Okay, give it a shot.

From the moment we met, I knew you'd be the one.

You make me feel whole.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

It's perfect.

Do it just like that.

You think she'll say yes?

The way that you talk about Elaine,

you two are gonna be so happy.

Well, it really is a beautiful ring.

It's perfect for her. Subtle, yet unique.

She's going to see how much work you put into designing it.

You designed it.

I just went off what you told me.

You did the hard part.

Oh, well, it's even better than I expected.

You're gonna have to let me know how it goes.

I want to see you two up on my wall.

I'll send you a picture if she says yes.

Perfect. Good luck!

Oh, thanks.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Bye.

Anthony: Another happy customer?

It's what I do.

You think she'll still say yes?

How could she not? Did you see that face?

That's love.

You always think they're gonna say yes.

What can I say? I'm an optimist.

And, I will remind you,

I have not had one of my rings returned in months.

Okay, you may design the rings,

but I'm the one who has to sell them.

And when a guy walks in here and he thinks a carat

is the orange stick that comes with his buffalo wings,

finding him a ring that his girlfriend will actually like

isn't exactly easy.

Okay, we would not function without you.

- Thank you. - Vicki: Are you two fighting?

- Not anymore. - We never were.

Vicki, as my protégé, would you say that it is harder

to design rings or to sell them?

Oh, designing. For sure.

She's only saying that because you're her boss.

She's saying that because she knows I value honesty.

I always thought it'd be amazing to be a designer.

Whoa, whoa, hey! A designer?

I am hurt.

I would love to see some of your designs sometime.

Oh, don't get too excited.

I am nowhere close to your standard.

I mean, who is?

Kate's in a league of her own.

Look at all these happy couples on the wall.

It's just like anything else.

You put in the time and the hard work,

you'll get better.

But, I'm serious.

I'd love you to show me some sketches.

I'll tell you what I think.

That would be amazing.

I am not ready to be outnumbered by the two of you.

Oh, well, do you want me hire you a sales associate

to be your friend, Anthony?

Okay, but I would get to be head salesman.

- Of course. - Yep.

I have to go.

Oh, where are you off to?

I promised Judy I would help plan her 30th birthday party.

- Tell Judy I say "Hi." - I will.

Radio Announcer: It's another scorcher

Hey!

- Hey! - You ready?

I think so?

- Judy: Kate? - Hey, Jude.

Judy: Be down in a sec!

Okay! Here it is.

It should fit perfectly. I sized it myself.

It looks even better than it did in the shop.

It's perfect for her. She's gonna love it.

I hope so.

Hey, just relax. Be yourself.

You're gonna do great.

Hey there.

Hey. You ready to plan this party?

Let's do it.

Okay, so that takes care of music.

Uh, and Mom said she'd take care of the cake.

Right, did she say where she's getting it?

I don't think so.

But she's coming to dinner so you can ask her.

Okay.

Ben: Does your mom know you don't like chocolate?

She's my mom, Ben. Of course she knows.

- I'll remind her. - Thank you.

So what are you thinking for other food?

Oh, I don't know. We could just order some pizzas.

You're not turning 10 at the roller rink.

No, no, I'll get someone to cater.

I don't know how you manage to do it all:

run a successful business, design all those rings,

and still help me plan my party.

It's your 30th birthday party. It needs to be special.

- You're amazing. - Yes, I am.

Okay, let's talk about the theme.

How do you feel about tropical?

- Oh. - Right?

- Oh, nice. - Yeah.

♪

So, how's everything going at Tokens of Love?

It's going good. It's going really good actually.

That's amazing.

Yeah, we've been so busy

I think we might need to hire someone to help Anthony out.

I love that.

I don't know how he's gonna feel about that.

Oh, I love that colour.

Tamara: You should go try it on.

- You think? - You don't?

It's not really my style, is it?

Styles change. Come on.

- Kate: Ready? - Come out.

What do you think?

Kate, you're a babe.

Oh, I don't know.

You're a knockout. Seriously.

Where am I gonna wear this? I never go anywhere.

To Judy's birthday party.

You don't think it's a bit too much?

- For a party? - It's not my party.

So?

So, I don't want to look like I'm trying to upstage her

or anything.

Are you being serious? Buy the dress.

It looks great!

Fine.

What?

You promise you won't say anything?

I've been keeping your secrets safe since first grade.

Ben is going to propose to Judy.

- Oh, what? - At her birthday.

That's so exciting! Is he freaking out?

He's keeping it together for now.

I helped him design the wedding ring of course.

I'm gonna take it. Thank you.

He keeps calling me to practise the proposal.

Aw, I would expect nothing less.

- So what's wrong? - Nothing.

Okay. Something is obviously wrong.

No. I'm happy for her.

But?

She's my little sister.

And you thought you'd be getting married first?

No. I mean, not necessarily.

Maybe I thought I would be

a little bit farther along by now.

It'll happen.

Maybe you have to get more proactive.

I've had relationships.

It's just every time they start to get serious,

something just doesn't feel right.

Well, what do you think is going wrong?

Maybe I'm too focused on work.

Maybe I need to stop focusing on other people's relationships

and start focusing on my own.

You're Kate Sterling.

