Love Club, The: Nicole's Story (2023)

[bunniefuu]

We want some life magic

we want to take control

Cause when the lights go out

that's where the dreamers go

Guys happy New Year.

Seriously Nic?

What was I thinking?

Hey guys. Happy New Year.

I'll see you in there.

- See you.

- Yeah.

What were you thinking?

What?

Well, you just said,

"What was I thinking?"

Oh um, yeah, it's just,

you know, guy stuff.

Well it's New Year's.

There's a lot of pressure.

What happened? You get stood up?

Yeah. Something like that.

I mean, it can't be

that complicated, right?

To find that one person

who like, completes you?

Isn't that a line from a movie?

Yes. One of the greatest.

I mean, when Renee

rose up and joined him,

it was just, wow.

You know what? That's

what I'm going to do.

I am going to rise up and I'm

gonna ring in this new year.

Hey, d'you wanna come with me?

My IN-2-U date totally just

found someone else

to ring all this in with, so...

Are you serious?

Okay, that's it. We're

definitely doing this thing.

I'm Nic, by the way.

- Tara.

- Nice to meet you!

Oh Nic! There you are!

- Oh, Happy New Year.

- Mmm. Champagne?

Oh, I'm good. I'll wait

until the countdown.

I will take some.

Tara, right? We have

visual arts class.

I am Lauren, your

hostess with the mostest.

Hey Laur, are you okay?

You usually take it easy

at your own parties.

Oh, well, your

boyfriend didn't just

change the plans on you which,

clearly didn't take what

I want into account.

So there's that.

Whoa, whoa.

- You wanna sit down?

- Yeah.

You guys should sit down.

Hold on. You're Sydney,

that track star?

That's me.

I made pakoras. They're inside.

She made pakoras.

You see? Now that's

a proper guest.

Thank you.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

My boyfriend dumped me.

Dump number four.

Well join the club because

Nic here just got stood up,

Lauren just had the

goal posts changed.

I'd say we are part

of the broken heart club.

Well, okay, maybe we are

right now, but,

the one we're meant to be with

has gotta be out there

somewhere, right?

We just have to be the smart,

strong women that we are

and start making good choices.

Like no more IN-2-U.

You're not gonna find

your soulmate on there.

I have to agree with that.

I was looking, but

done and done.

Well, I guess that

means I'm dumping Peter.

No.

Laur, you two love each other.

If that's true, then I'd

give him another chance

and talk it out.

Yeah, but remind him of

what you want.

Definitely.

And then maybe I should

talk to Byron

and give him another shot?

No, no, no, no.

- Mmm-mm.

Four dumps

is not a charm.

Ladies, look at us.

We're solving each other's

romantic crises right now.

So we are not a

broken hearts club.

We're the Love Club.

I like it.

And I really wasn't

having any fun until now.

Ditto.

Oh.

- Wow.

- Okay.

Let's take a vow then.

- Seven!

- To always have each other's

backs when our heart's a mess

- Five!

- Yeah?

To the Love Club.

Three!

Two!

The love club.

One!

Happy New Year!

Things springing

up from the ground

Sun shining all around us

Remembering

when this was dust

And ashes

Raise my eyes to the light

peaking through the night

Waking up found the

strength that's been inside

Hey do you think your

mom's gonna know

that this cranberry sauce

is from a can?

You know what? It's fine.

It's fine. I'll just dress it up

by putting it in a fancy bowl.

Ooh, speaking of which,

I can't wait to show you these

new lampshades I designed.

They're whimsical with

this soft, dim lighting.

Dim lampshades? I don't

see the point.

Well, it's supposed to

be ambient lighting,

like, romantic ambience.

Hmm.

Oh, my parents are gonna be

here any minute for the game.

We gotta get that

bird in the oven.

Okay.

Here we go.

- Clean all this.

- Alright.

I really wish we could

just order pizza. You know,

I bet you they have some

sort of Thanksgiving spe--

What is this?

What do you think?

Nicole Everett. Will

you marry me?

Oh, that's them.

My parents are gonna

be so thrilled.

So, what d'you say?

Yeah, of course.

I knew it. Wow,

best Thanksgiving ever.

Okay.

I think the potatoes

were just there for the gravy.

And your mom knew that the

cranberry sauce was from a can.

Why else would she have

given me a recipe?

Oh no!

The ring is in the gravy!

Warren. The ring is too big.

Warren!

- Huh?

- The ring.

It keeps slipping off.

Hey, we'll get it sized

when I get back from

the conference.

Speaking of, there might

be some buyers

that are interested in

your company.

And I told you Everett

Interiors is my baby

and it's finally

getting recognized.

Yeah, and that's why you

need to strike

when the iron's getting hot.

We can discuss it.

My future spouse.

How's that for

being romantic? Huh?

Look, I should go.

I'll text you tomorrow

when I land, okay?

- Okay.

- I love you.

Yeah, love you too.

Hi ladies.

It's been a while. I

actually don't know how long.

Life gets busy.

It doesn't change

that I miss you,

and not just because I

need your help,

which I do because I'm a

bit of a romantic mess.

and there's no one else

I'd rather turn to

than my fabulous friends

of the Love Club.

So here's the link.

You know what to do.

Hugs and kisses, Nic.

Now you see it as just

a powder room, but I see it

as something that could be

a statement piece, you know,

with textured wallpaper,

maybe even a chandelier.

Okay, great.

I'll bring the samples

by later today.

Sounds good. See you then.

Okay.

Hi. You showed.

Of course we did.

Where's Tara? Did you get

a hold of her?

Oh, sorry ladies.

- Just a bit of a late night.

- Oh.

There she is.

Laur, those cupcakes look

delicious. From scratch?

Of course it is.

Unless I want the class

parents all up in my face.

So Nic, what's the 911?

Uh well, I'm engaged, so, yay.

- I'm sorry Is that a good thing?

- Uh

I don't know, which is

why I need your help,

because Warren is a

really great guy, but

I'm getting that

feeling again.

The one I get before I

end things and,

I can't keep bailing on

my relationships.

True. Because I've actually

lost track of them.

Tara!

And it's not like there's

anything really wrong.

It's just I haven't been sure.

Like with Warren, if

they're the one.

So, will you guys help me?

Hey, I could use a mommy break.

And we did take a vow.

Are we saying what I

think we're saying?

Love Club here we come!

Oh! Yes!

You guys are the best.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Let me know when

you're on your way.

Okay. Bye.

Hey, you're here!

Barely.

