Thank you.

I feel love then.

Oh, yeah. Me too.

That's the rub you didn't have to ask for.

My favorite way to show affection is... I'm

definitely going to try that ASAP.

Favorite food.

Music.

Facial hair preference.

Ten?

Yes!

Oh, you did it. Hi, honey.

How's it going? I'm just really excited about how compatible this couple is.

People you know?

No, random test subjects, but they found love.

It's beautiful how much you care about other people, Papi. I just hope it

doesn't keep you from... I wasn't expecting you until later.

I thought if I came early, you might give me a tour, if you have time.

Let me see.

You're our most loyal supporter.

And my mother.

I think I can squeeze you in.

Can you also make tea?

Any excuse to stretch my legs.

You've been sitting there long?

I don't know.

What year is it?

Do you ever stop working?

And here I thought the life of a writer slash app creator was so glamorous.

Everything we've got goes right back into developing the business.

And every now and then, we take a coffee break.

I think it's great how you've combined your passion for list -making and your

love of romance into a tool to help people.

Funny how the thing I love doing the most ended up being the key to making it

all work. Probably a lesson in there somewhere.

You think?

I can be pretty smart sometimes.

Not enough to understand your app, I'm afraid.

It's actually pretty simple.

Love Map guides users through a carefully crafted set of questions to

detailed lists of key personality traits, psychological needs,

patterns, and unconscious behavior that all play a role in romantic attraction.

Okay, I'm with you so far.

From there, all a user has to do is overlay their Love Map with a potential

partner's, and they can see instantly how compatible they are. But it's not a

dating app.

Right. It's more of a no -more dating app.

Hey, tell her about the coding.

It's brilliant, of course.

And beta testing has been extremely positive.

And in IRL, I know it works because I used it myself to match with Floyd.

Love Map, Avery speaking.

Hi, it's Grant Forbes.

Hi, Grant.

I'm on my way.

I look forward to hearing more about Love Map.

Great. I'm looking forward to it, too. Just text me when you get here, and I'll

buzz you in.

That was Grant Forbes with World Travel Guru.

He's kind of a big deal in travel sites.

I reached out to him with kind of a wild co -branding idea, and he called this

morning to set up a meeting.

Sweetie, that's great.

I'm still kind of in shock. I didn't think I'd even hear back.

I love it when you're wrong about how good you are.

You guys, this could be huge.

Go. Make it happen.

I think your proposal to create a co -branded love map of Florida is

interesting. Thank you.

I think it's a great opportunity for both our companies.

So if you'll just give me the travel guide, I can go ahead. Actually, we'd

you to go to a number of locations and write an entry about each one of them.

You're also a writer, aren't you?

Yes. It's just we're awfully close to launch.

I understand. But the value of original exclusive content from an expert in

romance is what convinced the team to approve the project.

In that case, I'd love to.

Great. Then everything needs to be done a week from tomorrow to be able to be

covered by this year's budget.

I'm sorry. Did you say one week?

I hope that's not a problem.

If Florida Love Map goes well, World Travel Guru will underwrite the launch

enter into an ongoing partnership with you and your company to create love maps

all over the world.

One week should be fine.

Excellent. We'll send you a list of locations. But in the meantime, if you

find a few little hidden gems, places that no one else knows about, that would

really seal the deal.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Look forward to seeing your work.

Oh, my God, you did it. How are you going to find new places no one knows

I have no idea. And don't you hate road trips?

I do have a tendency to get a little car sick, but I have to go, obviously.

Which doesn't mean you have to go alone.

Hey, Siri, find Florida Travel Guide.

Do you believe those guys only wanted to see malls and bars?

You know, that actually happens more than you might think.

Hey.

Now that looks like my kind of place.

Okay, that's exactly why it's restricted. Humans disturb the animals

destroy the habitat.

Well, what's back there?

Gators? Snakes?

Scrub gators.

What are you doing?

Come on, who cares if some scrubby little bird gets its feathers brought

I do.

Come on.

Come on.

How'd the tour go?

I don't know, man. I think I might just be too much of a loner for this job.

It was okay when I could do cartography on the side, but that's just really not

working out.

Anyway, how are things there?

Still a bunch of work to do before hurricane season hits.

We just don't have enough hands or money to do it all.

You know, I just got a call about a private tour to a bunch of romantic

locations. Maybe I can help.

I'm sorry, but how's that going to help?

You let me worry about that. You just hang in until I get there, okay?

Are you sure there are no bugs?

There was, and I'd tell you.

Honesty is your superpower?

Actually, coding is my superpower.

Honesty is just something I believe in as, like, a basic human principle.

which is extremely admirable, I just feel like something is missing.

Love Map works exactly as you imagine.

That's what I'm afraid of. What if the app is missing something? Because I am

missing something.

Like what?

I'm scared to say it.

Okay, do you want to write it on my back with your finger?

I love love, but what if I can't actually feel it?

You will.

When?

I'm a truth teller, not a fortune teller.

But I know that you'll figure it out. Because determination is your

You like this top?

Andy told the David family to move their kitchen redo up a week.

Anything I can do to help?

Stay here and learn carpentry.

Anything other than that?

So, tell me about the guide you found.

His name is Ian Anderson, and he specializes in uncharted destinations.

Transportation is included, so I won't have to drive myself.

That's a relief.

Ha ha.

I was thinking, maybe you could join me at one of the locations.

Sure. If I have time.

I'll call you.

I am attracting my dream future.

Happiness begins with me.

I am open to love.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Maybe just over here. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to scare

you. You were just on a... I'm really sorry.

And you are?

Ian Anderson, your guide.

Nice to meet you.

And thanks for saving me. Did you extend the tour or something?

No, it's still just a week.

I just like to be really, really prepared.

