn't let me leave
her room until she was asleep.

She didn't want
to be left behind.

I promised her I
wouldn't leave her.

And I wouldn't have.

I know.

Look, it may not seem like it,
but I trust you with Macey.

But Macey is so fragile.

She's stronger than you think.

I just worry about her.

She's all I've got.

So did you have the car towed?

Yeah, they said they'd
have it fixed by next week.

Thanks for being there
last night, by the way.

No problem, man.

I don't think I've seen
you that tense before.

Yeah, can you blame me?

It wasn't Amber's
fault, you know.

I know.

It could have
happened to anybody.

Does she know that?

I think so.

Might want to make sure.

How was Macey today?

Tender, but ready
for another adventure.

You know Macey.

Yeah.

I told Amber to stay
close to the house today.

Kids are resilient.

Macey will bounce
back just fine.

Yeah, probably
faster than I will.

I'm getting worried about
going back to the States.

What do you mean, why?

Macey.

She'd be disappointed when
things go back to normal.

You mean when Amber
goes back to her life?

Yeah.

You sure she's the only one?

I'm just saying.

Last night, were you
only worried about Macey?

Think about it.

Yeah!

That's really good.

You can do three.

One, two, three!

Hey.
- Hi.

Where's Macey?

She went to bed early.

Good night!

Is she all right?

Yeah, no, she's fine.

I told her she could
read for awhile.

Um, dinner's ready.

I found a great little
spot in the back here,

thought it might be nice.

Okay, she...

She's already eaten.

Yeah, no, come on.

Okay.

What's this?

This is an apology.

If that's okay?

Thank you.

Please.

What?

What are you apologizing for?

Ah, yeah.

Well, I realized,

in being the overly
protective father that I am,

I didn't make sure that you
were okay after last night.

Oh.

I am.

Thank you.

Good, I'm glad.

So how's the
wind project going?

Nothing new.

Everyone is still concerned
about the visual impact.

Is that diplomatic-speak
for eyesore?

Pretty much.

Sometimes the best way
is to just acknowledge it.

Embrace it.

How do you mean?

Macey and I drove
by it the other day.

You did?

Mm-hmm.

I wanted to see them for myself.

And they stand out, but so what?

They're also pretty neat.

I wouldn't want
them in my backyard

but they're breathtaking to see.

Hmm.

So how would you make it better?

I don't think you can
change the way they look

but once you know how they work

and what they do and why, you
don't care about the visual.

I wish everyone
shared your viewpoint.

Give them a chance to.

Maybe an educational
outpost or something.

Huh.

So can I ask you
a personal question?

Well, that depends
on the question.

Never mind.

No, now you got me curious.

Have you ever thought
about another relationship?

Or remarrying?

Um.

Well, I was married
for 11 years,

and then one day, it was
tossed out the window,

so, no, not seriously, no.

What about for Macey?

No, I don't want
her to get hurt again.

Hmm.

You don't approve.

It just sounds lonely.

I can handle it.

I meant for you both.

What about you?

Me?

Yeah, ever been married?

I've had a few
almost-engagements.

Dating?

Not recently.

Too time-consuming.

Not the relationship itself,
I mean, that's worth it.

But getting there, the
whole dating process.

And no one's caught your eye?

Most of the men
I interact with are

fathers of my students.

Oh, oh.

Like me.

This is different.

Some of them are married.

No, really?

I'm sorry to say I've had
more pickup lines come my way

at parent-teacher conferences
than I care to admit.

Oh, wow.

So how do you handle that?

Oh, I've come
up with a few tactics.

What if we
make this an attraction?

It's hardly a theme park.

No, no, no, like a
building about wind power.

Something to educate visitors,
like a visitors' center.

To what end?

Amber said something
the other day

about embracing what it is.

I mean, it's not pretty.

But it doesn't matter

because what's unique
about it is its purpose.

A visitors' center.

Yeah.

Who pays for it?

One problem at a time.

Just saying, you know,
it's gonna come up.

So we crunch some numbers,
see how much it's gonna cost,

but what do you think?

