(soft music)

(upbeat pop song)

(distant phone ringing)

(sputtering)

(scoffing)
- Please work. Come on.

(sighing)
Oh, no-no, no-no.

(woman): What's taking so long?

- Coming!

(liquid pouring)
- Yes!

(whispering): Oh, thank you.

(uplifting music)

- Wednesday, I have Morgan's
chat show, then the later show.

Thursday is the CDN Awards
and Friday through Sunday,

I'm speaking at the
Travel Convention. Over to you.

- Yes, me. Well, I have made a
list of possible locations
for your next book.

- I know, you sent me an email.
Have you made any progress?

- Absolutely. I've planned
a route to visit all ten in the
next week. I head off tomorrow.

- Good work. Let me know
how it goes.

- Okay, will do.

- By the way, I read that blog
you sent me, the one you wrote
about New York.

- You did?

- Yeah. I read all the articles
you send me.

It was really well written.
- Thank you.

- It was just missing
a bit of heart.

- Heart?

- Make it personal.

Why did you choose
that district?

- Well, I used to go there,
with my ex.

He first bought me flowers
at the florist on 4th Street.

- You see? That's what I mean.
Now I'm interested.

It's complicated, it's messy
and it has heart.

(chuckling)

You know what this is?

- That's your lucky pen.

You had it inscribed
after your first commission.

- This pen has a story.

Take it.

- Jenna, I couldn't possibly
take this.

- I want you to have it. Use it,
write everything from the heart.

I know being my assistant
isn't your dream job.

You want to write
your own travel guides.

- One day.

But I really enjoy
working for you, Jenna.

- It's okay to want more.
You've got real potential.

- You think so?
- Absolutely.

But so do a dozen other writers
I get sent articles
from every day.

You need to find a way
to stand out.

Make it personal.

(distant phone ringing)

I was gonna wait to mention this
but now's as good a time as any.

I remember what it was like
when I was getting started.

Which is why I have
a proposition for you.

- Okay, let's hear it.

And she says, if I can prove
myself in finding the right
location for her next book,

then...

- Then what?

- Then I can write a chapter
of my own in her next book.

- 'Kay, wait, wait, wait.

Jenna Ashcroft?
- Yeah.

Two award-winning novelist
and travel blogger,

creator of Jenna's Journeys--
- Mm-hmm.

- ...has offered to let you
write a chapter in her next
book? Emma, this is huge.

- Okay, it wasn't
really an offer.
She raised it as a possibility.

- We should be celebrating.

- Well, I still have
to find the locations.

- Which you will.
You are brilliant at your job.

- You're my best friend,
you have to say that.

- Em, no one deserves this
more than you.

You know, especially
after everything with...

Andrew.

- Ditching me at the altar?

You can say it. I'm fine.

- I just think this is a great
opportunity for a fresh start.

- Well, won't be easy
finding the locations.

This isn't like
Jenna's other books.

- What do you mean?

- Well, Jenna wants
to dig deeper.

You know, she wants
to write about those crazy myths
that small towns have

and then debunk them.

- What, like
investigative journalism?

- Yeah. Kind of.
(sighing)

It's gonna be hard
finding locations

and getting people
to open up about those myths.

- Well, good thing
you love a challenge.

(scoffing)

Wish I was more like Jenna.
You know, she just...

She really walks into a room

and people notice her.

And she's so...

cutthroat but really good
with people too.

It's like nothing ever goes
wrong for her.

Oh, which reminds me...

- When you travel a lot like
I do, there's bound to be
setbacks but I always think,

"Make every setback
an opportunity."

If I have an unexpected layover,

it's writing time,
exploring time.

I don't waste a second.

- She is so fierce.

- Totally.

(gentle music)

So this woman actually wanted
300 cupcakes.

- One for every day
she's known and loved him.

(snickering)
- Oh, wow.
That's some serious sugar.

- Oh, yeah.

You know, my bakery might not
take me on wild adventures
like your job does

but definitely keeps me busy.

You know, sometimes I do wish
I had a job like yours,

just jetting off to a new place
every month.

- And what about Dane, your
six-foot-two, handsome husband?

- He can do laundry,
he'd survive.
(laughing)

- Yeah, he might, you wouldn't.
You'd miss him within a day.

- Mm.

- Anyway, hopefully soon,
you'll have a new addition
keeping you busy.

(pensive music)

What have I said?

- No... it's not you, it...

You know I want to have a baby
so badly but...

it's just not happening
for us.

- Oh, Molly. I'm so sorry.

- We've tried everything.

You know, the special shakes
in the morning, exercise plans,
special scented candles.

(scoffing)
- Scented candles?

- Don't ask.

- Hey.

It'll happen. I know it.

You know, I can't think
of anyone else who would make
a better mom.

- I can't think of anyone better
to find Jenna her locations.

Your name will be in print
in no time.

(chuckling)
- Thanks.

- To hope.

- To... new beginnings.

(uplifting music)

Okay, Jenna. Yeah,
I'm heading off.

Absolutely. Okay.

I'll send you updates.
Of course. Bye.

(exhaling sharply)

(upbeat music)

You've got this.

(hissing, engine sputtering)

Come on.

(sighing)

(birds chirping)

(shouting)
Hello?

(mysterious music)

- "Welcome to Love.

Winner of the most welcoming
town for 20 years running."

(scoffing)
What is this place?

(hissing)

Hello?

(man humming)
Excuse me.

Hi?

What would Jenna do?
(playful music)

Hey!

Hello?

Hello?!

Excuse me?!

(gasping)

Oh!

Uh...

Sorry?

- Are you kidding me?

Look at me, I'm soaking.

- You pelted me with berries.

- Well, I was just trying
to get your attention.

- I couldn't hear you.
You threw my berries at me?

- I didn't have a choice,
you weren't listening to me

and I didn't have anything
of my own to throw at you.

- What else have
you taken from here?
- Nothing.

Look, I'm really behind schedule

and I had to be somewhere
an hour ago

but my car died so,
you know, I figured, in a town
called Love,

people have got to be helpful,
right.

- Uh, never heard that one
before.

Whoa, is that the time?
I'm sorry,
I actually have to go.

- Okay, well maybe you could
just point me in the direction
of the nearest garage?

(exhaling sharply)

So much for this being the most
welcoming town in the state.

(chickens clucking)

- You're late.

- I'm sorry.
I got held up.

(grunting)
- Oh, and... there was...

uh, well... I lost some berries
along the way.

- Well, I could use
your muscles.

The chickens got out again.

- Oh, Mima, I can't stop.
Duty calls.
But I will come back later.

- Oh?
- I promise.

(chickens clucking)

(tense music)

Hey, Dad.

Sorry.
I know I'm late.

- What do I always say?
If you can't keep time--

- You can't keep a town running.

Good job I don't have to then,
Dad.

- Not yet, anyway.

- I don't get why this meeting
with the Awards panel is
such a big deal.

You've won Most Welcoming Town
in the State 20 years running.

- And I want to make it 21.

This is my last year as Mayor

and I want to hand you a legacy
you can be proud of.

- Yeah, but we've been through
this.

I don't even know
if I want to run.
- Why not?

