A December Bride Page #2

---

Nice.

Good choice.

Well, now that your

date crisis is settled,

I guess you can focus on

finding a new job, huh?

Okay, so keep

the grays,

and then punctuate it

with subtle blues.

I want lots of

textured leather and chrome.

Substantial but not dated.

What about the windows?

You can't just

summon inspiration.

I have to get to my lunch,

so I need you to measure

all of the offices

individually,

and then

pick up the lamp

for the Fletcher house

that I'm doing

for the Holiday Tour of Homes.

-Oh!

-I'm sorry!

Layla!

What a nice surprise

running into you.

Literally.

I didn't realize

you worked here.

Uh, yeah.

I don't need your help.

You've done

quite enough already.

Um, hey, I'm sorry to hear

about Jack and Jessica.

Not as sorry as I am.

When I put them

together,

I had no idea

where it would lead.

Obviously.

Do you know where

Mr. Hardwick's office is?

Yeah.

Just down the hall.

Thanks.

Layla, uh,

listen,

since we're both going

to the wedding,

maybe...

I don't know, maybe

you and I could go together.

You can't be serious.

[chuckles]

I will take that as a no.

Well, I already have a date.

You have a boyfriend.

Why,

you want to introduce

him to another girl?

Look, uh...

I don't want things

to be awkward between us.

We're way past awkward.

But why don't we just

go our separate ways

and leave it at that?

[objects dropping]

I got that for you.

Okay?

Yeah.

[elevator dings]

But since he's owned it,

he hasn't really done

anything to it, right?

So I think

he should really--

No, I think he should really

do something with the house.

It's his house--

Seth, Seth!

You know my wife.

Of course.

Very nice to see you

again, Mrs. Hardwick.

Seth...

She'd like to have

a word with you.

Are you familiar with

the Holiday Tour

of Homes charity event?

Uh, yes, of course,

but I've never actually

taken the Tour.

Well, visitors

get to see

all the holiday

decorations

in some of our community's

loveliest homes,

and the donations go to

our school education fund.

I'm chairing

the committee this year,

and we'd like you

to participate.

I wish that I could.

Unfortunately, your husband

keeps me so busy,

I just wouldn't

have time to decorate.

You can hire someone.

You may

as well say yes.

Joyce always

gets her way.

Then consider me

signed up.

Great.

"Happy wife, happy life."

-Oh, stop.

-Yes, sir.

Okay, the Tour

is in three weeks.

There are no

particular guidelines,

just make sure the house

looks... Christmassy.

You know?

Christmassy.

[elevator dings]

[cell phone rings]

[sighing wearily]

Hello?

[coughing]

I'm so sorry, Layla.

They sent me home from work.

Cooper, are you okay?