I like it.

Let's try it.

I want to draw a boat too.

That's great.

What are you
two artists up to?

We're drawing the ocean.

That's pretty good, Mace.

Yours isn't bad either, Amber.

Want to
join us for a break?

Actually, I thought we'd
get out of the house a bit.

For what?

♪ I've been searching,
searching for something ♪

Is that it?

That's it.

Will they take us to treasure?

You all ready for some fun?

Yes!

- All right, let's go.
- Let's go.

Oh, look.

Yeah, right there?

Yeah.

Okay.

♪ It's waiting for me

All right, sweetie, let's go.

Come on up here.

All right, kiddo.

Grab this thing right here.

All right, have a seat,
I'll show you how it's done.

You guys got me down?

Yeah, go for it.

Three, two, one!

Yeah!

Come on, Macey!

Your turn, kiddo!

Let's go!

Your turn.

Come on, come on, you can do it.

Are you gonna make me go first?

♪ It's waiting for me

That was awesome!

Here you go.

That was fantastic.

Yeah, that was awesome.

Oh, sorry.

Can you even see
over the wheel?

Not really.

It's okay, I'll tell
you if we hit something.

Thanks for this.

Yeah.

Consider it a thank
you for the idea.

What idea?

To turn the turbines
into a destination.

Is that what I said?

More or less.

But you got me thinking.

And now I've got Tony
running some numbers

on a visitor's center

that's dedicated to
wind power and turbines.

Really?

Yeah, all because of you.

Whatever.

So what's next?

Well, we put together a
pitch, and I don't know,

I think this is
what it's gonna take

to get it pushed through.

You're gonna be ready
for a license after this.

Yeah!

She's having a blast.

She's an amazing girl.

Yeah, she is.

I mean it.

A lot of that is because of you.

Yeah, well, I
hate to admit it,

but her mom probably deserves
a little bit of credit.

How did you cope,
after the divorce?

Macey was, what, eight?

Yeah.

Well, my parents helped a lot.

But I struggled a little bit.

Felt like I had to do
everything myself, you know?

That's a lot of pressure.

It is.

But it's worth it.

She's everything that
matters, you know?

She sees you as
her whole world too.

I know.

It makes me a
little bit nervous.

Why?

I don't know.

What if I'm not enough?

You know?

What if she needs something
more than just me?

Sorry, I'm just rambling.

Are you?

Maybe.

I get what you're saying.

You do?

Neither one of you wants
to be lonely anymore.

We haven't been so much
since we've been here.

You've driven away the
loneliness, for both of us.

I have?

Yeah.

I'm glad.

You deserve to be happy.

Sorry.

It's all right.

No, no, that was a mistake.

I...

I didn't mean to...

To kiss me?

Yes.

No.

Dad!

Yeah, hi, honey.

Tony said I'd
be a great pirate.

Really, you would be.

Amber, do you
want to drive the ship?

Um, I don't have my license.

Whee!

Hey, kiddo, what you doing?

Look, it's kinda like a swing.

Here, let me try.

Oh, you ready?

Mm-hmm.

Let's go on three.

One, two, three, go.

Whee!

Hi, Amber.

Hi.

I'm headed up the
street to the beach.

I just wanted to see
if Macey wanted to go.

Sure!

I'll go get changed.

We'll only be a
couple of hours.

Amber.

Yeah.

It wasn't fair
for me to kiss you.

I'm sorry.

I'm not sorry we kissed.

It's too soon.

I mean, we barely
know each other.

Isn't that why people
spend time together?

I'm not ready for that.

Connor, you're not the
only one who feels something.

And if you need more
time, that's okay.

That's kind of you, but...

I was with somebody
for over a decade

and I was wrong about her.

And I don't know if
it's because I was blind

to her feelings or if I changed.

Until I do, I can't do this.

I just don't want you waiting

for something that
might not happen.

What do you think?

I think it needs to
be stronger right there.

Will we still see each
other when we get back home?

I'd like that.

But?

Well, you'll be starting
school when we get back

and so will I.

