[BILLY WATKINS, "YOU'RE UNFORGETTABLE

(AFTER YOU'VE BEEN KISSED)"]

(SINGING) I couldn't forget you.

ABE (VOICEOVER): Does love really ever show up on time?

Or, like the hands of time, does it strike by design?

And yet somehow, when you least expect it,

those gentle hands that grab you and take you dancing, those

hands that build a whole new world with you,

those hands that strike you like lightning,

electrify you, leave you lit up and glowing in such a way

even the sun burns with envy.

(SINGING) When you left me, darling--

ABE (VOICEOVER): A sun that will never go down.

(SINGING) --it was your love that I missed.

You shattered my dreams all my life it seems.

I've tried both night and day.

ABE: That's beautiful, sweetheart.

I really love your poems.

You like it?

Yeah.

I posted it to the Capturing Romance page yesterday

and it's gotten a lot of shares.

Mm.

I just-- I'm actually considering

adding it to the pitch today.

I don't know.

Is that crazy?

It's beautiful.

It'll blow that publisher's socks off.

This publisher's a big wig, Anita Jones.

She's run the company for like 25 years.

Well, I'm sure she'll know what's good when it hits her.

[scoffs] I hope so.

It's just hard.

I've been working on these poems for the better

part of a decade.

But in some ways, this kind of feels

like my life's defining moment.

It's but one moment of many.

If Anita doesn't want to publish your book, someone else will.

Look at The Beatles, took them forever to get signed.

I do love when you compare me to the Beatles.

Well, you do look exactly like Ringo.

Hey!

I'm not the one who rocked a handlebar

mustache in the 1970s.

Your grandma loved it.

What I would give to see you and Grandma back in the day.

I'm sure you were the cutest high school sweethearts ever.

Well, honey, your grandma and I weren't

high school sweethearts.

You know that, right?

What?

I thought you and Grandma dated in high school.

No, no, no.

I knew her in high school, but she was

going steady with someone else.

We didn't start seeing each other

until I got back from the service.

Grandpa!

Who is this other woman?

Come with me.

Her name was Ruth.

She was a cheerleader and she liked to read, like you.

She's the one who got me into books in the first place.

A cheerleader and a nerd.

Grandpa, you scored.

Why did you never tell me about her?

She's adorable.

I knew how close you were with your grandmother

and she was my soul mate.

But I believe a person can have more

than one soulmate in this life.

Don't you?

I definitely do.

In fact, I think that's a lovely idea.

When's the last time you two spoke?

Not since I congratulated her on her wedding in '65.

I left back in '61 and when I got back,

she was already married.

Oh, Grandpa.

That must have been really hard.

Well, I was gone for four years.

I ran into an old high school friend

about 10 years ago who told me her husband had passed,

but we didn't exchange information.

Well, do you know where she is?

Maybe you could reach out.

Have you ever tried?

Oh, many times.

Grandpa, I could have helped you with this.

I make a living doing online poetry.

That means I'm notoriously good at the internet.

I don't think she's listed on the internet.

Well, we will find another way.

Why don't you two meet up?

I'm sure she would flip to hear from you again.

Unlikely.

I have a hunch her cheerleading days are behind her.

You know what I mean.

Oh, I've got to get to this pitch.

Let's bookmark this for later, yeah?

I'm so proud of you, sweetheart.

You're more than ready for this.

Go blow 'em away.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Love you!

Love you, too.

Ryan, you're going to be late.

Thanks for the news update, El.

Let's retrace your steps.

The last place you had your photography portfolio was?

When I was shooting in Botswana.

OK, that is profoundly unhelpful.

Botswana, the airport.

Did you check your suitcase?

No.

You're a detective genius, El!

Yes!

Actually, I just possess standard deductive reasoning

abilities like they do in the Golden Glass mystery novels.

Oh, well, I'm glad someone in the family got those.

Now you'll be OK while I'm gone?

Wow.

You're the easiest 12-year-old in the world to look after.

I feel like you're looking after me half the time.

Mm-hmm.

OK, I'll see you later.

Ryan?

Huh!

Love you!

Oh, and tonight, we're getting takeout.

As opposed to all the other nights when we've cooked.

OK, Rory Clark, the in-house publisher.

So you're the poet.

Anita told me all about your stuff.

Ah.

Will Anita be joining us?

Oh, no, no, no.

Unfortunately not.

She, uh-- she had a big old project come up and had

to take off to London, so.

But in the meantime, I'm your guy.

So let's talk poetry, shall we?

Sure.

So you've got a great social media following,

a ton of people loving your stuff.

What is it, like, 25,000 followers?

Yeah.

It's called Capturing Romance.

And I write poems based on love stories that inspire me

and I upload them to the page.

OK.

So that's basically what this book would be?

No, actually.

The book would be a collection of poetry

that I've written over the past 10 years or so.

OK, so what's the hook?

There's no hook.

It would essentially be my anthology

to branch out as a writer.

I see.

Well, an anthology isn't exactly marketable, so.

It's poetry, not a Super Bowl ad.

True, true.

Very, very true.

But it is how the world is working now.

Sad, isn't it?

Look, my manager spoke with Anita,

and she seemed to really like my stuff.

Oh, and a lot of people are really

going to like your stuff.

Problem is if they don't open the book.

But hey, Annika--

Ahn-ika.

Right.

I actually have another meeting to prep for,

so if you have any other questions,

happy to answer them.

Thanks so much for coming in.

Hey.

Oh, my gosh, Kevin!

Oh gosh, I haven't seen you since those flood pants.

How is Shel?

[scoffs]

[shrieks]

Oh, great!

Perfect.

Awesome.

Today rocks.

Sorry.

Annika?

Um, Brian.

Wow, this is crazy.

I don't think I've seen you since--

You left me on one knee back in college?

So, uh, what are you doing here?

Oh, I have a meeting.

For a book?

You know, the surprise in your voice is deeply affirming.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just--

--had to help me through British Lit in college?

And if you hadn't edited my essays,

I would have unquestionably flunked?

Well, yeah.

It's for my street photography.

Basically, a pretentious picture book.

Oh, of course.

Of course.

Yes, I've seen your stuff.

It's beautiful.

I've actually been meaning to tell you that.

I just--

You've been busy becoming the internet's

greatest poetry sensation.

Ha.

Well, it's nothing like you.

I mean, your stuff's blowing up.

