All language subtitles for A Vineyard Romance (2021) (NetNaija.com)

The cloud-like texture
and classic rose color

conjures up the most
perfect summer day

of crystal blue ocean
and sunset skies.

It's beautiful, Sam !
It's poetic.

It's about prawn cocktail
and cashew brie.

Still, no one writes food
pairing trends like you.

I can romance canapés
in my sleep.

But what I really need
is something big.

Like a twelve course,
Italian-style dinner,

with that little dessert
in the middle ?

What's that called again ?

Like a story that
will capture the hearts

of Winslow House Publishing.

They are the name
in romance novels.

A palate cleanser,
that's what its called !

Delicious.

If I can get a Wedding Belle
Magazine cover story,

I might actually have
a shot at getting

my first romance
novel published.

How's that novel coming, anyway ?

I worked on it all last night.

- Again ?
- Yeah, I can't seem to finish.

It's like something's missing,
but I can't put my finger on it.

I'm just hitting
a creative block.

Maybe you need to focus
on you for a change.

You work so hard
and spend so much time

writing about other
characters falling in love.

You don't leave any time
for your own love story.

Dating is too much
of a distraction

and I am perfectly
happy on my own.

Well, don't lose faith.

You will be the next
Isabella Laurence someday.

The next installment of
the Hopeful Romantic series ?

Where did you get this ?

I never reveal my sources.

My life is made !

In my office, please.

Go get them !

Come on in, have a seat.

Two words: Heather Brookes.

As in the wildly famous
social media influencer

and daughter of New York
real estate mogul,

Henry Brookes ?

I want you to cover Ms. Brookes'
destination wedding.

Amazing. Where am I going ?

Italy ? Paris ? Monaco ?

A private Caribbean island ?

Everlasting Vineyards.

Please tell me there's
an Everlasting Vineyards

in the South of France ?

Everlasting !

It's in Everlasting, Oregon.

Oh, there must be
some kind of mistake

because I'm actually
from Everlasting, Oregon

and I can assure you.

There is nothing romantic
there, but the name.

Oh, well that's perfect.

Which part?

It's perfect that you're
from Everlasting.

You'll have the first hand intel

on the hottest bachelorette
brunch spots with vegan options.

There's nothing like that there.

See, I moved from there
a few years ago

and while I visit
from time to time,

what I actually prefer,

is if my best friend
and my family

come to visit me here.

In Seattle.

Are you avoiding something ?

Is that how it sounds ?

Or someone ?

I just think Everlasting
will be a disappointment.

There's nothing Wedding Belle
Magazine worthy there.

You said you wanted a cover
story, this is your chance.

If you can make a Wedding Belle
cover story out of this,

you can do anything.

Flight leaves tomorrow.
Article's due in two weeks.

Are you still here ?

Are you Liam Hawthorne ?

That I am, little man.

You're my favorite baseball
player of all time !

Can you sign this ?

Oh yeah, of course buddy.

What's your name ?

Cooper.

You gonna come to baseball
tryouts this weekend, Cooper ?

Yes, I'm really excited.

Awesome.

Have a good day, guys.

I can't believe it !

My daughter is home
for two whole weeks.

Never thought I'd see the day,
not that I'm complaining.

I thought you loved coming
to visit me in the city.

I love any excuse
to be with you.

And to shop.

How else would I outdress the
ladies at our weekly brunch ?

You know your mother,
she's a city girl like you.

But she fell in love with the

Mayor of a small town.

And I wouldn't change
it for the world.

You two are just
as adorable as ever.

It's great to have
you home, sweetheart.

Come in, make yourself at home.

You know what ? I'm going
to come in for a quick tea

and then I have to get going.

I want to surprise Julie and I
just want to get a head start

on this Everlasting
Vineyard article.

About that...

If you're going to bring up
what's-his-name--

Liam Hawthorne ?

I prefer to call him
what's-his-name.

Of all the vineyards
in all the world

I end up at this one, I know.

What a coincidence.

But you should probably know

It's fine, Mom.

Thank you for caring,
but that's in the past.

It's been so many years
since I've seen him.

I have no intention
of stirring it up

now that I'm back for a bit.

I'm just going to write
my article and wow my boss,

and become the romance novelist
I was always meant to be.

It is strictly business.

Sounds like you've got
everything all mapped out.

We're so proud of you.

Are you going to
be home for dinner ?

I can't wait.

Is my bike still in the garage ?

Dad fixed the flat this morning.

Of course he did !

Oh, I missed you guys !

It's so good to see you.

Okay, how's that ?

It's slightly
crooked, isn't it ?

Not if you tilt
your head like that.

But tell you what.

If you've got a level,
I can make this work.

A level ? I have one in the back.

- Let me show you.
- Lead the way.

Oh, I'm so...

Oh, let me... I got this.

Those are...

Those are yours, and...

Still walking and
reading, I see ?

Old habits die hard.

It's a pretty
irresponsible habit.

Not to mention, dangerous.

You could walk into traffic
and not even know it.

Traffic ? In Everlasting ?

It just takes one car.

Well, it's a good thing
I take the sidewalk.

What are you doing back
in Everlasting ?

I was going to ask
you the same thing.

I live here.

You do ?

Oh, one more page.

"Lady Jane longed for his touch,

it felt like an eternity
since it was written..."

Has no one ever told you
that it's rude to spy ?

I wasn't spying,
I was just reading.

What happens now ?

Now, I'm late for a meeting.

No, I meant with
Lady Jane there.

I haven't written
that part yet.

What's so funny ?

You just...

You got...

Just a petal.

But you haven't changed a bit.

Is that so ?

Yeah, might wanna try looking
up every once and a while.

Thank you for that advice.

If you'll excuse me...

Oh, if you'll excuse me.

- You're excused.
- Have a great day.

You too.

Welcome to Birds and Bees.

How can we make your floral
dreams come true today ?

Wow, that is quite
the mouth full.

It's a bit much, isn't it?

I'm working on a new greeting.

Look at how you've turned
this place around.

Honestly, I couldn't have
done it without Aleks' help.

Hey Sam, how are you ?

I'm great.

Okay, found the level.

It's a little small,
but it'll work.

I gotta go.

What are you doing here ?

You'll never guess.

You have come to toast
your very best friend

on her grand re-opening,

and you brought a handsome
city boy as your date ?

Exactly! Minus the date.

And also, I've been assigned
a potential cover story.

What ? That's amazing !

On Everlasting Vineyards.