Once you put your mind to something, you do it.

Yeah, but that's not how relationships work.

You gotta wait for the universe to send you something.

No, you don't. Do what I do.

Go to singles events. Download some dating apps.

Give the universe a push in the right direction.

I forgot about you and your dating apps.

How many are you on now?

Six or seven.

I don't like to limit my possibilities.

I would never be able to do that.

That's like a full-time job in itself.

You don't need all of them. You just need to join one.

I've tried online dating.

It's too awkward. And... and... awkward.

It's just a starting place to get yourself out there.

Well, joke all you want, but I believe true love is out there.

Whatever you say.

- I'm starving. - Let's eat.

Yes, please.

Before you shut the idea down entirely,

can I just show you one of my apps?

- You won't quit, will you? - It's amazing.

It's my dating secret weapon.

Should dating really involve weapons?

This is "Just Drinks".

I told you. I've tried online dating.

Not like this. It's casual.

- It's fun. - Tamara!

Don't you want to bring a date to Judy's party?

Of course I do, but I'd rather go by myself

than bring some random guy

who could turn out to be a disaster.

You say that now, but, what about the wedding?

Are you gonna go to that alone too?

I promise if we get close to the wedding

and I haven't met anyone I'll give it a shot.

Ooh, deal.

♪

All right, thank you. Have a good day.

- Hey, how's it going here? - Busy.

This is the first lull we've had.

Well, that's good.

Anthony: And you had a visitor.

- Who? - A gentleman.

A hot gentleman.

A hot gentleman came to visit me?

He asked for you specifically. We said you were out.

So he left you his token of love.

- Jamie? - You know him?

I did. He was my first boyfriend.

- What? - In eighth grade.

And then he moved away and broke my tween heart.

- And now he's back. - Looks like it.

And he came to find you after all this time?

Maybe he finally wants to apologize

for not taking me to prom.

Still, it's kind of romantic.

Oh, we were just kids. But it would be fun to catch up.

Oh, right, 'cause he's the one who got away.

Yeah, after he moved, I spent a week watching romcoms

and crying into a carton of mint chocolate chip.

What do you think he wants?

I won't know 'til I call him. You guys okay out here?

Yeah, sure.

You're gonna call him right now?

Yeah.

Well, I thought you were always supposed to wait a while

so you don't seem too eager.

Oh, I don't do that whole "playing hard to get thing."

And also, maybe it's about work.

We have been speculating for an hour.

Please call him and put us out of our misery.

See, what kind of boss would I be if I left

my employees speculating?

Thank you.

- Jamie: Hello? - Hi.

Um... this is Kate Sterling.

Jamie: Kate! Hey, it's Jamie Coleman.

The same Jamie Coleman who rescued me outside a dance

in 8th grade?

Yeah. I wasn't sure you'd remember me.

Kate: Of course.

How could I forget?

I'm surprised to hear from you after all this time.

Surprised in a good way, right?

Kate: Of course!

I'm glad to hear it.

Uh, so I was just wondering if I could take you out

for a coffee sometime.

- For coffee? - Yeah, if you're free.

Um... yeah. Are you looking for a ring?

No, no, no. I'm not a customer.

I was just hoping I could talk to you.

Okay, um, yeah, that sounds great.

Jamie: All right, what's your schedule like tomorrow?

I could probably sneak away for a little bit.

Maybe around 10:00?

Perfect.

All right, there's this great place close by.

I'll text you the address.

Jamie: All right, sounds like a plan.

Okay, bye.

And?

He said he wants to grab a coffee.

Coffee's great. It's casual.

- There's potential for more. - Wait.

Did he say "grab coffee," or "buy you coffee"?

Does it matter?

"Grab coffee" is like old friends.

"Buy you coffee," that's more of a date.

He said "take you out for a coffee."

Definitely closer towards a date territory.

Okay, I'm realizing that I should've been more careful

about my choice of words with women.

No.

I haven't seen this guy in 19 years.

It is not a date.

Okay. What else did he say?

Uh, can you come back, please?

- We're in a meeting. - No, we are not.

- You are not the boss. - Am I not the boss?

You're not the boss.

Can I be the boss when you go on your date?

Go and help the customer.

Whatever you say, boss. Uh, sir, what can I get for you?

♪

Hey!

I wasn't sure you'd recognize me.

Couldn't miss you.

Just... here. Have a seat.

This is a really nice place.

Yeah, it's great. I come here way too much.

So what have you been up to?

In the last 19 years?

- Yeah. - Um... a lot, I guess.

Of course.

- Well, I went to art school. - Oh, that's perfect for you.

Yeah, it was. I loved every minute of it.

I took this jewelry design course, and it made me realize

this is exactly what I want to be doing.

- And now you're doin' it. - Yeah.

- That's impressive. - Well, thank you.

After I graduated, I started working for this, um,

for this local jeweller

and she made mostly earrings and broaches and stuff like that,

but...

I started off as a sales associate.

She took me under her wing

and really taught me how to get my feet wet.

I wouldn't have my own place if it wasn't for her.

I mean, I like to do other stuff as well,

but, these rings,

they change people's lives.

They can completely transform relationships, you know?