I'm doing OK.

Hey, did I see somewhere that you're living with Abe?

Yeah, actually.

My parents are taking that Europe trip

that they were always dreaming of,

so I figured I'd keep him company.

How's he doing?

He's really good, actually.

He told me that he wants to try to reconnect

with his first love.

So we're going to maybe try to find her.

That's incredible!

Well, good for him.

Yeah!

Well, can you tell him I say hi?

I will.

And hey, good luck with the book-- book.

It's OK.

It's hard for me to say, too.

This cannot be happening.

Hi!

How'd it go?

No.

What happened?

I don't know, Tia.

Good question.

Let's see.

Maybe it's the fact that an unprecedented Rory Clark

has taking over as in-house publisher for Anita

and wants nothing to do with my book.

But you know whose book he does want?

Ryan Hembroff's.

Ryan Hembroff?

As in college boyfriend-turned-famous

photographer Ryan?

I didn't even know that Ryan knew what a book was.

OK, so what did this Rory guy have to say about your pitch?

Huh.

He said that it's basically unprofitable.

My entire life's work--

unmarketable.

I mean, I get it.

I know that Capturing Romance is nowhere near as popular as Ryan

Hembroff's street photography, but like,

since when do you have to be famous to get a book released?

Since 2016.

Oh, I'm sorry.

OK, you know what? Let's just drink our coffee.

We can figure this out.

Be fine.

No.

Tia, I don't want a coffee.

I want a book.

And I have worked too hard for this.

I'm going back in there.

Annika, your brain's decaffeinated.

Don't do this.

Huh.

So the book would just be a bunch of pictures

of an old guy wearing a fedora?

Oh, no, there'd be a bunch of other stuff, too.

Like?

You know, I don't know.

Just kind of like whatever I find along the way.

I don't like to plan much.

I can see that.

Mr. Clark!

Miss West.

Back so soon?

Excuse me.

I have a few things that I forgot to say.

You and Mr. Hembroff both, it seems.

No offense.

[clears throat] I need to know why you passed on my book.

What is it that you're looking for?

Do you want a series of love poems?

Do you want poems in the shape of a story?

Do you want a mystery?

What are you looking for?

Do you have a pitch with all those things?

No.

Your grandpa.

What?

Oh, it's just--

in the lobby, you said your grandpa

was looking for his first love.

I mean, that sounds like a love story with a bit of a mystery,

right?

Oh, I like that.

Um, I was going to help my grandpa find her.

Ruth, that is.

But she's very hard to find on the internet.

Anyway, I was thinking--

That you were going on a quest to find her!

Not exactly.

Oh, wait, wait.

Brilliant idea.

Oh, yes!

Annika here is a great poet, but zero marketability.

Ahn-ika.

Ryan here has a massive following, but snooze.

No one wants another coffee table book.

But putting the both of you on a joint project, Hmm.

You want us to write a book together?

Yeah, I feel like there's got to be another way.

Any other way.

Listen, you would set off to find Ruth,

chronicling poems of love from the people

that you meet along the way.

You will document it with photos.

The question is, will it sell?

But we can test for that.

How?

Put it on the Capturing Romance

page, just the teaser version.

And if it gets enough legs, then we

can talk about Capturing Romance, the book.

So if people like it, you'll give us a book deal?

Maybe.

I mean, if you manage to find Ruth,

that would make it obviously way more interesting to read, but--

oh, I would also need continued updated pages.

Wait.

You want us to advertise our book idea

while also writing the book?

How long would we have?

Well, I mean, we'd probably have to keep all

the production dates, I assume.

Two weeks.

Wait.

You'd want us to pull this all together in two weeks?

I don't really hear a very good pitch from either of you

and we don't really have any other options, so yes or no?

Book or no book?

Uh.

Does the term negotiating mean anything to you?

I can't write a new book in two weeks.

Listen, I think we're pretty lucky he gave us

an offer at all, considering five minutes earlier, he

described my portfolio as a bunch of old dudes

wearing fedoras.

Ryan, it takes me two weeks to write one poem.

So?

Write shorter poems.

I'm just going to head back in there

and tell him the whole thing is off.

Wait, wait, wait.

Please don't.

Look, if I get this book published,

it'll look really good for me in terms

of getting hired by a full-time staff publication.

I thought you never wanted an office job.

Well, I don't consider a steady photography

gig an office job.

I'm sorry.

I have just been dreaming about getting my first book published

since I was like 8, and this is definitely

not how I imagined it.

Sure, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

I mean, regardless of how we feel about Rory,

it's a pretty interesting prospect.

So are we doing this?

You know who's going to love this?

Ellie.

She's been staying with me for a few weeks

and she is deep in the Golden Glass mystery novels right now.

Oh.

How old is Ellie now?

12.

No way.

I know.

And why is she staying with you?

My sister and Mike are going through a separation,

unfortunately.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's been tough, but this will be good for her.

Perfect opportunity to get a head out of a book.

So when should we tell them?

Right now.

Like, right right now?

So the idea is kind of a mystery-style adventure

where we try to find Ruth in real time.

We will be conducting interviews with people along the way,

turning their love stories into poems.

And Ryan here will be capturing it all with his photos.

How does that sound?

Sounds like a book I'd like to read.

But how do we find Ruth?

Since we don't have a lot of information to go off of,

we're going to have to do some detective work.

Yes!

Grandpa, see if you saved any of Ruth's past address listings

in your Christmas card file.

On it.

Ellie, Ryan, scour the internet

for the name Ruth Barlow, but feel free to nix anybody

under the age of 75.

Got it.

And I am going to find my color coordinated sticky notes.

[ASSAF AYALON, "IT BLOWS MY MIND"]

(SINGING) I want to shout it to the world

so they know my sweet baby loves me so.

Hey!

Anything with Ruth in it?

Anything at all?

So based off this information, Ryan and I will make

our first stop in Watertown.

There's a Ruth Barlow there who works at the village

market as a florist.

Does that work for everybody?

What time should we hit the road?

8:00 AM?

Pick me up?

Good luck with that.

Oh, excuse me, Eleanor.

8:00 AM?

I'll be there.

8:00 AM and a coffee.

I'm impressed.

You expected me to be late?

I mean--

You know, I have grown up quite a bit

since we were together.

I see that you sold your motorbike.

Yeah, two wheels for four.

