The morning after the rehearsal dinner, Patrick opens his door to find Emory waiting. Surprised, Patrick asks Emory why he is in Italy. Emory tells him that he came as soon as he could because Maisie and Grant told him that Patrick needed him. Patrick invites him in and fills him in on the drama of the wedding, including his new rival, Palmina. Emory asks if the wedding is still on, and Patrick admits that he does not know. Patrick notices that Emory looks more mature than he did five years ago and realizes just how much he lost by breaking up with him. Patrick tells Emory how confused he is, with the kids growing older and becoming separate, independent people and not the pair he always thought they were. Emory admits that he notices it, too. Patrick tells Emory of his mistakes with the kids on the trip and Emory comforts him. Finally, Patrick admits to Emory that he broke up with him because of his own insecurities about his age and asks if they can get back together. Emory tells him that he does not care about his age and never will, assuring Patrick that he does not even consider them to have been broken up anyway.