Oh, that's not amazing.

Because of Liam ?

Yeah, you know ?

Yeah, I literally
just ran right into him.

It's fine.

Yeah, I don't even want
to talk about it.

Of course you don't.

What happened between us
is ancient history.

Here's the thing...

Julie, I have moved on.

I just want to write my article

and toast my amazing best friend
on her grand re-opening.

I'm so excited to see you.

Me too !

Okay, I have to head
to the vineyard,

but I'll come by later ?

Sounds great.

Wow, she's handling the news
about Liam pretty well, I'd say.

Yeah, I don't think she knows.

Of course I want
to make that happen,

but I'm going to need
Heidi's hairstylist

if I'm going to achieve
that kind of volume.

Are these all the samples
you could find ?

I'll have more shipped.

Okay honey, I'll
talk to you later.

Wow, there's really
good lighting in here.

Chase ? Snap for social.

Hi, would you mind helping
us with the photo ?

Hold the samples ?

He knows my best angles.

He does this literally all day.

Chase, okay.

Okay great, one of
those will work.

Where would you like these ?

Anywhere is fine.

Wait! I'm Sam Hart from
Wedding Belle Magazine.

Why didn't you say
anything before ?

I'm Heather Brookes,
bride-to-be.

We are so excited
to have you here !

We are such big fans
of Wedding Belle Magazine.

I'm Chase.

This is my assistant, Chase.

I just said that !

Let's get a photo !

Smile, but just close
your mouth.

Chase, no.

It's the photographer again.

Try to talk him down from
five assistants to three.

Sorry, my fiancé
is going to lose it

if I can't get
these numbers down.

Wow, Sam Hart !

I'm actually a really
big fan of yours.

Reading artisanal food and wine
pairings is my secret obsession.

Wedding Belle Magazine is so excited
to be doing this article.

We are huge fans of
your Instagram account.

Your content is so fresh,

it's like anything
you do goes viral.

I cannot tell you how
many of my followers

are already using the hashtag
Boutique Vineyard Wedding Chic.

That's great.

I am thrilled to be here.

I can't wait for you
to meet the groom.

Tell me about the lucky guy.

Well, he is all the things.

Smart, handsome, total dream.

And he's very photogenic.

You are going to love him.

Sam, this is my handsome
groom, Liam Hawthorne.

You're the...

The groom, yeah.

I'm sorry, do you two
know each other ?

I grew up in Everlasting, so...

Yeah, we kinda go way back.

It was a long time ago.

Yeah, it was high school.

So far back I can
hardly remember.

College.

It's ancient history.

You're here doing the article ?

Honey, I told you
Wedding Belle Magazine

was sending a writer
to do the article.

Pardon me, it's New York.

So you're getting married ?

Getting married.

And you're doing the article ?

I am, I am doing the article.

Great...

Well, you look good.

What's that supposed to mean ?

Nothing, you just look grown up.

Well, it has been
a really long time.

Don't do that.

Do what ?

That thing where you smile,
but you mean something else.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Excuse me. It's so rude,
but you know how it is.

When New York calls, you
have to answer, am I right ?

Come, let me show you
the vineyard.

Well, she's actually seen
the vineyard before.

It's been ages, I'm sure
a lot has changed.

I wish it would change more.

I can show you the places

where we're doing
the individual events.

The vineyard is the
perfect backdrop for photos.

I'm so sorry, I'm going to go
make a really quick phone call.

Oh, by all means.

Go for it.

I love her, she's perfect.

Hi, I can't do the article.

And why on earth not ?

Because I have personal
history with the groom.

It's a conflict of interest.

And he's someone I used to date.

And I think I need to back out.

How about an article
about a flower shop ?

Did you think that writing
a Wedding Belle cover story

was going to be easy ?

No, of course not

Then you need to put your personal
differences aside and deliver the story.

Write the story, or lose
the best opportunity

Wedding Belle Magazine
has ever offered to you.

If you're nodding,
I can't see you.

Are you nodding ?

I just...

- I can't...
- Who's that ?

It's looking like we're going to
need to invite a few more people.

Okay. A few more, like five ?

A few more, like 50 ?

50 ? Come on, I thought
we said 50 guests max.

I know, but I've already
sent out invitations,

I can't un-invite people.

I guess not, but
I just don't know

if the vineyard can
handle that many people.

There are some very important influencers
and industry people attending.

Not to mention Jake Jacobs

essentially postponed
fashion week for us.

Yeah, Jake Jacobs... right.

Look, I know these people
don't mean much to you,

but they mean the world to me.

I just want this wedding
to be perfect.

So do I.

Sorry about that.

When Seattle calls, you
gotta take it, am I right ?

I don't...

You know what? We will see
each other tomorrow.

I would love it if we
could get an early start.

Sounds great.

Perfect.

Are you sure you're okay
to take your bike home ?

Liam could give you a ride.

I'm fine thank you.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

I've got practice.

Okay, have fun.

Chase !

Sam ? You've got company.

I was completely
caught off guard.

How did no one tell me
that Liam was the groom ?

I think we tried.

- You did ?
- A few times.

Really ? A few times ?

I thought this was my shot
at a cover story,

but now I don't think
I can pull this off.

Because Heather's
not right for him ?

No, she seems lovely.

Sure, just not who I thought
Liam would end up with.

You know he's only known her
for less than a year ?

None of my business.

I know, I'm just saying.

How am I supposed to write
an article about someone

I have this kind of past with ?

Did you talk about
what happened ?

Why not ? You guys were
always friends first.

Did it change that much
when you stared dating ?

I guess it changed when I got my
scholarship in San Francisco.

Right, and that's also when Liam

got recruited to play
ball in New York.

Yeah, we decided to take a
temporary break to pursue our dreams

and if we still felt the same way

about each other at
the end of the year,

we would meet back up at the
vineyard on our anniversary.

How romantic !

Sure, except I showed
up and he didn't.

How did you not tell me this ?

I didn't tell anyone.

I was embarrassed
and heartbroken.

You poor thing.

And then by the time I got
the courage to reach out,

I saw this picture
of him in the paper.

What picture ?

A picture of him with his
arm around another girl.

He had obviously moved on,
so I figured I should too.

That's when I got my
apartment in Seattle.

Last year, when
the fire happened

and I had to close the flower
shop, I was devastated.

I didn't know how I was going to
repair the damage and reopen again.

But courage comes
from unexpected places.

You're strong, Sam, but
you need to face your past.

I mean he's getting married now,
it doesn't really matter.

