That really happened?
Not everything your father says is a complete fabrication.
Is he awake?
He just fell asleep. Josephine's with him.
Mom?
Yes?
Did you and Dad have any other property?
I suppose your grandmother's house when she passed on. But we sold that right away. Your cousin Shirley bought it.
So you never bought any land.
Heavens no. We had a hard enough time keeping the mortgage on this place.
I don't suppose one of us could stay with him. In case he... In case he wakes up, one of us should be there.
I'll stay. Why don't you go home with Josephine and I'll stay tonight.
That's okay?
Mom, do you want some time with Dad?
Yes. Thank you.
It's bad.
It's more than they thought. They're going to stop chemo.
You need to go.
Probably tonight.
I'm going with you.
You don't have to.
I'm going with you.
I talked with your father last night.
Did you?
You never told me how your parents met.
They met at Auburn.
What about the details? How they fell in love. The Circus. The War. You never told me any of that.
That's because most of it never happened.
But it's romantic.
Mmm.
Mmm, what?
Mmm, what. I know better than to argue romance with a French woman.
Do you love your father?
Everyone loves my father. He's a very likeable guy.
Do you love him?
You have to understand. When I was growing up, he was gone more than he was here. And I started thinking maybe he has a second life somewhere else. With another house, another family. He leaves us, he goes to them. Or maybe there is no family. Maybe he never wanted a family. But whatever it is, maybe he likes that sec...
But it's not true.
What is "true?" I've never heard my father say a single true thing.
Look, I know why you like him. I know why everyone likes him. But I need you to tell me I'm not crazy.
You're not.
I need you on my side.
I am always on your side. And I think you should talk to him.
What happened?
Your father had a stroke. He's upstairs with your mom and Dr. Bennett.
Is he going to be okay?
Thank you. I'll bet you need to
Yes.
Down the hall on the right. The door sticks. You have to really pull it.
I spent a week in Morocco for the story. It was incredible.
We'll have to pick up a copy.
I'm going to get started on dishes.
I'll help you.
I'm going to check on him.
I need to lie down for a bit.
I'm sorry. It seems every hour I have to...
I know. It was the same when I was carrying Will. Like clockwork.
Do you like it, being pregnant?
I do.
I loved it. It sounds peculiar, but I loved every minute of it. I did. Eddie was travelling a lot, so he was gone, but I felt like I always had a piece of him with me. A little part of his soul inside me. I could feel it. It was alive and kicking.
Oh. Oh.
Hello.
I wasn't expecting you.
Are you Jenny Hill?
I am. And you're Will. I've seen your picture, that's how I recognize you. I almost said something at the store, but it would have been awkward. Like this.
How did you know my father?
This was on his sales route, so he was through here all the time. Everyone in town knew him.
Were you and my father having an affair?
Wow. Wow, you just said it. I was expecting to dance around this for another half hour.
I've seen him with women. He flirts. He always has. On some level, I presumed he was cheating on my mother. I just never had proof.
Can I ask you a question? Why did you come here today? If you found this deed, why didn't you just ask Eddie?
Because he's dying.
Look, I don't know how much you want to know about any of this. You have one image of your father and it would be wrong for me to go and change it. Especially this late in the game.
My father talked about a lot of things he never did, and I'm sure he did a lot of things he never talked about. I'm just trying to reconcile the two.
Logically, you couldn't be the Witch, because she was old back when he was young.
No, it's logical if you think like your father. See, to him, there's only two women: your mother and everyone else.
You didn't become crazy.
Well, therapy. And one day I realized I was in love with a man who could never love me back. I was living in a fairy tale.
Wait! I need those!
There is no softer ground than town.
I've been working on this poem for 12 years.
Really.
There's a lot of expectation. I don't want to disappoint my fans.
This is why you don't show work in progress.
Norther, do you ever regret not making it to Paris?
I can't imagine any place better than here.
You're a poet. You oughta be able to. And maybe if you'd seen more, you could.
It's me. Norther Winslow.
I was astonished to see the greatest poet of both Ashton and Spectre all the way out in Texas.
I don't believe it!
I want you to know, when you left Spectre it opened my eyes. There was a whole life out there that I was not living. So I travelled. I saw France, and Africa, half of South America. Every day a new adventure, that's my motto.
That's great, Norther. I'm happy for you. I can't believe I helped.
So what are you up to now?
I'm robbing this place.
This is it? The whole vault.
'Fraid so.
Edward, it's got your deposit slip on it.
I'm sorry.
Don't need to apologize to me. I mean, I'm the luckiest person you're going to find today...
Oh.
But you're wrong. I do know you, at least by reputation. Edward Bloom from Ashton. See, I'm actually engaged to a boy from Ashton. Don Price. He was a few years older than you.