And you'll have your friends
and your grandparents...

And your dad.

You might be too busy.

We'll see, all right?

Hi, Candice.

What?

Really?

And the baby?

Oh, I'm so glad!

Text me a picture, okay?

Yeah, I'll be on
the next flight.

How much does she weigh?

Do you have to go?

She's my sister.

I promised I'd come.

But you'll be back?

Yeah.

Mace, you left your
plate on the table, honey.

Can you take care of
that for me, please?

Fine.

Thank you.

We can take you to the airport.

No, it's okay.

I know this isn't real
convenient for your work,

but thanks.

Well, I can work from
here, and when I can't,

Shauna said she could fill in.

So, yeah.

Okay.

If you prefer, I don't
have to come back.

It's your decision.

Well, maybe it'd be
easier if I didn't.

Her little hands!

I can't get over them.

Oh, she's precious.

Not at three in the morning.

How is sleep going?

You know, people warned me,

but sleep deprivation
is worse than I thought.

Rob is going to
start taking shifts

or I'm going to go bonkers.

And I can help too.

How long are you staying?

I thought you had to get back.

I'm not sure.

Things are winding down there,

so I might see if
they're fine without me.

Oh.

Kind of not like you to
leave someone hanging.

Hey, I'm here, right?

All right.

So what's really going on?

- Nothing.
- Amber.

Really, nothing is
happening or going to happen.

With Connor?

Yeah.

Okay, do I need
to chew him out?

Or send Rob to chew out his
boss to chew out his son?

No, please don't.

Good, because I don't
want Rob to get fired.

Mouths to feed and all that.

So what's his deal?

He's been hurt before.

And I guess I'm
not worth the risk.

I thought he was being weird.

We got past that and
we became something more.

It was amazing.

You could have that
with someone else.

It might not be
Aruba, but still.

It wasn't the place.

It was him.

And Macey.

I adore her.

And I know how I feel about him.

Relax.

The building costs
are reasonable

and the staff needs are minimal.

It'll still take some work.

Anything will.

They'll go for it.

Yeah.

So have you heard from her?

No.

You called her, right?

No.

So is this brooding
thing you're doing

because of something
you did or she did?

What'd you do then?

Nothing.

I didn't do anything.

It wouldn't work anyway.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Those beautiful, caring
types are overrated,

especially those that genuinely
like you and your kid.

The nerve of that woman.

You know what, you should
thank your lucky stars

that I'm here and not Shauna.

She would boot your behind
all the way back home

across the ocean.

You're being a
bit melodramatic.

Am I?

I don't know, you should
look in the mirror, buddy.

While you're staring at
that depressed reflection,

you should ask yourself,

are the reasons,
whatever they are,

that you pushed Amber
away, are they real

or just you flipping out
over your own insecurities?

Here they come.

Saved by the bell.

Sorry for the wait.

Hello, gentlemen,
good to see you again.

Good to see you too.

Hey.

Guess what?

What?

Our wind power
plans got approved.

Good!

Right?

Yeah.

Wait, does that mean
we have to go home?

No, not yet.

I still have some work to
do for a few more weeks.

And Amber?

What about her?

She's coming back, isn't she?

I don't know.

Can't we at least go visit
her when we get back home?

We'll have to see.

That's what she said too.

Hey, we'll be all right.

It's the two of us again.

I don't want it to
just be the two of us.

I want Amber.

Honey, even if Amber comes
back, it's just temporary.

Does it have to be?

Yeah.

She's not like Mom.

I know.

Mom never shared
her french fries.

What?

She got upset if
I ever took one.

Amber's not like that.

And Mom never made
me lunch for school.

No, because I did.

Not when you were traveling.

Oh, honey.

I wish that's all
I needed to know,

but it's so much more
complicated than that.

No, it's not.

Amber loves you.

How do you know?

I never saw Mom look
at you like Amber does.

Oh, she's asleep.

You can wait on that bottle.

Oh, okay.

Is that him?

Yeah.

He's asking me if
I'm coming back.

Are you gonna reply?

I just got the text.

