(soft music)
(upbeat pop song)
(distant phone ringing)
(sputtering)
(scoffing) - Please work. Come on.
(sighing) Oh, no-no, no-no.
(woman): What's taking so long?
- Coming!
(liquid pouring) - Yes!
(whispering): Oh, thank you.
(uplifting music)
- Wednesday, I have Morgan's chat show, then the later show.
Thursday is the CDN Awards and Friday through Sunday,
I'm speaking at the Travel Convention. Over to you.
- Yes, me. Well, I have made a list of possible locations for your next book.
- I know, you sent me an email. Have you made any progress?
- Absolutely. I've planned a route to visit all ten in the next week. I head off tomorrow.
- Good work. Let me know how it goes.
- Okay, will do.
- By the way, I read that blog you sent me, the one you wrote about New York.
- You did?
- Yeah. I read all the articles you send me.
It was really well written. - Thank you.
- It was just missing a bit of heart.
- Heart?
- Make it personal.
Why did you choose that district?
- Well, I used to go there, with my ex.
He first bought me flowers at the florist on 4th Street.
- You see? That's what I mean. Now I'm interested.
It's complicated, it's messy and it has heart.
(chuckling)
You know what this is?
- That's your lucky pen.
You had it inscribed after your first commission.
- This pen has a story.
Take it.
- Jenna, I couldn't possibly take this.
- I want you to have it. Use it, write everything from the heart.
I know being my assistant isn't your dream job.
You want to write your own travel guides.
- One day.
But I really enjoy working for you, Jenna.
- It's okay to want more. You've got real potential.
- You think so? - Absolutely.
But so do a dozen other writers I get sent articles from every day.
You need to find a way to stand out.
Make it personal.
(distant phone ringing)
I was gonna wait to mention this but now's as good a time as any.
I remember what it was like when I was getting started.
Which is why I have a proposition for you.
- Okay, let's hear it.
And she says, if I can prove myself in finding the right location for her next book,
then...
- Then what?
- Then I can write a chapter of my own in her next book.
- 'Kay, wait, wait, wait.
Jenna Ashcroft? - Yeah.
Two award-winning novelist and travel blogger,
creator of Jenna's Journeys-- - Mm-hmm.
- ...has offered to let you write a chapter in her next book? Emma, this is huge.
- Okay, it wasn't really an offer. She raised it as a possibility.
- We should be celebrating.
- Well, I still have to find the locations.
- Which you will. You are brilliant at your job.
- You're my best friend, you have to say that.
- Em, no one deserves this more than you.
You know, especially after everything with...
Andrew.
- Ditching me at the altar?
You can say it. I'm fine.
- I just think this is a great opportunity for a fresh start.
- Well, won't be easy finding the locations.
This isn't like Jenna's other books.
- What do you mean?
- Well, Jenna wants to dig deeper.
You know, she wants to write about those crazy myths that small towns have
and then debunk them.
- What, like investigative journalism?
- Yeah. Kind of. (sighing)
It's gonna be hard finding locations
and getting people to open up about those myths.
- Well, good thing you love a challenge.
(scoffing)
Wish I was more like Jenna. You know, she just...
She really walks into a room
and people notice her.
And she's so...
cutthroat but really good with people too.
It's like nothing ever goes wrong for her.
Oh, which reminds me...
- When you travel a lot like I do, there's bound to be setbacks but I always think,
"Make every setback an opportunity."
If I have an unexpected layover,
it's writing time, exploring time.
I don't waste a second.
- She is so fierce.
- Totally.
(gentle music)
So this woman actually wanted 300 cupcakes.
- One for every day she's known and loved him.
(snickering) - Oh, wow. That's some serious sugar.
- Oh, yeah.
You know, my bakery might not take me on wild adventures like your job does
but definitely keeps me busy.
You know, sometimes I do wish I had a job like yours,
just jetting off to a new place every month.
- And what about Dane, your six-foot-two, handsome husband?
- He can do laundry, he'd survive. (laughing)
- Yeah, he might, you wouldn't. You'd miss him within a day.
- Mm.
- Anyway, hopefully soon, you'll have a new addition keeping you busy.
(pensive music)
What have I said?
- No... it's not you, it...
You know I want to have a baby so badly but...
it's just not happening for us.
- Oh, Molly. I'm so sorry.
- We've tried everything.
You know, the special shakes in the morning, exercise plans, special scented candles.
(scoffing) - Scented candles?
- Don't ask.
- Hey.
It'll happen. I know it.
You know, I can't think of anyone else who would make a better mom.
- I can't think of anyone better to find Jenna her locations.
Your name will be in print in no time.
(chuckling) - Thanks.
- To hope.
- To... new beginnings.
(uplifting music)
Okay, Jenna. Yeah, I'm heading off.
Absolutely. Okay.
I'll send you updates. Of course. Bye.
(exhaling sharply)
(upbeat music)
You've got this.
(hissing, engine sputtering)
Come on.
(sighing)
(birds chirping)
(shouting) Hello?
(mysterious music)
- "Welcome to Love.
Winner of the most welcoming town for 20 years running."
(scoffing) What is this place?
(hissing)
Hello?
(man humming) Excuse me.
Hi?
What would Jenna do? (playful music)
Hey!
Hello?
Hello?!
Excuse me?!
(gasping)
Oh!
Uh...
Sorry?
- Are you kidding me?
Look at me, I'm soaking.
- You pelted me with berries.
- Well, I was just trying to get your attention.
- I couldn't hear you. You threw my berries at me?
- I didn't have a choice, you weren't listening to me
and I didn't have anything of my own to throw at you.
- What else have you taken from here? - Nothing.
Look, I'm really behind schedule
and I had to be somewhere an hour ago
but my car died so, you know, I figured, in a town called Love,
people have got to be helpful, right.
- Uh, never heard that one before.
Whoa, is that the time? I'm sorry, I actually have to go.
- Okay, well maybe you could just point me in the direction of the nearest garage?
(exhaling sharply)
So much for this being the most welcoming town in the state.
(chickens clucking)
- You're late.
- I'm sorry. I got held up.
(grunting) - Oh, and... there was...
uh, well... I lost some berries along the way.
- Well, I could use your muscles.
The chickens got out again.
- Oh, Mima, I can't stop. Duty calls. But I will come back later.
- Oh? - I promise.
(chickens clucking)
(tense music)
Hey, Dad.
Sorry. I know I'm late.
- What do I always say? If you can't keep time--
- You can't keep a town running.
Good job I don't have to then, Dad.
- Not yet, anyway.
- I don't get why this meeting with the Awards panel is such a big deal.
You've won Most Welcoming Town in the State 20 years running.
- And I want to make it 21.
This is my last year as Mayor
and I want to hand you a legacy you can be proud of.
- Yeah, but we've been through this.
I don't even know if I want to run. - Why not?