This woman offered

to pick me up

and I didn't realize we

were driving the Indy.

We made it here in less

than three hours.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Kids car pooling. It's like

driving the track every time.

Oh! And look who it is

our jet setter!

Mmm, hi.

Okay, so, what can I

get everyone?

Wine!

Excellent. Come on in.

Naturally.

So here I am, his parents

are at the front door.

And what do I pull out?

- A ring box.

- Oh!

Not exactly the romantic

proposal I was hoping.

No, you want it to be like all

of those rom-coms you watch.

- Exactly.

- Hey,

What about you Syd?

'Cause I'm a little worried

that you still haven't

given up that mug.

Well, don't be because

I have not been in contact

with Byron. But,

I can't give this up.

No, this is from the New Years

that we cheers to all this.

Cheers.

Well, I'm happy to report

that I'm still single.

Not that you should be, Nic.

Well, and I, I love Warren.

I have no reason not to.

You know, he's kind.

He's attentive.

It's just, this always happens.

Do you know why?

It's, it's because I think about

this crush I had

from time to time.

That last year of college,

I think my English Lit

prof was trying to

revive the written

word or something

because we all got partnered

up with a secret pen pal

from this other school

that she partnered with.

And, these are the letters

that I got from mine.

I mean, they're amazing.

His words and his

stories are just-

Oh, okay, listen to this.

"People always think

they know who you are,

but only I know in my

heart and you know in yours

what we are."

Okay,

and what about this?

"I've gotta believe there's

something great waiting for us.

Something to make us

feel complete."

- Wow, deep stuff.

- Right?

I mean, nothing has

ever made me feel

the way that these letters do.

So in my final letter of

the assignment,

I asked him to meet me

that New Year's.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

I just, I had to meet the guy

that I really felt could

be the one, you know?

But then when he didn't show up,

I just took that as a sign

that I should just move on.

Except, um, I can't, so.

Well, have you tried

tracking him down?

I would, but for

security reasons,

we were only ever allowed

to use our initials, so.

Other than the initial J,

I have nothing to go on.

And my prof was no help.

Look, I know that this

sounds crazy, okay, I know,

but guys, I'm just really scared

of ending up like my parents.

You know, just stuck in a

marriage with no true love,

and no romance and

no connection.

I want those things.

I want true love. I

want a real connection.

I want...

I just want my

happily ever after.

Then we'll find it for you.

Okay, here we go.

Paradine University.

That's the school your

prof partnered with, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

And, here is the class list.

How on earth did you do that?

Let's see. I'm a member

of the Parents Association

volunteer teacher

at the Arts College,

and I sit on the education

advisory committee

for my writing, so yeah,

I run on fumes.

Hey, there's two names here

that start with the letter J,

Jill Cohen and Josh Nolan.

Well, that's gotta be

him then, right? Josh?

Josh Nolan.

Nic Nolan!

Totally has a ring to it.

- Right!

- Okay, before you two

start planning the wedding,

let's confirm his status.

And...

It's single.

He's adorable.

Hey, it says

he's manager at Kenworthy Inn.

Kenworthy Inn. Let's see.

Hey, that's only a

few hours drive.

Oh, so I could be there tonight?

Whoa! You're not gonna

just show up like,

"Hey, I've been thinking

about you for 10 years."

Not that crazy.

Wait, look at what it

says on their website.

"Please be patient

while we remodel

to offer you a better

experience."

That's it.

That's my in!

Yeah, we're just waiting

on the contractors. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's it, Becky.

Okay. Okay, great.

Well, we'll see you then.

Okay. Bye!

Okay, so the designer that

was hired for the remodel

has just been put off for a

week, so now we can step in.

- We?

- Well, yeah, I was, um,

I was kind of hoping

maybe you guys,

you know, come with me

for moral support.

Plus it would be so much fun.

I mean, it would be like going

on grad trip all over again.

- Oh!

- Well, you know,

the class parents do go

bananas this time of year.

So I'm good to bail out.

And I could totally review

the inn for my blog,

- so...

- That's a yes. Tara?

- I don't think I have a choice.

- Yee!

I'll take it.

Awe.

So, what happens

when this Josh finds out

you're not the designer

hired for the inn?

Uh, we will cross that

bridge when we come to it.

Wow. Look at this place.

I mean, it's straight

out of a holiday classic.

Oh, I can feel my happily

ever after already.

You think this is a good idea?

Let's just get it over with.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Oh wow!

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Lots of flowers.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I'm Nic Everett and I'm

here with Everett, uh-uh,

Refined by Design, and

this is my design team.

We're just checking in.

Do you know when

I'd be able to meet

with the manager, Josh Nolan?

He's already left for the night,

but he's looking forward to

meeting you in the morning.

- Oh.

- In the meantime,

here are your keys.

Your rooms are in the

Clarington wing.

Perfect.

Yeah, right?

- It's so cute down there.

Honestly, I love the

blue chairs too.

Yeah, they were so pretty.

- Oh.

- Oh man.

These stairs are no joke.

No joke.

Oh my gosh, guys!

It's so cute up here.

It's perfect.

- Oh,

- Ah except maybe the doilies.

Oh yeah. I mean it could

use a little bit of work.

You know what?

I'm so down for this

designer cover.

- Oh.

- You are so not!

Because that lying thing

that you do with the accents.

- It's true.

- Okay, you know what?

- Fine. C'est la vie.

- Thank you.

You're welcome

All right, I'll see you

two tomorrow.

Okay. Sleep tight.

Oh.

- You all good?

- Yeah. Yeah, all good.

- Hey.

- Oh.

Syd's all finished her hike,

we're gonna go meet her.

- You wanna join?

- Uhh, actually

The front desk just called,

and Josh is coming up

to meet me, so.

Okay, so, d'you want us to

stay as your design team?

- We could help you with some--

- Okay, no, no, no, no, no.

- She's good. She's good.

- Okay, fine.

Let's go.

- Bye.

- I'll see you later.

Okay.

This would look better here.

There. Grab these.

Maybe put these

just in the middle here.

That's a bit better.

Still getting tea at

Grandma's vibes.

Is it the doilies?

Oh, it's you.

Oh my gosh, it's you.

Oh, you being, sorry,

who are you?

Josh. Josh Nolan, the

inn manager.

- Hi.

- And you are from

Refined by Design.

Yeah. I'm Nic.

Nic Everett.

I'm the designer that you

hired, or the owners hired,

whoever hired, to spruce

this place up.

- Yeah.

- Right.

Well, it's a pleasure, Nic.