- Because it's something
60-year-old men do.
Not someone like me.

- We need some young blood.

- Shouldn't you be on your way?

- Here's the list of jobs.

- Oh, if you see a woman
soaking wet trying to flag you
down, just keep driving.

She was having car trouble
but she's kind of strange.

- Did you stop and help her?

- I had to get here.

(scoffing)
- That's not the spirit of Love.

Don't worry, I'll send Al
to sort it out.

- See ya, Dad.

- Try again.

(engine sputtering)

Ah, yeah, that's gonna need
to be replaced.

- Seriously?

(exhaling deeply)
Okay, how long is this
gonna take?

- Ah, it's gonna be tomorrow
at the earliest.

(scoffing)
- Tomorrow? No, that's not
possible.

I have a list of places
I have to visit and I'm already
half a day behind. So...

- Think of it
as an unexpected vacation.

Find yourself a place to stay
and take a look around.

- Where's the nearest hotel?

- You're best to check with the
Mayor's office in the town hall.

- A mayor?

- He's super friendly.
He's actually famous for it.

He might even show you around
if he's having a quiet day.

It's just straight down on the
left. You can't miss it.

- Thanks. Oh, um, do you have
free wi-fi here?

I'm struggling
with my signal.
(chuckling)

(clearing throat)
- Um, not that I know of.

- Great.

(loud rock music playing)

(muffled rock music playing)

(loud rock music continues)

(rock music ends)
(sighing)

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Oh.

Uh, wait.

You are the mayor...

of Love?

That is unbelievable.

You know, not only does
your town need
a more welcoming mayor,

you could also invest
in free wi-fi.

- Is that so?

- Yes, it is.

Now can you direct me
to the nearest hotel?

Al, the mechanic,
he said to ask you.

- This is a nice boutique hotel.

(sighing)
- That sounds divine
after the day I've had.

- Nice pen.

Here's the address.

Oh, and make sure you tell Mima
that Riley sent you.

And once you're settled in,
you should go
to the Romance Novel Café.

- Oh, is that a nice place
to eat?

- Oh, yeah. I'll be there later

and I would love to hear
what you think of the hotel.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- No problem.
- Thank you very much.

- See you later.

(footsteps receding)

(door closing)

(loud rock music playing)

(mischievous music)

(chickens clucking)

(mumbling): 868.

Well, maybe it's cute inside?

Hello?

- Mima, hi.
Riley sent me, the Mayor.

- Strange choice of outfit
but best get started.

- Started with what?

- They like corn.

(clucking)

- Then can I have a room?

Oh, okay then.

(playful music)

(chickens clucking)

(gentle music)

(dishes clattering)

- Kay? The special,
The Food of Love, what's in it?

- You think you're really funny,
don't you?

- Did the hotel not live up
to your standards?

- No because you sent me
to the wrong address.

- It was a joke.

- Do you know
how fast chickens run?

- I do.

- How did a guy like you become
a mayor of a town called Love?

- Oh, he's not the Mayor.

At least not yet.
That's his dad, Mitch.

- Is that so?

Who does that?

Lies to make themselves
sound more important
than they really are.

(quirky music)

- I didn't lie, I just didn't
correct you.

But why don't you sit down,
have some dinner?

The Pizza My Heart is
a personal favourite of mine.

- Hmm.
I still have to find a hotel.

(bell chiming)
- What?

- That's not the actions
of a future mayor,
if you ask me.

- Fine, save me
a slice of pizza.

- Hey, hold up.

At least let me show you
where the real hotel is.

- Knowing you,
we'll end up in a barn.

- No more games.
I promise.

- I can find my own way.
Thanks.

- Okay, but
that's the wrong way.

(playful music)

- Fine.

(gentle music)

- So, what brings you to Love?

- Apart from the friendly
people?
(chuckling)

I'm on a trip location scouting.
- Oh, do you work in the movies?

- No. Books.

You heard of Jenna's Journey's?
- They're like travel guides
or something?

What, are you looking
for new locations?

- Yes, something like that.

- Must be pretty cool
being an author.

- Um, no, I'm--
- Are you writing about Love?

- No.

- If you did,
what would you say?

- Nothing good.
- Look, about before--

- Thanks for showing me the way.
It's the least you could do.

(stammering)
- You, um...

(sighing deeply)

- Yes.

(Emma on the phone): Ah, Molly.
He was a total nightmare.

He actually pretended
to be the Mayor.

Okay, yeah, he's the Mayor's son
but... Oh, oh, and the best
part,

this town is called Love.

- Uh, I've heard of that
place...

on a fertility blog.

- Fertility?
I think it's a little small
to have a fertility centre here

but it's just me.

- No, no. It's more
unconventional than that...

You know, I'll send you
the article. - Sure.

But as soon as my car is fixed,
I am outta here.

(leaves rustling)

(mischievous music)

- Dad, I would have done that.

- It was on your list.
- Was it?

- Tell the truth, I could use
the distraction anyway.

- What's up?
- Let's just say

my meeting with
the Awards Committee yesterday

wasn't exactly
a roaring success.
- How so?

- They said that there's no
denying that Love's
a welcoming town

but what are we doing this year
that's extra special?

How do we go that extra mile?

(scoffing)
- That's ridiculous.

You always go the extra mile and
then another for good measure.

- I know but they want
something new to shout about.

I have to submit
a report within a week.

How 'bout we bat around
a few thoughts?

- Dad, you know I don't feel
the same way about this town
as you do.

(chuckling)

- Come on, buddy,
help an old man out.

- Okay. Fine, half an hour.

- That's my boy.

We need a fresh pair of eyes.

- Maybe that annoying woman from
yesterday could have helped.

The one whose car broke down.
Travel writer.

Works for Jenna's Journey's?

- Jenna's Journey's?

Are you sure it wasn't
Jenna Ashcroft herself?

- I thought she said her name
was Emma

but I guess
it could have been Jenna.

- The jacket's a little
messed up, I spilled
some red wine on it in Sicily

but could that be her?

- Dad, I can barely see
this photo, I mean,
it kinda looks like her.

She had that pen.
I remember that.

- Really?!
Jenna Ashcroft in Love.

Award-winning writer
and travel blogger.

When Jenna puts
her seal of approval on a place,

she puts it on the map.

This is perfect. We can get her
to write a blog about Love.

- Wait a second. She wasn't here
to write about the town.

- No. But she was here

and even if you're just passing
through, you can't help but...

- Fall in love with Love.

- Wait until the Awards
Committee hears about this.

We can hold an event,
do a reading from her post.

- What are you doing? Every time
you go on my computer,
you mess up the settings.

- I'm emailing Jenna.

No point doing it
from my account,
I never check it.

- What are you gonna say?

- I'm going to ask to meet her,

then you are going to show her
what Love is all about.

- Me? Dad, there's something
you should know before you--

- Sent!

- She's only in town
while Al fixes her car.

She's gonna be
on her way by now.

- Then you best get over
to that hotel.

- And do what?

- Use your charms. Lay down in
front of her car if you have to.

- Dad.
- Son.

We have a week to impress
the Awards Committee

and secure our 21st victory
as The Most Welcoming Town
in the State.

- But...

- What are you waiting for?