You can still do math.

Funny.

You're funny.

No, I'm still the same.

Ruth Barlow.

Ruth Barlow.

RB, Ruth Barlow.

Plant lady, right?

Floral arrangements.

I think that might be her.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hello.

Is your name, by chance, Ruth Barlow?

Yes, that's me.

Great!

This might sound like a bit of a strange question,

but did you ever know an Abe West?

I can't say so.

Why do you ask?

We're trying to find my grandfather's first love.

Her name is also Ruth Barlow, and we are on a journey

to try and find her.

Well, that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

We think it's pretty sweet, too.

When does your shift end?

In about four hours.

Do you think we could come back?

It's a bit of a long story, but we

are trying to find Ruth as a part of a book

that we are working on.

And we're conducting interviews of love stories along the way.

Oh, well, I have a great love story.

Well, we'd love to hear it.

Well, that gives us a solid four hours to kill.

What do you say we try to grab some interviews here,

and then we work on the project?

Work on what?

You haven't even talked with Ruth yet.

Ryan, we still have to blow up the Capturing Romance page

and we have an entire book to write,

so I would say that there is plenty to work on.

Annika, you've got to learn to relax.

Let life come to you a little.

That's how you get the best shots in photography.

Well, in poetry, you get the poem

by crafting each word to say exactly

what you want it to mean.

And you do that with deliberate focus and time.

You can't just wait for inspiration to strike.

So let's go find some inspiration.

We'll start here, and then--

ooh, what do you say we head to Stella's?

Stella's Sweets?

You want to go back to campus?

Yeah!

Let's go see the old Alma Mater.

You know, I would say the chances

of finding some college canoodling students

to interview to be very high.

Hmm.

Let's go.

Wow.

This brings back memories.

You realize we met right here?

Yeah, I know.

Don't remind me.

You were sitting at this table devouring

a sundae like ice cream was going out of business.

I was hungry and I needed blood

sugar to fuel my studious mind.

You had chocolate syrup all over your face.

And I very politely asked if I could take your picture.

You were so caught off guard.

Well, yeah.

Because you were a total stranger and I looked

objectively awful.

And I showed you the photo and you wiped it off so fast.

As opposed to what, keeping it on?

It was so cute.

I thought, I'd like to take this girl out for another sundae.

Hm.

Well, it was a genius first date idea, I'll give you that.

Mind of a genius at work, I guess.

Calm down.

Let's not forget how you got through English class.

I tutored you right over there.

The only reason Professor Levy didn't flunk me was because she

knew you were helping me.

She was so upset that we were friends.

Yeah.

She knew you were a bad influence.

And she was right.

But little did she know, you were under my influence

the entire time.

Little did she know.

What are we getting?

Oh, you know exactly what I'm getting.

You know, I forgot how much you love bubblegum ice cream.

It's so--

Unique?

Radical?

Avant garde? - Gross.

I was going to say gross.

You know what I forgot about?

Hmm?

Ah, yes.

Well, you forgot because I was always the recipient

of your rubber duck prize.

Sounds like you're complaining.

Well, I know this is hard to believe,

but it's very difficult to know what to do with a collection

of 35 rubber ducks.

Well, let's make it 36.

You wouldn't want one to be lonely.

No, that would be devastating.

I'm telling you, I'm a changed man.

All right.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Grab that duck!

I see.

I see which one we're going for.

Yes, yes, yes.

There?

Yes, take what is yours.

Here we go.

[gasps]

Come on!

Oh!

Oh!

Yes!

I defeated the claw.

And thus, our duck family grows.

Oh, hey, look at that couple.

Maybe we should grab their picture

and get their love story. Yeah?

I don't know if we should interrupt.

Ooh!

And then after, we could look around,

see if any of our old professors are here.

Oh, yes, I need to get Professor Levy's love story.

Yes.

She's going to hate that you're

still hanging out with me.

Working with you.

It's a little different.

And honestly, more surprising.

Hi.

Ryan texted me.

Apparently, they've got the wrong Ruth.

So I was thinking about diving into some detective work,

but I thought I should go where my sources are.

Feels like a wise plan.

So are you busy?

It seems like I'm about to be.

An unsolved mystery waits for no man.

Exactly.

What I realized in school today, before I got in trouble

for not paying attention, is that in the Golden Glass House

mystery books, it's always important to get to know

your subject in questioning.

Couldn't say it better myself.

So let's talk about Ruth.

Tell me everything.

Well, I met Ruth when I was 16.

That's not much older than me.

Yeah, right.

I thought she was the best cheerleader on the squad,

but I also saw her in the library a lot.

She was a big reader, a real history buff.

That was something I admired.

Me too.

Do you have any photos?

Oh, sure do.

She's so pretty.

And smart as a whip.

She used to tutor me because she paid attention in class.

I don't think school is for me.

Why?

You're clearly very smart.

Feels a bit overrated like most things--

fame, luxury, love.

Hold on now.

Love isn't overrated.

Sure it is.

And you haven't ever been in love, have you?

No.

I assume you have?

Big time.

First with Ruth when I was a kid, then with my wife,

we had a beautiful relationship for nearly 40 years.

Dang.

That's like four of my lives.

My parents have been together for 15,

but they're maybe going to separate.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's all right.

So anyways, Ruth was a big reader and she was good

in school.

That gives us some interesting leads.

Sure does.

I lived in a townhouse at the time, and my neighbor, Nancy--

who would later become my wife--

lived next door.

My lawn was always gorgeous, pristine.

But hers was a mess, weeds everywhere

growing as tall as me.

So still fairly small weeds.

Well, I thought it made the house look terrible.

So I'd get angry and tell her, if you don't clean this up,

I'll pull all the weeds out myself.

But then, she started bringing me a bouquet of wildflowers

every single day just to prove how beautiful they were.

From the weeds in the lawn?

That's how it started, but eventually, they

got more and more elaborate.

I couldn't believe all those flowers were weeds.

But weeds are flowers, too, you know.

We just call them weeds because they're

growing somewhere unwanted.

I didn't know that.

It's all perception.

And as soon as I started to see Nancy as a flower,

she and her lawn didn't bother me at all.

Really?

Really.

So I started to let the wildflowers

grow all over the place.

And you know what?

What?

We got more compliments than ever before.

And this is, too, why I have never touched my lawn.

Are you two still together now?

Oh, yes.