I'd love to give you a tour,

show you what needs to get done,

maybe see what else you think

maybe needs some

work around here

seeing as this area was

not on my radar.

Oh no, no. I mean it's,

it's really not that bad.

I, I love the, the

cardinal lamp.

I'm just thinking maybe

a little less crochet.

Unless your grandmother made it,

in which case it's beautiful.

She did not. Happy

to change it up.

Shall we?

We shall.

Oh. Oh wow.

Okay. So this is an event space?

Uh, yeah. Well

it's supposed to be.

Right now it could

be anything really.

A games room or

maybe a common room.

- Yeah.

- Not like any university dorm.

Oh, no. I mean it would

be way more sophisticated

- than that.

- Right.

Though I, I did love the

one at my old dorm at UTLC.

- TLC, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

I was at the, the

neighboring campus, Paradine.

Oh wow. Really?

- Yeah.

- Huh.

Yeah, I mean, university.

Crazy times, huh?

Yeah. Not sure

how I survived it.

- Not sure I'd wanna do it again.

- I mean, who would really?

Though, there were some,

some classes and professors

that were pretty memorable.

I had this one professor,

a Miss Delaney,

her class was amazing.

All of her assignments

were always so creative.

Yeah...

Do you have any

classes or assignments,

professors you remember?

Uh, to be honest,

I haven't thought about

university in a long time.

I found it a bit challenging.

Yeah, I got that.

The whole game rooms vibe

that you're thinking of in here.

- Right.

- Let's put a pin in this room

and keep going with the tour?

- Great.

- Okay.

So this is the lounge.

Where you can grab

a coffee or a light bite.

Oh, I see you've got pizza.

So I might be here for

breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Ah, you were preaching the choir

because I am totally that

guy who would be like,

"How come you didn't bring more

- cheese pizzas?"

- Cheese pizzas!

Home Alone!

It's a classic, right?

It is. Second only to

Pretty Woman.

But that is because I

am partial to rom-coms,

but still one of the best.

Fair.

Oh, uh.

- Ah. Duty calls.

- Mm.

But I know we have more to cover

so maybe we can pick this up

later, say around dinner?

- Okay.

- Great.

Because we actually

have the best

takeout pizza right

here in town.

And admittedly

it's not that one.

- That sounds great.

- Perfect.

I'll order the pizza and we can

continue the tour around 8:00?

- Perfect.

- Great.

- I'll see you then.

- Okay.

Alright, baby.

Sending you big kisses.

Daddy too?

Yeah, yeah. And daddy too.

Say bye to your Aunties.

Bye mom!

- Bye.

- Love you, bye bye.

Hey, would you

guys be up for doing

some yoga at the inn after?

I wanna get some

action shots for my blog.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

I still get how you started

doing the whole blog thing.

It was after I blew

out my ankle,

I couldn't compete anymore.

So, I got bored and

started exploring the city.

And that's how Briden's

bucket list was born.

Guys!

- Hey.

- Guys!

I just met Josh and

he's amazing.

He gave me a tour and we're

gonna go have dinner tonight.

I mean, it's just

for work, but still.

Okay, so you told him about

the whole pen pal thing?

Uh, no, not yet.

But I am laying the groundwork.

I just wanna make sure

it's actually him.

But I am definitely

getting those vibes.

So I'm gonna head in and get

some design ideas together.

Are you guys good?

Yeah. As long as this one

doesn't make me do any yoga.

Oh!

Okay. Bye!

You see,

sometimes it's a good

idea to just hold out

because you never know,

this Josh guy really

could be the one.

Well, let's hope,

'cause the fall from the cloud

she's on would really hurt.

Enjoy.

- Hey!

- Hi.

- Usual?

- Uh, just an espresso tonight.

I've got a meeting.

Oh. That must

be the pizza. Nope.

It's a ski lodge on

the West Coast.

They want an answer by

the end of the week.

You know, I've skied

those hills.

It's pretty sweet out there.

Yeah. So is the job

offer, but I don't know.

Just not sure it's what I

want right now.

Sounds to me like you

need a sign.

Mm. Whatever that is.

Hey.

Hey.

Ready to go?

- Yeah.

- Great.

- See you later.

- See ya.

There it is.

Ah. Thank you sir.

Have a good one.

- Thanks. I brought some wine.

- Oh. Good thinking.

You know, usually they

don't deliver,

but I've got the in with

my buddy Luigi.

Oh, well I get it.

Me and my pizza delivery

guy are tight.

Uh, so, where

d'you wanna eat?

Uh, well, I was

thinking outside

that way you get a bit

of the outdoor feel.

- Fine sounds good.

- Great.

So is it just you here

or do you have some help?

You know, an assistant

or girlfriend, partner?

Ah, no, just, just me

checked in at the inn.

How do you like it so far?

Oh, it's great.

I'm really glad I

made the trip up,

which of course I had to

because I'm the designer,

- but still.

- Right.

Speaking of,

is there a vision you have

for the inn once I'm done?

Oh, well, I mean it's not

really my vision that counts.

It's the owners.

See, they kind of wanna fix

up the place so they can sell.

- Sell? Really?

- Yeah, I know.

I don't really

get it either.

I mean, if this place were

my own, I'd never give it up.

I feel like that

about my company.

I mean, I've just

worked so hard.

I can't imagine just

selling it off to someone.

- Not when it feels like home.

- Yeah.

All right. Are you ready

to try some of the best

pizza that you will ever have?

Ta da.

Oh, oh.

How'd Luigi do?

I'm seriously having a

relationship with this pizza.

Eat Pray Love.

Okay, now I'm impressed.

I'm a bit of a movie buff.

What's your favorite rom-com?

- Oh, hands down Jerry Maguire.

- Oh.

- I love Jerry Maguire.

- Right?

- Mm-hmm.

- I mean it's the kind of movie

a guy could watch but

with the whole love story.

And one of the

greatest endings of all time.

And really, I mean who

doesn't love a happy ending?

Speaking of endings, what would

happen if this place sells?

Would you stay on or?

I don't know.

Kind of trying to

figure that out.

I guess that's one of the things

I wouldn't mind going

back to university for,

that feeling of having all this

time to figure your life out.

Just knowing there's gotta

be something great out there.

Something that

makes you feel complete?

Yeah.

You know what I'm wondering?

What Luigi puts in this pizza.

- Mystic pizza.

- Mystic pizza.

Thank you for giving me

a feel for this place.

I think it's important that

client and designer connect.