- Because it's something 60-year-old men do. Not someone like me.
- We need some young blood.
- Shouldn't you be on your way?
- Here's the list of jobs.
- Oh, if you see a woman soaking wet trying to flag you down, just keep driving.
She was having car trouble but she's kind of strange.
- Did you stop and help her?
- I had to get here.
(scoffing) - That's not the spirit of Love.
Don't worry, I'll send Al to sort it out.
- See ya, Dad.
- Try again.
(engine sputtering)
Ah, yeah, that's gonna need to be replaced.
- Seriously?
(exhaling deeply) Okay, how long is this gonna take?
- Ah, it's gonna be tomorrow at the earliest.
(scoffing) - Tomorrow? No, that's not possible.
I have a list of places I have to visit and I'm already half a day behind. So...
- Think of it as an unexpected vacation.
Find yourself a place to stay and take a look around.
- Where's the nearest hotel?
- You're best to check with the Mayor's office in the town hall.
- A mayor?
- He's super friendly. He's actually famous for it.
He might even show you around if he's having a quiet day.
It's just straight down on the left. You can't miss it.
- Thanks. Oh, um, do you have free wi-fi here?
I'm struggling with my signal. (chuckling)
(clearing throat) - Um, not that I know of.
- Great.
(loud rock music playing)
(muffled rock music playing)
(loud rock music continues)
(rock music ends) (sighing)
Hello?
Is anyone here?
Oh.
Uh, wait.
You are the mayor...
of Love?
That is unbelievable.
You know, not only does your town need a more welcoming mayor,
you could also invest in free wi-fi.
- Is that so?
- Yes, it is.
Now can you direct me to the nearest hotel?
Al, the mechanic, he said to ask you.
- This is a nice boutique hotel.
(sighing) - That sounds divine after the day I've had.
- Nice pen.
Here's the address.
Oh, and make sure you tell Mima that Riley sent you.
And once you're settled in, you should go to the Romance Novel Café.
- Oh, is that a nice place to eat?
- Oh, yeah. I'll be there later
and I would love to hear what you think of the hotel.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- No problem. - Thank you very much.
- See you later.
(footsteps receding)
(door closing)
(loud rock music playing)
(mischievous music)
(chickens clucking)
(mumbling): 868.
Well, maybe it's cute inside?
Hello?
- Mima, hi. Riley sent me, the Mayor.
- Strange choice of outfit but best get started.
- Started with what?
- They like corn.
(clucking)
- Then can I have a room?
Oh, okay then.
(playful music)
(chickens clucking)
(gentle music)
(dishes clattering)
- Kay? The special, The Food of Love, what's in it?
- You think you're really funny, don't you?
- Did the hotel not live up to your standards?
- No because you sent me to the wrong address.
- It was a joke.
- Do you know how fast chickens run?
- I do.
- How did a guy like you become a mayor of a town called Love?
- Oh, he's not the Mayor.
At least not yet. That's his dad, Mitch.
- Is that so?
Who does that?
Lies to make themselves sound more important than they really are.
(quirky music)
- I didn't lie, I just didn't correct you.
But why don't you sit down, have some dinner?
The Pizza My Heart is a personal favourite of mine.
- Hmm. I still have to find a hotel.
(bell chiming) - What?
- That's not the actions of a future mayor, if you ask me.
- Fine, save me a slice of pizza.
- Hey, hold up.
At least let me show you where the real hotel is.
- Knowing you, we'll end up in a barn.
- No more games. I promise.
- I can find my own way. Thanks.
- Okay, but that's the wrong way.
(playful music)
- Fine.
(gentle music)
- So, what brings you to Love?
- Apart from the friendly people? (chuckling)
I'm on a trip location scouting. - Oh, do you work in the movies?
- No. Books.
You heard of Jenna's Journey's? - They're like travel guides or something?
What, are you looking for new locations?
- Yes, something like that.
- Must be pretty cool being an author.
- Um, no, I'm-- - Are you writing about Love?
- No.
- If you did, what would you say?
- Nothing good. - Look, about before--
- Thanks for showing me the way. It's the least you could do.
(stammering) - You, um...
(sighing deeply)
- Yes.
(Emma on the phone): Ah, Molly. He was a total nightmare.
He actually pretended to be the Mayor.
Okay, yeah, he's the Mayor's son but... Oh, oh, and the best part,
this town is called Love.
- Uh, I've heard of that place...
on a fertility blog.
- Fertility? I think it's a little small to have a fertility centre here
but it's just me.
- No, no. It's more unconventional than that...
You know, I'll send you the article. - Sure.
But as soon as my car is fixed, I am outta here.
(leaves rustling)
(mischievous music)
- Dad, I would have done that.
- It was on your list. - Was it?
- Tell the truth, I could use the distraction anyway.
- What's up? - Let's just say
my meeting with the Awards Committee yesterday
wasn't exactly a roaring success. - How so?
- They said that there's no denying that Love's a welcoming town
but what are we doing this year that's extra special?
How do we go that extra mile?
(scoffing) - That's ridiculous.
You always go the extra mile and then another for good measure.
- I know but they want something new to shout about.
I have to submit a report within a week.
How 'bout we bat around a few thoughts?
- Dad, you know I don't feel the same way about this town as you do.
(chuckling)
- Come on, buddy, help an old man out.
- Okay. Fine, half an hour.
- That's my boy.
We need a fresh pair of eyes.
- Maybe that annoying woman from yesterday could have helped.
The one whose car broke down. Travel writer.
Works for Jenna's Journey's?
- Jenna's Journey's?
Are you sure it wasn't Jenna Ashcroft herself?
- I thought she said her name was Emma
but I guess it could have been Jenna.
- The jacket's a little messed up, I spilled some red wine on it in Sicily
but could that be her?
- Dad, I can barely see this photo, I mean, it kinda looks like her.
She had that pen. I remember that.
- Really?! Jenna Ashcroft in Love.
Award-winning writer and travel blogger.
When Jenna puts her seal of approval on a place,
she puts it on the map.
This is perfect. We can get her to write a blog about Love.
- Wait a second. She wasn't here to write about the town.
- No. But she was here
and even if you're just passing through, you can't help but...
- Fall in love with Love.
- Wait until the Awards Committee hears about this.
We can hold an event, do a reading from her post.
- What are you doing? Every time you go on my computer, you mess up the settings.
- I'm emailing Jenna.
No point doing it from my account, I never check it.
- What are you gonna say?
- I'm going to ask to meet her,
then you are going to show her what Love is all about.
- Me? Dad, there's something you should know before you--
- Sent!
- She's only in town while Al fixes her car.
She's gonna be on her way by now.
- Then you best get over to that hotel.
- And do what?
- Use your charms. Lay down in front of her car if you have to.
- Dad. - Son.
We have a week to impress the Awards Committee
and secure our 21st victory as The Most Welcoming Town in the State.