50 years next month.

So what's the secret?

The secret is the flowers and the weeds.

They're more often than not the same thing,

so try to see the flowers more than the weeds.

Would you mind if I took your photo?

Oh, sure.

And can I follow your Capturing Romance page?

My kids have got me all over the socials these days.

Oh!

Of course.

Lovely.

Thank you.

Looks like Ellie just got us a new lead.

RUTH 1: Oh, that's great.

Excellent.

We have come to some new conclusions about Ruth number

two.

Let's hear them.

Through my interrogation of Abe today--

I thought it was a nice conversation.

--I've discovered some important information.

One, she was very interested in history, and two,

she loved to teach.

That's some serious intel.

So we went back to the interwebs,

did a little digging, and found a Ruth Barlow in Bristol.

She's a museum director at the Bristol Boat Museum.

Oh, that's a great find.

You didn't come across any photos, did you?

No.

And we couldn't find an age, but she's

run the museum for a long time.

Ruth also had a brother who lived in Bristol.

Not sure if he lives there anymore, but--

Bristol it is.

But we should probably go in the afternoon

to avoid the school tours.

Yes.

So El, would you mind hanging out

after school for a bit tomorrow, or maybe

going to a friend's house?

Can I come here?

Of course you can.

You also mind sticking around now for a bit while we work?

Not at all.

I can start my research on Ruth number 3.

And if I come up blank, luckily, I have study hall tomorrow.

RYAN: Young people should make more of a mission to get advice

from the older generation.

Why do you think I hang out with my Grandpa so much?

Because you have no friends?

Hilarious.

I'm kidding.

You know I love Abe.

So between Ruth, the students, and our old professors,

we got 15 interviews today.

So can you write up 15 quick poems

we can post to the Capturing Romance page

throughout tomorrow?

You want me to write 15 poems tonight?

Short ones, the teasers.

But then, actually, yes, also the full poems

we can send Rory for the book update.

No.

There's absolutely no way that I can do that.

Well, Annika, you have to do it.

These are the terms we agreed to.

No, Ryan.

It's not my process.

Well, then, maybe you should be

open to changing your process.

What if we did a poetry reading?

You know, just to generate some caption ideas.

What do you mean?

Well, we each write quick little poems

and then recite them out loud like it's slam poetry night.

Slam poetry.

You're going to feel really incredible about yours

because mine will be trash.

No.

Please?

Not going to happen.

[clears throat] Here I am to write you an ode.

You should be gracious that it is bestowed.

Upon you so that you, too, desire

to make your poem just as fire.

[imitates air horn]

Oh, it was actually really good.

Now I'm intimidated.

Nothing more intimidating than a man that can recite

his own poetry with confidence.

Now, come on.

You go.

Come on, inhabit the Shakespeare within.

Roses are red, violets are blue, this poem is bad

but what can you do?

So that's what we call self-sabotage.

Come on, write me poem about Ruth, first thing

that comes in your head.

I promise, it'll be good.

How do you know?

Because it's you.

[sighs] A weed, they say, is a pesky thing, a blight

[sighs] A weed, they say, is a pesky thing, a blight

to be removed come spring.

But the difference lies not in the petals, but name.

So water your flowers and your weeds the same.

Yeah, I don't know if I like that.

Sometimes your first try can just be right.

[sighs]

Go on.

Post it.

You can do it.

[message chime]

It's Rory.

Where is the manuscript draft?

We literally just started.

Yeah, but we don't have much time.

OK, I have to take El home, but I'll send you the photos

and you can punch out some poems tonight.

Oh, and send Rory the pages?

Please?

Ryan, look, the--

I can do the captions, but I can't do the full poems.

No, Annika, look.

I know it's a lot of work, but you can do it.

Forgot my jacket.

15 poems.

I write 15 poems in a year.

Hey!

How's it going?

I don't think I can do this.

What do you mean?

I need you to work your manager magic

and get us an extension.

Just go around Rory and--

and try to talk to Anita.

I just know that I won't be proud of anything

I create in two weeks.

Yeah.

I'll call Anita first thing tomorrow.

Thank you.

Morning.

Hi.

Did you check the post from last night?

Not yet.

Why?

It's blowing up.

How?

People must love us together.

They really seem to like your little caption.

Oh, please.

No, really, they're commenting on your poem.

Really?

Yeah.

See?

You hit Rory with the manuscript pages?

I'm handling it.

You're handling it?

I'm getting us an extension.

How?

My manager.

Don't worry about it.

Trust me.

Annika.

She'll get it.

Now, let's go.

I have to post the Capturing Romance teasers from the car.

TEACHER: Welcome back, class.

Let's test your knowledge on the next unit.

So what is this shaded area?

Ellie?

That's detention, Miss Hembroff.

[students oohing]

Hello?

Can I help you?

Oh, hi!

You're so young.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Oh, not at all.

Let me explain.

I'm Ryan, this is Annika.

And you, I'm guessing, are Ruth Barlow?

Yes.

Well, it's nice to meet you.

Long story short, we're here making a book.

Yes.

It's about my grandfather's long lost love, Ruth Barlow.

Enter you.

Except not you, you're the wrong Ruth.

Nothing personal.

We were just expecting someone her grandfather's age.

But we will be collecting love stories from the people

we meet along the way, and then we'll be turning

those into a book of poetry.

Would you mind if we ask you some questions?

Well, I've got a great one.

Hey, Abe?

It's Ellie.

I'm good, but I do have detention.

Do you mind coming to pick me up later?

I moved here to work as the museum's head of education.

But a month after I moved, the museum director

left because the board wanted to propose some budget cuts.

No.

I knew that the new director they were considering

wanted to make those cuts in education.

So I decided to apply to be the new museum director.

I loved this museum.

And I knew losing the education program would be

devastating to the community.

So what did you do?

I stayed up late every night trying to configure budget

cuts to save the program.

And did you?

Yeah.

And I got the directorship.

That's awesome.

And then I hired a new head of education, who

would later become my husband.

OK, that's adorable.

Oh, he is adorable.

And he's grown our education program to be twice the size.

So what would you encourage others to take

away from your experience?

Sometimes what feels safe is actually just moving backwards.

Choosing the thing you love can be risky,

but it's always worth it because there's always more love.

That's good advice for any couple.

Oh!

You-- we are not a couple.

No.

Are you sure?

No, no.