Then I think this is

gonna work out.

Ooh.

Here. I got glasses.

I brought the classy ones.

Very classy.

Do-do-do-do, do-do-doo.

Da-da-da-da-da, da-day

Da-da-dum

Food's not bad. Menu could

use a bit of a shakeup.

Oh my gosh, guys!

Ahh!

That was so romantic.

Okay. Okay.

So we had the best pizza

by the fire

underneath the stars.

And he even quoted one of

the lines from his letters

about how there's something

great waiting out there for us.

He really quoted that?

Well, nope,

but, but he,

it's what he meant, it's

what he meant.

I mean, we're just so in sync.

Okay, so what happens now?

Well, tomorrow I think I'm gonna

tell him that he's my pen pal.

I mean, guys, I just know

it in my heart. It's him.

Hey.

So this sign you

mentioned last night,

what kind of things could it be?

Anything really.

Your car breaking

down in a place

you never thought

you'd visit,

or a rainbow when

you're feeling low.

What about like,

I don't know,

meeting a woman?

Sure. Why?

D'you get the sign last night?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

- Could be.

- Could be?

Could be.

Feels like you know.

Feels like that could be

could be a definitely.

Da-da

Da-da-da-da-dum

Ba-da-da

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Do you know where Syd

and Laur are?

Yeah, they went to find

us an activity

- Syd can use for her blog.

- Oh.

Okay. Then it is up to you.

Should I take these

letters to show Josh?

Or does it make it seem like

the only reason I came

here was to meet him?

- Well, it was.

- Yeah I know but,

he doesn't need to

know that right away.

Except he'll know

when he finds out

you're not the

designer he hired.

Well, yeah, but I can

tell him that once--

Once you're so blinded

by love, it won't matter?

You think this is

really crazy, don't you?

No, I think whoever

you end up with,

happily ever after is

not guaranteed.

Yeah, but it could help my odds.

Okay. I'll leave the

letters here.

Hey Nic.

- Yeah.

- Good luck.

Thank you.

Oh, cool.

They have pottery classes here.

What do you think?

Should we sign up?

Lauren?

- Lauren?

- Hmm?

Pottery. Do you wanna-

Yeah, okay Syd, come on.

No, what do you, no,

we didn't sign up for the

pottery class.

Let's find out a little

bit more about Josh.

What? What are you doing?

Just, look around.

Aw. He's a kids coach.

Which probably means he's a

control freak. I've seen it.

Little League can get ugly.

Mm. Based on what

Nic said, I doubt it.

Nic wants a life like

the movie she quotes from.

So let's do our own reconnaissance.

Oh. Looks like he's leaving.

What are you doing? What-

You can't make it seem

like we were in here.

Ooh!

- Can I help you?

- I, uh-

No, Josh was saying

that there were

samples in here for us, so.

Of paint and other

odds and sods,

because we are the designers.

Extraordinaire.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Sorry. I'm, late I had a

wine inventory.

Oh, that's okay.

Hope you are all stocked up

for me and my girlfriends.

Oh, uh. Sorry. Design team.

Right. Yeah, of course.

Oh, you know what? That

actually reminds me.

We have this wing that's in

a bit of a transition phase.

I was wondering if you

might be able to work

- some of your magic?

- Oh yeah, I'd be happy to.

But, before we get into that,

I actually had something I

wanted to talk to you about.

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay. Okay.

Mm.

So coming here,

I never thought that something

like this would be possible,

that I could ever meet you.

Um but then yesterday

when we were talking,

you, you said something

from one of your letters

and then I realized that

it had to be you.

I mean, it ha- it has to be you.

That, that you're my

university pen pal, J.

I'm so sorry. Am I wrong?

If I'm wrong this is so embarrassing.

Please just forget I

said anything.

No, you're not wrong.

I've wanted to meet

you for so long.

I mean, the way that your words

in those letters made me feel.

Well, it's kind of the

way I've been feeling

since I got here.

Yeah, yeah I know what you mean.

I never forgot your letters.

I mean,

when you wrote about

planning a renewal

of your parents' wedding vows

and the disappointment you felt

when they fought at the altar,

I really felt your pain.

I loved your first story

about the cardinals.

About how the female died

but every spring

the male called out for her.

I mean, it was so sad, but

his devotion was so beautiful.

Yeah, it was.

In fact, you know, I've seen a

male cardinal around the inn.

I'm kinda like his wing man,

hoping he finds his mate.

- This is amazing.

- Yeah.

It kind of feels like, I

don't know, like a sign.

Yeah, it does.

Do you wanna get outta here?

Go play a little hooky?

Absolutely.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Yes.

Why? Why the accent?

Hey, you said the whole

extraordinaire thing.

Because you started it.

Oh, please.

Whoa. What are you doing?

I'm studying the letters

Nic and Josh exchanged

and there's something

not right here.

What?

Look, see this?

This first letter she got has

slightly different handwriting

than the rest of them.

They all just look messy to me.

Yeah. Like, you know, boys.

Guys, I'm an expert at forgery,

and I'm telling you

these are not the same.

Okay look...

Whee!

Okay, slow down, speedy.

Oh my gosh, this is so much fun.

I haven't been on a

bike in forever.

You were a trooper after

veering up into those bushes.

- Thank you.

- Oh, you've got uh, oh.

There,

you can wear it like a

badge of honor

for staying in the seat.

Thank you. I will.

Hey, um, can I

ask you something?

Sure.

How come you didn't

come to meet me

at that New Year's party

when I asked you to

in the last letter?

Right.

I didn't get the last letter

until after the Christmas break.

Oh.

I went home early

for the holidays.

I mean, if I'd gotten it, I

definitely would've been there.

It's okay.

I'm just glad I know

what happened.

and who knows,

maybe we were

meant to meet like this, now.

I agree.

Ah! Hmm.

Duty's always calling.

Yeah, it's okay.

Josh Nolan.

Josh. This is Becky

Addison from Refined By Design.

I understand the job's

been pushed a week,

but we still haven't

received our retainer.

I'm sorry, who is this?

Becky, from Refined by Design.

The design company

the inn hired.

Really?

And, and you said that

we pushed the job?

Yes.

Uh, okay. We will have

that retainer transferred

to you by the end of the day.

Thank you so much.

Have a great day.

Thanks.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

But I should probably

get back to work.

Oh yeah. No, of course.

Hey, listen, maybe if

you're free later,

we could go get some of that

hot chocolate you've

been raving about?

Sure. Yeah, sure.

Eight o'clock?