Should I pop the trunk for you?

Oh, no, this is actually us right here.

I could call World Travel Guru. I'm sure they get a great deal on rentals. Yeah,

but rentals are boring.

Thelma and I are actually a package deal, so if she doesn't go, then I don't

Okay, well, I should probably let you know that sometimes I get a little car

sick.

All right, well, I will have water and mints ready.

I'll just put these up front.

Okay.

Let me get that for you.

Just got to give it a little.

Okay, the thing you need to know about Thelma, aside from her obvious good

looks, is that she's a perfect car.

She's heavy, so she rides smooth. She has a ton of leg room, and lucky for

she has a big cargo bed back there.

Maybe we should look at this travel legend right over here.

We could, or we could just see where the spirits take us.

What? No.

We need safeguards in place.

Safeguards against what?

Failure.

Success is in the adventure.

Actually, it's in finding undiscovered romances with me.

Wouldn't that be more of a reason to be Spartanian?

To make it to all of our locations in time, we have to be strategic, which is

why I already mapped out the most efficient route.

And even with that, we are going to need all of the gods and goddesses of love,

romance, and patterns to smile upon.

What exactly do you need from me here?

Please don't get us lost.

We're here now, and this place sounds amazing.

Marginal beaches,

waves. Yeah, I don't know if you want to get your hopes up too much.

Why? It sounds perfect.

I'm just saying, perfect on paper isn't necessarily perfect in life. You know

what? I think you don't like it because you're not the one who found it.

This is the Enchanting Sportoff?

It does have cobblestone.

Yeah, but where is the warmth, the charm, the personality?

Uh, Captain Creel of Top of the Whack?

That is a scary thought.

Aye, it's enough to make you want to walk a bike.

This place isn't even remotely romantic.

Oh, hey, there is that.

A jar full of sand?

Yeah, but it also has some shells in there and a pretty little cap.

At least it's something.

Is it, though?

They should not be allowed to sell these here.

Wow.

Sure you don't want that?

It's kind of, you know.

Okay, how about that?

How do you figure it is?

Part of a mile, maybe?

As your tour guide, I should tell you it's a lot cooler if we walk by the

Yeah. Okay.

These things should give you extra credit for walking in sand.

Or you can just stop counting.

I like counting.

Relaxing. Plus, haven't you heard? The person who dies is in their stepson.

That was true. Weren't those yippy little dogs with everybody?

You have a point.

That's not good.

Not exactly a place for romance.

That might lead to something interesting, though.

I'm not sure it'll hold us back.

You're not wearing a lead vest under there, are you?

No, but I am wearing a dress.

Don't worry. I won't let you fall, okay?

Not so bad from up here.

Yeah, it tastes nice. Just slowly down.

Don't worry.

I won't.

Are those jellyfish?

You want to go check them out?

It's not my thing.

How are you into that kind of thing?

I don't know how I'm going to make this place sound inviting, much less

romantic.

Hey, scaling the side of a pier has to be appealing to somebody, right?

I can't imagine who, but I'll include it in my piece, just in case.

Which I should probably get started on.

Yeah, I have some stuff I should get back to you.

What, you didn't think all this came off the top of my head, did you?

Yes. Do you think trucks just magically clean themselves and smack you out of

nowhere?

You're right. Those things are valuable.

Thank you.

No problem. You know, I could help you a lot more, too, if you would just let

me.

We should probably find a place to stay.

We should probably get an early start tomorrow.

Actually, it's better if we wait and then we'll miss traffic.

It'll save us a bunch of time, I promise.

I do know what I'm doing.

Okay.

You know what? This actually looks pretty good here. Yeah.

Actually, it does.

Hi, this is Ian Anderson. I'm calling about that job posting in Modern

Cartography magazine.

Maggie, hey.

Truthfully, not great.

And I'm definitely no closer to figuring out the app.

Let me call you later.

What is that?

Breakfast. That is not breakfast, and calling it that is an insult to eggs

everywhere. Okay, nothing personal against eggs.

I just like cold pizza. You want some?

No, thanks.

But since we are waiting on traffic, I could go for a decent meal.

So tell me about this amazing app that has us on this exciting journey.

It's my dream project.

My life's work, really.

It's called LoveMap, and it helps people find lasting relationships without the

pain and uncertainty of dating.

Wow, that sounds too good to be true.

Like I said, it's a dream, but after lots of research and rigorous

experimentation and more failed attempts than I'd like to remember, I came up

with a formula.

What?

Yeah, I just don't know if formula and love really go together.

Why not when it all comes down to compatibility in the long run?

Does it, though? I mean, what about that mysterious X factor?

The thing about somebody that makes your heart skip a beat, even if you can't

really put it in words?

I don't think there is a mysterious X factor.

I think people think it's mysterious because they don't understand it fully.

But finding a truly compatible partner solves for X.

But why would you want to do that? I mean, two people both liking peas

mean they're going to love each other.

Okay, when was the first time you had pizza for breakfast?

I was fishing with my dad.

Was it a happy memory?

Did you feel love while it was happening?

And that association with pizza for breakfast is a test point on your love

It doesn't mean that you're automatically going to love someone who

for breakfast, but it is woven into the overall picture of what makes you feel

loved. Thank you.

All right, so how does...

Eggs and bacon factor into your love equation.

I don't know.

No fair. You already had your so -called breakfast.

This isn't for me. It's for you. Going to get us on the road faster.

You were right about the scenic route was totally worth the drive.

But are you sure that this is the way to the next destination?

I am sure. Are you sure it's on the World Travel Guru list?

Positive. Why?

Haven't you heard of it?

Oh, no, I've heard of it. I'm surprised that they suggested it.

Why?

Well, the hike's the one.

Where is the... Well, at least it's private.