It does matter !

You've been holding onto this
with Liam for way too long.

Maybe it's time you
need to forgive him.

Forgive him ?

Let it go.

So you can continue
on your chosen path

and be the amazing writer you were born
to be and write the best cover story

Wedding Belle Magazine
has ever seen.

Of course I'm right !

Wait, which part
am I right about ?

I need to start fresh.
Forgive him.

Forgive Liam.
Easy peasy.

Well, it's not that easy.

Tomorrow I'm going
to close the chapter,

I'll leave it behind
and write the best article

Wedding Belle Magazine
has ever seen.

I noticed the back patio could
use a couple more planters,

so I'll go to the flower shop
today, pick some stuff up.

You want me to
grab you anything ?

From the flower shop ?

Yeah, I don't mind going.

I think I'm okay,
but Mom definitely loves

all the plants you added this year,
so I say go for it, bro.

Comin' in hot.

I'm gonna go.

I have something to say.

Okay, what is it ?

We're grown ups now, right ?

Yeah, last I checked.

And as grown ups, I think
we should act as such.

I would like to put the past
in the past, where it belongs,

and put the present
where it belongs

In the present ?

Yes, that's why they
call it... never mind.

I would like to move forward by saying
the thing that needs to be said.

The thing ?

Yes, and the thing is...

I want to move past our history

and write you a
wonderful article.

And... I forgive you.

You forgive me ?

Yes. You're welcome.

You know what ? Here's my thing.

You have a thing now ?

I didn't do anything wrong.

You essentially ghosted
our relationship

before ghosting
was even a thing.

Are you kidding me ?

You're the one
who became a ghost

when you didn't come
back to Everlasting.

I had a career I
was trying to pursue.

Okay well, congratulations !

Same to you.

Great, have a good day.

And that's just me letting
you in on a little secret

that I've never
told anyone before.

And as a Manhattan girl,

I never thought I would end up
in Everlasting, but here I am.

And here she is.

Sam is writing our Wedding
Belle Magazine article.

Say hi, Sam.

Alright, I will see everybody

for another live session
at 5pm. Kisses !

The life of a vlogger !

I am so excited to get started,

I have the perfect spot
for our interview.

Sounds great, lead the way.

Hang on.

Yes, he can bring
his private jet,

there's a landing strip
around here somewhere.

Well then you better
find one, mister !

So, this is where
we'll all be tasting

the "Heather and Liam Forever"
Wedding Blend.

It's perfect.

And these are my selects
for the wine label photos.

Oh wow, you look incredible
in every single one of them.

And there's this one, too.

I need the wedding
to be perfect.

I really need it
to wow my followers.

Well you couldn't have
picked a better venue.

I could never get tired
of looking at this view.

Yeah, it's beautiful, but quiet.

I never thought I'd say this,
but I miss the sound of traffic.

Oh, that is one thing
I do not miss !

How did you two meet ?

Well, Liam was in the majors
and he was such a rising star.

But when he got injured,
he came back to Everlasting

to recuperate and I visited him for a
summer and that is when I proposed.

Oh, you proposed to Liam ?

Why not, it's the
21st century, right ?

And plus if I hadn't
done it then,

who knows when he would've
ever gotten around to it.

You know men, they
don't know what they want

until it's right
in front of them.

I can't wait for our
honeymoon in St. Barts.

Did you know the only three
restaurants here close at 8pm ?

That's Happy Hour in New York.

I knew you and I were
gonna be fast friends !

Should we get started ?

So what was the inspiration

behind a boutique
vineyard wedding ?

Wedding Belle Magazine issue 36.

That French Vineyard
Farmhouse Wedding

has been on my dream board
since high-school.

I know the one.

Oh, it's the dress
designer. Do you mind ?

Not at all, go ahead.

Oh my gosh, you have
got to be kidding me.

Okay, I will get on
the next flight out.

Everything okay ?

There's been a dress emergency.

The vintage lace has literally
disintegrated in the alteration.

I am so sorry, but we're going
to have to re-schedule.

I need to get on a
plane immediately.

There you are !

Ah, well if it isn't
my favorite writer.

To what do I owe the pleasure ?

Need a hand ?

I think I'm good, but thanks.

Are you sure ?
Four's better than two.

Why do I get the feeling

there's something else
you want to ask me ?

I know we got off to
a bit of a rocky start,

but I really am happy for you

and I want this article
to be the best it can be

and since I lost the
bride for the moment,

what would be amazing is if I could
get an interview with the groom.

Not a chance.

It's an article about a wedding.

Half of the wedding
is in New York.

You're the other half.

The article is really
Heather's thing.

People love to
hear about the groom.

Well, people love mystery.

Not that much mystery.

Look, it's a painless
25 questions.

20 ? 15 ?

Look, even if I had
the time, which I don't,

I wouldn't give you the interview
because I can't, okay ?

Sure you can.

I can't, because Aleks and I

are getting the vineyard
ready for the wedding.

If there's no vineyard,
there's no wedding

and if there's no wedding,
there's no article.

Plus I'm really bad
with interviews.

That's because you haven't
interviewed with me yet.

Five questions ?

I'll think about it.

I'll take it.

You want a break, man ?

No I'm good, just
gonna keep working.

You know me, I could never
get enough of this view.

Oh man, I see it every day

and I don't think
I'll ever get sick of it.

Yeah, they don't have
all this in New York.

You good ?

I'm good, why ?

Oh, no reason.
Wait, there is a reason.

Sam ? Remember her, that
girl you're in love with ?

Don't.

Now she's back and
you're being weird.

- It's in the past.
- Oh, it's in the past ?

Okay, I'm just asking.

That's the second grape you've
thrown at me, by the way.

I'm keeping track.

Welcome to Birds and Bees.

How can we make your future pollination
supplier needs come true today ?

Too abstract ?
Still a mouth full.

It's not bad, but maybe
try something simpler.

Thought you could use
a midday coffee break.

Two sugar, two cream.

Just how I like it, thank you.

I cannot believe how much
you've accomplished.

You must spend all
of your time here.

You literally spend
all your time here.

Maybe it's time to find
some more balance.

Get back to dating ?

I don't know if I'm ready, man.

I know, but...

You know, it's been years
since Christie passed.

Yeah. And I know she'd want
me to start dating again.

She would. I mean, you'd
want the same for her, right ?

I don't like it
when you're right.

I don't hear that very often.

You know what doesn't
happen very often ?

Daisies and tulips in
the same arrangement ?