Yeah, that sounds great.

Okay.

Right, okay. Ready?

- No.

- Here it comes.

- Take that, boom!

- Guys.

- Two.

- Guys, I was right.

Josh is the one. I have

to call Warren.

- I have to end the engagement.

- Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't you think that's

a bit premature?

I mean, we have a few more

days left here,

so why don't you just

take your time?

Well. That's part of the point.

I mean, this is so

incredibly unfair to Warren.

I mean, think about it, the

sooner I break up with him,

the sooner he has an

opportunity to find someone

who makes him as giddy as

Josh makes me.

Nic, don't.

You've

reached Warren Eisner.

Got his voicemail.

I can't take your call,

but if you leave me a message,

I'll get right back to you.

Hey Warren, uh,

it's me, Nic.

Listen, if you

wanna give me a call,

if you have a break from

some of your meetings,

that would be great. Okay?

Okay. Bye.

Look, I know you're on a

high right now,

but there's something

you need to see.

See, this first letter you got,

the handwriting is slightly

different than the rest of them.

I don't see it.

Neither did I.

Well, I do. These

don't match up.

Tar, I so appreciate that

you're looking out for me.

I really, really do.

But Josh is the one.

And what if he's not?

So maybe just take a breath.

Laur, for the first

time in 10 years

I feel like I'm breathing.

I've gotta go get ready.

Thanks for not backing me up.

She is obviously

head over heels for him.

So does it really matter that

the writing doesn't match?

Maybe it doesn't.

Well, I think it does.

Oh, you gotta come back

in the summer

when there's kayaking.

- I mean that's that's the time.

- Oh.

- Wow. Okay.

- Yeah.

Mm.

This hot chocolate

really is the best.

Mm-hmm.

You have the best of

everything here.

Best pizza, best hot

chocolate, best everything.

Oh yeah. We got it all going on.

- So listen, this-

- Hey, listen-

- Uh, sorry.

- No, no, sorry.

You go first.

I just, I just wanted

to say that

your letters,

they really got me through

some pretty bumpy times

and I just always appreciated

that you encouraged me to

follow my heart.

Those letters they

showed me that you...

that you're special.

Are you kidding me?

This, all of this and

meeting you.

That's what's special. And

the way we've connected?

You know, kind of feels like

it happened for a reason.

Yeah, I agree.

Good. Because look,

there's something

I've been meaning to tell

you about the letters.

Oh!

Oh wow.

- You all right?

- Wow.

Should we get you cleaned up?

- I'm gonna need to do that.

- Yeah, let's go.

Okay.

Roy.

How long have I been

trying to decide to stay,

or take that job with

the ski lodge?

Weeks, right?

And then suddenly this

woman shows up

and we're so alike

it's ridiculous.

I mean, we both love pizza,

we both quote from movies,

we practically finish

each other's sentences.

And so really, I

shouldn't overthink it,

if not all the pieces fit

together, right?

Well, it depends.

What pieces are we

talking about here?

Well. She's not really

the designer we hired.

But that just means that she

did what she had to do

to get to know me. So,

I mean, who am I to

call her on it?

Hmm. Any other pieces?

Well...

You see, I didn't really

like, in a literal sense,

write these letters she

thinks I did,

because this guy just

can't write.

But hey, she's not being

totally honest either.

And I don't care!

Because the point is

that she came here

looking for something and

she found it. And so did I.

So it shouldn't be a

big deal when I tell her

I'm not the guy who

penned the letters.

You didn't?

Nic! Um.

Is that true?

You didn't write the letters?

Well, no. I mean, I did.

It's just, it's complicated.

- Oh my God.

- Nic, wait!

Nic, wait, Nic come

on, I was gonna tell you!

Nic, come on, I was

gonna tell you!

What, that you lied?

No, not

completely, okay?

I-I did get the

assignment and you,

or your initial, was

assigned to me.

I just didn't do the

actual writing.

I mean, I tried, I did

the first one, but it just

it took forever,

okay? Because,

because I'm a

lousy writer.

And so I just passed the rest

off for someone else to do.

But that doesn't matter

because I am your pen pal.

No, you're not.

Well, you're not the

real designer.

And so I guess we're both

guilty of fudging the truth.

- But if I don't--

- No. You know what?

- It's not the same.

- How?

Because I haven't been

your designer for 10 years.

Nic, who cares if it

wasn't my handwriting?

I'm still your pen pal.

So, what are you gonna do now?

I don't know,

but I need to figure out a way

to fix this before she leaves.

Well, just a thought.

If she's stuck on the guy who

actually penned the letters,

maybe find him.

Hope he's not the one.

Roy, you're a genius.

Oh. Whoa.

Guys. I'm such a fool.

No, you are not.

- I tried to tell her.

- Hey, no.

Nic, you just

followed your heart.

Which was completely wrong.

Well was it?

You almost called off

your engagement.

Yeah.

I'm not feeling good

about any of it right now.

The letters did lead

you to something special.

It's just not what you expected.

Personally, I think that you

tried and now you walk away

because how could you trust him?

Well, she should still

hear him out.

Well, we don't want her to

get hurt like Byron hurt you.

That's not fair.

Okay, you know what?

Syd is right.

Listen, 10 years ago

when you all told me

to give Pete another

chance, I did.

- And now we're married.

- Hmm.

But you still don't have

your art gallery.

Okay. No, no, I don't.

But I am still collecting art.

Mm-hmm.

I know, listen,

I know this has nothing

much to do with you

because you are happily single,

headlining on a cruise ship,

singing for, who was it

the other day you posted?

Oh. It was just a cousin

of a reality star.

Oh. Just a cousin of

reality star.

Very cool.

No. You know what's cool?

The fact that all three

of you are here with me.

Of course we would be.

Alright.

It's Warren.

Well pick it up. Maybe

you'll have your answer.

Okay.

Hey Warren.

So how's the

job going at that inn?

Uh yeah, it's going great.

That's good. So

when do you get back?

I got a few offers I

wanna run by ya.

Uh yeah, it's, it's

probably gonna be

a couple more days or so.

Hey, uh random question.

What do you think about birds?

I was thinking about

putting some feeders out

and encouraging them to

nest on my porch.

You know what a mess

that would make?

We'd have bird crap all

over the place.

Right.

Hey, look, I gotta go

hit a seminar,

but I'll see you when we

both get back.

I love ya.

Yeah. Bye.

Maybe I should hear Josh out.

Okay.

Yeah, that's great.

Really great. Thanks.