We-- we used to be.

Oh, well, then.

That explains it.

Explains what?

There's so much shared love between the two of you.

It's nice to see that you've maintained that.

How is your mystery novel?

Golden Glass House, right?

Oh, it's captivating.

You can borrow it after me if you want.

Well, thank you.

Annika, Ryan, come on in.

Mm.

What five star Michelin restaurant

did we just step into?

And did you save some for us?

Did you place an order?

You actually need a reservation.

This place sounds expensive.

It's OK, Ryan is paying.

Not until we finish the book.

Speaking of which, El, any progress on our next Ruth?

Somewhat.

But Abe and I have been discussing

a different mode of attack.

Let's hear it.

ELLIE: So you've already visited the Ruths closest to us.

The other Ruth Barlows are kind of far out.

Maybe we should just call ahead of time.

That way, we can really single out who the real Ruth is.

Yeah.

And that way, we can interview people

en route to finding the Ruth, not just a potential Ruth.

We are in a time crunch now.

Well, we do have the extension.

Yeah, but still.

The only problem with that is Ellie

and I went through the White Pages today.

And we counted a total of 256 Ruth Barlows.

So here's our idea.

We hit the road, all of us, back to Abe's hometown

where we can visit the County clerk's office.

Woodland Oaks.

When?

This weekend.

It'll be so fun, the four of us doing detective work.

It'll basically be Golden Glass House.

Abe, you're in for this?

I think it might get us further than a weekend

of blind dialing.

Well, OK.

Woodland Oaks it is!

ELLIE: Yes!

Woo, I'm so excited for this.

Can we eat?

[music playing]

So, Grandpa told me that he thinks

Ellie's having a bit of a hard time

with her parents and everything.

Yeah, I think so, too.

This trip will help.

It'll be nice for you guys to hang out, too.

You know, you can talk books and stuff.

Yeah.

I was thinking I might stay behind.

What do you mean?

Well, you could send me the photos.

I have a lot of work to do.

And I don't have any time with all of this road tripping.

Annika, I'm not sending you the photos.

Your poems will be so much better

if you're there in person.

You know, it's about the energy.

Well right now, it's about getting this book finished.

You won't even notice that I'm gone.

Of course I will.

What's going on with the extension?

We're getting it.

We're definitely getting it.

I just don't know how much time we're going to have.

People seem to be loving that little caption

you wrote in the car.

That is a caption, not a real poem.

I just need the time to write something that I really like.

And you can do that without spending

50 years on one stanza.

Ha, ha.

You got to learn to trust yourself a little more, Annika.

Learn to live in the moment.

I will live in the moment once I've accomplished something.

I mean, look at my parents.

They worked really hard.

And now they are in their 60s, carefree, traveling all

throughout Europe.

Unless you're my dad and you don't make it to 60.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Look, you know I love your parents, right?

But they've been planning this trip to Europe for what,

like 30 years?

And they're only doing it now.

Well, they were waiting for the perfect moment.

If I learned anything from my dad,

it's that you can't wait for the perfect moment.

You can only do your best to make the moment perfect.

[message chime]

Rory wants more updates?

Didn't you just send him one?

Yeah.

There must have been bad service in the car.

I'll send it later.

This trip will be fun.

Hey. - What?

What is this?

My luggage.

Will you be moving in with Ruth?

Ryan, what hotel did you book?

Oh, I didn't.

What do you mean?

I just figured we'd book a place when we get there.

What?

No, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Every hotel is going to be booked!

Grandpa, Ellie, can you search for something?

Annika, it'll be fine.

This place isn't exactly Palm Springs.

I'm not actually seeing anything.

The Barclay is booked.

The Laurier Suites are booked.

Oh.

Those are probably the nice places.

And that's a problem because?

Why don't we camp out?

We don't have a tent!

Sure you didn't pack one in one of those mini suitcases you

brought?

I'd like to be in a bed, if it's all right with everyone

else.

Of course, Gramps.

Yes, we will find something.

Aha, I found one!

What is it?

The Troubadour Inn, Woodland Oaks' oldest hotel.

It's great!

Historical and charming.

That's how Annika describes me to her friends.

Good one, Abe.

I'm booking it!

We get a little walk down history lane.

ANNIKA: The Troubadour Inn, voted best

coffee and friendliest ghosts.

Ghosts?

No!

No, no, no, no.

Absolutely not.

I am not doing this.

Come on, they're friendly.

This is exactly like Golden Glass House.

It's just a few nights, Annika.

Could be great for the book.

Fine.

But if anything starts levitating, I'm out.

Except for your luggage, of course.

That would be extremely helpful.

[grunts]

ANNIKA: I can't believe you didn't book a hotel.

That is so like you.

What's the big deal?

We figured it out.

Because it almost threw off the plan

for the entire weekend.

Annika, it would have been fine.

My SUV is very spacious.

I'm kidding.

Did I leave my lights on?

I think the ghosts are in my room.

There are sounds coming from right next to my bed.

What kind of sounds?

Loud, banging sounds.

I'm sure they're just being friendly, but it's there.

Right there.

It's just the furnace, El.

Furnace?

Yeah, sometimes old furnaces make a lot of noise

when you turn them on.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, that's OK, Ellie.

How would you have known?

Why don't we all go relax in the common room

for a little bit?

Boo!

[screaming]

Grandpa, are you kidding me?

I'm sorry.

Sometimes you have to take advantage

of the perfect opportunity.

Good one, Abe.

ABE: I love it.

[laughs]

[sighs] You scared me.

[phone ringing]

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry for the radio silence.

What's going on?

Did we get the extension or not?

Well, I still haven't gotten a hold of Anita,

but I'm sure it's doable.

You sure?

Yeah.

I mean, she really likes your stuff, so I don't see why not.

OK.

Just let me know when you know.

On it.

Just make sure you send Rory at least something while we wait?

Yeah.

Of course.

Definitely.

OK.

Bye.

So this morning, let's hit the county clerk's office,

see if we can find anything.

And then, take it from there.

Yes.

And let's copy the files and bring them to the diner.

Abe keeps talking about it.

It seems wicked cool.

It is wicked cool.

Oh!

Now that we have the Ruth files, why don't we grab a booth

and get to work.

Wow, is that a real jukebox?

ABE: Hasn't changed a bit!

I don't know any of these songs.

This was our favorite.