- But...
- What are you waiting for?
Go!
Smile!
(cheerful music)
- Oh, you went for the eggs? Good choice.
- Well, it was about the only dish on the menu that wasn't a sharing platter, so...
- So, I went by your hotel and they said you must have checked out.
- What did you want?
- My dad, he would like to meet you before you leave.
- Your dad wants to meet me?
- Yeah. I don't know if you got his email but he's a big fan of yours.
- I'm not following.
- Look, I know we didn't get off on the right foot
but he's the actual mayor and he's a decent man.
And he said if Jenna Ashcroft is in my town--
- Jenna Ashcroft? - Yeah.
Like I said, he's a big fan of your books. He put two and two together.
Just a quick hello and it would make his year.
- Mm-hmm.
- Dad's really excited. He's been talking about it all morning.
- Great. - Yeah.
(exhaling slowly) - Be more Jenna. Be more Jenna. Be more...
- Jenna?
- Yeah, coming.
- Okay, come on in.
- Jenna! Welcome to Love.
It's an absolute honour.
- Oh, please.
- I've read all of your travel guides.
The way you describe a place, it's as if we can see it through your eyes.
(chuckling)
I was planning on coming to a book signing.
- But you didn't, right?
- How'd you know that?
- Oh, well, I would never forget a face like your dad's.
- I thought that as you were staying here um,
Riley here could show you some of our most famous sites.
- What?
(both): I don't think that he wants to-- (chuckling)
- Uh, that sounds like a really lovely idea
but I'm just waiting for my car to be fixed, so...
- You couldn't stay on?
- No. No, I'm afraid not.
(phone buzzing) Oh, um...
Oh, that's, that's Al, the mechanic.
Hmm. Excuse me.
Hello?
- We don't need her help.
- She couldn't stay a day? - Okay, we had another run-in.
She said if she was going to write about Love, it wouldn't be anything good.
- I can't believe this.
- How was I supposed to know who she was?
I mean, if you ask me, we dodged a bullet.
I can't think of a worse way to spend a day than with an arrogant, full of herself--
(Emma clears her throat)
Is your car ready?
- No, it's not.
- Brilliant!
- Mm.
Betty's Wool Shop.
- She hand knits with love.
- Mm.
The Love Well. The Love Maze.
The Animal Sanctuary.
Oh, the Love Bug.
- The local school children made her from recycled bottles.
To show their love for the world.
- Mm.
- I'm sure there's better things you could be doing.
(scoffing)
- Every day in Love is an adventure.
We've got all kinds of legends.
- Legends?
Like myths?
- Stories that are passed down from generation to generation about Love.
- You know what? Why not?
- Well, now you have the list. I don't think you really need a guide.
- Of course she does.
And make sure everyone you meet knows about our VIP guest.
(chuckling)
- That's really, really not necessary.
- You are the most famous person we've ever had in Love.
Everyone is gonna want to meet you.
(chuckling nervously)
- Wow.
(cheerful music)
- Hey, um, you forgot this.
- Oh.
Thank you.
- Betty's cardigans are a highly sought-after item around here.
- Oh. Do you have one? - I do. It's cozy.
- Hmm.
I think it's a little warm to try this on right now, so...
Thanks.
Doesn't this get to be a bit much?
- What? - All of this.
Tie the Knot? - It's a shoe store.
- Okay, Perfect Catch? - Fishing supplies.
- It's like living in a-- - Greetings card? - Yeah.
Okay, seriously?
(scoffing) The Love Muffin?
- Okay, we can just call it a day. My dad wanted me to show you the Love Well but--
- Oh, no-no. I want to see the Love Well.
- Really? - Yeah.
Unless you want me to tell your dad that you gave up on the Love tour?
- Ah, nope. I just didn't think you were having a good time.
- The best.
(scoffs)
(birds chirping)
So, this is where the town used to get all their water?
- In the beginning. But nowadays,
we have running water and electricity, just like the city folk.
(dryly) - Ha-ha.
- Yeah. - Hey, guys. Welcome to the Love Well.
- Hi.
What's the deal with this guarding of the well?
- Like everything in Love, there's a story behind it. Riley...
- Well, the legend has it that a young man was getting water for his beloved
when he fell into its icy depths.
With so much love still left to give,
his beloved set up a house where anyone could go that needed her.
So powerful was her compassion
that anyone who drinks from the well gets their heart's desires.
- Hmm. - How'd I do?
- Couldn't have said it better myself.
Many women since have taken on the role.
Would you like to meet the Guardian? She's free now.
- I think we will give it a rest, thanks.
(cheerful music)
- So, what was that that you said about the guardian? They change every year?
- I thought you said you weren't actually writing about this place?
- Well, I'm a big believer in making every setback an opportunity.
(chuckling) That well story is so crazy.
That people actually believe that, I can't believe it.
(subdued music)
- So, where's next?
- That's it for today.
- Are you seriously upset with me because I don't believe in some ridiculous myth?
- And you think I do?
- Well, yeah.
I thought everyone in Love did.
- Yeah, well, I'm the exception but at least I'm not rude to them about it.
I don't care if you believe in this town's myths or not.
What I do care about is you making fun of good hardworking people.
- I wasn't.
- It wasn't just at the well.
The way you looked at the cardigan that Betty gave you,
like you wouldn't be caught dead in it.
- Okay, I didn't say that. - You didn't have to.
You know, Betty only started making knitwear after her husband passed.
It was the only thing keeping her going.
(stammering) - Look, I just find real wool to be itchy.
- You could learn a lot from the people of Love.
(scoffing) - You know,
the only thing that I've learned about love is that it hurts,
so, I'm not exactly the target audience for loving love.
Sorry if I'm not buying into all of this.
Besides, it's tacky.
- Not to the people who live here. People like my dad.
We are the most welcoming town in the state for a reason.
And part of that is we never make people feel small.
You don't have to be a high-flying author to get a little respect around here.
- Okay, no, you know what? Hang on a minute.
You have been anything but friendly to me ever since I got here.
And your dad has you acting like the poster boy for Love, showing me around,
when you think I can't tell that the truth is that you hate the place.
I mean if I was gonna write-- - That's not true.
- It isn't true? Well, then, what's your problem?
- I am ecstatic about this place, the town, everything.
- Really? - Really!
So, on to the Love Bug.
- What? Whatever.
(scoffs)
(birds chirping)
- Oh, my gosh! That's the place I was talking about, the Love Well.
I mean, so many women have gotten pregnant after drinking from the Love Well.
- Don't tell me you actually believe that stuff, Molly?
- Well, at this point, I'd believe anything.
Anyway, it's not about the well water, it's about meeting the guardian.
And she does not do video calls.
- Well, have you made another appointment with an actual doctor?
- Ah, no. No, we've decided to wait that out.