And there's just something so special

about when the whole proposal just goes so perfectly

and you know you played a small part in it.

I can imagine.

It's why I like to do the one of a kind stuff.

Each couple is unique.

So don't you think the rings should be unique as well?

I'm sorry.

I sound like a commercial right now.

No, no, I think it's beautiful, no.

So, what about you?

How has life been since you moved?

Hm, well, it was pretty rough in the beginning.

- Really? - Yeah.

I mean, I was so angry at my parents

I didn't talk to them for weeks.

Yeah?

Yeah, they moved me away from all my friends.

I thought you would move away and forget all about us.

- Where did you go again? - Chicago.

- I'm still there, actually. - You like it?

Yeah, it's not bad.

I mean, I definitely didn't forget about

all my friends back home.

Did you forget about me?

After you moved away and broke my heart?

No, of course not.

Why didn't you ever call?

Well, I figured you went to high school,

you became a cheerleader,

you started dating the quarterback.

I definitely never dated a football player.

Not yet.

But after high school.

You're dating a quarterback right now, aren't you?

No, no football players, no. No one for that matter.

Hm, well, there's nothing wrong with the single life.

I mean, I'm livin' it right now.

Yeah? No cheerleaders?

- Hm, not at the moment. - Oh.

- So I wanted to... - This might seem...

- Sorry. - You go first.

This may seem completely out of the blue,

and please feel free to say no.

But, my sister Judy is having a birthday party this weekend

and I thought, if you're still in town,

maybe you'd like to go with me.

Oh.

You know what? No pressure at all, really.

No, no, actually, I'm in town 'til Sunday,

so that could work perfectly.

Yeah, that's, that's perfect.

- Great. - Great.

Great.

So what were you gonna say?

Well, what brings me to town

is I'm actually here doing some employment consulting.

Oh, you are employment consulting here?

I am.

You ever heard of Shoreline Jewelers?

Yeah, sure, they're the mass-produced,

soulless version of Tokens of Love.

Right, so they have, uh, they've hired me to scout out this area

to find someone to run their new division.

It's gonna be focused on the one of a kind market.

Someone to oversee designers, work with customers directly,

and design unique rings.

Basically what I do, but bigger and nationwide.

Exactly.

Which is why I was going to recommend you.

Wait. So, he came to offer you a job?

Apparently. And for Shoreline Jewelers.

Which is bad?

Yeah, they're just, they're so mass produced.

It's like they churn out these engagement rings

Right! Which is bad?

He used to be so sensitive.

And now he's working for Shoreline Jewelers.

But he doesn't actually work for them, right?

They just hired him as a head hunter.

A head hunter for them.

Which is bad!

Can you just take this a little bit seriously?

What are you so worried about?

You say "Thanks, but, no, thanks,"

and go your separate ways.

I have not told you the best part.

Oh. This should be good.

He told me all of this after I invited him

to Judy's birthday party.

- What? - And he accepted.

- What? - Yeah.

Woo, okay!

So now, you're bringing this dude

that works for a company that you hate,

that came to town, to offer you a job,

to Judy's party?

Yes.

- That's hilarious. - No, no, no!

What happened to taking this seriously?

Wait.

And you did all of this to avoid bringing some random guy that

might turn out to be a disaster?

Just, please...

Why don't you just un-invite him?

- No, I can't do that. - Why not?

- Because it would be rude. - So?

What?

Kate Angela Sterling, you like him.

- No, I don't! - Yes, you do!

The only reason why you're going through with this

is because you actually want to spend more time with him.

Yes, I enjoyed talking to him.

And I would like to talk to him again, but that's it.

- This is awesome. - It doesn't even matter anyway.

Because I'm gonna tell him I don't want the job.

He's gonna go back to Chicago to his big fancy life,

and we're never gonna see each other again.

I can solve this problem. This is what you should do.

What?

Pretend like you're thinking about taking the job.

What?

You'll have to talk to him a few more times.

Maybe get dinner.

No, no, no, I'm not gonna do that.

Fine, but I don't wanna hear about it when he's on that plane

back to Chicago.

Hey, Patricia.

Yeah, things are going really great here.

I'm actually right about to meet up with her again.

I think she might really be interested.

Right.

Okay, well, I'll keep you updated on how it goes,

but I'm feeling optimistic.

Go enjoy your party.

No, I want to see what he looks like now.

He basically looks the same, just taller.

He's probably not even gonna come.

Okay, Miss Negativity. You look amazing, by the way.

Trying to impress someone?

I am going to go mingle. If he shows up, then fine.

Oh, my God. There he is.

Oh, he's way cuter than I remember.

- Stop staring. - He really grew into his ears.

- Judy! - What?

Oh, just pretend I said something really funny.

- Are you serious? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Judy.

- Hey. - Happy birthday.

Oh, you didn't have to get me anything.

Come on.

You haven't seen me for 19 years.

You let me invade your party? I had to get you something.

Except I don't know what you like.

So my cousin runs this amazing restaurant in town,

and I thought you and Ben could go out there

Oh, I did.

That's good to know.

That's a great dress, by the way.

Thank you.

It's a new dress. No soda stain this time.

That was a long time ago.