Yeah, because the only way to get down there is through a cell.

If only I had left all of my climbing gear to replace your luggage.

Why didn't you tell me this place was so inaccessible?

I tried to, okay, but you haven't exactly been open to my input.

Maybe we could decide.

Very nice. I almost correct you for that term, but it's actually really

dangerous to do that here, and you usually need snow.

A spree.

Very funny, because I'd really like to spree right now.

Hey, you think it's going to make you feel better, you go right ahead.

We could have a fish pack.

Also a decent idea, but it actually damages vegetation and it's illegal

Okay, what do you suggest?

So you really want to get down there?

I do.

Okay, what are you, about 5 '3", 5 '4"? Yeah, but what does that have to do with

anything?

Here. Take these. Take them.

Try not to lean back, okay? And bend that last leg when you're going uphill.

Okay.

This is probably the clearest water I've ever seen.

I know. It's incredibly rare to find a place like this.

Well, too bad.

You don't like it?

I love it, but I can't recommend it as a travel destination, obviously.

Well, that's a relief because the less people that know about this place, the

better.

I agree.

Move it on.

You don't want to take a break?

There's no time. I already got us all scheduled by coming all the way down

Okay, but you had to have known this wasn't going to end up in World Travel

Group, right?

I did.

Okay, so why spend the time and come all the way down here?

I wanted to see it.

I thought this might be my only chance.

I can admire that.

Can you admire it while we walk?

Yes, I can.

Honestly, I swear, I don't know where you get the energy from.

It's not energy, it's fear.

I keep going because failure is not an option.

Although, some stripes might be.

So it seems my plan for finding the most efficient route is not working like I

had hoped. I was wondering if you could maybe help me figure out where to go

next.

Yeah, I mean, that's why you hired me, right?

That and the truck.

Obviously.

Um, okay, yeah. I can help you. I'll use a secret time -honored tradition that

is only the finest guys use. But if I do it, you have to promise to go wherever

I decide.

Deal?

Deal. Alright.

Here we go.

I'll go.

Walter,

thanks for meeting me here.

This is Walter.

He owns an aerial tour company.

I was talking to him about how we have this romantic tour planned, and he

offered to take us up.

In a helicopter?

You're not afraid of flying, are you?

Not at all. In a plane.

Helicopters are actually safer than cars, so... Only because I'm a horrible

driver. Okay, you risk your neck going down to that lagoon. Think of what

going to see from the sky.

It's going to be really memorable either way, I promise.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Beautiful, right?

I don't know. My eyes are closed.

Avery, hold on to me. You don't want to miss this. Come on.

This is amazing.

It looks so different from up here.

When I was a kid, I used to love to go to the airport to watch a plane take

and I remember the first time we went somewhere.

Once we got up in the air, I asked my mom, so, when do we get smaller?

Yeah.

It's all a matter of perspective, right?

Hey, look, there's Bill again.

Do you know how dangerous that is?

I know, but I'm fine, and it was a life experience.

I don't like you taking unnecessary risks.

It felt pretty necessary, since I have nothing substantial for World Travel

Guru. This entire trip has been one dead end after another.

Sorry, honey.

I know how much you hate it when you can't check off all the items on your to

-do list.

It feels...

It's so good to talk to someone who understands me for a change.

Maybe you should just come home.

Home?

Why would I do that?

I mean, if your plan's not working.

I can't believe you'd suggest that. This assignment is way too important.

And I'm not a quitter. You know that about me, right?

That was not the same.

I set it aside, not because it was too hard, but because I wanted to spend more

time together.

Sorry, sweetie.

I didn't mean to start a fight.

You did.

Didn't.

Because we never fight.

We're probably both just tired.

Yeah.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

He makes me feel what... It's how I feel about Floyd.

Oh, my gosh. What happened?

There's a forest service area behind the dunes, and I kind of went exploring.

Do you need a doctor, an x -ray?

No, it's just a cut.

And you wrapped it in... And I wrapped it in my handkerchief. It's really

versatile, right?

Industrious. And environmentally friendly.

Here.

Still, I can't believe that you risked yourself and the project.

Well, you know, venturing into unknown territories is kind of my job. Plus,

a really minor cut, especially compared to the material that I got.

Material? What material?

Okay, I have this dream project.

Dream project?

Yeah.

I like being a tour guide, and it's fun, and it pays the bills sometimes.

But my real passion is cartography.

And it's what I want to do full time if I can ever just... save up enough money.

You're telling me it takes more than just a compass and a sundial?

It does, actually. Yeah, it does.

Especially for what I want to do with it. Okay, I have this idea for maps that

are more than just the geography of an area. It's kind of the history, some of

the culture, some of the... You know,

I'm not describing it very well.

I don't have the best way with words sometimes. No, no, no, no.

I get it. I mean, at least enough to understand that it's beautiful and

ambitious. Plus, I might not know a thing about map making.

I do know what it's like to follow a dream.

There. A real bandage.

Wow. You know, you are dangerously close to sounding like you care about me

right now.

All for the sake of the project.

And self -preservation, because if your leg gets infected, you might have to

drive.

If only you'd let me use the GPS.

If only you could read a map. I can read a map on the GPS.

Not that it matters, because our destination definitely isn't here, not

anything is.

Except... I don't know about you, but I'm sorry, so maybe we should... Me too,

but bait shop?

Maybe I'll just have some trail mix.

All of it?

Hi. Hi.

Can I have a turkey sandwich, please? I don't think so.

They're tricky.

Okay. You don't understand. That's not the way we do things here at Eli.

So you're telling me that I can't get what I want? What I'm saying is you

know what you want.

I think I know. No, you don't.

What you need is a shrimp pool boy. And you, sir, are you hungry?

Always.

Gator bites and a double out of two, I might add.