[BILLY WATKINS, "YOU'RE UNFORGETTABLE

(AFTER YOU'VE BEEN KISSED)"]

Hmm.

Is it also my favorite?

We have to get to work.

One second.

I'm getting my groove on.

Come on, Anni, show us your moves.

Don't tell me you've forgotten how to dance.

Ha.

(SINGING) You are the one girl in this world who made

me shed so many tears.

You're unforgettable.

Hmm.

Seems like she had a property with a Sean Martin

up until about 10 years ago when she sold it.

Yeah.

Sean was her husband.

So she moved 10 years ago.

Looks like she was never arrested.

That's promising.

Oh!

According to the public record, she opened an LLC.

What's an LLC?

Basically means that she started her own company.

So she's either self-employed or an entrepreneur.

The LLC is called GGH Inc.

When did she open it?

ANNIKA: 2010.

Does any of this ring a bell for you, Grandpa?

GGH?

Can't say it does.

Well maybe we could check out some

of the local businesses in town, see

if GGH works with any of those.

Ellie, hit up some searches on my tablet.

Sure thing.

There are a few GGH businesses nearby.

The ones in Woodland Oaks are Gardener Gymnasium and Health

and Gilly's Garage House.

Neither of those sound particularly promising.

Let's just check it out.

Meanwhile, we can interview the people who work there.

Sure, but we are running out of time to find Ruth.

Anni, calm down.

Rory hasn't said anything yet, yeah?

So he's obviously liking what you're sending him.

And people are loving the search for her

on the Capturing Romance page, so there's no way

Rory can contest with that.

All right, but we're going to need a plan.

Why don't we split up?

Can Abe and I go together?

Of course.

Why don't you two check out the garage and Ryan

and I will head to the gym?

Hello?

Anybody here?

Well, maybe we should just head back to the inn?

No, they're probably just at lunch or something.

Let's wait it out.

OK.

I'm just going to hang back here and work.

Oh, Annika, you can't use every second you have to work.

You got your extension.

You have plenty of time.

Ryan, I have something I need to tell you.

You're dying to play me in a game of pickup?

Not exactly.

Too scared!

You know, I don't blame you.

Hmm.

Ha!

I haven't seen that face in a while.

I am going to destroy you.

OK.

Let's see what you got!

No, no, no, no, no!

No.

Still patiently waiting to be destroyed.

All right.

RYAN: Let's go.

Oh.

Oh!

Destroyed.

OK, now we're getting started.

Uh-huh.

Here we go.

Are you ready for it?

ANNIKA: Oh, yeah.

Here comes your--

oh!

Oh, stolen it!

Hey, traveling now!

This is just football now.

[happy squealing]

Excuse me!

Hi.

We're closed for maintenance.

Oh, so sorry about that.

We were actually just looking for you,

wondering if you could help us with something.

Yeah.

Does the name Ruth Barlow ring a bell?

It doesn't.

So she definitely does not own this place.

No.

That would be me.

Oh.

In that case, we are so sorry for trespassing.

Wait, you own this place?

No way!

That's cool.

Thank you.

Do you mind if we ask you some questions about it?

About yourself in general.

We're actually in town writing a book.

Part of the project is a series of interviews,

and we're asking people about their experiences

of falling in love.

You want to interview me about falling in love?

Yeah!

If it's OK.

Sure.

It's a long story, but worth the ride, though.

Exactly what we're looking for.

There we go and perfect.

Thanks so much for helping us out.

Thank you.

And feel free to follow us on our Capturing Romance page.

That's where we'll be posting your teaser.

And I'm sure people are going to love this.

You have such a beautiful story.

Thank you both.

I can't wait to read the book.

Great!

See you.

[message chime]

Who is that?

Just Rory checking in.

What did he say?

What, he wants more updates?

Yeah.

He's a control freak.

Yep.

It takes one to know one.

I feel like I recognize this place.

You ever bring your car here?

I don't think so.

[door slams]

Oh!

Sorry, did I scare you?

We've been staying at the Troubadour.

She's a little bit on edge.

Well, they got great coffee there, though.

Can I help you with something?

You sure can.

Is that a '59?

Oh, you got a good eye.

Got a leaky engine, though.

Hopefully not for long.

You-- you trying to bring a car into the shop?

No, actually.

We're here on some other business.

This shop wasn't ever run by a Ruth Barlow, was it?

Ruth Barlow.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while.

But you have heard it?

Well, she doesn't run this garage,

but my brother was good buddies with her.

Gillian?

Abe West.

Abe West!

You got to be kidding!

Oh, no one's called me Gillian in nearly 50 years.

I don't believe it.

You two know each other?

Oh, Gillian was my good friend's

younger brother, Ellie.

He was younger than you when he started fixing cars.

It's true.

I assume you're the granddaughter?

More like a business partner.

It's a long story.

Ellie and I are on a bit of a mission to find Ruth.

You haven't stayed in touch, by chance, have you?

I haven't, sorry.

But I do know that she sold her place a while back.

I don't think she's lived here for years.

Well, how are you friend?

I want the long story.

I got time.

You want to explain it or should I?

I think you should.

Why don't you come on back?

I got some good coffee back here.

And then Gilly told all these old stories about how

cool Abe was in high school.

He told one story about how I asked Ruth to prom

by rewriting the words to a famous song

and serenading her in the diner.

[chuckles]

You did that?

Yeah.

And my buddies on the track team joined

in with backup vocals, one of whom was Gilly's brother.

How'd it go?

Let's just say 60 years later, people

are still talking about it.

Still no intel on Ruth?

None.

All right, everyone.

New plan.

Ellie, how do you feel about putting

in one more night of research just to see

if you can find anything?

Definitely.

Ryan, start the car.

You and I are going to hit the diner

for one more night of work.

Got it.

Grandpa--

Now, it's OK if we don't find her, you know?

I know that, but I just want to--

No, no.

It's OK.

It's OK for me.

It's OK for the book.

It'll all be OK.

Diner.

Oh, what's going on in here?

Oh, it's Diner Date Night, first Saturday of every month.

Huh.

I don't think we can work in here.

Why not?

I think it's a great vibe.

Ryan.

Annika, you have to calm down and learn to enjoy things

a little.

Yeah, that's easy for you to say.

You're just taking the pictures.

You're getting the extension.

You have the time.

Let's just get to work.

In a second.

What's this for?