Go!

Smile!

(cheerful music)

- Oh, you went for the eggs?
Good choice.

- Well, it was about the only
dish on the menu that wasn't
a sharing platter, so...

- So, I went by your hotel
and they said you must have
checked out.

- What did you want?

- My dad, he would like to meet
you before you leave.

- Your dad wants to meet me?

- Yeah. I don't know if you got
his email but he's a big fan
of yours.

- I'm not following.

- Look, I know we didn't get off
on the right foot

but he's the actual mayor
and he's a decent man.

And he said if Jenna Ashcroft
is in my town--

- Jenna Ashcroft?
- Yeah.

Like I said, he's a big fan
of your books. He put two
and two together.

Just a quick hello
and it would make his year.

- Mm-hmm.

- Dad's really excited.
He's been talking about it
all morning.

- Great.
- Yeah.

(exhaling slowly)
- Be more Jenna.
Be more Jenna. Be more...

- Jenna?

- Yeah, coming.

- Okay, come on in.

- Jenna! Welcome to Love.

It's an absolute honour.

- Oh, please.

- I've read all of
your travel guides.

The way you describe a place,
it's as if we can see it
through your eyes.

(chuckling)

I was planning on coming
to a book signing.

- But you didn't, right?

- How'd you know that?

- Oh, well, I would never forget
a face like your dad's.

- I thought that as
you were staying here um,

Riley here could show you
some of our most famous sites.

- What?

(both): I don't think
that he wants to--
(chuckling)

- Uh, that sounds like a really
lovely idea

but I'm just waiting
for my car to be fixed, so...

- You couldn't stay on?

- No. No, I'm afraid not.

(phone buzzing)
Oh, um...

Oh, that's, that's Al,
the mechanic.

Hmm.
Excuse me.

Hello?

- We don't need her help.

- She couldn't stay a day?
- Okay, we had another run-in.

She said if she was going
to write about Love, it wouldn't
be anything good.

- I can't believe this.

- How was I supposed to know
who she was?

I mean, if you ask me,
we dodged a bullet.

I can't think of a worse way
to spend a day than with an
arrogant, full of herself--

(Emma clears her throat)

Is your car ready?

- No, it's not.

- Brilliant!

- Mm.

Betty's Wool Shop.

- She hand knits with love.

- Mm.

The Love Well. The Love Maze.

The Animal Sanctuary.

Oh, the Love Bug.

- The local school children
made her from recycled bottles.

To show their love
for the world.

- Mm.

- I'm sure there's better things
you could be doing.

(scoffing)

- Every day in Love is
an adventure.

We've got
all kinds of legends.

- Legends?

Like myths?

- Stories that are passed down
from generation to generation
about Love.

- You know what?
Why not?

- Well, now you have the list.
I don't think you really need
a guide.

- Of course she does.

And make sure everyone you meet
knows about our VIP guest.

(chuckling)

- That's really,
really not necessary.

- You are the most famous person
we've ever had in Love.

Everyone is gonna want
to meet you.

(chuckling nervously)

- Wow.

(cheerful music)

- Hey, um, you forgot this.

- Oh.

Thank you.

- Betty's cardigans are a highly
sought-after item around here.

- Oh. Do you have one?
- I do. It's cozy.

- Hmm.

I think it's a little warm
to try this on right now, so...

Thanks.

Doesn't this get to be
a bit much?

- What?
- All of this.

Tie the Knot?
- It's a shoe store.

- Okay, Perfect Catch?
- Fishing supplies.

- It's like living in a--
- Greetings card?
- Yeah.

Okay, seriously?

(scoffing)
The Love Muffin?

- Okay, we can just call it
a day. My dad wanted me to show
you the Love Well but--

- Oh, no-no. I want to see
the Love Well.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Unless you want me to
tell your dad that you gave up
on the Love tour?

- Ah, nope. I just didn't think
you were having a good time.

- The best.

(scoffs)

(birds chirping)

So, this is where the town
used to get all their water?

- In the beginning.
But nowadays,

we have running water
and electricity,
just like the city folk.

(dryly)
- Ha-ha.

- Yeah.
- Hey, guys.
Welcome to the Love Well.

- Hi.

What's the deal with this
guarding of the well?

- Like everything in Love,
there's a story behind it.
Riley...

- Well, the legend has it
that a young man was getting
water for his beloved

when he fell into
its icy depths.

With so much love
still left to give,

his beloved set up a house where
anyone could go that needed her.

So powerful was her compassion

that anyone who drinks from the
well gets their heart's desires.

- Hmm.
- How'd I do?

- Couldn't have said it better
myself.

Many women since have taken on
the role.

Would you like to meet
the Guardian? She's free now.

- I think we will give it
a rest, thanks.

(cheerful music)

- So, what was that that
you said about the guardian?
They change every year?

- I thought you said
you weren't actually writing
about this place?

- Well, I'm a big believer
in making every setback
an opportunity.

(chuckling)
That well story is so crazy.

That people actually believe
that, I can't believe it.

(subdued music)

- So, where's next?

- That's it for today.

- Are you seriously upset
with me because I don't believe
in some ridiculous myth?

- And you think I do?

- Well, yeah.

I thought everyone
in Love did.

- Yeah, well, I'm the exception
but at least I'm not rude
to them about it.

I don't care if you believe
in this town's myths or not.

What I do care about is
you making fun
of good hardworking people.

- I wasn't.

- It wasn't just at the well.

The way you looked at the
cardigan that Betty gave you,

like you wouldn't be
caught dead in it.

- Okay, I didn't say that.
- You didn't have to.

You know, Betty only started
making knitwear
after her husband passed.

It was the only thing
keeping her going.

(stammering)
- Look, I just find real wool
to be itchy.

- You could learn a lot
from the people of Love.

(scoffing)
- You know,

the only thing that I've learned
about love is that it hurts,

so, I'm not exactly the target
audience for loving love.

Sorry if I'm not buying
into all of this.

Besides, it's tacky.

- Not to the people who live
here. People like my dad.

We are the most welcoming town
in the state for a reason.

And part of that is we never
make people feel small.

You don't have to be a
high-flying author to get
a little respect around here.

- Okay, no, you know what?
Hang on a minute.

You have been anything
but friendly to me
ever since I got here.

And your dad has you acting
like the poster boy for Love,
showing me around,

when you think I can't tell
that the truth is
that you hate the place.

I mean if I was gonna write--
- That's not true.

- It isn't true?
Well, then, what's your problem?

- I am ecstatic about this
place, the town, everything.

- Really?
- Really!

So, on to the Love Bug.

- What? Whatever.

(scoffs)

(birds chirping)

- Oh, my gosh! That's the place
I was talking about,
the Love Well.

I mean, so many women
have gotten pregnant after
drinking from the Love Well.

- Don't tell me you actually
believe that stuff, Molly?

- Well, at this point,
I'd believe anything.

Anyway, it's not about
the well water,
it's about meeting the guardian.

And she does not do video calls.

- Well, have you made
another appointment
with an actual doctor?

- Ah, no. No, we've decided
to wait that out.

Dane thinks
I'm becoming fixated on it.

Anyway, is Jenna interested
in Love as a location?