All right, that sounds good.

Who am I to question the wisdom of Eli?

That's true.

You are Eli, right?

From my father before me and his father before him.

I put a piece of my world -famous key lime pie for you to this year.

But be very careful because some people around here, they think it's a love

potion.

No, thanks. Not for me.

What? There's something against my pie?

Or something against love?

No. I love both of them. I just have a boyfriend.

Do me a favor. Take these with my compliments because that is the wisdom

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Either I am delirious with hunger or this food is remarkably good.

Well, if you're delirious, then I am too because these gator bites are top

notch. And Eli, that guy is awesome. Priceless.

Yeah.

Hi.

Yes, please.

I hope you don't think you're getting the whole thing just because I had half

your sandwich.

That was a gift, and besides, you stole Emmy for the bacon.

That's fair.

This place isn't traditionally romantic, but it definitely had something, right?

Yeah, I think we found our first hidden gem.

It's not what World Travel Guru would be expecting, but... But you're the

expert, so... I am.

Where are we clicking tonight? And please don't say it's not.

How do you feel about yurts?

I'm kidding. My friends have a B &B close by.

We can head on over there.

As long as we don't have to sleep on the ground.

Actually, they have real beds there and a beautiful view of the ocean.

Why are we still staying here?

Let's go.

Not getting carsick, are you?

I haven't in a whole trip, actually.

So, about this boyfriend.

Huh? I told you that you had a boyfriend.

Right. Yes, I do.

So what's your favorite romantic location to go?

I don't know, actually.

Don't worry, don't worry. It's probably just a loose belt.

I was going to do it.

I actually like those.

You can do it, Thelma. Here we go, baby. Almost there. I hope they weren't on

us.

And here.

Thelma, nice job, baby.

You made it.

We were surprised to get your call. I know.

It's so good to see you, babe. Good to see you.

We were in the area unexpectedly.

A little hug.

Avery, this is Martha. This is Dave.

Hi.

Yes, ma 'am. We're so excited to see you both. Now, the B &B isn't finished yet,

so you're our first guest.

Are you ready to come on in? Either way, let's check it out.

Okay.

I'm terrible.

A compatibility app?

I always thought that's what a key of furniture was for.

Well, you assemble it together.

If you still like each other when it's done, you're a match.

Personally, I think a long road trip is a far better gauge of a good

relationship.

Sorry, sorry.

So how long have you known Ian?

Since before he was born.

We're his godparents.

Ah, so he does have roots.

Every time I ask, he makes it sound like he sprang from a rock.

Well, that's Ian.

Hey, what can I say? I like rock.

We know.

Are there other sibling stones?

Nope, nope. I am an only rock.

And you know what? This rock is much more old than that.

That makes two of us.

Okay, so let's show you to your room, Avery.

So you'll be in here.

The wallpaper is fabulous. I know.

I love it, too.

And I'll show you what's through here.

Let's show you through here.

Avery seems great.

Yeah, she's, um, she's interesting.

No. No, no, no, we're not a couple.

Why not?

I'm just happy alone. Besides, she already has a boyfriend. And even if she

didn't, I'm holding out for something like what you and Martha have.

The kind of relationship Martha and I have, that isn't something you just

Something you gotta make.

Come on. Come on.

I hope Ian gets the carpet.

I hope Dave remembers the bread.

Meanwhile, how about a tool?

I'd love one. Great. Come on.

And the pool was added in the AC.

I love the waterfall.

Pretty, isn't it?

And here we have the garden, which is my special project.

Dave's more of a lawn man, and I think it's because he loves riding the mower.

What is it with men and mowers? I have no idea, but as long as he stays out of

my flower bed, fine by me.

This is the only beachfront accommodation for Miles. Dave and I

And then we vacationed here whenever we could. And finally, we bought the place

after 40 years.

What's the secret to staying together so long?

Oh, not leaving.

Sounds simple.

It might be, but it's not easy.

So you bought the B &B after visiting it for 40 years?

Yeah, we...

bought it because it was very run down and that's the only reason we could

afford it. So we thought if we could restore it, we'd save something that we

love and we could support ourselves in retirement as well.

Seems like you've got it all worked out. Not really.

We've been doing most of the work ourselves, which has been slower and

than we thought possible and a big shocker, right?

Anyway, we've almost finished with the main house.

What we have left now is this, and we call this the view house, even though

just a gazebo.

But we plan to have weddings here, yoga retreats, and that sort of

thing.

This place is really special.

The view, the grounds, it all has this feeling.

It's a lovely place to just come and be quiet and think.

I can see that.

Plus, it's an essential element of our business plan. I mean, we need the event

to subsidize the rest of the operation.

And construction's behind, and hurricane season is right around the corner.

One big storm could wipe us out.

What a horrible thought.

We're doing everything we can to see that doesn't happen.

Just hope it'll be enough.

Looks like the guy's back.

That's weird.

Hi.

Why is Thelma still on the tow truck?

So the mechanic in town doesn't have a lot of experience with older engines, so

I decided I'd work under myself.

How long is that going to take?

Like half a day, once the part gets here.

And you think I'm high maintenance?

At least you have a nice place to stay while you wait.

True. And it'll give me time to get some work done.

What's your Wi -Fi password?

We don't have Wi -Fi. We barely get cell coverage here.

No, that's not true.

There is a corner of the property that has some cell service.

Sometimes. Sometimes.

Not a problem.

I'll just work in a cafe.

The nearest one's about ten miles from here.

You can borrow my truck.

Really? Sure.

Can you drive a stick?

Avery, we're just going to have to figure out how to live off the grid for

couple days.

That might be fine for you, but I have deadlines to meet and some kind of

flaw in the app. I don't know how to fix yet.