Yes, and also a wedding article
with no bride and no groom.

What happened ?

Bride got called to New York

and the groom refuses
to give me an interview.

Sounds like you need
to figure out

how to make the best use
of your time.

Is panicking an option ?

Because I have a week and a
half to get this thing done.

If only there was a way

you could trick Liam
into doing the article.

Oh, I tried.

He knows me too well.

What about an interview
with the best man.

A brother's perspective ?

Speaking of the best man,

I noticed Aleks has been
hanging around here a lot.

Yeah, he likes flowers.

She sells flowers,
we need to buy flowers.

We do need to buy flowers.

And planters and soil

and apparently everything
else in between.

Because the landscaping around
here has never looked better.

Yeah, you're welcome
for that, by the way.

Listen, Julie says
I have a green thumb.

Does she now ?

Yeah she does, okay ?

I see the way he looks at you.

Do you now ?

I think he likes you.

Likes-you, likes you.

It's like he's Mr. Darcy
and you're his Elizabeth.

Classic romance writer !

There's nothing
between Aleks and I.

Are you absolutely sure ?

Pretty sure.

That's not absolutely.

Plus, I don't think
he's ready to move on.

He still wears his wedding ring.

I mean, it's been six years
since his wife passed.

Still, I don't think
he's interested.

I think we're in
the friend zone.

Are you interested in
being outside the friend zone ?

Truly ?

Yes, I want to be outside
the friend zone.

I have such a crush on him,
I can't stand it.

I knew it !

I don't think she's interested.

Hey, we've become
decent friends.

She sure is easy to talk to.

I don't if that's a good thing.

It kind of sounds like
you're in the friend zone.

It does sound like
I'm in the friend zone.

You like her, right ?

Yes, I like her.

- So ask her out !
- But what if she says no ?

What if she says yes ?

- But what if she says no?
- What if she says yes ?

She's going to say no.

She might say yes !

Let's just say if he were to ask
me out, I'd probably say yes.

I know, he just makes my day.

Maybe the time is right.

Let's hope, he's
a really great guy.

Yes, he is.

Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne !

Welcome to Birds and Bees!

Nice to see you, Julie.

And Sam, we heard you
were in town.

It is so good to see you two.

It's been a long time !

Look at you, you
haven't changed a bit.

I could say the same about you.

We came to pick up flower
samples for Heather.

I'm afraid they're
not quite ready.

She just called and
changed them again.

I'll deliver them
myself tomorrow.

She does like to
change her mind.

Good thing she's settled
on just the one groom.

Would you like to come to dinner
at the vineyard tonight ?

I believe Liam will
also be joining us.

I can't tonight, but
thanks for the offer.

You know what ?

I would love to join
you for dinner.

Fantastic, we'll see you then.

We'll see you tonight.

You know, it's so nice
to see vineyard so busy.

I bet you the reeds
are down there.

Remember the talent night
you two put together ?

That's right.
Was it Memorial Day ?

It was the 4th of July.
I'll never forget it.

Yes, and you two sang
a version of

Chicago's "Saturday in the Park"

but Sam changed the words to
"Vineyard in the Park."

That's right. And
you were wonderful !

I sang off key.

Come on, you were perfect.
I sang off key.

That is not how I remember it.

You did get a standing ovation.
Remember that ?

He's right.

It seems like yesterday
the boys were little.

We had just taken over the
vineyard from George's parents

and now we're close
to retirement.

Time goes by so fast.

What is going to happen
to the vineyard

now that you two are
thinking about retiring ?

We are hoping that Aleks,
Liam and Heather

will carry on the
family tradition.

Okay, how does Heather
feel about that ?

We're working on it.

Sam, we are so thrilled for you
and your writing career.

It seems like it's
really taking off.

I am actually working on finishing a
novel, that's the real goal.

I'm hoping that this article

will be a bit of
a stepping stone.

You always had a gift for words.

In fact, we're still
using the brochures

that you wrote for the
vineyard back in college.

I think my writing skill has improved
since then, at least I hope it has.

You know what ? Our
New Special Reserve

could use a little "romancing".

Whoa, I think I romanced it
just fine, thank you.

Liam, you said so yourself !

I mean, I would love to.

Unless of course, you want
to keep what you've got.

Wouldn't that be wonderful ?

But I'm not doing
that interview.

Okay. Meet me here tomorrow
morning, bright and early.

- Can't wait.
- Can't you ?

Someone's chipper today.

I'm just on board and happy
about writing this article.

I think that's the
definition of chipper.

Would you like to
show me the wine ?

Easy tiger, okay ?

In order to understand and
appreciate our Special Reserve,

you need to see where
it all starts first.

We're not going inside ?

Not yet, come on.

My family has cultivated
this land for over 40 years

and now it produces some of
the finest grapes in the world.

What kind of grapes ?

Literally hundreds of varieties
of grapes used to make wine,

but here, we specialize in...

Pinot Noir, my favorite.

So this moody little grape
is very particular.

He likes to grow in climates that
are not too tropical and not too arid.

So the sweet spot is basically

between 30 and 50 degrees
latitude both north and south.

I'm beginning to understand

why you need a little romance
in your descriptions.

I can romance my descriptions,
thank you.

Can you, now ?

Yes, if I wanted to, yes.

Oh, please do.

This fine vineyard...

distinguishes itself with
two main characteristics.

The creative use of innovation,

and the orientation towards
tradition and quality.

Not bad.

What about this ?

The simple, rustic elegance
of Everlasting wine

create a canvas to discover
the perfect Pinot."

Wine grapes are very
bitter, don't eat that.

Come on.

I knew that.

George Hawthorne Sr., my grandfather,
who you may or may not remember,

was always very passionate
about winemaking.

But he was an engineer by trade,

so in 1965 he gave it all up
to start this winery.

My grandma used to joke
that he was just so stubborn,

just like the
Pinot grape itself.

Stubbornness runs
in your family ?

You don't say.

I have to say, you
are the last person

I ever thought I
would bump into here.

I had no idea you were back.

Yeah, I tore my
rotator cuff a year ago

and couldn't play ball anymore.

I was really sorry
to hear about that.

I know playing ball
meant a lot to you.

Yeah, but you know,
I had a good run.

Coming back here to
recover from my surgery,

it made me see that
this is the place for me.

It's home.

It's where my family
is and it's where

I want to give back
to my community.

I actually started
a little league team.

I don't know, maybe I can coach

the next baseball star
out of Everlasting.