Well, I say you go back.

If anything, you
made a commitment,

and I think you should honor it.

Even if it means
all the awkwardness,

and me not being able
to look him in the eye,

and forced talk about nothing?

Who cares?

It was awkward before.

Treat it just like work.

It's kind of hard to
ignore how I feel now.

Well, all the more
reason to go back

and see if he's
changed his mind.

And if he hasn't?

I don't think my
heart could take that.

Well, then take some
time to figure it out,

but not too long?

Hmm.

What?

Nothing.

That's the I would have
made that shot sound.

Heard it before.

Really?

Oh, okay.

Well, here, put me
out of my misery.

Are you sure?

Tony's not that hard to beat.

Whoa.

So was Macey okay
for you guys today?

Amazing.

That girl is pure sunshine.

I mean, she's fine, it's
just, I'm a little tired.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm just...

Don't know how much
longer I can keep it up.

So when is Amber coming back?

Oh, wow, subtle.

She didn't say she
was coming back.

Well, did you ask her?

I did, and she didn't answer.

Was it a "Hey, when
are you coming back

"to take care of Macey?" ask

or was it a "I miss
you, please come back?"

Is this what the
two of you talk about

when I'm not around?

Only because you can't figure
out what you want, Connor.

Wrong, I know
exactly what I want.

Do you?

I do.

I miss her.

I like her.

Better.

I want her back.

- Uh huh.
- Bingo.

But I'm not gonna
force her, so...

Uh huh.

Has she heard any

of this slightly better
than lukewarm sentiment?

Not really.

Keep wishing then.

Seriously, what can I do?

Really?

All those big ideas
and brains up in there

and you can't figure
out how to do something

that's so much more important

than putting a big
fan on a stick?

Success.

She's asleep.

Look at that, Aunt
Amber has the magic touch.

Yep.

Oh, will that wake her?

Yeah, I should
disconnect the doorbell.

I'll go get it.

Thank you.

Amber!

Macey!

What are you doing here?

Dad and I came
home for the weekend.

Hi.

Hi.

How are you?

Good.

Good.

We got you a little something.

You want to give it to her?

No, you can do it.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

Uh...

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Uh, sure.

Oh, you're gonna want to
open that before I forget.

You guys didn't have to.

I'm pretty sure she's hoping

you'll let her take
care of that for you.

We'll see.

It's pretty cute.

Thanks.

Sure.

How's your niece?

Healthy.

Sleeping.

How's being an aunt?

Amazing.

That's good.

I should have answered
you about coming back.

What would your
answer have been?

I'm not sure.

That's fair.

I didn't give you much
reason to want to come back.

But it's wonderful
to see Macey again.

Are you taking her
to your parents

for the rest of the summer or?

No.

No, she's...

She wanted to see you.

She missed you.

That's sweet.

And I missed you.

Hey, I had an entire
flight to think

about what I was gonna say,
and how I was gonna say it.

A lot of good that
did me, right?

I'm stalling here.

Look, in Aruba, I had my
reasons for the way I felt,

but those were just excuses.

I mean, I was scared.

Terrified, to be honest.

But that wasn't because of you.

I mean, you made the summer,
each day, an adventure.

For Macey and for me.

Look, I don't know if you
could tell, but I loved it.

And even if I made things
more awkward or hard,

it didn't change how
special things have been.

You, awkward?

I didn't believe there could
be someone so kind and real.

Not just to Macey, but to me.

Well, you both are
pretty easy to care about.

And love?

I mean, I know Macey's
a shoo-in, but is
there room for me?

You know there is.

I hoped so,

but I know I pushed you away.

I thought I lost you.

You're hard to let go of.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Listen, I can't promise

I'm gonna handle everything
perfectly from here on out.

I mean, there's still
stuff that scares me.

That's okay.

The best things in life are

the ones we're always
afraid of losing.

It doesn't mean we
give up on them though.

So don't give up on me then?

Never.

Is Macey going to be
all right with all this?

Absolutely.

She's your second biggest fan.

Oh, and who's the first?