- You wanna go get some food? - Yeah, lead the way.

I found the watermelon.

- It's delicious. - Yeah, there's um, uh...

This is lamb, right?

A little bit of chutney in there.

Yeah, you think it wouldn't work

with the whole puff pastry thing,

but it's actually awesome.

You get a lot of catered lunches at that fancy job of yours?

What?

You have a very sophisticated palate.

No, no, I didn't get that from work.

I actually, I went to culinary school.

- Really? - Yeah.

Well, so, why aren't you a chef?

Why are you employment consulting?

- Is that... - Head hunting?

Right.

Well, actually, I just kind of fell into it.

I used to work at this Italian restaurant.

The owner moved. The place closed.

Um, I wanted to open up my own place, so I went back to school

to get my MBA, took this job to pay off my student loans,

and then a year turned into a decade, and here we are.

That's too bad.

Yeah, I still fantasize about it, you know?

- Openin' up my own place. - You could do it.

Just quit your job tomorrow.

Yeah, I guess, I mean technically I could.

But, what day am I gonna pick to be my last day?

You know, what's it gonna take for me to walk out that door?

- Yeah, it's rough. - How'd you do it?

How'd you start your own business?

Oh, I don't know.

You see the risks and you go for it anyways.

There's no guarantee that it's gonna work out,

but you put your head down

and you just keep pushing forward.

Well, you make it sound so simple.

I'm not gonna lie.

There were many days that I came home crying

into my sister's arms about what a failure I am,

but, you get through it.

So step one? Get a sister.

See? You're gonna have a restaurant in no time.

Well, thank you for the great advice.

Well, I look forward to hearing all about it.

Ben: Hi, everyone.

for another reason.

Today's the day that I ask this beautiful,

smart, hilarious woman

a very important question.

Judy Sterling,

will you marry me?

Yes. Yeah.

You know that was gonna happen?

Who do you think designed the ring?

I told you there's something special about proposals.

Yeah, I think I'm startin' to get it.

How did you manage to keep it a secret?

I have a very good poker face.

Ooh, I would kill for some lasagna right now.

- Lasagna it is. - Kate: It wasn't all great.

I was awkward, but so was everyone else.

So are you going to kiss me?

Okay.

Young Jamie: I think it gets better with practise.

No, it's just...

So, the first time you kissed me,

you said it would get better with practise.

No, no, no, I said the more we practise,

the better we'll get!

How does it feel running your own business?

It alternates between gratifying and very scary.

It goes between the two.

Jamie: Well, you've been running it for a couple years now.

You must be doing pretty well.

It took a while to make it profitable.

You know, I've always dreamed of owning my own place.

Kate: You mentioned that at the party.

Yeah.

- What kind? - Jamie: Italian.

My grandma used to make these amazing raviolis, and breads,

and these homemade cannolis.

Have you ever had a homemade cannoli right out of the oven?

Kate: No.

It's like nothing you've ever tasted before.

I wanna share that with people.

- Will you cook for me sometime? - Jamie: Whenever you want.

When we're in the same city.

Deal.

♪

Kate: Well, thank you for a wonderful evening.

Yeah, we'll have to do it again sometime for real.

Kate: It's a date!

We've been talkin' all night.

Well, I guess we should...

I'd better get goin'. I gotta work tomorrow.

- Kate: Yeah, me too. - Guess I'll go get some sleep.

- Kate: Yes, that's a good idea. - Night, Kate.

Kate: Goodnight, Jamie.

That was fast.

Kate: Sorry.

- Kate: One more thing. - Shoot.

I was thinking maybe I would like to hear

a little more about this job.

Jamie: Really?

Can't hurt to hear what they have to say, right?

No, it can't.

Okay then. Good night.

Good night.

I can still see you.

- Night, Kate. - Goodnight.

Tamara: So when Louis saw me sitting with Brad he said,

and I swear, this is actually what he said,

"Is that your brother?" I almost died.

That's so funny.

Funny? I was mortified.

And then Brad gave me this look like, "What's he talking about?"

And I just sit there through the entire movie

trying to figure out how I was gonna explain it.

Crazy.

Hello? Kate? Not trying to be needy here,

but I'm kinda sensing you're not actually listening.

Tamara: I managed to get dumped by two guys in one night

and you can't even look up long enough

to hear about my tragically hilarious escapades?

What?

Who are you texting?

I'm sorry.

I-I've been talking to Jamie a lot.

- Uh-huh? - Like a lot a lot.

What does that mean?

Basically we talked all night last night.

- Seriously? - Yes.

Wow!

Okay, but now, we're talking about you

and I'm putting my phone away

Actually, suddenly I'd love to hear more about

what's going on with you.

- Really? - Tamara: Yes!

Okay. So...

Kate, Vicki, have either of you seen that ring for Mr. Franks?

It should be over there on the display table.

- Where's Vicki? - Kate: Dentist.

She should be back in about an hour.

You should grab that ring.

Mr. Franks is gonna be here any minute.

Thank you so much.

Let us know how it goes.

Well, it's not like you to be texting at work.

It's nothing.

Oh, was that a big night?

What?

Well, you've been yawning all morning.

And we're packed, so I know you're not bored.

So, I was up late.