If anyone can do it,
it's Liam Hawthorne.

Coming back here...

it made me fall in love
with this place all over again.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

The iron rich soil, and the
breeze and the marine climate,

it all contributes to...

The making of the perfect Pinot ?

You really light up when you
talk about the vineyard.

It's in my blood.

You coming ?

Try to keep up, Hemmingway.

Very funny.

So these barrels
were shipped here

from oak forests in France
by my grandparents.

They add subtle little notes to the wine.

And bring out the best profile
and character of the fruit.

How did you know that ?

I did my homework.

Where do you think you're going ?

The tasting room ?

The wine cellar. This way.

Can I take over ?

You wanna tell me
about the wine cellar ?

Take it away.

So here, we have
the wine cellar.

It is cold, not unlike a fridge.

It's not a fridge, but

I know it's not a fridge.

Wine needs to be stored between
13 and 18°, with no natural light.

Where's my prize ?

It's in the tasting room.

Finally.

I was born ready.

So, the first thing you want
to do is just look at the wine.

What do you see ?

A bright, ruby color.

But that is only the beginning

of the quintessential
Pinot experience.

You are one of the first people

to taste our new Special Reserve.

So you should feel very lucky.

Now swirl the wine.

I know this part.

Oh, the student becomes the teacher.

Shall we ?

Is Sam still here ?

Oh yeah, I think they're
in the tasting room.

Do you have any more perennials ?
(plantes vivaces)

Yes, I have shelves of them.

Just waiting to get scooped up.

Oh great, I'll scoop
them then. That's terrific.

I will have absolutely no trouble
romancing this description.

Thanks for helping me with this.

You're welcome.

I feel just like you
understand the history

and the tradition of
this place, you know ?

Yeah, we had a lot of really
great times here, didn't we ?

Listen, about what happened
between us, I just want to say

I have the flower samples
for Heather and I'd say hello.

Not at all, we were just
tasting the Special Reserve.

Yeah, do you want a glass ?

Oh, twist my arm.

Liam, it's so nice
to see you relaxing.

You've been working so hard here.

If you ladies will excuse me.

So, how's the article coming ?

It's going great, actually.

I'm learning so much
about the vineyard

and I think it'll
add a nice touch.

That's great ! No one
gets Liam like you do.

How's it spending time with him ?

It's been really nice.

Anyways, you ready for
your big grand re-opening ?

About as ready as I'll ever be.

I still have a few things
I need to finish up, but it's strange...

I feel nervous about it
for some reason.

I mean, you've worked
really hard at it.

Being nervous doesn't
have to be a bad thing,

it just means that you care.

I have the most amazing news.

I just got you a job
offer in New York !

New York ?

With my dad's company !

It's only the most elite real
estate agency in the world.

Heather, we agreed to
live in Everlasting.

I just started a little league team

That was before this amazing
opportunity, Liam.

This is like the best thing
that has ever happened to us.

But it's not what we agreed on.

Just... okay, can we talk
about this later ?

You would not believe it,

I almost had to postpone the wedding

because Jake Jacobs couldn't come,

but it's all right, his
assistants figured it out.

When are you going to be back ?

Just a couple more days.
That's all.

For sure before the Welcome Dinner.

You would not believe this dress.

It has been a disaster.

Honey, half an inch. Half !

Liam, I have to go.

Heather, wait.

So, are you going to ask Aleks ?

On a date ?

I couldn't do that.

I was referring to
the grand opening party,

but wow, someone has
a serious crush brewing.

Are you going to take Liam?

I think it would be good for him,

but he's preoccupied with
work and the wedding, so...

Bring him - the guy needs a break.

I just hope he's not
rushing into anything.

I know, he just seems
more stressed than normal.

The wedding, it all
seemed to happen so fast.

Still, it's not our place.

Liam ! Everything okay ?

I just, I got a job
offer in New York.

Is that a good thing ?

I don't know, I think
I need to think about it.

Yeah, that's a really big decision.

And you just started
getting settled here.

Yeah, sometimes I kind
of feel like this wedding

is taking on a life of its own.

Funny how that can happen.

Well cheers, to old friends
and new beginnings.

Bursting with brilliant fruit,

with subtle tones of earth,
vanilla, and toasted oak,

this Pinot Noir offers the perfect
balance of richness and elegance.

In a word,

Everlasting Vineyard's
Special Reserve Pinot Noir

possesses all the notes
of a place called home.

It's nothing really.

Why do you do that ?

You can't take a compliment.

It's not like I'm
Shakespeare or anything.

Oh really ? I thought you
were Shakespeare.

You're hilarious.

Stop doubting yourself, okay ?

You clearly have a gift,
you always have.

Anyway, the wine
speaks for itself.

yeah, it's pretty grape.

I see what you did there.

And you know what ?

If this magazine career
doesn't work out for you,

then you might have
a fruitful career

Okay, are you done ?

Sorry, I was just...

I've been bottling all
this wine talk for so long.

Glad I could help.

Puns, please keep them coming.

I'm empty.

You know, you didn't even try
to squeeze in the interview.

I know how much this vineyard
means to you and your family

and I might have picked up a
thing or two for my article.

This article is really
important to you, isn't it ?

Yeah, it's only the biggest
opportunity of my career so far.

Okay, meet me in the
dining room in an hour.

Does this mean what
I think it does ?

Okay, have a seat.

Not quite so fast.

I have one more favor to ask.

Off the record.

I have a confession to make.

It's something I've
never told anyone.

I have two left feet.

And I promised Heather
that...don't laugh !

I promised Heather that I
would take dance lessons.

Heather actually thinks I've
been taking dancing lessons

for three months, but I've been
too busy to squeeze them in,

so here we are.

I hate to break it to you,
that's not a secret.

Everyone knows you're not
exactly a ballroom dancer.

Thanks for sugar coating that.

I can't dance and everyone
knows it...that's great.

Not everyone, just
everyone in Everlasting.

I don't know, I was just hoping that
maybe you could teach me a few basics.

Basics ?

Just enough so that I don't make a
fool out of myself at my own wedding ?

Oh, you're just wanting me
to deliver the impossible.

Look if you can do this for me,

then I will give you a full
interview for your article, okay ?

No holds barred, you can
ask me anything.

Okay, so this is a basic step touch.

Try to keep up.

Just this. Step-touch.

Step-touch.

But to the rhythm.

To the rhythm.

Don't look at the floor.

Not at the ceiling, at your partner.

It's okay, you're doing great.