- Well, I hope so.
(chuckling)

Can't believe I didn't think
of it sooner.

- Well, you were busy being
distracted by a wild goose chase

or should I say,
wild chicken chase?
(chuckling)

Anyway, what about all those
people that you've met?

How will they feel if Jenna
does an exposé on their town?

- Well, sometimes as a writer

you just have
to make tough decisions.

(mellow music)

(dishes clattering)

(bells chiming)

(gentle music)

Let me guess,
my car isn't ready yet.

- I'm really sorry. But I've got
a good feeling it's gonna be in
tomorrow.

- That's fine. No rush at all.

- I thought you couldn't wait
to get out of here.

- No, no, not at all.
I love the place.

- Oh, I need a name
for the order.

Um, did you say,
Emma something?

- No, no. You must have
misheard.

It's Jenna.
Jenna Ashcroft.

- Hmm. Sorry.

Oh, I see you picked up
one of Betty's finest.

Been waiting
six months for mine.
(scoffs)

- Oh, well, it is well
worth the wait. Comfiest
cardigan I've ever worn.

Now, tell me, Al,

have you ever visited
the guardian of the well?

(chuckling)

(door creaking)

(knocking)

- Jenna.

- Yup.
(chuckling)
Ah, that's me.

My car still isn't ready

so I thought I'd do some more
exploring if Riley has time.

- Oh, I'm sure he can make time.

He's just out
delivering groceries.

- Groceries?
- Oh, it's not his job.

He does it for the old ladies
in town

who are not so steady
on their feet.

He's got quite a list of people
he looks after these days.

Why don't you wait for him?

- Oh, no, it's okay. I don't
want to be a distraction.

- It would be a welcome one.
Trust me.

(chuckling)
- Okay.

So, um...
What are you working on?

- Oh, I'm writing a report
for the Most Welcoming Town
Awards Committee

but it's proving more difficult
than I expected.

- Mm.
Have you made an outline?

I find that helps
when I'm writing.

- I cannot believe
that I am getting tips
from a world-class author.

(chuckling)
- Yeah, well, I guess so.

- I don't suppose you could help
out a little bit,

um, take a look
at what I got so far?

- I'm not really sure
how I can help with that.

- You're experiencing the place
for the first time.

Riley let slip you might
feature us in your next book.

- Ah. Yeah. I don't know.

I'm not so sure about that
just yet.

- Well, surely we're the ideal
town for a guide.

You know what would look good
in my report?

If you were to write a blog
about the place.

We could have an event.

You could read from the book.

You could talk
all about your time in Love.

- Mm.
Why don't I help you
with your report?

That's a start.

- Oh...

(softly): Okay...

- What's your verdict?

- Why don't we throw around
a few more ideas?

Maybe not these ones.

(inhaling deeply)
- Oh.

(cheerful music)
(leaves rustling)

He made the whole batch
of lemonade with no sugar.

(chuckling)
- Really?

- His mom just smiled,
drank a whole glass,

said it was the best lemonade
she ever tasted.

- Aww, now that's love.

- Seriously, Dad,
the lemonade story? I was seven.

- I'm just entertaining our VIP
while she waits for you.

- What's all this?

- Oh, it's just a little project
that your dad and I have been
working on.

- I thought you'd be
on your way by now.

-Yeah, so did I.

Turns out my car's not ready
for another day,

so, I thought I'd see what
the kind and thoughtful people
of Love have to teach me.

- Well, I have work to do.

- Nothing that can't wait.
- Dad--

- I was thinking maybe you can
check out the animal sanctuary

and then maybe you'll show Jenna
the Love Maze.

- Oh, Love Maze.

- I'm not sure.
- That sounds fun.

Unless you're too busy
delivering groceries.

- Nonsense. He'd be happy
to show you around.
Wouldn't you, Riley?

- Great. I'll grab my stuff.

Thanks, Mitch.

(footsteps receding)

- Remember, be nice.
- I'm always nice.

- I'm serious. Jenna writing
about Love

could make or break
this award for us.

She's this close to writing
a blog post. Don't blow it.

- Fine.

(birds chirping)

- So, I've got a question
for you.

Why are you still here?

- What?
- In Love.

Despite everything you say,

it's clear that you can't stand
the place and all its charm.

- That is not true.

- Oh, please, you've barely
smiled since I met you.

- Well, that as much to do with
the company as it is with--

- All I'm saying is
you could always leave.

There are roads out of here,
you know.

- I thought about it.
I always wanted to travel.

I planned this trip to Europe
after college.

- Mm. Paris is stunning.
Where did you end up?

- Here. I never travelled.

Never went to college
or to Europe.

- Why not?

- My mom got sick.

- Well... it's never
too late to start.

- That's easy for you to say.

- Oh, please.

You know, I barely travelled
growing up when I was a kid.

That's why I'm so passionate
about what I do now.

You know, you can always read
about a place and feel like
you've actually been there.

- So, what makes
a good travel guide?

- Oh.
(exhaling deeply)

When it's, uh... personal.

You know, when you read it

and you can not only see
the places that they're visiting

but you feel like...
you're there.

It's those kinds of books
that can really make or break
any destination.

- Oh, so you got a lot of power
in those hands.

(chuckling)
- Yeah. I guess I do.

Maybe you should
be nicer to me then.

(birds chirping)

(exhaling deeply)
I could have spent all day
feeding those lambs,

they are so cute.
- Well, yours was a lot
more polite than mine.

- That's true.

I can't believe that couple have
basically turned their house

into a hostel for hurt animals.

- Yeah. Jack and Chloe,
they've got hearts of gold.

- Ah, everyone here
really is lovely.

Present company excluded.

- Oh, well this isn't as cute
as the animal sanctuary

but I used to come here
a lot as a kid.

- So, this maze is actually
in the shape of a heart?

- You didn't get that from
the name of the Love Maze?

- All I have to do is
come out on the other side?

- Yeah, but it's not as easy
as it looks.

(chuckling)
- Oh, keep up.

(serene music)

Jenna?

- Riley?

Riley?

Riley?
- I think this is the wrong way.

- I'm telling you,
follow the sun.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- You see? The sun's in the sky,
I don't think it's much help.

(♪♪)

Ready to admit that you're lost?

- Nope.

- So what's the sun saying
to you now?

(sighing)
- That I need to take a break.

- Oh.

(exhaling deeply)

I have something.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

(clanking)

My mom's secret recipe.

- Thanks.

(tender music)

(birds chirping)

Ah, ooh, that's good.

So... when did she pass?

- Um , it will be
ten years this fall.

Oh, you're not writing
that down, are you?

(stammering)
- Uh, no.

I just thought it might be good
to get some background
on the place.

- Oh, I'm the worst person
to ask.

- But you're the mayor's son.
Soon-to-be mayor--

- Mayor of Love.
- Yeah.

(heartfelt music)

You know what,
let's play a game.

- A game?
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh.
- Two truths and a lie.

I'll go first.

- Okay.
- Um...

I am addicted to olives.

Uh, I am a championship
chess player.

And I...

totalled my car
last year.

- Easy, you can't play chess.

- High school champ
for three years running.

- No way.
- Mm-hmm.

