now that you're engaged.

Well, considering we haven't set

a date yet, no.

And even when we do, no.

Ok.

It's just I don't wanna

rush this.

Let me rephrase that.

I just- I don't want to rush

the perfect day.

How's that?

Better.

I still can't believe the girl I

played bride with in fifth grade

is getting married.

[phone vibrating]

Do you remember our veils?

[gasps]

Yes!

Excuse me, I gotta take this.

Work calls.

The one we uh, the one we made

out of dish towels?

[laughs]

Those were very chic.

Maybe I should think about

bringing those back.

Maybe it's a good thing you

became an interior designer

and not a fashion designer.

Hey.

I bet I could make an entire

wedding dress

out of terry cloth.

Don't freak me out.

Anything bridal freaks you out.

That's not true.

I've pictured my

wedding day before.

Once. Like, a million

years ago.

More like ten years ago.

And it's not my fault

it fell apart.

Ok, I know you don't like

me saying this

but you need to get out there.

You don't wanna be my sad,

single friend

when I'm married

with, like, six kids.

I have been out there before,

plenty.

Ok, maybe not plenty but,

you know...

You can't keep comparing

everyone to Nate.

What?

This has nothing to do

with Nate.

I haven't seen or spoken

to him in years.

You know that.

Even if I did I'd still be fine.

Then why aren't you dating?

Because I've been busy with the

one relationship I can control.

Oh please, do not tell me that

you are talking about the cafe.

What?

You do realize how pathetic

that sounds.

Ok, pathetic may be a tad harsh.

And yes, I do.

That's why I'm gonna order us

some burgers.

Good move.

Good move.

Well, I would be lying if I said

we weren't a little surprised

to hear you wanted to bring

your program to Indian Lake,

but we're very happy

to have you.

I couldn't leave my hometown

off the rotation.

Even if my family

doesn't live here anymore.

Well, Dr. Langston speaks

very highly of you.

He says you're one of his best

new cardiologists.

Hopefully that means

he'll consider me

for his new research program,

if the grant goes through.

I'm sure he will.

I don't know.

There's a ton of interest.

But it's all about standing out,

right?

Just like college.

You have to pack on the

extracurricular to get noticed.

So you developed a crash course?

A six-week course.

In clinical communication

after cardiac surgery.

Good bedside manner

is everything.

Especially to the people

you're treating.

But sometimes, when you re

pushing for advancement,

that can get lost.

Well, I can see why he speaks

so highly of you.

[knocking]

Oh, Nate, this is

Charlie Simpson,

one of our best