I'll do my best to get

it there today.

Nic.

I was so happy you

wanted to meet

because I have

something to tell you.

Well, I figured I should

at least hear you out. So,

why don't we sit down?

Great.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Josh. These are my friends.

Ah,

you mean design team, no?

No, he knows we're not

doing that anymore.

Oh, got it.

Uh, this is Tara,

Sydney and Lauren,

I figured they should be

here in case I miss anything.

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

So spill.

Okay.

Well um, as you know, I

did get that assignment.

But you see, back then I was

still struggling with uh...

uh, dyslexia.

Oh!

- Go on.

- Um...

And so naturally English was

my worst subject, of course--

So why'd you take it?

Just to challenge myself.

I mean, which kind of

just backfired

because I would just ask whoever

is willing to do the work

to write it and that's what I

did with the pen pal assignment.

And your profs never

figured this out?

I just told whoever was doing

the work to write it sloppy.

And I guess to them

sloppy was sloppy.

That's what I said. Boys.

So, who

wrote the letters?

Do you still know him?

Ah, no, not really.

He was just this guy

in final year.

Uh well, then I guess

we don't really have

anything else to discuss.

Wait, wait, wait.

I-, I,

I don't know him. But I,

I found him.

He's in a town not far from

here, and I got ahold of him.

And if you wanna

meet him today, you can.

You do wanna meet him, right?

I guess so.

Nic, maybe it's time you

call it a day.

Please. I really wanna fix this.

And really, I mean, what

do you have to lose?

He's right.

What's his name?

Darian.

Darian Spedding.

Okay. I'll meet him.

Okay, great.

Okay. We will leave in an hour.

Just so you know. I'm

watching you.

You can't con a conner.

Okay.

Darian Spedding.

Nic Spedding.

Nicole Spedding.

Yeah, I think I'll

stick with Everett.

All right, that's it,

you got it. You got it.

There's the brake. Now just

go straight, all right?

All right. You got it.

Don't get fancy!

What happens if he

needs to turn?

Oh, he'll figure it out.

I think.

Ready to go?

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks.

What is this place?

It's a wellness spot.

Where Darian works.

Come on.

Thank you.

Apparently he's having a steam.

Oh, okay.

Oh, uh there he is.

Darian!

- Josh?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

Wow. It's been 10 years.

That's right.

That's right.

Uh, Darian, I'd like

you to meet Nic,

the one you penned all

those letters to.

Oh.

Namaste.

Oh. Namaste.

Darian, Nic has been wanting

to meet you for a long time.

Oh, well it seems the karma

wheel has spun in our favor.

Yes. Yes it has.

Perhaps you'd like to have

dinner tonight?

Oh, um... sure, sure. Yeah.

I could make you two a

reservation at Luigi's.

Actually, I'm on a low

FODMAP diet, so I--

Right, in that case, um

maybe my friend Syd

could help us

come up with a menu at the inn?

Perfect. Yeah. I can reserve

you two a table,

say six o'clock?

Sure.

I'm looking forward to it.

Myself as well.

Yeah. You know what,

he did seem a little bit stiff.

but he is attractive and

he did seem pretty chill.

Can't be love at

first sight with everyone.

Like you and Josh?

Nope, that was not real.

But that's okay. I've got

my eyes wide open now, so.

Hey, a delivery

arrived in your name.

That's probably

everything I ordered

to decorate the wing that

needs some work.

- Um are you guys good?

- Mm-hm

- Yeah, we're good.

- Yeah.

She knows she's not the

actual hired designer, right?

Wow. There is a lot

of stuff here.

Yep. Well, I have a vision.

- Right.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

So, what's the vision?

Uh, well, I want to turn this

into the honeymoon wing.

Not just a place for newlyweds,

but for anyone who wants to

have a nice romantic getaway.

Okay, well look,

I know you have dinner plans,

so why don't I help

you get set up?

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I'll be just fine.

I know.

What's the plan with this stuff?

This is for the honeymoon

welcome basket.

So, we got a

charcuterie board for two,

some champagne glasses.

Uh, truffles, and

of course, bubbles.

Ahh. And the uh...

s'mores kit?

Uh yeah, that's for

by the bonfire.

Actually, you know what,

I've got an idea for it.

What is it?

You'll see.

Okay, there we go.

Like that.

Ah, now that is

some mood lighting.

Exactly.

Perfect for...

Ahem. Da, da, da-da!

S'mores in bed?

Yep.

I don't think so.

Really?

Really.

- Alright.

- Okay.

- There we go.

- Alright.

This feels more

like a cozy escape.

Truffle darling?

You know? So we get the

whole experience.

Oh, but of course.

Ahem.

What are you doing?

Well, we already broke

into the truffles

and I figured this

deserved a toast.

So, you know, for a

decorator we never hired

you've

done an incredible job.

Thank you.

Cheers.

You know, it's not like I

didn't wanna do the assignment.

I was just worried that

it would be obvious

to whoever got my letter that,

well, you know, I struggled.

And so after the first one,

I just did what I always did

I passed it out for

someone else to write.

So in your first letter, the

story about the cardinal,

that was true?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

I mean, as sad as it was,

it was kind of beautiful

to watch them.

That's why I'm hoping

that that male cardinal

or some other bird nests here.

You know, it's obvious

you're pretty settled here,

so why don't you offer to

buy the place?

I don't know.

I guess some of my old

insecurities are at play.

I don't really think I could

take on something like that,

to be honest.

I believe you could.

Um, I should probably

go get ready for dinner.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Okay.

Have fun.

Thanks.

Oh, thank you.

Well, that's him.

- That's Darian.

- Curtain's up.

Here we go.

You, you look resplendent!

Oh, and thank you. So do you.

Thank you.

Oh, thanks.

Wh- Why is he

acting like this is a date?

It's not a date. It's

just a- a meet and greet.

You're really into her,

aren't you?

Well, yeah, yeah, of course.

I mean, she's

into me too.

She just needs to get past

this whole pen pal thing.

Oh, thank you so much.

Wow. Look at those oysters--

Yeah, uh, I don't eat

bottom feeders.

There- there's too many toxins.

Oh, oh, of course.

Yeah. We can just pass on those.

Uh maybe we could start with

some drinks, maybe some wine?

Actually, I don't like to

drink. It poisons the body.

But I'll have a virgin mai tai.

If you hold the luau.

Hi, sorry.

Um.

Could I, um, get a

glass of Pinot, please?

The biggest one you have.

And a virgin mai tai please.

Thank you so much.