- I was high school champion
for four years running.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

- Mm. Well in a town like this
I reckon there's a little less
competition.

-Oh, well, maybe we should play
a game sometime.

- You're on.
- Okay.
(chuckling)

- Oh, and I'm an excellent
driver by the way. I've never
even scratched my car.

- Oh, yeah. Just not
too hot on directions.

- Touché.

(laughing)

Your turn.

- I once purposely set fire
to a barn.

I have six toes
on my right foot,
I'm an only child.

- Okay, that's way too easy.
You're not a fire starter,

you're an only child like me

and you obviously have ten toes
like everyone else
on the planet.

- Wrong.

- Prove it.

(scoffing)
- You really don't want
to see this.

- You're lying.
You're lying.

- People from small towns
have all kinds of quirks.

Okay, no-no, no.
Okay, 'kay, you got me.
'Kay, fine, fine, you got me.

(chuckling)

Um, but I didn't purposely set
fire to the barn.

I was trying to do
something nice for my parents,

so I set up this candle lit
dinner in the barn.

And then candles and hay
don't really mix.
(chuckling)

Everyone called me
Fire Starter.

(chuckling)
- Aww.
- Yeah.

One of the bonuses of
living in a small town,
everyone hears everything.

- I'm sure it's not that bad,
living in a small town.

- Everyone knowing your name
and your business.

Your destiny being mapped out
for you, Mayor of Love.

I don't know.

- It's better than just being
a face in the crowd.

- Yeah, but that's not a problem
for you.

I'm sure everyone knows
your name.
(chuckling)

- Yeah. That's true.

(upbeat cheerful music)

(exhaling deeply)
- Is there a hotline
we can call for lost?

- Are you finally ready
to admit that you are lost?

- We're lost.

- You see, when I was little,
my mom always said
that if I ever got lost,

all I had to do was follow
my heart and I would find
my way home.

- I think that's a lot easier
to do when you're a kid.

- Come on.

(upbeat music)

- What?! You knew the way out
all along?

- I did say that but you said
you wanted to follow the sun,
so...

- Well, how about
an official photo?
- Oh, I'm good thanks.

- Oh, well, it would be a shame
not to support the maze.
Let's go.

Come on.

(chuckling)

Hi.

(upbeat music)

(sighing)
Come on, you're gonna do this.

What would Jenna do?

What would Jenna do?

Thanks for asking me to dinner.

- No problem, I thought
we deserved to celebrate our
victory over the maze today.

- Oh, thanks.

- It's not from me.
That's Love Jam.

- Love Jam?
- I know.

But a group of women here make
it and wanted you to try some.

- Well, thank you.
Can't wait to taste it.

- Spoiler: it tastes pretty much
like regular jam.

(laughing)

Thanks.

Olive you.

Uh, it's a starter.

Olive you...
- Oh, yeah.

- Olives and feta.

I thought it would be nice
while we decide on dinner.

- Great, thank you.

(gentle music)

So, you've been
chasing chickens again.

- Well, Mima's been struggling
since her husband died.

That farm is a lot
to handle on her own.

I actually have
to fix the coop tomorrow.

- You know, you pretend to be
this cynical guy who doesn't
care about anyone or anything.

- Uh, there's no pretending.

- But you're running around
helping old ladies out
with their groceries

and chasing their chickens.

- That's all an average day
in a small town where everyone
knows where you live.

- Well, do you still think
about leaving?

- Road trips are something
you do after college.
Not at our age.

- So, what do you do at our age?
Become Mayor of Love?

- Ideally not.
(chuckling)

- So... what's in between?

- I wish I knew.

- Me too.

- I think
you're doing just fine.

- I just mean that it must be
nice to have people to turn to.

- About that, my dad,

he would like to throw
a mayoral breakfast for you.

- That sounds really great
but I don't know how much longer
I'm here for.

- Which is why he decided
to throw it tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

- Yeah. Having a famous author
in town, doesn't happen
every day.

So, he would like to mark
the occasion

and maybe you could
even sign some of your books?

(chuckling nervously)
- I don't think people want me
to sign their books.

- I know you usually
only do that in the city

but there are a lot of people
in town who would love
your autograph.

And it would mean a lot
to my dad.

- 'Course.

- Plus, it might help
with the Awards Committee.

That award means the world
to him.

- Anything I can do to help.

- Thanks.
- Oh, mm.

(exhaling slowly)

Hi, I'm Jenna Ashcroft.

Jenna, please to meet you.

I'm a world-famous author
and I'm fabulous.

Jenna, I'm sure you've heard
all about me.

Thank you for coming
to my book signing.

What are you doing?

(sighing)

(Molly on voicemail):
Hey, good lookin', I'm too busy
cookin'.

Leave a message
after the beep.

(beeping)
- Hey, Molly. It's me.

Yeah, I could really do
with your advice.

Can you call me back?

(exhaling slowly)

(birds chirping)

Flowers?
- It was my dad's idea.

- They're beautiful.
And tulips are my favourite.

- I did remember you
saying that.

You look nice.

- You don't look
too shabby yourself.
Almost good enough to be--

- Don't say it.
- Surprise! Hi!

- Molly?

Uh, what are you doing here?

- Well, I thought I'd come visit
the well.

Maybe meet this mystery man
who has been keeping you here.

- There's no man.
It's just my car.
- Yeah, whatever you say.

- Okay, look, Molly,
there's something
that I need to tell you.

- Uh, Jenna?
They're all waiting on you.
- Jenna?

- Yeah, sorry, we're having
a mayoral breakfast.

My dad is obsessed with
having a famous author in town.

- Of course. I am used to it.
Being the best friend.

(chuckling)

I have to tell you, I am already
in love with your town.

- Oh, I've never heard that one
before.

- It's good.
- Yeah.

- Did you spend
the whole journey
coming up with that line?

- Well, we can't all be
award-winning authors, Jenna.

- Touché.

(gentle music)

(indistinct chattering)

- Everybody, Jenna Ashcroft.

(crowd applauding)

- Just one minute.

- Lookin' good.
- Thanks.

- So, Jenna...?

- It was an accident.
- Mm-hmm. I'm sure it was.

I'm always accidentally
introducing myself
as J Lo, so...

- Okay, fine.

Maybe I did go along with it.

But I was literally stuck
in a town where all people talk
about is love.

Which, as you know is my idea
of personal hell.

(scoffing)

Plus, it was nice, you know.

To have people actually
looking up to me for once.

- Come on, people do look up
to you.

- Like who?
- Me, for one.

- Hey, you're my best friend,
you have to say that.

- You don't have to pretend
to be someone else
to get respect.

- Well, either way,

I didn't correct them
and now it has gone way too far.

I mean, look at all of this.

- I think it's sweet.

- Yeah, maybe if I was Jenna.

People have books for me to
sign. Books! What am I gonna do?

- Just... sign the books?

- Well, what if Jenna finds out
that I impersonated her?

- How would she? Jenna's off
jet-setting around the world.

She's not gonna care what goes
on in some backwater town.

- I just think--
- Jenna? Sorry to interrupt.

My dad asked me
to gather everyone together
for the speeches.

- Speeches?
- We'll be right there.

- Yeah.