On a phone call.

Hm, and who were you talkin' to this time?

No one.

Kate Sterling, were you up all night on the phone with a boy?

That is none of your business.

No, you have been acting weird for too long.

Tell me who you were talkin' to.

- No. - I'm gonna get it out of you.

I got all day.

Hey!

Cynth, what are you doing here?

I was just in the neighbourhood. I thought I'd come by.

- Kate: Oh, look at you. - Cynthia: Oh, I know.

- Anthony: Come get a seat. - I'm massive.

No, you look amazing. So how much longer?

- Two weeks. - That is so soon!

Yeah, she is a rock star. I'm freakin' out.

Aw, he's amazing.

He was practising putting

a diaper on a cantaloupe the other day.

Really?

Well, I'm not gonna wait until there's a baby in front of me

to learn.

Mm, see? You're gonna make a great dad.

If I don't die of anxiety before that.

Shouldn't you be the one with the anxiety

You'd think.

I can't wait to meet the new baby.

You gonna have to come by here all the time.

Isn't that gonna be a bit distracting?

Are you kidding? A new family member?

I know Vicki said that she would babysit anytime.

I would also like to offer that.

This store is really something special.

I don't think Anthony's clicked with his coworkers

like he has here.

Well, it's all thanks to Kate.

The feeling is mutual.

I don't know what we'd do without you or Vicki.

But I have some stuff to take care of in the back.

- So... - Hang on!

You're not gettin' out of our conversation that easy.

What conversation?

Oh, Kate was just up all night on the phone with some guy.

- It was not all night. - Cynthia: Really?

- Is he cute? - Yeah, what's his name?

His name is Jamie.

Oh, wait. This is that guy?

Yes, it's that guy.

Okay, wait, wait. Who's "that guy"?

Well, that guy is her first boyfriend.

That is so sweet.

I haven't seen him in 19 years.

And he just came by to catch up?

Well, he actually he came into town for work.

But then we ended up hitting it off.

Wait, wait. Um, he came for work?

You didn't say it was for work.

Okay, you promise you won't freak out?

No.

He works as a hiring consultant for Shoreline Jewelers.

What?

Is that bad?

Shoreline Jewelers is the worst. What did he want?

It doesn't even matter, because I said "No."

So they made you an offer then?

No, not officially.

They're opening up a new custom orders division

and they wanted me to run it.

- And you said "No?" - I-I'm going to.

You should at least hear them out.

- What? - You think so?

Wow. My own wife.

Babe, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.

How would Kate not being here be a good thing?

I would still own Tokens of Love.

I just wouldn't be around for the day-to-day stuff.

Yeah. See?

Yeah. See?

Would it really be so bad if someone had to take over

as the manager?

Well, when you put it that way.

Exactly.

At the very least, I'd like to know what they're up to.

Just in case we run into competition.

- Okay, but just promise me that you're...

Not gonna get sucked into...

- Hello?

Jamie: You'll never guess where I am right now.

- Kate: Where? - You know, a phone call or...

Jamie: Turn around.

Surprise.

Oh! What are you doing here?

Well, I told Shoreline

that you're actually really interested in taking the job.

They really want you to come on board.

They want you to come back to Chicago

to have a little chat with corporate.

You flew all the way here just to tell me that?

I could've done it over the phone.

But I convinced them that the personal touch was better,

and I wanted to see you.

- How long are you here for? - A couple days.

Uh, sorry.

This is Anthony and his wife, Cynthia.

Oh, Kate's esteemed employees!

Just him.

Oh, well, that's amazing.

You can come here and hang out while he's workin'?

Yeah, Kate's always had an open-door policy

when it comes to families.

Yes, we're all very close here.

We're a small operation,

but we really feel that a personal touch

makes all the difference.

Well, I would expect nothin' less.

Kate talks about you guys all the time.

So, if you're free tonight, can I take you out for dinner?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Okay, how 'bout I pick you up around 7:00?

That's perfect.

Well, okay, I got some stuff I gotta prep then.

I'll let you get back to it.

Great to meet you guys.

I can see why you wanted to hear him out.

Hey! Come on in.

Wow. You look beautiful.

Oh, well thank you.

You don't look so bad yourself.

- I was on a date. - You cooked for a date?

He taught me. He's a chef.

Wait. Jamie?

- Yeah. - I thought he left town.

He did. And then he came back.

Why?

Officially, Shoreline Jewelers asked him to come back to wine

and dine me a bit more in hopes that I'll go work for them.

And unofficially?

Is this actually turning into something?

- I think so. - Wow.

We've only been on two dates.

And he lives hundreds of miles away,

but, there's just something about him that feels so right.

Him living in Chicago wouldn't be a problem

if you move there too.

You know I would miss you so much, but...

If I move to Chicago it would be for the job.

It wouldn't be for Jamie.

But?

The idea of living in the same city is appealing.

You know how she never throws anything away?

I found this.

I can't believe she kept this.

- Look how happy we were. - I thought you'd like that.

none of my past relationships have ever worked out.

Maybe it was supposed to be Jamie all along.

Does that sound crazy?

No. That's definitely not crazy.

- Jamie: Hey, there. - Hi.

