The Wondry! It's the summer of 2009 on Oprah Winfrey's estate in the affluent coastal neighborhood of Montecito, California.

Oprah strolled through her manicured gardens with her partner,

Stedman Graham. They've been together for over two decades, but Oprah's busy schedule has meant they

haven't always had as much time together as they'd like. Now, though, that might change because

Oprah has a big decision to make. She's considering whether to bring the Oprah Winfrey show to an end after 23

years on the air. Stedman is in favor of the idea and encourages Oprah to make a decision that will be

good for the both of them. Just think, you wouldn't have to tape every single day, jetting back and

forth to Chicago. You'd have some flexibility. You could set your own schedule, maybe even have

time for a few more dates here and there. Stedman nudges her playfully with his elbow. Well, I wouldn't

complain about that. You know I just want you to be happy, but right now he seemed burnt out. You're

working like you used to when you first started out. Just go, go, go, 24-7. Oh, it's not that bad.

Some nights you don't even make it into bed.

You fall asleep in the chair downstairs.

That's never happened.

Oh, it's happened.

At least five times.

Oprah laughs because she knows he's right.