(tense music)

- Okay. There's nothing
you can do about this right now.

So just enjoy the limelight
for once.

Okay, you work hard enough.

You deserve this
just as much as Jenna.

(crowd clapping)

- And I don't have to tell you
what an absolute honour
it has been

to have this wonderful
young woman in our town.

Jenna, we've all taken you
into our hearts

and I hope you've taken
our little town into yours.

I cannot wait to read
what wonderful things you write
about your experience in Love.

And now if you would all join me
in a toast to Jenna Ashcroft,

honorary resident of Love.

(all): Cheers.

(crowd applauding)

(cheerful music)

- And here you go.
- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- I meant every word
of that speech I read.

And it's been an honour
and a pleasure having you here.

And between you and me,

I haven't seen Riley this happy
since before his mom passed.

- This is Riley happy?

- You should see him normally.

(laughing)

He's upbeat now, he's positive.

- Oh, well, I'm sure that I have
nothing to do with that.

- He's even talking
about taking a trip.

Honestly,
I can't thank you enough.

- No, no. I should be
thanking you.

You've made me feel
so welcome here.

Ah, reminds me.

Here.

It's just some ideas.

For your report
for the Awards Committee.

- You didn't have to do that.
- Oh, I wanted to.

And as soon as I'm done my blog,
I'll give you a copy to attach
as well.

- I hope you come back
and visit us again.

Jenna, the door is always open.

- Thanks.

Hi.

Christine, okay.

(pensive music)

- You all right?

- How can I be?

I made such a mess
of everything.

- It will be okay.

- You know, I just wanted
to prove to myself
that I could be like Jenna.

But she'd never let
her personal life get in the way
of a story.

- Yeah, but you're not
really Jenna.

You're my brilliant,
compassionate, talented friend.

- When they find out the truth,
Mitch and Riley are going
to be really hurt.

- You can make this right.
I know it.

- How?

They're expecting Jenna to write
a rave review about their town.

Not some exposé about how
it's all nonsense

and they're giving people
false hope.

- All you need to do is
follow your heart.

And be kind to yourself
for once.

- Thanks, Molly.

(birds chirping)

(footsteps approaching)
- Wow.

This place is stunning.

- Has the wow factor,
that's for sure.

(chuckling)
- How'd you sleep?

(exhaling deeply)
- I didn't.

Kept thinking about coming clean
to Riley and his dad.

- Are you gonna do it?

- Well, I was.

But this morning I had an idea.

How I can fix this.

You know Mitch and Riley
are expecting

to read a blog post about Love
written by Jenna, right?
- Yeah.

- Well, I can totally give
that to them. They don't need
to read that on her website.

I can just send the committee
a paper copy.

- Okay...?

- Also, I was panicking

because they are expecting
to read about their town
in Jenna's next book.

But you know,

Love actually is an
interesting town to write about.

And Jenna's nearly offered me
my own chapter, so...

I just need to prove myself.

And then I can write about Love,
but in a kind way.

No one gets hurt.

- I thought Jenna wanted
serious journalism.

- Yeah, well.

I have to make this
work somehow.

- Well, you could try
telling them the truth.

I know Riley really likes you.

- He likes Jenna,
the famous author.

- I'm sure that's not true.

- I know what I'm doing, Molly.

Oh, you know he says he has
somewhere cute to show us today.

- Yeah, actually, do you mind
if I just take a raincheck?

- You okay?

- Yeah, just a bit tired.

And I have some orders to do
for the bakery, so...

- Molly.

- I only really came here
to visit you.

And the well but
it's the guardian's day off.

- Dane messaged me.

- Did he?
- Mm-hmm.

- Hmm.
- You didn't tell him
you were coming here?

- I left him a note
on the fridge.

(scoffing)
- You know this is kind of
a far way to come

just to check in
on a friend.

- Yeah, well it's a good thing
I did.

- I think you should come
with us today.

It will be fun.
(giggling)

- No, you should have the time.
Just the two of you.

You know, think of it
as a chance for Riley
to get to know the real you.

Even if you do keep
calling yourself, Jenna.

(vehicle door closing)
- Thanks.

- Hey, ladies.

- Hey.
- What's the latest on your car?

- Still not ready.
Should we head off?

- I'm gonna take a raincheck
but you have fun day.

- Where we off to?
- Oh, it's a surprise.

- Oh, hmm. Okay.

(serene music)

Wow.
This is so beautiful.

- Yeah.
- The water's so clear.

- It's pretty special.

I used to come here a lot
when my mom passed.

It's also how the town
got its name. Love.

- But it isn't heart-shaped.

It's probably the only thing
in this town that isn't.

- Well, it was originally.
But then, as time passed,

weathering, soil erosion
and all that kind of changed it
into a more regular shape.

But it's still
the heart of the town.

- Then I like that story more
than if it was heart-shaped.

- You want to take
a closer look?

- Yeah. Let's do it.

- Yeah.

- So, one day soon
this will all be yours.

- What do you mean?

- Well, isn't that how
being mayor of Love works?

- Ah, not quite.

- Well, everyone I talk to
makes it seem like a done deal.

- Yeah, pretty much everyone
in this place expects me
to be mayor. Including my dad.

- But not you?

- I guess it just hasn't been
the same since my mom died.

- You must miss her a lot.

- Yeah, and then some.
- Mm.

- I mean, I used to believe
in this place and its myths.

There's nothing my heart
wanted more than for my mom
to stay with us.

Besides, I've never travelled
outside the state,

how can I expect to run a town
when I've hardly seen
the rest of the world?

I bet that sounds pretty lame
to someone like you.

- No, not at all.

- Come on, I bet you're
on and off planes every month.

(chuckling)
- As if.

Cost of flying abroad
is so expensive.

- I'm sure that doesn't matter
to someone like you.

- Looks so inviting.
I wonder how cold it is.

- You thinking
about going for a swim?

- No, just dip my feet.

(chuckling)
- It's colder than it looks.

- Oh, are you chicken?
- No.

- Or maybe you don't want me to
see that extra toe you've got.

(inhaling sharply)
- Oh, you didn't!

(serene music continues)

- Sit?
- Yeah.

(sighing)

- So, how'd you get
into all this? Travel writing?

If your parents didn't take you
anywhere as a kid?

- Well, I always loved
the thought of travelling.

I just was kind of reluctant
to go for it properly.

Then something happened.

I had my heart broken by a guy.
It's so original, I know.

He um, left me at the altar.

It sounds so dramatic,
I hate talking about it.

- I'm sorry.

- Oh, no-no, it's okay.
It happened a while ago now.

So, I started a travel diary
to get over it all.

I decided to fall in love
with a new place every week

instead of a new man.

So I'm sure you can see
why I'm such a cynic now.

- Well, I think you got
the last laugh,

'cause I'm sure
he's kicking himself
at how successful you are.

(chuckling)
- Yeah.

- Whoa!
You want to place that game?!

(laughing)

- Oh, it is on!

- You're a good splasher.

Hey!

(laughing)

(gentle music)

- I see you lookin'.

- Don't flatter yourself.

- Jenna is brilliant.

- Yeah, she really is.

- You know, son. If you really
want something, you gotta go out
there and grab it.