So, I know it's been a

really long time,

but I'm just curious,

what made you agree to

write Josh's assignment?

Does the why really matter?

I mean, look at us.

The letters opened up

the universe and,

brought us together. Right?

Right.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

How do they look to

you? Do they look happy?

Uh, it's hard to say.

Although she is

doing that hair thing.

- Yeah.

- What is that?

Is that good? Is that bad, what?

It's flirting 101.

Yep.

- Well, cheers.

- Cheers.

So um, what do you do?

- I'm a healer.

- Hmm.

- You see these hands?

- Mm-hm.

I discovered they have

a very powerful energy.

It's the reason why I eat

clean and of course...

give thanks and love my body

so that my hands can

love my clients.

Hmm. Eat Pray Love.

Yes. The movie.

Yeah. Right.

Does that mean you're

a movie buff?

Uh not anymore. The blue light

really disrupts my inner energy.

Uh but I do love a good book.

Actually,

my guilty pleasures are

romance novels.

Oh yeah. I-I love romance.

The universe has spoken.

Well, this has been lovely.

- Thank you.

- No, thank you.

Actually, if you would let me,

I'd like to treat you to a

day at the spa.

That way I can show you

what I'm really about.

Oh! Sure, yeah okay.

Wonderful. We can begin

our day at 10 o'clock

in the morning and until then...

Namaste.

Goodnight.

So?

So it was um, yeah, it was nice.

Nice?

Nice is what you call

your neighbor

who waters the garden for

you while you're away.

Wouldn't you call Peter nice?

Honey, after 10 years

of marriage,

if you could call your husband

nice, he deserves an award.

So, what about a connection?

Yeah, or a vibe?

I mean, he loves romance novels.

Nobody loves romance

more than I do.

You got that right.

So yeah, I guess I should um...

give him a chance.

Oh man. Thank you

for that dinner, man.

Nic is truly a beautiful

woman inside and out.

I mean, I look forward to

getting to know her better.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! There is no

"getting to know her better".

Okay, the plan was you meet,

you play along, and then you

send her back to me, all right?

But I can't help if our

energies align.

See, you don't have energy.

We have energy. She and I.

So use that energy to show

her how wrong you are for her,

no offense, and how

right I am. Got it?

And I'll make good on my promise

to send the clients in the

inn to your... healing hands.

Whatever you say.

I see you have enlisted

the local yoga instructor

to conspire with you?

He's all I could find,

because I don't have time

to track down the guy

who actually helped me

write the letters,

and I can't even remember

his last name.

It was like Douglas or

Donald or something.

Well, as long as you're sure.

Well, I'm not sure Roy, okay?

But I mean, if I can

just show Nic

that I'm the one she

should be with,

then it'll all be worth it.

I hope.

Think it was a good idea

to use the best

looking guy in town?

No, it was not. No it was not.

Better luck next time.

Hey.

Hey.

How was uh, dinner last night?

Uh yeah, it was um, fine.

Darian seems really in

tune with everything.

Well, I hope it's

everything you imagined.

I just wanna be sure,

that's all.

Yeah.

Nic, listen, there's

- something I need to tell you.

- Oh, sorry.

My ride's here, so I'll

see you later?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Hey, listen, uh

tell the front desk I'll be

tied up a little bit, all right?

Thank you.

So um, what's your specialty?

Is it meditation or reiki?

Yoga and massage.

Oh yeah. I- I love yoga.

I, I actually do it at home.

I follow this one woman

online. She's great.

She's all about the burn

and the power.

Mm. My kind of yoga is

a bit more mindful

and without the

interference of blue light.

Oh, [chuckles] right.

The blue light, yeah.

Hey, you two.

Josh? What are you doing here?

Just thought I'd come by and

check this place out again.

Make sure it's worthy of

a referral to my guests.

So what are you two up to?

I was thinking I was

going to give Nicole

a deep tissue massage.

- A massage?

- Mm-hmm.

Really?

Well, you know,

I just thought maybe a

yoga class was more in line

with what, what we, I mean

what you, you had planned.

Don't worry, she'll be

in good hands.

Now if you'll just step in here.

Yeah, of course. Of course.

Please, make yourself

comfortable on the bed.

Oh. Oh, okay, yeah, um.

You know, you could probably

really spruce up this room

if you just added a

couple of plants.

Like a eucalyptus or an

aloe vera or...

Oh yeah, that feels really nice.

Relax.

Take this time to

surrender the senses

to what you're feeling right now

in the present.

Hmm.

We're going to

clear the pathways.

That's it.

Just breathe.

Feel the energy of my hands

as it flows from me to you.

Okay, that's it!

Josh?!

Josh, Josh!

What are you doing?

Yes, what

are you doing?

This is a place of healing--

Healing? Really?

Because that didn't

look like healing.

And the rules of healing

were very clearly explained.

Well I can't help it if

the universe has spoken

and has brought us together.

It wasn't the universe that

brought you together, it was--

Buddha!

I knew nothing good would

come of this charade!

Charade? What charade?

Nic, I was gonna tell

you this morning, okay?

Tell me what?

That I only know Darian from

hosting yoga at the inn.

So you two didn't meet

in university?

The only school I went to

was the school of life.

- I can't believe this.

- Nic, come on, Nic.

I can explain, okay.

Listen, I'm sorry.

Nic, Nic, come on.

I was only doing it so

you could get this whole,

"who actually wrote the

letters?" thing

out of your system, okay?

So you could see that it

doesn't matter

because I'm the one

you should be with.

Really?

Says the person who

manipulated this situation

not once, but twice?

Okay, okay I get it,

it was a stupid idea.

And if I knew where

this guy Mark is,

who actually wrote the

assignment, I'd find him.

But I didn't have time to

figure it out.

And I had to do something

because you were leaving.

Mark. That's his name now?

Excuse me.

The woman at the front desk

told me you were the manager?

I'm Becky,

the designer.

Oh, well look at that.

Looks like someone else might be

guilty of a little manipulation.

You know what, Becky?

Don't wait until next

week to start,

I'm sorry. Who was that?

Just the woman I

should be spending

the rest of my life with.

I'm so sorry for dragging

you all out here for my

- stupid romanticized ideas.

- Hey, no.

Nobody dragged

anyone anywhere, okay?

And despite everything,

this is the most fun

I've had in a while.

I agree.

But, we didn't solve your dilemm

Well, yeah, but that's

all my own doing.

I've been trying so hard

to find the perfect person

that I've just been

sabotaging everything.