Jamie: So, did you get the ticketing info I sent you?

I did.

I looks like you have everything all planned out.

Everything but the entertainment.

The entertainment?

Jamie: What do you think about karaoke?

Absolutely under no circumstances.

Okay, good. I thought you'd say that.

So, I got us tickets to this art museum.

There's a metalwork exhibit I thought you'd really appreciate.

That sounds fantastic.

Yeah, I can't wait to see you.

so you can spend time with me?

Would that be so terrible?

Don't get me wrong. I'm flattered.

You are so annoying. Oh, come on!

Me? Annoying?

I do find you annoying, yes. I have to go.

Oh, come on!

You're gonna call me annoying then hang up?

Now, is that the type of insensitive and hurtful behavior

I can expect when you move here? If you move here.

Guess you're just gonna have to learn to live with it.

Okay.

And then grab the paper and do the crossword.

Crossword? Wow.

So are you a bit of a word nerd?

Well, there's a lot about me you don't know yet.

Oh, okay.

But after that, we'd go to the farmer's market near my place,

grab a few things, and I'd improvise us a little dinner

based on what they had.

That sounds pretty great, actually.

No pressure though.

Don't expect to go home at 5:00.

It won't be the same.

Nah, we're pretty capable people, right?

That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

You know I think that you're an extremely talented,

promising, capable, young salesperson, right?

So, Kate, I just want you

to understand that I did not ask you here

to sell you on Shoreline Jewelers.

Okay.

I brought you here so that you could see the place,

get a feel for it, and decide for yourself

if this is right for you.

- That sounds great. - Trust me.

Everyone here wants you to be completely comfortable.

So, ask me anything.

Okay.

- Um, how big is this place? - Do you mean square footage?

No, how many, um, how many employees do you have?

Five hundred or so in total, but not everyone works here...

- Wow. - ..at headquarters.

Look, why don't we take a walk around?

I can show you more of the place

and introduce you to some people?

- That sounds great. - All right, great.

- This is Kate. - Hello, hi, nice to meet you.

Kate: Do you know everyone?

Patricia: We work in teams every day,

so no one gets lost in the crowd.

- Is it always this busy? - We work hard.

But we have our fair share

of birthdays and weekend get-togethers.

- Yep, workin' super hard. - He... look at this.

Would I have to work in one of those cubicles?

Patricia: You would have your own office,

but you would spend a good deal of time

out meeting with clients.

You could make your own hours for the most part

and have 10 or so designers working under you.

Wow, that really is a big opportunity.

- Patricia: Anything. - Kate: It's you.

Okay, well, good to meet you.

- So, Kate, I'm sorry. - What?

Those meatballs were a bit saucy.

- It wasn't my best work. - They were delicious.

No, I... I...

The polenta was amazing as well.

I am actually pretty proud of the polenta.

It was good.

I gotta get serious for a minute.

You haven't talked about the job all night.

You've been quiet about it. How'd it go?

It was good. It was good.

- Yeah? - For the most part.

- Yeah. - Okay.

- I would get my own office. - Oh, that's cool.

I have my own office now,

but somehow there it feels more important.

Okay, so you've got some pros. What are the cons?

It's big. It's really big.

I'm sure.

There's no way I would be able to learn everyone's name.

It'd be a transition.

It's so fast-paced and busy.

Tokens of Love, it's hard,

but we're nowhere near that level of intensity.

Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Sometimes a fast-paced environment can be good.

That's true, but I'd miss those moments in between customers

with Anthony and Vicki.

It would sort of feel like I'm losing part of my family.

You wouldn't be losing them.

But you wouldn't be able to see them as much.

It'll be tough to move. I've lived there my whole life.

My family is there. My friends are there.

Okay, so, try not to think of it

like you're losing a family.

Try to think of it like you're gaining a work family.

And you can keep in touch with all the people you care about.

- Yep, everyone was really nice. - See?

And they were completely sold on me

from the minute I walked in.

I'm assuming that was your doing.

My doing?

Yes.

I run a small jewelry store hundreds of miles away.

No one would've known about me if it wasn't for you.

So that's what you think?

It's okay. I'm not insecure about it.

But it's true, isn't it?

Kate, Shoreline Jewelers gave me a list of people to scout out

and your name was on it.

I didn't even know you owned a jewelry shop

until I saw that.

- Really? - Yeah.

It's not like I just saw your name and stopped looking.

No, I'm good at my job. I did my research.

And you are legitimately the best person for that job.

Thank you.

Kate, I'm not trying to get you to take this job

just so you can come here and spend more time with me.

Even though that would be amazing.

I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a nice perk.

More than anything,

I really think that this is the best move for you

for your career.

It's an amazing opportunity. You are so talented.

And I really think you need to share that with the world.

I appreciate that. I do.

I just... I keep thinking about what I'd be losing.

Anthony and Cynthia having their baby,

and Vicki starting out designing.

And, and Judy!

I wanna be around when she starts her family.

Yeah, yeah, well, that's a challenge.

But I'm also starting to see what I would be missing

if I don't take the job.

- And what's that? - You.

- I'm glad I made the list. - You are the list.

I don't wanna leave tomorrow.