Dane thinks I'm becoming fixated on it.
Anyway, is Jenna interested in Love as a location?
- Well, I hope so. (chuckling)
Can't believe I didn't think of it sooner.
- Well, you were busy being distracted by a wild goose chase
or should I say, wild chicken chase? (chuckling)
Anyway, what about all those people that you've met?
How will they feel if Jenna does an exposé on their town?
- Well, sometimes as a writer
you just have to make tough decisions.
(mellow music)
(dishes clattering)
(bells chiming)
(gentle music)
Let me guess, my car isn't ready yet.
- I'm really sorry. But I've got a good feeling it's gonna be in tomorrow.
- That's fine. No rush at all.
- I thought you couldn't wait to get out of here.
- No, no, not at all. I love the place.
- Oh, I need a name for the order.
Um, did you say, Emma something?
- No, no. You must have misheard.
It's Jenna. Jenna Ashcroft.
- Hmm. Sorry.
Oh, I see you picked up one of Betty's finest.
Been waiting six months for mine. (scoffs)
- Oh, well, it is well worth the wait. Comfiest cardigan I've ever worn.
Now, tell me, Al,
have you ever visited the guardian of the well?
(chuckling)
(door creaking)
(knocking)
- Jenna.
- Yup. (chuckling) Ah, that's me.
My car still isn't ready
so I thought I'd do some more exploring if Riley has time.
- Oh, I'm sure he can make time.
He's just out delivering groceries.
- Groceries? - Oh, it's not his job.
He does it for the old ladies in town
who are not so steady on their feet.
He's got quite a list of people he looks after these days.
Why don't you wait for him?
- Oh, no, it's okay. I don't want to be a distraction.
- It would be a welcome one. Trust me.
(chuckling) - Okay.
So, um... What are you working on?
- Oh, I'm writing a report for the Most Welcoming Town Awards Committee
but it's proving more difficult than I expected.
- Mm. Have you made an outline?
I find that helps when I'm writing.
- I cannot believe that I am getting tips from a world-class author.
(chuckling) - Yeah, well, I guess so.
- I don't suppose you could help out a little bit,
um, take a look at what I got so far?
- I'm not really sure how I can help with that.
- You're experiencing the place for the first time.
Riley let slip you might feature us in your next book.
- Ah. Yeah. I don't know.
I'm not so sure about that just yet.
- Well, surely we're the ideal town for a guide.
You know what would look good in my report?
If you were to write a blog about the place.
We could have an event.
You could read from the book.
You could talk all about your time in Love.
- Mm. Why don't I help you with your report?
That's a start.
- Oh...
(softly): Okay...
- What's your verdict?
- Why don't we throw around a few more ideas?
Maybe not these ones.
(inhaling deeply) - Oh.
(cheerful music) (leaves rustling)
He made the whole batch of lemonade with no sugar.
(chuckling) - Really?
- His mom just smiled, drank a whole glass,
said it was the best lemonade she ever tasted.
- Aww, now that's love.
- Seriously, Dad, the lemonade story? I was seven.
- I'm just entertaining our VIP while she waits for you.
- What's all this?
- Oh, it's just a little project that your dad and I have been working on.
- I thought you'd be on your way by now.
-Yeah, so did I.
Turns out my car's not ready for another day,
so, I thought I'd see what the kind and thoughtful people of Love have to teach me.
- Well, I have work to do.
- Nothing that can't wait. - Dad--
- I was thinking maybe you can check out the animal sanctuary
and then maybe you'll show Jenna the Love Maze.
- Oh, Love Maze.
- I'm not sure. - That sounds fun.
Unless you're too busy delivering groceries.
- Nonsense. He'd be happy to show you around. Wouldn't you, Riley?
- Great. I'll grab my stuff.
Thanks, Mitch.
(footsteps receding)
- Remember, be nice. - I'm always nice.
- I'm serious. Jenna writing about Love
could make or break this award for us.
She's this close to writing a blog post. Don't blow it.
- Fine.
(birds chirping)
- So, I've got a question for you.
Why are you still here?
- What? - In Love.
Despite everything you say,
it's clear that you can't stand the place and all its charm.
- That is not true.
- Oh, please, you've barely smiled since I met you.
- Well, that as much to do with the company as it is with--
- All I'm saying is you could always leave.
There are roads out of here, you know.
- I thought about it. I always wanted to travel.
I planned this trip to Europe after college.
- Mm. Paris is stunning. Where did you end up?
- Here. I never travelled.
Never went to college or to Europe.
- Why not?
- My mom got sick.
- Well... it's never too late to start.
- That's easy for you to say.
- Oh, please.
You know, I barely travelled growing up when I was a kid.
That's why I'm so passionate about what I do now.
You know, you can always read about a place and feel like you've actually been there.
- So, what makes a good travel guide?
- Oh. (exhaling deeply)
When it's, uh... personal.
You know, when you read it
and you can not only see the places that they're visiting
but you feel like... you're there.
It's those kinds of books that can really make or break any destination.
- Oh, so you got a lot of power in those hands.
(chuckling) - Yeah. I guess I do.
Maybe you should be nicer to me then.
(birds chirping)
(exhaling deeply) I could have spent all day feeding those lambs,
they are so cute. - Well, yours was a lot more polite than mine.
- That's true.
I can't believe that couple have basically turned their house
into a hostel for hurt animals.
- Yeah. Jack and Chloe, they've got hearts of gold.
- Ah, everyone here really is lovely.
Present company excluded.
- Oh, well this isn't as cute as the animal sanctuary
but I used to come here a lot as a kid.
- So, this maze is actually in the shape of a heart?
- You didn't get that from the name of the Love Maze?
- All I have to do is come out on the other side?
- Yeah, but it's not as easy as it looks.
(chuckling) - Oh, keep up.
(serene music)
Jenna?
- Riley?
Riley?
- I think this is the wrong way.
- I'm telling you, follow the sun.
- Oh.
- You see? The sun's in the sky, I don't think it's much help.
(♪♪)
Ready to admit that you're lost?
- Nope.
- So what's the sun saying to you now?
(sighing) - That I need to take a break.
- Oh.
(exhaling deeply)
I have something.
- Oh. - Mm-hmm.
(clanking)
My mom's secret recipe.
- Thanks.
(tender music)
(birds chirping)
Ah, ooh, that's good.
So... when did she pass?
- Um , it will be ten years this fall.
Oh, you're not writing that down, are you?
(stammering) - Uh, no.
I just thought it might be good to get some background on the place.
- Oh, I'm the worst person to ask.
- But you're the mayor's son. Soon-to-be mayor--
- Mayor of Love. - Yeah.
(heartfelt music)
You know what, let's play a game.
- A game? - Mm-hmm.
- Oh. - Two truths and a lie.
I'll go first.
- Okay. - Um...
I am addicted to olives.
Uh, I am a championship chess player.