You know, maybe if you just took some time and re -centered, you might be able

to figure it out.

Maybe we could rent another car.

Still take two days to get here.

Yeah, and then you lose your guide and your driver.

Now, the good news is, I remembered bread.

That's when I realized I'm in an area where there aren't even any alligators.

You guys are working.

Hey. Some of us are.

Sounded like you were having a party.

In a way, I guess that's true.

The burden's shared.

Does the burden have?

Or no burden at all.

Okay, well, can I help?

Of course you can.

Well, you know, it looks like Ian could use a hand.

Or maybe two.

Hey.

You know, I think we're almost done with this dive.

Ahoy, matey.

Wow. What are you doing right now?

Shibboleth. A hurricane is a -brewin'. Um, okay.

What are we going to do if a hurricane actually shows up, though?

Down the hatches.

And you think it's weird that I talk to my truck.

Maybe we both have a vivid imagination.

Yeah, but I have a speed.

You know, I have some lovely hoop earrings that would just be perfect for

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, I gotcha, I gotcha.

It's like I won't be needing those earrings after all.

I won't be needing a trip to the emergency room.

The hoop earrings weren't really your thing anyway.

Yeah, I'm way more of a diamond stud guy, I think.

Totally. Right?

L -U, slam dunk!

I think we're pretty much done, huh? What do you think?

I think it looks pretty good.

And it was actually fun.

It was.

I think we earned ourselves a walk on the beach. What do you think?

We'll lead the way.

in the weather patterns isn't going to make the storm go away.

Then I'll take a muffin.

You can.

There you go.

I'm going into town to pick up the part for Ian's car.

You want to come along?

You can go to the cafe with Wi -Fi while I go to the post office and run some

errands.

Sounds great.

Let's go.

That means I've got you all to myself.

Uh -oh.

Be careful.

That's the tone she uses when she wants to talk.

Ah, yes. I thought I recognized that tone.

But that's all right, isn't it? It is. Have fun, you guys.

Have you always wanted to run a B &B?

No, but I have always wanted to live at the beach.

So you didn't work in hospitality?

I was a journalist.

And that's how I met Ian's folks.

His dad was a foreign correspondent and his mom, she was a photographer.

What happened to them, if you don't mind me asking?

They were killed in an accident while on assignment in Columbia.

I'm so sorry.

It's been horrible. I can't even imagine.

Ian was devastated.

It was hard on everyone at first, figuring out how to be a family.

Martha and I loved Ian, of course.

Martha was a natural.

But I was really struggling, to be honest, until we

started working on Thelma.

The same Thelma that is currently awaiting a special order part?

It was a gift from Ian's dad.

Everything needed work. The interior, the exterior, the engine.

Ian threw himself in all of it.

He poured all of his frustration over not being able to save his parents into

saving that car.

Well, here we are.

Thanks for the ride.

And the talk.

You're welcome.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Martha,

you always did have a way of sneaking up on me, didn't you? Well, you get so

immersed in your work, a herd of buffalo could sneak up on you.

For the record, I have encountered a herd of buffalo before, and I have to

think I'd notice the smell first.

But you are right, I tend to lose track of space and time when I'm really into

something. Well, or you lose yourself in what you love, and that's one of your

best qualities, in my opinion.

Let me have a look.

Let me see.

It's a little different from your other work.

Yeah, my whole way of seeing things has been changing recently.

I'm not really sure why.

I have a theory on that.

Do you? Yes, I do.

Should we go shell hunting?

Sure.

Sorry, the B &B has body service, but I'm at a cafe now.

How's the work going?

Great. We replaced the railings and fixed the lights.

What are you talking about?

The gazebo. We're fixing it up while we wait for the car.

If you came here, I could show you.

How about that?

Sorry, but I won't be able to leave Miami right now.

But you promised.

More important.

You could come here.

Except I can't.

Maybe we should just focus on our own lives for a while.

Isn't that kind of what you've been doing?

Kind of is.

So, I guess that's it then.

I guess it is.

I hope you find what you're looking for someday.

Thanks. You've been a really important person in my life, and I will always be

grateful for that.

Me too.

Bye, Floyd.

Hey, good one.

You seem to come to me, you know, as if we're meant to be together.

Earth to Ian.

Sorry, I was just thinking.

About what?

I don't know, actually.

Well, I think I do.

Do you? Yes, I do.

What ever happened to that woman from Seattle?

We just wanted different things. And then, ultimately, she took my need for

solitude as a rejection of her.

Was it?

At first, no.

What about that other lady from... Oh, the one with the very adventurous

She did have a very adventurous spirit, but...

Half the time I was with her, all I could think about was being alone again,

that's also not what I want.

No.

I want what you and Dave have.

What Dave and I have is great, but it's not perfect, and it's not always easy.

Really, it's not?

A couple of years ago, just before we bought the B &B, Dave and I were on the

verge of splitting up.

You did? I had no idea. I'm so sorry.

Well, you were doing your own thing, and it's not your place to look after us.

I know, but I still worry about you guys. I know, but the only reason I'm

telling you now is because I don't want your romanticized vision of what Dave

and I have to spoil your chances of finding a real relationship of your own.

Okay, but how are things now with you guys?

Dave and I, it's great.

When we started fixing up the B &B, it was like we started fixing up our

marriage as well.

Thank you for telling me that. Oh, of course.

When I didn't hear banging at the view house, I thought you might have been

taken away by a road wave.

You know, that's not entirely inaccurate.

It's stunning.

Yeah, the stretch of the beach is just...

Beautiful, right?

I was actually talking about your work.

I didn't know you were such a talented artist or that maps could be so

beautiful. Thank you.

But, you know, I just try to capture what I see. I don't even know if it

comes for me, if I'm being honest.

Well, it comes through you, right?