Dancing.

It'll still be there when we're done.

['50's ballad playing]

I know you were set on publishing your other book.

It's OK that this one's a little different to what you pictured.

I really think if you're open to it, it could surprise you.

I just want to love what I make.

Maybe you'd love it if you expanded your vision.

People love the captions you've been writing.

That's not real poetry, though.

Why?

Because it's a little shorter and you didn't spend a month

editing it?

You have to get this narrow constitution of what's

good out of your head, Anni.

Sometimes what you're looking for is right in front of you.

I'm really sorry about what happened between us.

That's OK.

It was so long ago.

It's not that I didn't want to marry you.

It's just-- you kind of scared me.

Why?

Because we were 22.

I had just convinced my very responsible parents to let

me get a degree in poetry.

And what, I was supposed to tell them that my boyfriend proposed

to me and we were going to live like traveling

nomads on his motorbike?

Before I met you, I had my life planned out.

And you just made things so--

Messy.

Yeah.

I'm different now, too, you know.

I have my life together.

I have an apartment.

I have a car.

Yeah, with fuzzy dice in the rear view mirror.

You love my fuzzy dice.

And if this book comes out, maybe I'll have a real career.

And I just want it to come out because I whatever you make,

it's going to be great.

Thank you.

I mean it.

[phone rings]

Who is it?

My manager.

Be right back.

Hello?

Hi.

What's going on?

TIA (ON PHONE): I have some bad news.

- Oh, no. - Yeah.

Anita didn't realize that we had gone around Rory on this

and she didn't love it.

She's totally booked with this London thing

and he's her second in command, so an extension is

really going to be up to him.

When can you talk with him?

Tomorrow, probably.

OK.

And you still think we can get it?

I honestly have no idea, but I'm going to do my best.

Thank you.

Keep me posted?

Will do.

Let's get to work.

You OK?

Yeah.

We just have to get this done.

You're up early.

I could say the same for you.

I woke up to finish my book.

It was so good, I want to get another one.

Want to walk to the bookstore?

Bet you could do your work there.

I would love to, El, but I'm going to stay here.

I'm sure Ryan or Abe could take you.

OK.

[sighs]

Are you doing all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just-- honestly, I think I may have dug myself into a mess.

Why?

It's complicated.

Well, whatever it is, you'll resolve it.

That's what I love about mysteries.

The characters always have to work through their challenges

up until the end.

They can't give up on each other.

I like that.

Me too.

All right, I'll see you later.

See you.

This is the one.

Can I get it?

Sure you don't want historical non-fiction?

Dystopian sci-fi?

Self-help?

I'm sure.

OK.

[phone ringing]

Hold on, Ellie.

I just got to take this.

Hello.

Ryan, it's Rory.

What's going on?

Rory, hi.

What do you mean?

What's the deal with you wanting an extension?

Oh, Annika requested one in order for her

to write the book.

I'm assuming you've talked to her about that?

No, actually.

I just got out of a meeting with her manager.

This is the first time I'm hearing about it.

I'm so sorry.

Is it-- I mean, we can still get one right?

I don't just give out extensions, Ryan.

I explicitly stated the due dates.

And I have not received a single update from Annika.

That can't be possible.

Well, my inbox is completely empty, so--

Rory, I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

RORY (ON PHONE): How are things going with Ruth?

Did you find her?

We've got some really good leads, yeah, but no.

We haven't found her yet.

I'm sorry, Ryan, but I'm pulling

the plug on this project. - What?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Rory, just--

RORY (ON PHONE): Look, I'm glad that the social media

page is doing great.

But I have no idea what this book is going to look like.

Look, I'm really sorry to have to do this to you,

but it's way too risky. I'm out.

Rory, please--

Hey, how about you talk to Annika before you

try to get me to reconsider?

Do you think I can get this one?

Oh, hey.

Abe, would you mind getting that for Ellie?

I'm just going to run back to the hotel.

Yeah, sure.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

[phone ringing]

Tia.

You hear from him?

He pulled the project, Annika.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

He didn't.

You haven't sent him a single update!

I know, but that's because I thought that you

could extend the deadline.

Annika, even if I can get an extension,

do you really expect Rory to invest in a book

he hasn't seen the content for?

But the Capturing Romance page, it's been doing so well.

Look, what if I promised to get him the pages by next week?

Tia, I'll call you back.

I can explain.

You didn't send him anything?

I know, I know, I know.

I was going to.

When?

After he pulled the project?

I'm sorry, Ryan.

I just wanted it to be good.

Annika, I'm on this project, too.

You can't just decide you have a vision for something

and then ignore how it's going to affect me.

This is so--

I should've known this was going to happen.

Why?

Because you've always done this.

You're so set in your ways.

You're so sure that your version is the right version,

and you can't possibly make room for anything else

that might actually be good!

It's exactly what happened in our relationship.

No, it isn't.

Getting married and traveling the world,

that wasn't your idea of successful

because it didn't match your plan.

You just can't handle the idea that

somebody might actually have long-term goals for themselves.

You're treating me like I'm the same kid when I was 22.

I have goals.

I have been trying to write a book my entire life.

This opportunity just happened for you.

Because I was open to it!

No, Ryan, you've spent your whole life letting

the wind blow you around.

And the fact that I have disciplined

standards for myself is incomprehensible to you.

It's not the discipline that bothers me, Annika.

It's the fact that your standards are hurting you!

ELLIE: Stop fighting!

Ellie!

Oh, no.

I have to go after her.

Let me go first.

[knocks]

Can I join you?

I like mystery books, too.

The detectives are working hard to solve the problem.

And in the end, everything gets tied into a neat little bow.

But real life doesn't always work like that.

I know you're upset about your parents separating.

But you know what?

I know it might not look like it,

but they're just trying to find a way

to love each other better.

And I know Annika and Ryan will work it out, too.

Can I tell you something?

When I was in the service, I met a lot of very brave people,

but I think you're one of the very bravest.

Everything OK in here?

Everything will be just fine.

Let's go home.

He's right you know.

What are you talking about?

Sweetheart, you tread so carefully

everywhere you go, but it holds you

back from giving people the thing they just want more of.

Oh, yeah?

And what's that?

You.

[door slams]

OK, El.

Time to hit the road.

ELLIE: You know what's weird?

This book mentions a Gilly's Garage.

That's so funny.

Wait, really?