And I...
totalled my car last year.
- Easy, you can't play chess.
- High school champ for three years running.
- No way. - Mm-hmm.
- I was high school champion for four years running.
- Oh. - Mm-hmm.
- Mm. Well in a town like this I reckon there's a little less competition.
-Oh, well, maybe we should play a game sometime.
- You're on. - Okay. (chuckling)
- Oh, and I'm an excellent driver by the way. I've never even scratched my car.
- Oh, yeah. Just not too hot on directions.
- Touché.
(laughing)
Your turn.
- I once purposely set fire to a barn.
I have six toes on my right foot, I'm an only child.
- Okay, that's way too easy. You're not a fire starter,
you're an only child like me
and you obviously have ten toes like everyone else on the planet.
- Wrong.
- Prove it.
(scoffing) - You really don't want to see this.
- You're lying. You're lying.
- People from small towns have all kinds of quirks.
Okay, no-no, no. Okay, 'kay, you got me. 'Kay, fine, fine, you got me.
(chuckling)
Um, but I didn't purposely set fire to the barn.
I was trying to do something nice for my parents,
so I set up this candle lit dinner in the barn.
And then candles and hay don't really mix. (chuckling)
Everyone called me Fire Starter.
(chuckling) - Aww. - Yeah.
One of the bonuses of living in a small town, everyone hears everything.
- I'm sure it's not that bad, living in a small town.
- Everyone knowing your name and your business.
Your destiny being mapped out for you, Mayor of Love.
I don't know.
- It's better than just being a face in the crowd.
- Yeah, but that's not a problem for you.
I'm sure everyone knows your name. (chuckling)
- Yeah. That's true.
(upbeat cheerful music)
(exhaling deeply) - Is there a hotline we can call for lost?
- Are you finally ready to admit that you are lost?
- We're lost.
- You see, when I was little, my mom always said that if I ever got lost,
all I had to do was follow my heart and I would find my way home.
- I think that's a lot easier to do when you're a kid.
- Come on.
(upbeat music)
- What?! You knew the way out all along?
- I did say that but you said you wanted to follow the sun, so...
- Well, how about an official photo? - Oh, I'm good thanks.
- Oh, well, it would be a shame not to support the maze. Let's go.
Come on.
(chuckling)
Hi.
(upbeat music)
(sighing) Come on, you're gonna do this.
What would Jenna do?
Thanks for asking me to dinner.
- No problem, I thought we deserved to celebrate our victory over the maze today.
- Oh, thanks.
- It's not from me. That's Love Jam.
- Love Jam? - I know.
But a group of women here make it and wanted you to try some.
- Well, thank you. Can't wait to taste it.
- Spoiler: it tastes pretty much like regular jam.
(laughing)
Thanks.
Olive you.
Uh, it's a starter.
Olive you... - Oh, yeah.
- Olives and feta.
I thought it would be nice while we decide on dinner.
- Great, thank you.
(gentle music)
So, you've been chasing chickens again.
- Well, Mima's been struggling since her husband died.
That farm is a lot to handle on her own.
I actually have to fix the coop tomorrow.
- You know, you pretend to be this cynical guy who doesn't care about anyone or anything.
- Uh, there's no pretending.
- But you're running around helping old ladies out with their groceries
and chasing their chickens.
- That's all an average day in a small town where everyone knows where you live.
- Well, do you still think about leaving?
- Road trips are something you do after college. Not at our age.
- So, what do you do at our age? Become Mayor of Love?
- Ideally not. (chuckling)
- So... what's in between?
- I wish I knew.
- Me too.
- I think you're doing just fine.
- I just mean that it must be nice to have people to turn to.
- About that, my dad,
he would like to throw a mayoral breakfast for you.
- That sounds really great but I don't know how much longer I'm here for.
- Which is why he decided to throw it tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah. Having a famous author in town, doesn't happen every day.
So, he would like to mark the occasion
and maybe you could even sign some of your books?
(chuckling nervously) - I don't think people want me to sign their books.
- I know you usually only do that in the city
but there are a lot of people in town who would love your autograph.
And it would mean a lot to my dad.
- 'Course.
- Plus, it might help with the Awards Committee.
That award means the world to him.
- Anything I can do to help.
- Thanks. - Oh, mm.
(exhaling slowly)
Hi, I'm Jenna Ashcroft.
Jenna, please to meet you.
I'm a world-famous author and I'm fabulous.
Jenna, I'm sure you've heard all about me.
Thank you for coming to my book signing.
What are you doing?
(sighing)
(Molly on voicemail): Hey, good lookin', I'm too busy cookin'.
Leave a message after the beep.
(beeping) - Hey, Molly. It's me.
Yeah, I could really do with your advice.
Can you call me back?
(exhaling slowly)
(birds chirping)
Flowers? - It was my dad's idea.
- They're beautiful. And tulips are my favourite.
- I did remember you saying that.
You look nice.
- You don't look too shabby yourself. Almost good enough to be--
- Don't say it. - Surprise! Hi!
- Molly?
Uh, what are you doing here?
- Well, I thought I'd come visit the well.
Maybe meet this mystery man who has been keeping you here.
- There's no man. It's just my car. - Yeah, whatever you say.
- Okay, look, Molly, there's something that I need to tell you.
- Uh, Jenna? They're all waiting on you. - Jenna?
- Yeah, sorry, we're having a mayoral breakfast.
My dad is obsessed with having a famous author in town.
- Of course. I am used to it. Being the best friend.
(chuckling)
I have to tell you, I am already in love with your town.
- Oh, I've never heard that one before.
- It's good. - Yeah.
- Did you spend the whole journey coming up with that line?
- Well, we can't all be award-winning authors, Jenna.
- Touché.
(gentle music)
(indistinct chattering)
- Everybody, Jenna Ashcroft.
(crowd applauding)
- Just one minute.
- Lookin' good. - Thanks.
- So, Jenna...?
- It was an accident. - Mm-hmm. I'm sure it was.
I'm always accidentally introducing myself as J Lo, so...
- Okay, fine.
Maybe I did go along with it.
But I was literally stuck in a town where all people talk about is love.
Which, as you know is my idea of personal hell.
(scoffing)
Plus, it was nice, you know.
To have people actually looking up to me for once.
- Come on, people do look up to you.
- Like who? - Me, for one.
- Hey, you're my best friend, you have to say that.
- You don't have to pretend to be someone else to get respect.
- Well, either way,
I didn't correct them and now it has gone way too far.
I mean, look at all of this.
- I think it's sweet.
- Yeah, maybe if I was Jenna.
People have books for me to sign. Books! What am I gonna do?
- Just... sign the books?
- Well, what if Jenna finds out that I impersonated her?
- How would she? Jenna's off jet-setting around the world.
She's not gonna care what goes on in some backwater town.
- I just think-- - Jenna? Sorry to interrupt.