Would you consider letting me use your maps in Love Maps and the World Travel

Guru features?

Yeah.

Having my work featured on a major website and a prominent app would be...

Yeah.

It would be good for everyone.

So is cartography more of an art or a science?

Okay, personally, I think it's a little bit of both.

That's one of the reasons I love it so much.

That's exactly the way I feel about Love Map.

Okay, you have to tell me more about this app.

Are you sure? Because last time I talked about it, you didn't seem like it was

your thing.

I'm not sure it is, but I do like what happens when you talk about it.

Your eyes just light up and you get taller.

That's funny. I actually feel taller. I can't believe you noticed that.

Why would I notice?

Most people don't.

Well, that's their loss.

Okay, so, love map. Tell me more.

Just the way that you studied the geography of a location to create a

map.

I explore the structure of a person's emotional landscape to make a love map.

Very cool.

The goal is to find a partner with a high compatibility score.

Scorekeeping.

It's just a tool to determine overall compatibility, not something you should

in an actual relationship.

We want people to use the app as a way to connect.

That sounds really hard. It has been for me.

It's surprisingly easy to get off track or just go down the wrong road.

It really sounds like you're speaking from experience there.

Let's just say I've seen the suffering.

Oh,

hey, guys. Hey.

Every time I look down here, you two were talking so much, I didn't think

get much work done, but... Dave, I can actually rake and talk at the same time.

Even better, he can rake and listen.

You know, the symmetry of this path really complements these.

Free -form shape of the flower bed, do you think?

There was a fair amount of discussion about that. There was heated discussion.

And then, Avery used some kind of mental sorcery to hijack my brain and made me

give in.

I wasn't aware I made you do anything against your will.

No, not directly, but you have an interesting habit of getting your way

time. Are you saying you think I'm a bully?

No, I wouldn't go that far, but you are forceful and really persistent.

I'm sorry. I thought Ian and I had a lively discussion in which I presented a

strong case from my point of view.

Apparently, I was wrong.

I apologize.

Excuse me.

Oh, Ian, why would you say a thing like that?

Because I meant it. She's really smart and persuasive.

It's supposed to be a compliment.

Was it?

Yeah, I think so. I mean, I guess I was a little defensive because she out

-argued me, but I was actually really just impressed.

And now you guys know I'm better off alone.

Nobody said that.

Yeah, well, it's true.

Yoo -hoo!

Hey. Hi.

Cookie for your thorn.

What if I don't know?

Well, have to.

What's this, your work?

I've been trying to avoid it because there's a problem I don't know how to

solve.

But I actually really miss it. Work has always been my refuge, like a safe

place.

You feel threatened here?

More like vulnerable.

Honestly, I don't think Ian meant to hurt your feelings.

It's not that so much as the way he studies things, including me.

He notices everything.

That makes you feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, yeah.

And other times.

It feels like warm sun on my skin.

Well, that's good food for soul.

Almost as good as these cookies.

I'm going to leave you with both.

Hi, Sweet Pea.

I was just thinking about you.

Hi, Mom.

I was thinking how proud of you I am.

Aw, thanks, Mom.

You know, you're my role model.

Sweet, but untrue.

What do you mean? Everything I am is because of you.

Because you don't want to make the same mistakes I did.

That's not true.

Love map?

It's about finding love, and it's going to be perfect.

Just as soon as I figure out how to get unstuck.

And it's all right not to be perfect all the time.

Doesn't hurt to try though, right?

It does if it keeps you from seeing the good that's right in front of and inside

you.

I don't understand. Why are you telling me this now?

I've been saying it for years.

Why do you think you're hearing it now?

I better go.

Love you.

Love you too.

You considering a career move?

I'm just keeping my options open.

You know what Confucius said?

Um, eat dirt first?

Wherever you go, there you are.

You know, I think that was actually Peewee Herman.

Either way, you can't outrun yourself.

And it might be foolish to try.

Sorry for what I said in the garden. It wasn't what I meant.

What did you mean?

I meant I like the way you challenge me, the way you make me think.

Maybe go with that next time.

Yeah, my brain and my mouth don't always work as a team.

Actually, I'm really glad it happened.

It got me thinking, and I'm going to add some new functions to the app to help

couples express their feelings.

You know, that sounds good in theory, but is more time on an app what couples

really need?

Don't you think they get more from spending time with each other, looking

each other's eyes, more than their screens?

Maybe. I mean, not everybody can put their feelings into words, something I

skillfully demonstrated yesterday.

Really? It's okay.

Hey,

what's this?

It's nothing.

Hey, it's kind of really hot here, hasn't it?

Way too hot to stay here. Yeah, let's...

Thanks,

but it's actually pretty selfish.

Because if they lost that B &B, I would lose just as much as them. Probably

more.

But their marriage isn't.

Okay, so that's what the app is for.

Not for them directly, but for people like them.

If I can have one heart from breaking, then I shall... Shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson.

Should have guessed that you'd like poetry.

Now this is just... Exactly what you meant when you said that screens aren't

substitute for real life.

Did I say that?

I don't know if it's the water or the air or the fact that not a single

electronic device is buzzing or dinging.

How many steps?

I don't know. I'm keeping my Fitbit, but I do feel different without all the

other interruptions. I'm fully present. We're actually here.

With me.

With you.

Walk? Yeah, I would love to, but I actually have to make a couple calls

now. I really have to talk to Alma.

It is, and another thing.

I'm not that serious.

It's not. I just don't want to jinx it.

But if it pans out, you will be the first to know, I promise.

See you at dinner?

Yeah. My second favorite meal of the day.

After... Breakfast.

Aren't they interchangeable to you? They are.

Good point. I love them both. And snacks.

9 ,857, 9 ,858.

For the crab, Avery.