To be honest, I don't want you to leave either.

I'll miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

You think I should take the job?

I do.

What's most important is what you think.

Every time I think about moving here I get excited.

It's new people, new possibilities.

I really think I would regret it

if I didn't give it a shot.

So what are you tryin' to say?

You promise you're gonna show me around and help me get a place?

Wait...

Because if I come here, I'm gonna need a friend.

Hey, I'll be whatever you want.

I need to talk to Anthony and Vicki first,

'cause I promised I wouldn't make any decisions

without talking to them.

But, I think I'm gonna do it.

I think I'm gonna see how I like working for a big corporation.

Well, that's exciting!

I can't believe I'm gonna do it.

♪

- Hi, how was your trip? - It was good, actually.

- Where's Anthony? - He didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

Cynthia went into labour yesterday afternoon.

- Oh, my God! - I know!

You should have seen him. He was so excited.

He forgot his phone.

He had to come back running for it.

- It was very funny. - Has she had the baby?

He's gonna call us when he has more news.

Oh! That's so exciting!

Right? Oh, I forgot!

These came for you.

Wow.

- They're from Jamie. - For real?

They're huge. So that's still going strong.

Yeah, it is.

Cynthia had the baby!

- What? - It's a boy!

Oh, my God!

Can you just picture a baby Anthony running around?

We're gonna have to get a little suit made

and turn him into a junior sales associate.

Are they ready for visitors yet?

Anthony's gonna stop by this afternoon.

- We can ask him then. - Right.

- Okay. - Go.

♪

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

How are they doing? How's Cynthia?

Oh, they're great. They're great.

- They're just resting. - Can we see pictures?

Yes, yes.

This is Philip Prentice.

Oh, look at that. He's adorable.

Look at those little chubby cheeks.

- And that hair! - Yeah.

He looks just like you.

I keep seeing Cynthia in that smile.

Vicki: Yeah, and your cute pudgy cheeks.

Shouldn't you be getting back to them?

Yeah, I left my wallet in the break room.

Well, we could have brought that to you.

You know, I think Cynthia was lookin' for a reason

to get me out of the room.

I haven't let go of her hand in six hours.

She needed a break.

Well, now that I have the two of you here,

there's something I'd like to talk to you about.

That doesn't sound good.

I've decided to accept the job with Shoreline Jewelers.

We kind of thought you were going to.

But that's not all.

I'm gonna need a new manager here.

Anthony?

You want me to manage Tokens of Love?

Of course. Who else?

And I'm gonna be busy in Chicago,

so we're gonna need a new designer here.

Vicki, I looked at your sketches.

They're amazing. I think you're ready.

Are you serious?

Look, I know it's gonna be a challenge,

but I think this could be really good for all of us.

Well, uh,

I guess if you're leaving me in charge it can't be so bad.

We're gonna miss you around here, though.

I'm gonna be back so often

you're not even gonna know I'm gone.

And, you really like my designs?

I do. They're amazing.

Some of those I wish I designed myself.

I can't believe this. I'm gonna be a designer!

Wow, and, uh, well I guess I'd like to hear it from you.

What does that make me? I guess I am the boss?

- Sure. - Wow.

- Yeah, that's good. - Now, go!

- Be with your family. - Okay, okay, yes, yes.

Jamie: Hey, how'd you like the flowers?

They're beautiful. Thank you.

Jamie: And everything go okay breakin' the news to everybody?

Yeah, I think with the baby being born,

and the idea of the new jobs, everyone was just really happy.

Hey, say congrats to Anthony for me.

- Kate: I will. - So when you headin' out?

Kate: I'm not sure.

I'm gonna talk to Patricia in a few minutes.

So, we'll see. Maybe in a couple weeks?

It doesn't feel real yet.

I know. I can't quite believe it.

Jamie: Have I told you yet how happy I am?

Maybe once or twice. But you can tell me again.

- I'm very, very happy. - Kate: Me too.

Oh, that's Patricia calling. I gotta to go.

Okay, okay, let me know how it goes.

- I will. - Jamie: Talk soon.

Bye.

- Hello. - Patricia: Hi, Kate.

I am so glad that you're accepting the job.

Yeah! I'm really excited.

Patricia: Us too.

You absolutely made the right decision.

And we want you to get started right away.

That sounds great. What are the next steps?

Well, there's going to be a lot of paperwork involved.

So I'm going to have someone send that over to you right now.

I know we still need to work out the terms

for buying Tokens of Love.

And we also need to get a contract for you

to sign with us.

Wait. I'm sorry.

What do you mean "buying Tokens of Love"?

I'm sorry.

I thought someone talked to you about that.

No, they didn't.

This is the first I'm hearing about this.

Corporate would like to buy Tokens of Love

and turn it into a Shoreline Jewelers branch.

- It's a fabulous location. - No, I had no idea about this.

I thought Jamie was supposed to talk to you about it.

Maybe we got our wires crossed. I'm really sorry, Kate.

But you'd have to pass off management anyway,

and you wouldn't be able to have a stake

in two competing businesses.

What about my employees?

Well, they're welcome to apply with us.

With their experience and your recommendation,

I'm sure they'd have a shot at getting hired.