My dad asked me to gather everyone together for the speeches.
- Speeches? - We'll be right there.
- Yeah.
(tense music)
- Okay. There's nothing you can do about this right now.
So just enjoy the limelight for once.
Okay, you work hard enough.
You deserve this just as much as Jenna.
(crowd clapping)
- And I don't have to tell you what an absolute honour it has been
to have this wonderful young woman in our town.
Jenna, we've all taken you into our hearts
and I hope you've taken our little town into yours.
I cannot wait to read what wonderful things you write about your experience in Love.
And now if you would all join me in a toast to Jenna Ashcroft,
honorary resident of Love.
(all): Cheers.
(crowd applauding)
(cheerful music)
- And here you go. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- I meant every word of that speech I read.
And it's been an honour and a pleasure having you here.
And between you and me,
I haven't seen Riley this happy since before his mom passed.
- This is Riley happy?
- You should see him normally.
(laughing)
He's upbeat now, he's positive.
- Oh, well, I'm sure that I have nothing to do with that.
- He's even talking about taking a trip.
Honestly, I can't thank you enough.
- No, no. I should be thanking you.
You've made me feel so welcome here.
Ah, reminds me.
Here.
It's just some ideas.
For your report for the Awards Committee.
- You didn't have to do that. - Oh, I wanted to.
And as soon as I'm done my blog, I'll give you a copy to attach as well.
- I hope you come back and visit us again.
Jenna, the door is always open.
- Thanks.
Hi.
Christine, okay.
(pensive music)
- You all right?
- How can I be?
I made such a mess of everything.
- It will be okay.
- You know, I just wanted to prove to myself that I could be like Jenna.
But she'd never let her personal life get in the way of a story.
- Yeah, but you're not really Jenna.
You're my brilliant, compassionate, talented friend.
- When they find out the truth, Mitch and Riley are going to be really hurt.
- You can make this right. I know it.
- How?
They're expecting Jenna to write a rave review about their town.
Not some exposé about how it's all nonsense
and they're giving people false hope.
- All you need to do is follow your heart.
And be kind to yourself for once.
- Thanks, Molly.
(birds chirping)
(footsteps approaching) - Wow.
This place is stunning.
- Has the wow factor, that's for sure.
(chuckling) - How'd you sleep?
(exhaling deeply) - I didn't.
Kept thinking about coming clean to Riley and his dad.
- Are you gonna do it?
- Well, I was.
But this morning I had an idea.
How I can fix this.
You know Mitch and Riley are expecting
to read a blog post about Love written by Jenna, right? - Yeah.
- Well, I can totally give that to them. They don't need to read that on her website.
I can just send the committee a paper copy.
- Okay...?
- Also, I was panicking
because they are expecting to read about their town in Jenna's next book.
But you know,
Love actually is an interesting town to write about.
And Jenna's nearly offered me my own chapter, so...
I just need to prove myself.
And then I can write about Love, but in a kind way.
No one gets hurt.
- I thought Jenna wanted serious journalism.
- Yeah, well.
I have to make this work somehow.
- Well, you could try telling them the truth.
I know Riley really likes you.
- He likes Jenna, the famous author.
- I'm sure that's not true.
- I know what I'm doing, Molly.
Oh, you know he says he has somewhere cute to show us today.
- Yeah, actually, do you mind if I just take a raincheck?
- You okay?
- Yeah, just a bit tired.
And I have some orders to do for the bakery, so...
- Molly.
- I only really came here to visit you.
And the well but it's the guardian's day off.
- Dane messaged me.
- Did he? - Mm-hmm.
- Hmm. - You didn't tell him you were coming here?
- I left him a note on the fridge.
(scoffing) - You know this is kind of a far way to come
just to check in on a friend.
- Yeah, well it's a good thing I did.
- I think you should come with us today.
It will be fun. (giggling)
- No, you should have the time. Just the two of you.
You know, think of it as a chance for Riley to get to know the real you.
Even if you do keep calling yourself, Jenna.
(vehicle door closing) - Thanks.
- Hey, ladies.
- Hey. - What's the latest on your car?
- Still not ready. Should we head off?
- I'm gonna take a raincheck but you have fun day.
- Where we off to? - Oh, it's a surprise.
- Oh, hmm. Okay.
(serene music)
Wow. This is so beautiful.
- Yeah. - The water's so clear.
- It's pretty special.
I used to come here a lot when my mom passed.
It's also how the town got its name. Love.
- But it isn't heart-shaped.
It's probably the only thing in this town that isn't.
- Well, it was originally. But then, as time passed,
weathering, soil erosion and all that kind of changed it into a more regular shape.
But it's still the heart of the town.
- Then I like that story more than if it was heart-shaped.
- You want to take a closer look?
- Yeah. Let's do it.
- Yeah.
- So, one day soon this will all be yours.
- What do you mean?
- Well, isn't that how being mayor of Love works?
- Ah, not quite.
- Well, everyone I talk to makes it seem like a done deal.
- Yeah, pretty much everyone in this place expects me to be mayor. Including my dad.
- But not you?
- I guess it just hasn't been the same since my mom died.
- You must miss her a lot.
- Yeah, and then some. - Mm.
- I mean, I used to believe in this place and its myths.
There's nothing my heart wanted more than for my mom to stay with us.
Besides, I've never travelled outside the state,
how can I expect to run a town when I've hardly seen the rest of the world?
I bet that sounds pretty lame to someone like you.
- No, not at all.
- Come on, I bet you're on and off planes every month.
(chuckling) - As if.
Cost of flying abroad is so expensive.
- I'm sure that doesn't matter to someone like you.
- Looks so inviting. I wonder how cold it is.
- You thinking about going for a swim?
- No, just dip my feet.
(chuckling) - It's colder than it looks.
- Oh, are you chicken? - No.
- Or maybe you don't want me to see that extra toe you've got.
(inhaling sharply) - Oh, you didn't!
(serene music continues)
- Sit? - Yeah.
(sighing)
- So, how'd you get into all this? Travel writing?
If your parents didn't take you anywhere as a kid?
- Well, I always loved the thought of travelling.
I just was kind of reluctant to go for it properly.
Then something happened.
I had my heart broken by a guy. It's so original, I know.
He um, left me at the altar.
It sounds so dramatic, I hate talking about it.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no-no, it's okay. It happened a while ago now.
So, I started a travel diary to get over it all.
I decided to fall in love with a new place every week
instead of a new man.
So I'm sure you can see why I'm such a cynic now.
- Well, I think you got the last laugh,
'cause I'm sure he's kicking himself at how successful you are.
(chuckling) - Yeah.
- Whoa! You want to place that game?!
(laughing)
- Oh, it is on!
- You're a good splasher.
Hey!
(laughing)
(gentle music)
- I see you lookin'.
- Don't flatter yourself.