Why don't we try adding
a little dip ?

Dip ? I can do that.

I don't know if you remember,

but the dip is actually my specialty.

Oh, I remember.

Remember this ?

Couldn't forget it.

Burnt in my memory.

Was it as painfully awkward
as I remember ?

I think we're good, got it.

Pretend I'm your partner.

- Heather ?
- Or any partner.

I'm gonna put my hands
on your shoulders, okay ?

May I ?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Don't look down. Look at me.

Not as hard as I thought
it was going to be.

- Yeah, you got this.
- It was easy.

You're a natural.

- You hungry ?
- Starving.

Remember when we snuck in here

and ate all those red
velvet cake samples ?

You know they were for the
Reid's anniversary party, right ?

Yeah, I thought they were leftovers.

Yeah I know, because I'm the one

who took them out
of the fridge for you.

I didn't know they were
for the actual party.

Yeah, the Reids were not impressed.

But that is still the best cake
I've ever had in my entire life.

It better be, because I got
in so much trouble for that.

But I mean, despite the
Cake Fiasco, as I remember

the Reids had a pretty
legendary anniversary party.

That was a seriously fun summer.

Sometimes I wish I could go
back and relive those memories.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You haven't changed a bit.

How do you mean ?

You always used to save
your strawberries for last.

We are late for Julie's
Grand Re-Opening !

Here we go !

Hi Aleks, your parents just left !

Oh yeah, I saw them.

You clean up really nice.

The place looks amazing.

You've really done
a great job with it.

I couldn't have done it without you.

I mean, your help. You know.

I was wondering...

do all the floral arrangements yourself,
or...how does that work ?

Sam helps me with some
of the arrangements.

Right, of course she would .

You were busy and I needed some help.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I would've, but I was,

Of course you would have.

You were busy and you're
so helpful, all the time.

Hey, speak of the devil.

Look at this ! I knew
it would be a success.

Thank you. I'm just so
glad you guys made it.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Look at you four.

The gang is all together again.

Mrs. Hart, good to see you again.

Julie, you must have worked
very hard really hard on this.

This is amazing.

Yeah, it takes a village.

But I definitely didn't do on my own.

Well, some of the ladies
are here for my weekly brunch,

so I'm going to go mingle.

And I brought wine.

We brought wine !

Thanks, do you mind popping it
on the table right over there ?

So Aleks cleans up nice.

Doesn't he ?

He looks so handsome,
I can't stand it.

Do you see the way
he's looking at you ?

I am definitely getting some
more-than-friends vibes here.

I noticed today he isn't
wearing his wedding ring.

Could be a sign.

I don't want to get my hopes up.

Maybe he forgot it at home.

Julie, everyone deserves
a second chance at love.

They do, don't they ?

Yes, and when he looks at you,
he looks at you like you're

The only woman in the room ?

Is it obvious ?

No, it's not obvious at all.

- Okay good.
- No, it's super obvious.

You know what, I think
I'm gonna ask her out.

That's a good idea right ?

I mean why are you
even asking me ? Yes.

I haven't been on a date
in six years,

you're about to get married.

Don't you know everything
about this ?

I definitely don't know
everything about this.

Well, you could've fooled me.

Oh, idea ! I should invite
her to your wedding !

That's a good idea, right ?

Speaking of your wedding,
how's all the planning going ?

It's kind of turning into
this whole social media thing

and you know me, I'm more
of a private person.

That you are.

Plus, Heather's dad kind of
offered me a job in New York.

Wait what, really ?

Hold on, I thought she was supposed
to move here after the wedding.

So did I, that was our agreement,

but now I'm starting to wonder if moving
here is really what Heather wants at all.

Well, what do you want ?

I'm starting to question that myself.

I mean, you did meet Heather

at a different part of your life, right ?

You were in New York,
you were playing baseball

and you were chasing your dream.

Yeah, but she stuck
with me after the injury.

I know that the vineyard
isn't exactly Heather's speed.

Have you spoken to her about it ?

She's been so preoccupied
with wedding stuff.

I'm just saying, what's it
like having her around again ?

It's been...

Seeing Sam again has been...

Sam is the past.

I still don't understand
what happened with you guys.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I could
please get your attention.

I would like to make a toast to the
woman who made tonight possible,

my oldest and dearest friend, Julie.

As all of you know,

Birds & Bees suffered a tragic fire
a year ago and it was devastating.

But Julie, the forever optimist,
wasted no time in rebuilding.

and just look at all
that she accomplished.

Julie and I don't get to spend

nearly as much time together
as we would like,

but when we do, it's
like no time has passed.

That's how I feel about Everlasting.

Being back here has reminded me
just how really, truly special this place is.

The people are the heart
and soul of this place

and this flower shop
wouldn't be here without you.

Birds and Bees would not
be here without your support

and I don't know where I would
be without my best friend.

So if you could all please
join me in a toast, to Julie.

Honey, that was such a great speech.

I'm so proud of you.

I need to ask you something.

I was...

I was wondering if you
wanted to go out on a date.

I've been wanting to
ask you for a long time.

And I've been wanting you
to ask me for so long, so...

My answer is yes.

I would love to go
on a date with you.

Nice speech, you
must be a writer.

I just spoke from the heart.

It was great.

I think I'm going
to make my exit.

Can I walk you home ?

Like old times ?

Yeah, like old times.

That was really nice.

Julie was absolutely glowing,
I'm so proud of her.

She's always been an optimist.

And you're not ?

I think it's my fatal flaw.

Prepare for the worst and
hope for the best, I guess.

I think I used to be an optimist.

I mean my whole life, all I ever wanted
was to play in the major leagues

and I put everything I had into it.

And then I finally made it

and that's when I tore
my rotator cuff.

It was heartbreaking.

But it forced me to step
back and really think about

what else I was passionate about.

And what's that ?

Giving back to my community.

Coaching Little League.
Working with my family.

What about New York ?

What you said in your
speech, about community.

It really hit home with me.

I think I'm going to tell Heather

that I can't take that job in New York.

This is where I belong.

Yeah I have to admit, coming back here

was everything I never knew I needed.

I avoided it for so long
because of...because of the past.

I thought about you for so long.

I still don't really know
what happened between us.

We agreed when I got my
scholarship in San Francisco

and you got your chance
to play ball in New York,

that we would give each other space.

We'd been pretty much
inseparable through college.

And high school.

Yeah, but our first kiss
wasn't until college.

I count our high school
graduation dance.