- Okay, Dad,
not another lecture.

- I'm just saying. Jenna would
make a brilliant partner.

- I'm sure she would.
But I don't even know
if I'm cut out to be mayor.

- Son, the people in this town
are ready to put their faith
in you.

You just gotta let them know
that's what you want.

- And that's the problem,
I don't know what I want.

- Can't keep coasting.

- I'm not coasting.

- You're a handyman.

- I do a lot more than that.

- All right, you're a handyman
that delivers groceries
to old ladies in his down time.

Is that really what you dreamed
of for your life?

- Well, the plan was to go
to college but then everything
with Mom put a stop to that.

- It's been almost 10 years
since your mom passed.

- It still feels like yesterday.

- Yeah, you don't have
to tell me, Son.

Not a day goes by
when I don't think of her.

And I'll even talk to her
on most days.

But she, more than anyone,

she would say you can't keep
looking backwards.

- And I'm not.

- It's time to carpe diem,
seize the reins of the day.

- Okay, Dad. I get it.

I'm sorry.

It has been fun hanging out
with Jenna

but she's a hotshot author
from the city.

As soon as her car's fixed,

she's gonna be out of here
and everything will go back
to the way it was before.

- Is that so?

You know, I saw Al this morning.

He told me Jenna's car parts
got in two days ago.

(water trickling)

(bells chiming)

(giggling)
- Whoa.

This looks just like it did
in the photos.

- Mm-hmm.

- So, which one of us
should go in first?

- Wait, what?

- To see the guardian.

- Oh. Yeah, no.

I'm not gonna see her
but you totally should. Yeah.

- Well, I think it's important
that we both experience this.

- Mm, well, it's not really
my thing.

- Well, do it for me then.

- Fine. If it means
that much to you.

But you can go first.

- 'Kay.

(heartfelt music)

- So, Molly, why don't you
tell me why you're here?

- I want a baby. So badly but
it's just not happening for us.

- It must be really hard.
- It has been.

I mean, I know how lucky I am.
I have an amazing husband

and a really
successful business.

- I sense a but coming.

- But... I can't imagine my life
without being a mom.

It's like the missing piece.

- That's a lot of pressure
to put on yourself.

- Yeah, I guess.

(exhaling deeply)

- Would you like to drink
from the well now?

- Yeah.

(sighs)

(gulping)

- Sorry.

I don't feel any different.

- It's not magic, Molly.

You know, sometimes we have
to see everything we do have

in order to open our hearts
for anything new.

- Thank you.

(bells chiming)

(birds chirping)

- What did she say to you?

- She's ready for you.

- Okay.

- So...

- I'm not sure why I'm here,
to be honest.

- Here in this house
or here in Love?

- Both.

Tastes like regular water.

(laughing)
- What were you expecting?

(chuckling)
- I don't know.

I'm sorry, it's just...
it isn't for me.

- You're right.

You already have everything
your heart desires.

- Do I?

- You're stronger than you know.

Emma.

(gentle music)

(bells chiming)

- You okay?

- Yeah.

She um, asked to speak to you.

(windchimes tinkling)

(gentle music)

- It's good to see you.
It's been a long time.

- I've been busy.

- Sometimes,
we have to make time.

- Look, I don't mean to be rude

but we both know
if this actually works,
my mom would still be here.

I came here so many times
when she was ill.

- You know it doesn't work
like that.

- How does it work?

Because I feel like
I'm surrounded by people
who believe in this place

and I can't.

Not anymore.

- Your mom would be
so proud of you.

The man you've become.

- I'm not so sure of that.

- So, what did she say to you?

- Just what I needed to hear.

- She's upset you.

Molly, this woman,
she's just a busy body.

- No-no, no-no, no,
she helped me.

- How?

- She just made me see
how fixated I've become.

You know, I've stopped
appreciating
the things I do have.

My business, Dane.

- I had no idea.

- Yeah, well, Dane's been trying
to tell me how unhappy he is
lately

but I've not been able
to listen.

- Oh, Molly.
That's not your fault.

- No, maybe not. But if I spent
more time focusing
on what I do have

instead of what's missing,

maybe I'd be happier too.

- What are you saying?

- I just... I need to invest
in me and Dane.

You know, find ways to be happy
just the two of us.

And if that includes a kid,
then great.
(chuckling)

But if not, that's fine too.

- Molly, I'm so happy for you.

I'm so glad that coming here
has helped you.

- Yeah. What about you?

- What about me?

- Well, what did the guardian
say to you?

(exhaling deeply)
- Just something she must have
read in a fortune cookie.

(chuckling)

- You ready to get going?

- What did the guardian say
to you?

- She's an old friend of my
mom's. She was just checking in.

- Oh.
- Where to next?

- Oh, well, I just called Dane.
He's on his way here.

- Oh.
- Oh, you wanted to show him
the sights?

- It would be nice to spend
some time together
outside of the city.

I mean, it's so romantic here.
(chuckling)

Love really is in the air.

(gentle music)

Thank you so much for coming in.

Just one second.

Wow, is this still going on?

- There is a lot riding on this
game. Whoever loses buys dinner.

(Molly): Ooh.

(playful music)

- What?

- Nothing.

(cell phone buzzing)

- How long are you guys
going for?

- Oh, just taking each day
as it comes.

Feels like forever
since we've done that.

But the lake sounds great.

- And how about you?

You must want to get straight
off once your car's fixed?

- Oh, no. Al called and he said
it will be a day or two still.

- That must be really
frustrating for a busy woman
like you.

- It's just one of those things.
- Yeah, one of those things.

- Maybe we could do
some more sightseeing.

- Ah, yeah. I have to stop
by Town Hall for a bit

but maybe we can meet
after that, an hour or so?

- Sounds great. That's check.

- So it is, yeah.

(doorbells chiming)

(grass rustling in the wind)

(Jenna): I always say, make
every setback an opportunity.

That's how I've made myself
a success.

Did you know I never travelled
till I was 25?

And look at me now.

(laptop clicking)

(somber music)
- I think you've got
some explaining to do.

- I'm sorry.

- Not here. My dad's gonna be
back soon.

This is gonna crush him.

- So... how did you
figure it out?

- My dad emailed Jenna
on that first day.

She just got back us and said
that she was declining the tour.

Which I thought was a joke
at first but then
you didn't mention it

so replied to Jenna
and she told us that
you'd never visited Love.

- You replied to her email?
Why would you do that?

- Because I didn't know
you were lying.

- Well, I wasn't lying.
I just, I didn't correct you.

It's the same thing you did
to me when you pretended--

- I misled you for an afternoon
about being mayor, that is not
the same thing.

- No, I know.

(exhaling deeply)
I'm sorry.

- And that's not all
you've lied about.

Apparently,
your car's been fixed for days.

You just wanted to humiliate us
more or--

- No, no. I lied about my car
because...

because I wanted to spend more
time getting to know you.

- Except, we don't know
each other, do we?

I don't even know your name.

- It's Emma.

I did tell you
that the first day we met.

- Do you know where my dad is
right now?

He's in a meeting with
the Awards Committee for
the Most Welcoming Town,

telling them all
about your visit... sorry,
Jenna Ashcroft's visit.