- Jenna is brilliant.
- Yeah, she really is.
- You know, son. If you really want something, you gotta go out there and grab it.
- Okay, Dad, not another lecture.
- I'm just saying. Jenna would make a brilliant partner.
- I'm sure she would. But I don't even know if I'm cut out to be mayor.
- Son, the people in this town are ready to put their faith in you.
You just gotta let them know that's what you want.
- And that's the problem, I don't know what I want.
- Can't keep coasting.
- I'm not coasting.
- You're a handyman.
- I do a lot more than that.
- All right, you're a handyman that delivers groceries to old ladies in his down time.
Is that really what you dreamed of for your life?
- Well, the plan was to go to college but then everything with Mom put a stop to that.
- It's been almost 10 years since your mom passed.
- It still feels like yesterday.
- Yeah, you don't have to tell me, Son.
Not a day goes by when I don't think of her.
And I'll even talk to her on most days.
But she, more than anyone,
she would say you can't keep looking backwards.
- And I'm not.
- It's time to carpe diem, seize the reins of the day.
- Okay, Dad. I get it.
I'm sorry.
It has been fun hanging out with Jenna
but she's a hotshot author from the city.
As soon as her car's fixed,
she's gonna be out of here and everything will go back to the way it was before.
- Is that so?
You know, I saw Al this morning.
He told me Jenna's car parts got in two days ago.
(water trickling)
(bells chiming)
(giggling) - Whoa.
This looks just like it did in the photos.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, which one of us should go in first?
- Wait, what?
- To see the guardian.
- Oh. Yeah, no.
I'm not gonna see her but you totally should. Yeah.
- Well, I think it's important that we both experience this.
- Mm, well, it's not really my thing.
- Well, do it for me then.
- Fine. If it means that much to you.
But you can go first.
- 'Kay.
(heartfelt music)
- So, Molly, why don't you tell me why you're here?
- I want a baby. So badly but it's just not happening for us.
- It must be really hard. - It has been.
I mean, I know how lucky I am. I have an amazing husband
and a really successful business.
- I sense a but coming.
- But... I can't imagine my life without being a mom.
It's like the missing piece.
- That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself.
- Yeah, I guess.
(exhaling deeply)
- Would you like to drink from the well now?
- Yeah.
(sighs)
(gulping)
- Sorry.
I don't feel any different.
- It's not magic, Molly.
You know, sometimes we have to see everything we do have
in order to open our hearts for anything new.
- Thank you.
(bells chiming)
(birds chirping)
- What did she say to you?
- She's ready for you.
- Okay.
- So...
- I'm not sure why I'm here, to be honest.
- Here in this house or here in Love?
- Both.
Tastes like regular water.
(laughing) - What were you expecting?
(chuckling) - I don't know.
I'm sorry, it's just... it isn't for me.
- You're right.
You already have everything your heart desires.
- Do I?
- You're stronger than you know.
Emma.
(gentle music)
(bells chiming)
- You okay?
- Yeah.
She um, asked to speak to you.
(windchimes tinkling)
(gentle music)
- It's good to see you. It's been a long time.
- I've been busy.
- Sometimes, we have to make time.
- Look, I don't mean to be rude
but we both know if this actually works, my mom would still be here.
I came here so many times when she was ill.
- You know it doesn't work like that.
- How does it work?
Because I feel like I'm surrounded by people who believe in this place
and I can't.
Not anymore.
- Your mom would be so proud of you.
The man you've become.
- I'm not so sure of that.
- So, what did she say to you?
- Just what I needed to hear.
- She's upset you.
Molly, this woman, she's just a busy body.
- No-no, no-no, no, she helped me.
- How?
- She just made me see how fixated I've become.
You know, I've stopped appreciating the things I do have.
My business, Dane.
- I had no idea.
- Yeah, well, Dane's been trying to tell me how unhappy he is lately
but I've not been able to listen.
- Oh, Molly. That's not your fault.
- No, maybe not. But if I spent more time focusing on what I do have
instead of what's missing,
maybe I'd be happier too.
- What are you saying?
- I just... I need to invest in me and Dane.
You know, find ways to be happy just the two of us.
And if that includes a kid, then great. (chuckling)
But if not, that's fine too.
- Molly, I'm so happy for you.
I'm so glad that coming here has helped you.
- Yeah. What about you?
- What about me?
- Well, what did the guardian say to you?
(exhaling deeply) - Just something she must have read in a fortune cookie.
(chuckling)
- You ready to get going?
- What did the guardian say to you?
- She's an old friend of my mom's. She was just checking in.
- Oh. - Where to next?
- Oh, well, I just called Dane. He's on his way here.
- Oh. - Oh, you wanted to show him the sights?
- It would be nice to spend some time together outside of the city.
I mean, it's so romantic here. (chuckling)
Love really is in the air.
(gentle music)
Thank you so much for coming in.
Just one second.
Wow, is this still going on?
- There is a lot riding on this game. Whoever loses buys dinner.
(Molly): Ooh.
(playful music)
- What?
- Nothing.
(cell phone buzzing)
- How long are you guys going for?
- Oh, just taking each day as it comes.
Feels like forever since we've done that.
But the lake sounds great.
- And how about you?
You must want to get straight off once your car's fixed?
- Oh, no. Al called and he said it will be a day or two still.
- That must be really frustrating for a busy woman like you.
- It's just one of those things. - Yeah, one of those things.
- Maybe we could do some more sightseeing.
- Ah, yeah. I have to stop by Town Hall for a bit
but maybe we can meet after that, an hour or so?
- Sounds great. That's check.
- So it is, yeah.
(doorbells chiming)
(grass rustling in the wind)
(Jenna): I always say, make every setback an opportunity.
That's how I've made myself a success.
Did you know I never travelled till I was 25?
And look at me now.
(laptop clicking)
(somber music) - I think you've got some explaining to do.
- I'm sorry.
- Not here. My dad's gonna be back soon.
This is gonna crush him.
- So... how did you figure it out?
- My dad emailed Jenna on that first day.
She just got back us and said that she was declining the tour.
Which I thought was a joke at first but then you didn't mention it
so replied to Jenna and she told us that you'd never visited Love.
- You replied to her email? Why would you do that?
- Because I didn't know you were lying.
- Well, I wasn't lying. I just, I didn't correct you.
It's the same thing you did to me when you pretended--
- I misled you for an afternoon about being mayor, that is not the same thing.
- No, I know.
(exhaling deeply) I'm sorry.
- And that's not all you've lied about.
Apparently, your car's been fixed for days.
You just wanted to humiliate us more or--
- No, no. I lied about my car because...
because I wanted to spend more time getting to know you.
- Except, we don't know each other, do we?
I don't even know your name.
- It's Emma.
I did tell you that the first day we met.
- Do you know where my dad is right now?