I remember driving you
to the airport

and us deciding that we would
give each other the year

to pursue our dreams and if
we still felt the same way

at the end of it, that we'd meet back up.

And if we did, we would meet at
the vineyard lookout on our anniversary.

I showed up and you didn't.

No, I showed up and you didn't.

I showed up on our anniversary...

Our anniversary was August 2nd,
the day of our first kiss.

No, our anniversary was August 4th,
the date of our first date.

You trying to tell me we both
showed up on different days ?

Why didn't you call ?

Because I was hurt and by
the time I got the courage,

I saw a picture of you in
the paper with another girl.

That was just a friend.

I didn't move on for so long.

And I tried to call, but
you changed your number.

Wow, it's crazy to think
how different our lives

would've been if one of us had just...

I guess I'm glad we finally figured it out.

After all these years.

Yeah, after all these...

I have to go.

Why, because of something I said ?

When inspiration strikes,
I've gotta take it.

It all makes sense now.

Just... hang on !

- You really think so ?
- I know so.

When Lady Jane tells Arthur

that she's been in love
with him all these years,

I cried. I'm crying.

Okay stop, you're
going to make me cry.

Promise me you'll send this.

To Winslow House ? Yeah ?

Sam, you've got to get over
your fear of the past already.

Okay wait, what does this
have to do with my past ?

Do I need to spell it out for you ?

I guess so.

Lady Jane tells Arthur

she's been in love
with him for 15 years.

Arthur is supposed to marry Katherine,

even though secretly
he's in love with Lady Jane.

I did write it, remember ?

You know he's in love
with you, right ?

Liam ? Liam is not in love with me.

And you're in love with him.

Okay, will you stop ?

It's written all over these pages.

You're Lady Jane

and you've been in love
with him all these years.

Okay, even if Lady Jane is me, which
she isn't, it wouldn't matter.

None of it matters because
it's in the past.

You have to tell him !

Tell him what ? I'm
not in love with him.

And even if I was, which I'm not,

I wouldn't tell him because I can't.

Because he's getting
married, remember ?

Someone needs to stop Liam

from making the biggest
mistake of his life.

That is not my place.

You've poured your heart
and soul into this novel.

You've gotta do it in real life.

This is your chance.

Heather and Liam aren't meant
to be together and you know it.

You know what ?
We will agree to disagree.

I have to get going.

How'd the inspiration go ?

I finished my novel.

Should we get started ?

So for our wine lovers,
can you tell me

a little bit about this special
reserve you two will be serving ?

I'm guessing it's a Pinot Noir ?

I have to admit, I always
thought the wine

that we would serve at my
wedding would be a Pinot Noir,

but we're going with a...

With a ?

Gewurztraminer.

You hate Gewurztraminer.

There are plenty of redeeming
qualities about Gewurztraminer.

Can you give me an example ?

It's light and sweet
and refreshing.

But you prefer Pinot ?

But I've just known Pinot longer.

You know, it was the
first wine we ever produced.

So if you prefer Pinot,

why are you going with
the Gewurztraminer ?

Because we had empty cases
of Gewurztraminer

and they didn't have labels,

so it was just easy
to switch it over.

We're just gonna leave that part out

because that doesn't sound
very romantic at all, does it ?

Yeah, I'm just realizing that

I wanted to surprise you earlier,

but we got caught up in town
trying to find a place

that sells a decent oat milk latte.

Wait a second, what is going on here ?

Are you interviewing him ?

Sam, you are a genius !

I don't know how you got him to crack.

I need to talk to you about something.

I don't want to interrupt you,
but just hang tight

because I want to run some
things by you about the wedding.

Yeah of course, we're
pretty much done anyway.

Sweetheart...

Guess who wants to
sing at our wedding.

Kip Moore ?

Barely Yoncé !

Wow yeah, I don't know who that is.

The Beyoncé cover band.

They're huge for anyone who's
important in weddings right now.

And they book two
years in advance !

We need to get a stage.

A stage ?

I thought we agreed to use
the back of the dining room.

Honey, Barely Yoncé can't perform
in the back of a dining room.

Right, yeah. So now we need a stage ?

You get me ! You're so good.

Love the blue.

Maybe not the shorts next time, though.

I just, okay. Sam, let's go.

Chase, the bags ?

Okay. No, don't help him...

No, I'm sorry Chase,
those are all wrong.

Can you send them back, please ?

Lilies are my favorite.

Oh, well you should have them.

They're just too sweet
and plain for me.

I need heightened sophistication.

Chase ? Can you see if there are
any birds of paradise in Oregon ?

And see if they can
send us some samples.

Remember: tropical extravagance.

Sorry, just to confirm :
Jungle Breeze ?

Tropical Extravagance.

Got it.

So, I picked up a few cake samples.

Turns out the bakeries
here aren't half bad.

I know I've changed my mind
on this a million times,

but I just...

I need everything to be perfect.

That is delicious.

We were going to go
with my favorite,

a vanilla buttercream lavender,
but Liam's favorite is

Red velvet.

Red velvet, yes !

Anyway, that's the one that
polled better with my followers,

so I thought I would surprise him.

Therefore, out of these
three red velvet cakes,

which one would you choose ?

Yeah, I value your opinion.

Oh, this one.

It's simple, yet classic.

Great ! That's another box ticked !

One more thing.

I know this is totally over the top,

but my father has a business
associate who's a Sarcofsky.

Of Sarcofsky Diamonds.

I just had these made for Liam.

Too extravagant ?

They'd be perfect for
any event in the city.

He's going to love them.

I hope so.

I would just really
like to get him excited

about the possibility
of living in New York.

Don't get me wrong
- I love Everlasting.

And I could totally see
myself living here,

if it had all the things
New York had.

You might be surprised,
it might grow on you.

There's just something
about this place.

Every time I come home it
sweeps me off my feet again.

That's sweet.

I don't know if I'm going
to ever feel that way,

but it's still sweet.

You've just been so
helpful Sam, thank you.

It's my pleasure.

I think I have everything
I need for today.

So, the photographer
will be by tomorrow

and the editor will
send you the proofs.

Amazing ! And I'll see you at the
Welcome Dinner tonight, right ?

Oh, you know what ? I have
so much work to do...

No, you have to come !

We're shipping in the
lobster from New York.

I can make an appearance.

Okay, well I will see you tonight.

Looking forward to it.

- Shall we ?
- We shall.

Sam, don't you look wonderful !

So nice to see you,
Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne.