I know why you're

trying so hard.

My dad left my mom

when I was 12.

It wasn't ideal.

I'm sorry.

It was hard too.

I mean, my parents didn't

even like each other.

You know what, from here on out,

no more sappy, happy

movie endings

because I've already

got so much.

You know, I've got you guys.

I've got my business.

So what about Warren?

I don't know.

Hey, it's okay if you don't.

Right guys?

- Absolutely.

- Yep.

And we're gonna be right

here until you figure it out.

All right.

We gotta get packing, 'cause

this bus leaves in an hour.

Hey.

So I know it feels

like right now

the best thing to do is give up.

But just be sure. Okay?

Because to be honest, even

after 10 years,

sometimes I'm still not sure

I shouldn't have given

Byron another shot.

And I know he had

commitment issues.

- Mm-hmm.

- I know.

But sometimes I just

wonder, you know, what if?

Yeah.

Would we be together?

So just don't give up too soon.

- Thanks, Syd.

- Yeah.

Hey.

Josh, I'm really not interested

in any more of your shenanigans.

- I'm leaving.

- I know, I know.

And this isn't about that.

It's about the honeymoon wing

we decorated together.

I sent some photos of it to

the owners and they loved it.

Which is why they wanna

hire you officially

to do this whole place.

Wow, um, that's great.

Don't worry, I um-

I won't be here.

I accepted a job out

west, so I leave tomorrow.

One more thing.

What is that?

I hope you find what

you're looking for.

You ready?

Uh yeah. Ready as ever.

Do you think you could

drop me off at Warren's?

I think I need to see him.

Yeah, of course. Come on.

I still believe

But not for me

I still believe

What d'you think she's

decided to do?

I don't know.

- Oh.

- Hey, how'd it go?

Um, I broke it off.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- Sorry.

- Oh no, it's okay.

You know, Warren's a great guy,

but he's not the one for

me and I can't settle.

At least, not yet.

Nor should you.

Do you guys want to watch

No, you guys go ahead.

I've got a client to meet

first thing in the morning,

so I think I'm just

gonna head to bed.

But we'll have a last brunch

before you guys go?

- Okay?

- Of course.

- Yeah.

- Love you guys.

- Love you.

- Good night.

- Yeah.

- Bye.

"Dear Nic,

I hope my writing's not

too hard to read,

but here's my best effort,

which if I'd made in university,

would've made me your

true pen pal.

But I can't undo any of

what's happened.

So I did some digging, to

maybe help you in the future,

because who doesn't love

a happy ending?"

Guys?

Guys, is Nic still here?

She just left.

Well, I was checking to

see if I left

my slippers in her room

and I saw this.

Wait, the name of the

bottom is that...?

Yeah, that's him.

That's who wrote the letters.

- Hey!

- Oh hi.

Wow, I can see you're

ready for brunch.

Actually, we wanna tell

you something before we go.

We found him. Mark Duggan,

you're pen pal.

- Oh no, guys, it's fine.

- No, no, no, don't worry.

We called just to make

sure it's really him

and he's only 30 minutes away.

- 20.

- Guys, I don't know.

Look, if you don't want to,

we get it.

But he said he'd like to

meet you, so I say go for it.

Okay, fine, I'll do it,

but only so that I can

put this thing for rest

- for good, okay?

- Okay.

So you took the job, huh?

Yep. I am leaving the roost.

Well, I am gonna miss you,

my friend.

I'll miss you too.

Well, I should do my

final rounds.

Until we meet again.

No doubt.

Josh?

Keep looking for those signs.

I'll try.

Okay, here we are.

You want us to

go with you?

Uh, no, I think I'll be okay.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

Okay.

- Nic?

- Hi.

You must be Mark.

I am. It's a pleasure

to meet you.

You too.

When your friends called,

they explained you were the

recipient of the letters I wrote

for Josh for the pen

pal assignment.

I am. Yeah.

I, I hope this doesn't

seem too odd.

I've just-

I've just always really

wanted to meet the person

who wrote those letters.

Your words, they, they

really stayed with me.

So did yours.

- Really?

- Of course.

I know the letters weren't

exactly meant for me,

but I read them all.

I was horribly insecure

and having a hard time

accepting who I was.

But your words, they, they

helped me to love myself.

- Oh.

- Everything okay?

Collin, this is Nic.

Nic, this is my husband.

- Hi.

- It's a pleasure.

Yeah, it is.

What about you? I hope the

letters helped you in some way?

Uh, yeah, that's actually

kind of a funny story.

Or uh, maybe it

will be one day.

Uh I actually met Josh

thinking he was you,

thinking he was the one

that wrote the letters.

So they all just kind of took

me on a wild goose chase.

But knowing that they

helped you, I mean,

that makes it all worthwhile.

Right. Except you're wrong.

Wh-what do you mean?

Well, Josh read all

your letters too.

And he told me his thoughts

on them and what he felt.

So the sentiment in the

words, that was all him.

I was just the one who

put it on paper.

So the letters did lead

me to the one.

I've gotta go. I-I'm so sorry.

Collin, Mark, it was

so lovely to meet you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, we'll, we'll do

brunch or wine or both!

Um, but I have to go,

thank you so much.

Josh was right. He was right.

He's the one.

Who, who's the one?

Josh, except he's leaving.

I have to stop him!

Ah, the line at the end

just kicked into voicemail.

It's okay. So we're

hitting the Indy.

Whoo, whoo!

Roy.

Roy, is Josh still here?

I really need

to talk to him.

I'm sorry, but he's already

left for the mountains.

Oh. Okay, thanks.

It's obvious

you're pretty settled here.

So why don't you offer to

buy the place?

I don't really

think I could take on

something like that.

I believe you could.

Ooh

Nic?

Josh.

Josh, I-I came back

to stop you.

Or, or at least to tell you that

your letters did lead

me to the one,

to the one who makes me feel,

to the one who I connected with.

It's you.

And I know that I am

probably too late, but--

No, no, no, no, no.

You're not too late.

Because I'm not leaving.

I mean, I was,

but then I remembered

how you believed in me

and so I figured maybe that

was the sign that I needed

to show me I should stay

and make an offer on this place.

Especially now that I

have the best designer.

I hope?

Does that mean...?

It means that you had

me at, "I came back."

Where would I be if I cannot

Find me, yeah

Hello!

Oh, my Gosh!

Aww.

We're traveling in

dreams without you

I'm so lost without you...

I'm feeling light

As a feather

When I'm with you

Yeah, yeah