Such a nice treat.

My pleasure. If only I had thought to bring some claw crackers.

What, and deprive Ian of the chance to show off his spoon -cracking technique?

You're right. That was my favorite part of dinner.

For the record, mine was the actual crab.

Sorry, I don't mean to detract from the impact of my smash -and -grab crab demo,

but I have some news.

Some good, some bad.

Bad fur.

Honestly,

I don't know how much longer I can wait. I know, I know, but they have located

it and it's on its way.

Is that supposed to be the good news?

No, the good news is I found an amazing new destination for our next spot.

It's really special and practically nobody's heard of it.

Really? What is it?

It's an old Spanish monastery.

It's got diving caves and waterfalls.

So, how come no one's heard of it?

Okay, for the last hundred years or so, it was privately owned, but it just got

deeded back to the state.

Some cartography buddies told me, but even then I had to close. It sounds like

exactly the kind of thing that World Travel Guru was hoping for.

Thank you for going out of your way to help me.

Thanks for letting me.

You two are becoming quite the team.

Aren't we now?

Yes, you are.

At work and in the kitchen.

You've known people married 20 years who don't have the wash -dry technique that

you've got going.

Careful, sweetie.

I hear Avery has a boyfriend.

Actually, we broke up.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't be.

It was the right thing.

I think that acknowledging what was wrong in that relationship was the first

step in figuring out what was wrong in the app.

I was so focused on compatibility that I forgot to factor in things like...

Balance and being present.

Sounds like you're on to something.

Something was wrong for a long time, but it wasn't until I got here that I

really started to understand what it was.

Sometimes you just need a little peace and quiet.

Or a fresh baked cookie.

Or two.

Are you saying there's cookies somewhere?

I think I'll get some work done before it gets too late.

Good night.

Good night. Good night. Good night.

Thank you.

Yes.

Hey.

Everything okay?

Grab some clothes. I want to show you something.

It's the middle of the night.

I know, I know.

You'll see.

Hurry, okay?

Here.

I know how to get on a boat. Thank you.

All right, Captain. I got you.

You all right?

That's your shirt.

Hey.

I like it.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

All right.

This place is really amazing.

Yeah.

This is so special.

Thank you.

Remember when we saw jellyfish the other day? I knew I had to bring you down

when we saw those.

But you didn't, even though we were coming here.

I knew I had to show you this.

Hey, can I ask you something?

How do you know when you're in love with someone?

I think it's different for everybody.

For me, it's when I feel safe.

Like, I know I can reach my dream and that person will be there to catch me

I fall.

What about you?

I don't know. For me, I think it's...

finding someone that I would rather be with than be alone.

You know?

I know that sounds kind of weird.

No, it doesn't sound weird.

What about that mysterious ex -doctor?

Yeah, I don't know if you can actually look for that. I think it's something

just know when you're having it.

You know?

This place is...

Really beautiful.

Really is.

Check it out.

It's done.

Great job, everybody.

Always the perfectionist.

Not a moment too soon.

Hurricane season starts next week.

Yeah, and I finally finished the truck.

Well, almost.

You didn't tell me you've been working on it. I know. I didn't want to say

anything until I knew the part worked, but we should be all good, because all

need is a hose.

They should have that in town, and then we will be good to go.

Fantastic.

It's really been nice having you here.

And not just because you did a lot of the heavy lifting to finish the view

house. Although that helped.

Okay, I think we should have a party to celebrate finishing the B &B and seeing

you kids off.

She means us.

That would be great.

We're in.

We got it. I gotcha, I gotcha.

Really pretty, isn't it?

So we'll put these over here, and then we'll do it later. Cool? Yeah.

I don't want to brag, but everyone loves my pun.

All right. Let's see.

What is that?

More fruit? More juice?

I'm just kidding. It's perfect.

Sure.

That was a great story, Dave.

It was a beautiful story. You know, I would say cheers.

Cheers. For the gazebo and so much. The view house looks amazing.

Amazing.

Wow, okay.

Whatever I said about you overpacking it, take it all back.

You look incredible.

Thank you.

I had to borrow mine.

As you can see.

I think you look great in a beige jacket.

Well, I borrowed it because I had to meet a beautiful woman in a cloudy

Come on, everybody.

Come on, guys.

Let's dance.

All right.

Yeah.

Do I have to? Do it. Why not?

Okay.

You want to dance with you?

I'll dance with her.

Oh,

we should change partners.

Right.

Star Slater, don't worry. I gave up winning long ago.

But it's still fun to play a champ like you.

We'll see, Dave.

Champ, huh?

Okay, I may have won a tournament or two.

So was this all a plan when you threw that dart in the bar?

Are you mad?

I feel like I should be.

Okay, the amount of time we stayed here, that was not my idea. That was all

Thelma. I swear.

Could have just asked.

Do you decide yet?

Probably not.

Want to go for a walk?

Yeah. I'm going to go get my sweater. I'll be right back. Okay. Wait here.

So I was studying this upland region, right?

Just fascinated about how this dry, hilly area connects to this marsh.

And suddenly I just got it.

Got what?

Love math.

Okay.

Every heart is a landscape.

Unique and it's layered.

Shaped by the past but not defined by it.

Wow.

For a guy who claims not be good with words.

Avery?

Floyd.

How did you find me?

Location sharing.

Ian, this is Floyd.

Hey. Hey.

You know what? I should, um, let you guys have some privacy.

Thought you didn't get service out here.

This must be the one corner.

Missed you.

Let's go somewhere where we can talk.

I still don't understand why you're here.

I've been thinking.

Move in with me.

Your place, my place, it doesn't matter.

Why would you want to move in together when we barely see each other?

We see each other all the time. At home.

No, we don't. Not really.

Quick.