Ellie, can I see that book for a second?

The Golden Glass House, GGH Inc.

By RSB.

RSB is--

Ruth Barlow!

Holy timoly!

Wait a second.

Grandpa, is this her?

Oh, that's her all right.

It's her!

We did it.

Sometimes what you're looking for is right in front of you.

Well, what do we do now?

Uh, I'm going to call my manager.

Hold on!

(WHISPERING) Can't believe we found her, really.

TIA (ON PHONE): Hey.

Tia!

Hi, listen.

I need you to get in touch with RSB's agent.

As in RSB, the author of that young adult mystery series?

We think that she's Ruth.

Wait, really?

Yeah!

And I also need you to relay this message.

Tell her that Abe West is in Woodland Oaks

and he wants to meet with her.

On it.

Best manager ever.

OK, I will call you back ASAP.

Great.

What did she say?

She's going to reach out and get back to us.

And in the meantime, we have a book to put together.

Rory pulled the book.

Hmm.

Oh, my dry cleaning is ready for pick up.

False alarm.

Oh.

Container Emporium is having a 50% off sale.

Oh, this is so stressful!

My stomach hurts.

I think I'm sweating a little.

It's OK, everyone.

Just relax.

[message chime]

It's Tia.

They found Ruth!

And she's going to be at the diner in 20 minutes!

20 minutes.

It's OK, Grandpa.

You've got this.

How do I look?

Happy.

Abe.

My god.

I can't believe we found you.

You've changed about as much as this diner.

You look exactly the same.

You know, I'd always loved mystery books, so I thought,

why don't I write them myself?

Little did I know they'd be a hit.

A major hit.

They're my favorite books.

Oh, that's so good to hear.

So Ruth, did you ever think of reaching out?

Well, you know, I wasn't sure I should.

I thought maybe you might not have forgiven me for marrying

somebody while you were away.

No, no, no.

I could never be upset with you for that.

It seems we both found wonderful partners in our lives.

That's something for which we can only be grateful.

RUTH: So true.

ABE: Remember how often we used to come here?

We barely went home.

We lived on a diet of French fries and milkshakes.

Give me two seconds.

Do you remember our favorite song?

Of course!

Oh.

[BILLY WATKINS, "YOU'RE UNFORGETTABLE

Oh, I haven't heard this one in years.

Ah.

(SINGING) I couldn't forget you if I lived a million years.

You are the one girl in this world--

We have to finish this book.

I know.

(SINGING) You're unforgettable.

Woo!

All right.

Ready, gang?

Let's go.

OK.

Gramps, Ryan and I will drop you off at yours,

and then we'll head to his place.

Got our work cut out for us.

Abe, you get Ruth's number?

Oh, yes.

We'll see each other again real soon.

Can I help in any way?

I don't think so, El.

Coffee?

Wait, you know how to make coffee?

Detectives make a lot of coffee.

Of course.

Shall we begin?

Let's do this.

[upbeat music]

[unintelligible conversation]

Wake up.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

[squeak]

Let's send these off and see what Rory says.

Yep.

Thank you.

For what?

Well, even if we don't publish a book,

I'm glad that we did it.

You know, I didn't think that I could be proud of this,

but I think that I am.

I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that.

Wow, did you guys stay up all night?

Unfortunately.

It's her.

Say hi to Ruth, Annika.

Oh!

Hi, Ruth.

Long time no see.

Hey, your grandpa and I were just

making plans to meet up again.

Oh.

Well, I hope to see you soon.

That's the idea.

Bye, dear.

I'll check in later.

[sighs] Oh.

Long night?

Longest in a while.

I'm really proud of you, sweetheart.

I know this isn't what you originally

wanted for your book, but in keeping yourself

open to this new version, I think you've created

something really wonderful.

Thanks, Grandpa.

And I'm not just talking about the book.

Grandpa.

I--

[message chime]

It's Rory.

I have to go into the office.

When?

Now, I think.

Yep!

Yep, now.

Right now.

OK.

I can do this.

I can do this.

Of course you can.

Go get a book published.

[music playing]

You got here fast.

Well, don't sound so surprised.

Ah, there they are!

The dream team, the dynamic duo.

So, I see you found Ruth.

Yes.

And I am so sorry for trying to go around

you to pursue this extension.

I just didn't think I could pull this off.

Frankly, neither did I. But it seems

that you guys had a lot of people love

the Capturing Romance teasers.

And honestly, you did a lot of the online marketing for us,

so technically you have another, I don't know,

five more days to edit.

Sorry, are you saying that we--

Let's make your book.

Huh?

I can't believe they're publishing our book.

I can't believe I'm going to have a book.

I can't believe you're going to have a book, either!

(TOGETHER) We're going to have a book!

[happy squeals]

I know this hasn't been easy for you.

I'm sorry.

I know I haven't made things easy for you.

No, I'm sorry.

You were right!

Sometimes in my life, I get so set on the way

that I want things to be and I get stuck.

And I realize that I miss out on some very valuable

opportunities because of that.

But I didn't this time because of you.

I just didn't want you to miss out on the chance

for something great.

I think I missed out on something great when I was 22.

Anni, it's OK.

I had a lot of growing up to do.

I mean, you really should book a hotel in advance.

OK, that turned out to be a great spot.

And this book, by the way, did turn out

to be a blessing in disguise.

And not because I got a book out of it, which, let me

say again, pretty cool.

Extremely cool.

But because I got a second chance with you.

What do you say?

Should we give this another shot?

I'd really like that.

- Would you? - Yeah.

- Really? - It'd be pretty good.

Oh, OK!

Welcome to the launch of Capturing Romance.

And thank you all so much for coming out today

to celebrate Capturing Romance, the first book

that we've published together.

RYAN: Yeah, the process to writing this book

was unexpected, to say the least.

But perhaps the most interesting thing

when interviewing a bunch of strangers about their love

stories was that everyone thought that their love

story was a good one.

That's because love, in itself, it a great story.

And lastly, thank you to my grandpa Abe and Ruth.

This project is as much yours as it is ours.

And thank you both for showing me

that if you keep an open heart, you might just

get a second chance at love.

Congratulations, you two.

This is a beautiful achievement.

Thanks, Grandpa.

I want to get a picture of you two.

OK.

Give her a kiss, Ryan.

Now I'm capturing romance.

[applause]

That was wonderful.
