I wish I remembered you.

Don't worry about it.

It all come back to you.

I'd like for you

to meet my boyfriend, Brian.

Hello?

Yes.

Uhh, sorry. Hi.

Nice to meet you, George.

Jessie's been

telling me about you.

Not much to tell.

I'm as simple as a peanut butter

and jelly sandwich.

Well, that's pretty simple.

You ain't going up there

with her, are you?

No, no, not this time.

She's working and insisting

on being alone,

stubborn that way.

Well, just as well.

Shall we?

Sweetheart, can I, umm... Can I

talk to you for just a second?

George, will you give us a minute?

We're just going to say goodbye.

- I'll wait for you in the truck.

- Okay.

Thanks.

- What's wrong?

- This isn't a good idea.

He's lived up here his whole

life. Everyone knows him.

Well, don't act like you've been

spending all your summers up here.

Like we're

straight-up trespassing.

Everything's going to be fine.

It's sweet that you're worried

about me. I'm a big girl.

I'm doing this for us, you know?

This could be huge.

I feel like I'm in The Shining.

Come on. Kiss me. I got to go.

I just...

I'll see you soon.

I love you, baby.

Cute butt!

Tease.

I got to say, I was a bit surprised when

I heard you want to come back here.

I know. It's been a long time.

Is that where Jean is?

Yes, ma'am, it is.

You ought to pay her

a visit while you're here.

I bet she'd like that.

You know, it was really nice

of you to look after her.

She had a nurse that

took care of her.

I just looked after

the utilities,

fixed the leaky pipes,

things like that.

Were you close with her?

Took care of her

the best I could.

But I guess,

when it's your time,

it's your time.

Hmm.

So, you're a writer, huh?

That, I am.

Any good?

I'm not sure yet.

You write that scary stuff,

don't you?

That's what your aunt said.

Yeah, scary stuff.

Yeah, I don't like

that scary stuff.

I guess a week alone

up in the cabin here, that'll...

That'll spark the mood.

That's what I'm hoping.

Remember this?

I wish I did.

I'll stop by now and then,

make sure you're fine.

Heater's working and all that.

And got plenty of firewood.

You guys give me a shout

any time you want some.

Thank you.

Here's your key.

You can come in.

I've done my good deed for the

day. And now I'll be on my way.

Besides, I got a lot of work.

So do you.

Are you okay?

Just fine.

Well, thanks for the ride.

I appreciate it.

My pleasure.

You're going to do okay.

Thank you.

Oh, God!

I thought a caretaker was

supposed to actually take care.

Oh, lovely. Oh, God.

That's pleasant.

Let's see what's behind

door number two.

What a mess.

Well, you wanted to be alone.

Well, that's great.

It was as if, somehow,