How stunning is this ?
It's like a fairy tale.

At a theme park.

This place couldn't fit another
decoration if it tried

and this isn't even the wedding !

Oh, look ! Here they are now.

Always nice to see you,
Sam. Enjoy yourself !

Back up, Chase! Back up !

Lower...

You look gorgeous.

How's the date ?

I'm just trying not
to fall in love.

Can you tell ? I'm
playing it cool, right ?

Look at this face.

I'm so happy for you.

Hey Sam !

Hi Aleks, looking good.

Yeah, you do look really good.

So do you. And you.

You both look good
everyone looks good.

Do you know where you're sitting ?

Yeah, I'm... over yonder.

Oh, I think we're over there
with the bride and groom.

-Yeah, we are.
-I'll come visit you.

- Please do.
- Okay, shall we?

Okay, see you.

I'll just be right back.

I'm enjoying the people watching.

You have quite the exclusive guest list.

Even the lobster came from New York.

How's the Pinot ?

I better...

Hello everybody !

Can I have everyone's attention ?

I just wanted to say a quick thank you

to everybody for coming all the way out

to this tiny little remote Vineyard
in the middle of nowhere

to commence a fun week
of wedding celebrations !

Thank you, I also have a
surprise announcement to make.

Dramatic pause.

I got Liam a job in New York !

My dad agreed to take him
on at Real Estate East !

So, as soon as the wedding is over,

Liam and I are both
moving to Manhattan !

So congratulations to my very
handsome, almost-husband, Liam !

Honey, we have our lives
to talk about this.

Right now, we have guests to entertain.

Speaking of, I think this might
be the perfect opportunity

for a photo op with Jake Jacobs.

If you'll excuse me.

Okay, let's talk.

I can't take that job
in New York with your dad.

Look, you went behind my back and
you got it without even asking me !

I can't stay in Everlasting, Liam.

I don't feel like myself
when I'm here.

I thought all the excitement

around the wedding and engagement
would change things, but...

I don't know, these last
few days in New York

have made me see that that
is where we're supposed to be.

Maybe you, but not me.

That's not what I want.

Well, what do you want ?

I mean you never really tell me,

so I just assume you're okay
with me always taking the lead.

I guess I've just been
trying to figure it out.

You know what I think this is ?

I think it's just really hard
to move away from home.

Believe me, I know.

I felt the exact same way when
I left New York, it was awful.

Maybe you shouldn't
have to feel that way.

What do you mean ?

After baseball,

I didn't even know who I was anymore.

Not until I got back here,
not until I got home.

But you, you have always
known exactly who you are

and you always knew exactly
where you needed to be.

And that's not Everlasting.

I don't think so.

I really tried to love it here,
you know ?

I know. You were great.

It's just so small. And quiet.

Plus, I've already exhausted
all the good photo ops.

So what do we do now ?

Now we break it to Chase

that he might have to
re-pack all your suitcases.

Trust me, he won't mind.

Well, if you're ever in New York,
don't be a stranger.

We'll get dinner with Jake Jacobs.

Speaking of which,

I guess we should inform
our guests of the news.

Yeah, they'll be fine.

They're eating lobster, so...

Come in.

I thought I'd bring some tea
for my hard-working daughter.

How's it all going ?

I can't go to the wedding.

No?

I can't watch Liam marry someone else
and write an authentic article.

Yeah, this is supposed to be the
biggest opportunity of my career.

I didn't think I'd be
going home without a story.

When your father and I met,

I was certain I was a city
girl, through and through.

But he was charming and I fell in love
with him and moved here to Everlasting.

Turns out it was the
best decision I ever made.

Life doesn't always
go according to plan.

I think I'm going to be fired.

Why don't you write the article
that you want to write ?

What do you have to lose ?

You're welcome, sweetheart.

I can't believe I'm
flying home tomorrow.

Feels like I just got here.

Does this mean you're going
to come home more often now ?

I kind of don't want to leave.

There's a familiar feeling
in Everlasting

that no amount of money can buy.

It's the feeling of coming home.

You are so talented.

I am so about to be fired.

So it's not a cookie-cutter
Wedding Belle Magazine article.

It's good writing
that's what matters.

Is it though ?

Yeah, you're going to be fine.

I promise.

Sam ? My office, please ?

No seriously, it's good.

- Okay, wish me luck.
- You got this.

Okay look, I know
this wasn't exactly

what you were looking for--

This piece is very good.

It is ?

Yes. Don't get me wrong,
it's not the cover.

It's not.

No, but I want you at this
Friday's board meeting

with pitches for
next month's cover.

In the meantime, if you could
romance a quick few hundred words

on gluten-free bagels and
carrot lox, the whole thing.

It is a fad. You still here?

That's what I thought.

No! I'm really grateful
for the opportunity,

but after four enlightening
years at Wedding Belle Magazine,

I think it's time
for me to move on.

Did Hans at Veiled Intentions
give you a better offer ?

No, I'm going to write romance novels.

Oh, that's disappointing.

You're very talented.

Make us proud.

You'll be missed.

Not that much, but a lot.

Yes, I know the wedding is postponed.

May I speak with Samantha Hart?

Speaking ?

This is Charles Harrington,
from Winslow House Publishing.

We read your manuscript,
"Everlasting Love"

and quite frankly, we loved it.

We have a new imprint
that highlights fresh voices

and Samantha Hart is a new voice
that we'd love to highlight.

I feel like a sequel
is in the midst.

Welcome to Birds and...

Wait, you are ?
Are you here to stay ?

You are looking at
Everlasting's newest

soon-to-be published author.

Winslow House is
interested in the novel.

They gave me notes
and they want more.

Does that mean there's
a sequel in our midst ?

I guess we'll have to find out.

I can't say I'm the
least bit surprised.

I can't wait to
read your sequel.

You'll be the first to read it.

I decided to come home.

Everlasting seems to be
where I'm most inspired.

Right. About that.

Is this about Liam ?

It is.

- You know ?
- Yeah, it's fine.

It is ? Because I was gonna say...

He's right behind you.

Just, before you say anything...

Come with me.

There's something
I want to show you.

I called off the wedding

and then I went to your
parents' house looking for you,

but you had already left town.

So I flew to Seattle.

You did ?

Yeah, and then I went to your
magazine office and I met...

Anne, is it ?

She tried to sell me on a
tell-all. Interesting woman.

After your office, I
went to your apartment.

I have always loved you.

It's always been you.

You've always been the one, too.

Dance with me ?