He's in a meeting with the Awards Committee for the Most Welcoming Town,
telling them all about your visit... sorry, Jenna Ashcroft's visit.
I mean, how could you do that to him, to me?
- No, I have been helping him. - I trusted you.
I told you things that I've never told anyone.
- Me too. You know, everything I told you was true.
Well, most of it anyway.
- Why did you lie to me?
- Because...
I wanted to be someone, for once.
I do know Jenna Ashcroft.
And I am scouting locations for her next book
but I'm not a famous author.
I'm just... her assistant.
The one in the background that no one ever notices.
- Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?
- No.
- You know, I'm sure Jenna would be interested to hear
that you've been impersonating her. - You can't tell her.
- Why, 'cause it might mess with your life?
- No. Because you have no idea...
You have no idea what it's like to feel invisible.
You've always been someone.
The Mayor's son, the Mayor in waiting.
You have no idea what it's like
to have people not even remember your name.
For someone to...
literally not care about you enough to leave you at the altar.
- And my life is just so easy, right?
You know, my life is mapped out.
Become Mayor, find a good woman,
keep the Taylor name on top of Love.
Do you know how suffocating that is to never have a choice?
- I'm sorry. - I don't need your pity.
What are we supposed to tell my dad?
- You don't have to tell him anything because I have a plan.
I'm gonna write about-- - I don't want to hear your plan.
Just get in your car and go. Emma, whatever your name is.
(somber music)
(phone vibrating, beeping)
- Hey, Molly.
Look, I'm really sorry to ruin your romantic day with Dane
but yeah, I could really use a friend right now.
Yeah. Okay, see you there in 20.
Thank you.
(beeping)
(door creaking)
- Hey, Dad?
- Jenna not with you?
- There's something I need to tell you about Jenna.
(dishes clattering)
- One "mocha me crazy" and a "muffin compares to you."
- Thank you. - Enjoy. - Thanks.
- Are you trying to rub it in?
- I'm sure if you talked to him you can fix this.
- You didn't see how angry he was.
- Well, maybe he just needs time to wrap his head around it.
(scoffing) - No. No, I've blown it.
I should just pack up my stuff and leave.
Hope he hasn't called Jenna. - Oh, no, he wouldn't.
- Molly, I messed everything up.
And here you are when you should be on a romantic picnic with Dane.
- Yeah, um... We abandoned that.
I was really sick.
(uplifting music) - You're not...
(tearfully) - Yup. We did a test before.
(gasping) - You're having a baby.
- Shhh. I want to keep it a bit quiet.
Just until we're used to it.
- Sorry but that is the absolute best news ever, Molly.
(crying joyfully) - I just needed to see what I had.
- I wonder if I'll ever have what you've got.
- Well, you're welcome to Dane. I mean, he's already driving me crazy with baby facts.
- No, I'm being serious.
You and Dane, that's so special.
- Know what I think.
Ever since you came here and met Riley,
he's all you've been able to talk about.
Maybe love is staring you in the face.
- Is that another one of your Love puns?
- No, nope. I mean it.
He's cute. You could do a lot worse.
- Mm. You should see him with his shirt off.
- Um, what? You've seen him-- - No, never mind.
- Mm-hmm. - Anyway...
it's too late. He told me to leave and yeah, I should.
Let's see if I have a career left
or if he made good on his promise to out me to Jenna.
- Well...
At least we have cake.
- We always have cake.
- So, it was all a lie.
(somber music)
Aren't you gonna say something, Dad?
- Seems to me that Emma is a young woman who is desperate to impress.
- That's it?
Why aren't you angry? I mean, she conned both of us.
- That makes it sound malicious
and from what you've said, I don't think it was.
Maybe she just wanted to feel like she mattered for once.
Surely, you can understand that?
- I don't care why she did it. She made fools of us both.
- She also wrote us a pretty brilliant report
that could just swing this contest our way.
Not to mention, this blog post...
She's not a best-selling writer yet
but she will be one day.
- So, that's it? That's all you gotta say?
- Son, this isn't about Jenna or Emma,
this is about you.
- How can you say that?
- Seeing you these past few days, with Emma,
it's...
it's made me realize that maybe I've been pushing you too hard.
Pressuring you down a road, you don't want.
You don't have to be mayor.
Love will get on just fine without you.
But you do have to decide what you want from your life.
But first...
Why don't you take a read of this, before you do anything rash,
like contacting Emma's boss...
(cell phone chiming)
(birds chirping)
(footsteps approaching)
- Emma?
- Hi.
- Hey.
- I'm just leaving.
Look, I'm...
I'm really sorry about everything.
- Me too.
- Did you contact Jenna?
- I did but it's not what you think.
I explained the confusion was all me.
- I don't understand.
- Well, I told her that I met her assistant
and she had a good story to write about Love.
- Why would you do that?
I lied to you, I pretended to be somebody else.
- I think we all pretend to be someone else sometimes.
And try and make others do the same.
- I really didn't mean to hurt you.
- You know, my mom used to say
that the most powerful thing you can show someone is the real you.
Because no one can be more than who you are.
- I need to tell you something else.
Jenna's new book, yeah, it's not really a travel guide.
It's about exposing myths of towns like Love.
- I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
(heartfelt music)
(keyboard clacking)
(Emma): When it comes to myths and legends,
what matters is the story behind them.
Do they exist to trick people
or to help them to see what's within themselves?
- You know, a wise man once told me
that every day in Love is an adventure.
And that couldn't be more true.
So, even if you come for its myths,
you'll get so much more than that.
Its history, its scenery,
its natural beauty...
Or the welcoming people that choose to call this place home.
And one thing that I am sure of
is that like me, you will fall in love with Love.
(crowd applauding)
- Jenna, you came.
- I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
- So, what did you think of my chapter?
- It was a good first draft.
- I know it needs some work.
- It's got heart. That matters more than anything.
You made it personal and it inspired me
to find the true stories behind these towns.
- If you like, I can show you around.
- I actually have found my own tour guide.
Maybe I might find a little love in Love.
- Good for you.
(giggling)
(squealing) - Ah! That was beautiful.
- Thank you.
- I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you, Molly.
Hey, have you seen Riley by any chance?
- Uh, he was around here.
Oh.
- I actually have another announcement to make,
which my dad doesn't know yet.
But Love has been declared the Most Welcoming Town in the State for the 21st year running.
So... congratulations, Dad.
(crowd applauding) - Thank you.
- So, you got any plans after this?
- Nothing really, you?
- Uh... I have an idea.
- You're gonna finally, do it?
Become Mayor of Love?
(chuckling) - I haven't decided.
I was thinking maybe I'd take that trip.
- Good for you.
- And that maybe I could use a travel companion.
Oh, and um...
(tender music) - What's this?
- We never did finish that game of chess.
- Well, we'll have plenty of time on the plane.
Maybe we can even write the sequel.
(romantic music)