What color are my eyes?

I don't know. Blue?

Me too.

I thought we were supposed to be 98 % compatible.

We are.

Turns out the magic is in the other 2%. I should probably

go.

No. No.

It's late. Stay.

You don't know these back roads.

Dave and Martha will give you a room.

You'll be okay with that?

Of course. Just because we aren't together doesn't mean I don't care about

Me too.

Come check out the view.

So, I just got a message from Modern Cartography Magazine while I was out

walking with Avery.

Is a new job what you want?

I don't know. A week ago, I would have been out of my mind excited for this

opportunity.

I've always wanted to map remote locations and just...

But I'd be on the road all the time, unreachable, just... Maybe it's time to

tell Avery how you feel.

Yeah, I don't know if I can do that.

Plus, Lloyd, her ex, just showed up out of nowhere.

All the more the reason to do it now.

If being with Avery is what you want, you should fight for that.

How?

You'll figure it out.

I can't believe I let this happen.

Morning, sunshine.

Have you guys seen Avery?

I haven't seen her.

I don't think she's been in this morning.

Okay. Thanks.

Everything's a mess and it's all my fault.

What have I done?

You'll be okay.

I need to tell Ian first.

Good morning.

Hi. Have you seen Ian?

Well, last time we saw him, he was looking for you.

Thanks.

For the road I'm so sorry to leave this way if you see Ian

I've really enjoyed getting to know you both But us two

You'll always be welcome here Thank you

Hope he knows what he's doing.

You're here!

Are you okay?

You look a little... I'm just a little carsick. I thought that didn't happen

with Ian.

It didn't.

Do you have a story?

Did you call World Travel Garage?

I know I should, but... Okay, Avers, what's going on with you?

I finally figured out what was missing from the app.

Turns out it was the same thing that was missing from mine and Floyd's

relationship.

This.

You and Floyd broke up?

For good this time.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

Okay, then why does it feel like you're giving up?

I'm just so tired.

No. No, you're not tired.

I reject your tired.

I just messaged World Travel Guru. This is your dream, Avers, and you can't

quit. Want to know why?

Because... Determination is my superpower.

That's right.

We got an extension.

Okay. We can do this.

Everything's due in two hours.

Is that even physically possible?

Probably not.

I'll work on the app.

It needs to get users to slow down and focus on each other.

Most important, it needs to account for the mysterious X Factor.

Can you do that?

Can I do that?

What's my superpower again?

Coding. Mm -hmm. That's right. Now go.

I am creating the future of my dreams.

All I need is...

Bye.

Everything I thought I knew about love was wrong.

One hour, 58 minutes.

You did it. A bunch of the girls.

Don't get too excited. World travel gurus still have to approve the story,

I'm pretty sure it's not what they were expecting. Do you like it?

It's probably the best thing I've ever written. No matter what, you have your

self -respect.

If I don't approve it, that's about all I'll have.

You don't mind getting paid in self -respect, right?

Hi, Grant.

Avery, hi.

I have to say the feature you turned in was a bit of a surprise.

I thought it might be.

Some people on the team didn't like it.

I knew that was a risk, but I had to tell the truth. It's one of our core

at Love Maps.

I can respect that.

And after reading the piece a few more times, it took in the rest of the team.

The honesty and originality of your voice combined with...

The world travel guru is proud to be the new exclusive home of Love Map.

Where would you and Mr. Anderson like to go next?

Yeah, about that.

You know what?

Let's talk about after the launch.

We have a party to plan.

I started this assignment thinking I had everything all figured out.

Life, romance, every mile of the trip.

Ten days later, I was sad, alone, and deeply confused.

For the first time possibly ever, I risked everything and lost.

But what had I learned from this experience?

I felt different. I knew that.

But what else did I know?

I wasn't sure.

So I did what I always do.

I made a list.

Things I know now.

One, perfect on paper isn't the same as perfect in life.

Two, there is no formula for love.

Three, tender moments happen in the most unlikely places.

Because romance isn't in a place, it's in a person.

Rather, two people who make the effort to really see each other.

And finally, whether it's finding love or planning a vacation, an app can only

get you so far.

Where are you? Party's starting.

I'm not coming.

What?

You know everything I know about Love Map, and you deserve a moment in the

spotlight.

True and true, but that still doesn't answer my question.

I'm doing a thing I can't explain because of a feeling I can't define.

And I'm driving myself.

So that's how you feel it.

You were right, as always.

So why are you still talking to me?

I can save you.

Hi.

Is Ian here?

I'm afraid he's not.

Sorry.

That's Thelma.

Hi.

Hey.

I thought you left.

I did leave.

To get pie.

What are you doing here? I thought you asked Floyd to take you back.

I did.

Back. To Miami to meet the deadline.

I had to go back to fix the mess I made.

And change those clothes, apparently.

I was on my way to the launch party when I decided to come here instead.

So I saw the Peace and World Travel Guru.

I gotta say, it was great.

And just so you know, though, you weren't the only one who was wrong.

Oh?

Yeah, I should not have left the way that I did. I got jealous.

And scared.

And I just, I handled the whole thing poorly.

Look, when I first met you, I really thought I was better off alone. I

that being in a couple was just going to hold me back in life.

But after spending time with you, I realized that if you're with the right

person, it can actually open up a whole new world of possibility. Things I'd

never even imagined. What?

What? World Travel Guru loved our piece. They want to send us all over the world

to make love knots together. Oh, my God. That's awesome.

Where do you want to go?

Somewhere with yours.

I can't believe you drove the full way not knowing what was going to happen

you got here.

In heels.

What was your plan?

I didn't have one.

Really? I find that hard to believe.

I was hoping there would be pie.

That's what you're hoping for.

Hi.

And I'd hope you'd want to do this.