Yeah, I don't... I don't know.

Well, Kate, I...

I'm sorry. I-I don't think I can do this.

Kate, I admire what a loyal employer you are,

but this is business.

Your employees will get new jobs.

Do you really want to throw away this opportunity?

What about what you want?

I'm sorry, Patricia. I have to say "no."

- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.

Patricia: That's disappointing.

Let me know if you change your mind.

I won't, but thank you.

Patricia: All right, take good care of yourself.

Hey. How'd it go?

Kate: When were you gonna tell me?

What?

When were you gonna tell me they wanted to buy Tokens of Love?

After I signed the contract?

Kate, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Really?

Because I just spoke to Patricia.

She told me you were the one who was supposed to tell me.

Whoa, no, no, no! Wait, she's wrong.

Kate: I know you were excited for me to move to Chicago,

but if you think tricking me into selling my business

was the way to go about it, then you don't know me at all.

- So just... have a nice life. - Kate, wait!

What are you guys doing here?

We thought you might need some reinforcements.

You're not gonna talk to him?

- He lied to me. - Are you sure?

He was the one who was supposed to tell me

about Tokens of Love.

He didn't. I'm over him.

I'm with you. Other fish in the sea.

Yeah, but you said you loved him.

- Well, I was wrong. - Tamara: Great attitude.

I got three guys I could set you up with right now.

Kate isn't ready to date again.

- Maybe I am. - No, there's no way.

At least give yourself time to grieve the relationship.

I don't need to. He lied to me.

It's over.

Well, maybe he did it because he wanted to be with you.

Yeah, that doesn't make it okay.

No, of course not, but it shows how much he cared about you.

- Did he though? - Come on, Kate.

- You know he did. - He didn't care about me.

He cared about his commission.

He was gonna let my whole business go under.

What about Anthony and Vicki?

- Fair point. - Thank you.

You know what you need?

For the last time. I am not joining a dating app.

Actually, I was gonna say you need to get out of town.

- Clear your head. - That is a great idea.

I can't.

I'm not just gonna go on vacation right now.

Oh, nothing too involved, just a weekend.

It could be relaxing.

Why do I have the feeling you guys

have already planned this out?

Just hear us out. It's a good idea.

Look, Mom set me up for a couple nights at this cute B and B

she wants me to check out for the wedding.

I'm so swamped with everything right now.

I don't think I could relax even if I tried.

You think I could?

I think you need to get out of this apartment.

Yes, just take the trip. You'll feel better.

You have to take it so you can tell me

if I should get married there or not.

Don't think of it as a vacation. I'm hiring you to do recon.

- You really don't wanna go? - Positive.

Well, thank you. Anytime.

You know that.

I don't know what I would do without you two.

Well, lucky for you, you'll never have to find out.

And, we can revisit signing you up for a dating app

when you get back.

No!

Hello?

Patricia: Kate. I'm glad I caught you.

Patricia, I'm surprised to hear from you.

I want to apologize for the misunderstanding

and re-offer you the job without buying Tokens of Love.

Really?

Patricia: It was a mistake on my part.

I thought I had e-mailed Jamie asking him

to give you a heads-up.

But of course I found it in my drafts folder.

Kate, you did what you had to do to protect your employees.

That's exactly the kind of person we want here

at Shoreline Jewelers.

Can I have a few days to think about it?

Patricia: You take all the time you need.

Okay. Talk soon.

Thank you.

I should've known Judy was up to something.

- Okay, can I explain? - Jamie.

I had no idea what they were planning.

I know. I talked to Patricia.

She told me everything. I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

Can I please sit down?

Because these plates are really hot.

Yeah, come.

Wow.

- So Patricia called you? - Yeah.

She re-offered me the job

and told me that I could keep Tokens of Love.

Well, that's great. You said "yes," right?

No, I didn't.

Why?

I'm really glad that you didn't lie to me,

but that job, it's not for me.

Yeah, but you were so excited.

It was such a great opportunity.

I just... I love my store.

It's what I've always dreamed of.

And I'm not just gonna give that up.

Even though I know what that means for us.

What does that mean for us?

We live in different cities.

I really care about you, but,

I don't think I can do the whole long distance thing.

About that.

- I'm a sellout, Kate. - No, you're not.

Yeah, I am.

I mean, I do all this fantasizing

about livin' the chef life,

but I do absolutely nothing about it.

So what are you gonna do?

Well, I've already done something.

- I quit my job. - Are you serious?

- Yep, two days ago. - I didn't ask you to do that.

I didn't do it for you. But I did do it because of you.

I mean, you inspired me. Look at you.

You worked so hard to own your own business,

to pursue your dream, and now it's my turn.

I've already started scouting out locations

and I understand if you don't want to give this

another shot, Kate.

But, if you do, I'm gonna open in Minneapolis.

You're gonna open a restaurant here?

Yeah, it's my hometown. It's where I grew up.

And if you do wanna give me a another chance,

I figure, you don't have to come to me,

I'll come to you.

Okay, don't look so surprised.

I always said that I needed something

that was worth it,

that was gonna get me to pull the plug

and move onto the next step.

Well, it's you. You're worth it, Kate.

I love you. I have since eighth grade.