I mean, how could you do that
to him, to me?

- No, I have been helping him.
- I trusted you.

I told you things
that I've never told anyone.

- Me too. You know, everything
I told you was true.

Well, most of it anyway.

- Why did you lie to me?

- Because...

I wanted to be someone,
for once.

I do know Jenna Ashcroft.

And I am scouting locations
for her next book

but I'm not a famous author.

I'm just... her assistant.

The one in the background
that no one ever notices.

- Am I supposed to feel sorry
for you?

- No.

- You know, I'm sure Jenna
would be interested to hear

that you've been
impersonating her.
- You can't tell her.

- Why, 'cause it might mess
with your life?

- No. Because
you have no idea...

You have no idea what it's like
to feel invisible.

You've always been someone.

The Mayor's son,
the Mayor in waiting.

You have no idea what
it's like

to have people not even remember
your name.

For someone to...

literally not care about you
enough to leave you
at the altar.

- And my life is just so easy,
right?

You know, my life is mapped out.

Become Mayor,
find a good woman,

keep the Taylor name
on top of Love.

Do you know how suffocating
that is to never have a choice?

- I'm sorry.
- I don't need your pity.

What are we supposed
to tell my dad?

- You don't have to tell him
anything because I have a plan.

I'm gonna write about--
- I don't want to hear
your plan.

Just get in your car and go.
Emma, whatever your name is.

(somber music)

(phone vibrating, beeping)

- Hey, Molly.

Look, I'm really sorry to ruin
your romantic day with Dane

but yeah, I could really use
a friend right now.

Yeah. Okay, see you there in 20.

Thank you.

(beeping)

(door creaking)

- Hey, Dad?

- Jenna not with you?

- There's something I need
to tell you about Jenna.

(dishes clattering)

- One "mocha me crazy" and a
"muffin compares to you."

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
- Thanks.

- Are you trying to rub it in?

- I'm sure if you talked to him
you can fix this.

- You didn't see
how angry he was.

- Well, maybe he just needs time
to wrap his head around it.

(scoffing)
- No. No, I've blown it.

I should just pack up my stuff
and leave.

Hope he hasn't called Jenna.
- Oh, no, he wouldn't.

- Molly, I messed everything up.

And here you are
when you should be
on a romantic picnic with Dane.

- Yeah, um... We abandoned that.

I was really sick.

(uplifting music)
- You're not...

(tearfully)
- Yup.
We did a test before.

(gasping)
- You're having a baby.

- Shhh.
I want to keep it a bit quiet.

Just until we're used to it.

- Sorry but that is the absolute
best news ever, Molly.

(crying joyfully)
- I just needed to see
what I had.

- I wonder if I'll ever have
what you've got.

- Well, you're welcome to Dane.
I mean, he's already driving me
crazy with baby facts.

- No, I'm being serious.

You and Dane, that's so special.

- Know what I think.

Ever since you came here
and met Riley,

he's all you've been able
to talk about.

Maybe love is staring you
in the face.

- Is that another one
of your Love puns?

- No, nope. I mean it.

He's cute.
You could do a lot worse.

- Mm. You should see him
with his shirt off.

- Um, what? You've seen him--
- No, never mind.

- Mm-hmm.
- Anyway...

it's too late. He told me
to leave and yeah, I should.

Let's see
if I have a career left

or if he made good
on his promise
to out me to Jenna.

- Well...

At least we have cake.

- We always have cake.

- So, it was all a lie.

(somber music)

Aren't you gonna say something,
Dad?

- Seems to me that
Emma is a young woman
who is desperate to impress.

- That's it?

Why aren't you angry? I mean,
she conned both of us.

- That makes it sound malicious

and from what you've said,
I don't think it was.

Maybe she just wanted to feel
like she mattered for once.

Surely, you can understand that?

- I don't care why she did it.
She made fools of us both.

- She also wrote us
a pretty brilliant report

that could just swing
this contest our way.

Not to mention,
this blog post...

She's not
a best-selling writer yet

but she will be one day.

- So, that's it?
That's all you gotta say?

- Son, this isn't about
Jenna or Emma,

this is about you.

- How can you say that?

- Seeing you
these past few days, with Emma,

it's...

it's made me realize that maybe
I've been pushing you too hard.

Pressuring you down a road,
you don't want.

You don't have to be mayor.

Love will get on just fine
without you.

But you do have to decide
what you want from your life.

But first...

Why don't you take a read
of this, before you do anything
rash,

like contacting Emma's boss...

(cell phone chiming)

(birds chirping)

(footsteps approaching)

- Emma?

- Hi.

- Hey.

- I'm just leaving.

Look, I'm...

I'm really sorry
about everything.

- Me too.

- Did you contact Jenna?

- I did
but it's not what you think.

I explained the confusion
was all me.

- I don't understand.

- Well, I told her
that I met her assistant

and she had a good story to
write about Love.

- Why would you do that?

I lied to you, I pretended
to be somebody else.

- I think we all pretend
to be someone else sometimes.

And try and make
others do the same.

- I really didn't mean
to hurt you.

- You know, my mom used to say

that the most powerful thing
you can show someone is
the real you.

Because no one can be more
than who you are.

- I need to tell you
something else.

Jenna's new book, yeah, it's not
really a travel guide.

It's about exposing myths
of towns like Love.

- I'm sure you'll do
the right thing.

(heartfelt music)

(keyboard clacking)

(Emma): When it comes
to myths and legends,

what matters is the story
behind them.

Do they exist to trick people

or to help them to see
what's within themselves?

- You know, a wise man
once told me

that every day in Love
is an adventure.

And that couldn't be more true.

So, even if you come
for its myths,

you'll get so much more
than that.

Its history, its scenery,

its natural beauty...

Or the welcoming people that
choose to call this place home.

And one thing that I am sure of

is that like me,
you will fall in love with Love.

(crowd applauding)

- Jenna, you came.

- I wouldn't have missed it
for the world.

- So, what did you think
of my chapter?

- It was a good first draft.

- I know it needs some work.

- It's got heart. That matters
more than anything.

You made it personal
and it inspired me

to find the true stories
behind these towns.

- If you like,
I can show you around.

- I actually have found
my own tour guide.

Maybe I might find
a little love in Love.

- Good for you.

(giggling)

(squealing)
- Ah! That was beautiful.

- Thank you.

- I'm so proud of you.

- Thank you, Molly.

Hey, have you seen Riley
by any chance?

- Uh, he was around here.

Oh.

- I actually have another
announcement to make,

which my dad doesn't know yet.

But Love has been declared the
Most Welcoming Town in the State
for the 21st year running.

So... congratulations, Dad.

(crowd applauding)
- Thank you.

- So, you got any plans
after this?

- Nothing really, you?

- Uh... I have an idea.

- You're gonna finally, do it?

Become Mayor of Love?

(chuckling)
- I haven't decided.

I was thinking maybe
I'd take that trip.

- Good for you.

- And that maybe
I could use a travel companion.

Oh, and um...

(tender music)
- What's this?

- We never did finish
that game of chess.

- Well, we'll have plenty
of time on the plane.

Maybe we can even write
the sequel.

(romantic music)
