00:00:00Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me take you back to where the story begins.
00:00:16I'm not one to just drop everything and go on a road trip. I have my career to focus
00:00:21on. Actually, what career? I'm still deciding which college to apply to and what if anything
00:00:28interests me as a career. I mean, how can you pick just one job, one pigeonhole job
00:00:34forever? Basically, I'm lost as to what to do and leaving those choices behind is what
00:00:39I need. Just like I need this open road and the warm summer breeze blowing through my
00:00:45hair and inviting itself into my car as a refreshing and invigorating guest. One more
00:00:51hour till I reach Westmont, listening to my favorite playlist to the place where my grandparents
00:00:56once lived. I love Westmont. I used to summer here as a kid, but sadly this time they're
00:01:02gone and their beautiful plantation home is to be given to me as my inheritance, but my
00:01:07uncle thinks he's legally entitled to it. Personally, I'm happy to share and move on,
00:01:12but he doesn't want half to share. He wants it all. I guess that old saying is true. You
00:01:18can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.
00:01:26Can I help you? Madison Garner for Ms. Kent.
00:01:56They're waiting for you in the boardroom.
00:02:05Great to see you, Madison.
00:02:09You have to understand, Maddy. This isn't about taking this away from you. This is about
00:02:16keeping what's rightfully mine. I hope you can understand. My parents' place cannot go
00:02:23to you. Uncle Fred, I prefer you call me Madison. I'm not five anymore. And I think
00:02:32changing the wishes of Grandma and Grandpa is disrespectful to them. And I'm sorry, I
00:02:39don't think I can understand your personal opinion. If we can share it. Now, now. We
00:02:46don't want any unnecessary drama over one plantation home. Madison, I need to legally
00:02:52inform you that it is in your best interest to accept the generous offer of 50,000 your
00:02:59uncle has extended to you in place of a very old home that's in need of money and repairs.
00:03:0650,000 will go very nicely towards college expenses, wouldn't it? $50,000 doesn't replace
00:03:15having the best summers of my life with two people who dearly loved me. I won't give my
00:03:22uncle the plantation home. I know he's going to tear it down, build condos and move on.
00:03:30We either share it or I keep it. Madison, you have no proof your uncle intends to tear
00:03:37it down. The only way for you to keep the place is for you to pay your uncle what he
00:03:42believes he's owed from his parents' home. Uncle Fred, I know we haven't been as close
00:03:51since my parents' divorce, but you know I can't pay you out. Therefore, I guess I'll
00:03:58see you in court. If this goes to court, Madison, you could lose everything. Consider the 50,000
00:04:06over the next few days. Before you leave, please collect a jar from reception. It was
00:04:13left for you in their will when you return to Westmont.
00:04:18Je vous envoie un e-mail tout de suite. Sorry, overseas office.
00:04:35I believe you have some kind of jar for me.
00:04:49Excuse me. Excuse me. This is my car.
00:04:58Are you aware you're parked illegally, miss?
00:05:01Oh, I'm sorry. I had to get to a legal meeting. My grandparents recently passed away. I guess
00:05:11I was just rushing and didn't notice.
00:05:14You wouldn't be blanching Howard's little Maddie.
00:05:17Uh, yeah.
00:05:19Well, consider this a warning. No ticket. Now, I remember you used to stay with them
00:05:27every summer with your grandparents. And boy, was Howard famous for his cook-offs. How long
00:05:33are you in town for?
00:05:35Honestly, I'm not sure. But if my uncle has his way, I won't be here longer than a few
00:05:40days.
00:05:41You don't mean that narcissistic Fred Garner.
00:05:44Sadly, I do.
00:05:46Well, if you need anything, come by my office. Your grandparents are really loved in this
00:05:53town, and they're a big part of what made Westmont the town it is today. Anything but
00:05:58blanching Howard's little Maddie.
00:06:00I appreciate that.
00:06:02Oh, when you go to the general store, because you're gonna need supplies, let them know
00:06:07Sheriff Morris sent you, and they'll look after you. Have a nice day.
00:06:16Bye.
00:06:39Hey, Mom.
00:06:40Hey, darling. Did your father make it to the meeting?
00:06:43No. He was a no-show, as always.
00:06:47I thought it was a long shot. We haven't seen him in years. What happened?
00:06:51Uncle Fred is basically wanting to take the home from me, and I'm standing here now just
00:06:57looking at it, and it's just as grand and beautiful as when we came here every summer
00:07:02as a family.
00:07:03Well, don't give up hope, Madison. Your grandparents dearly loved you. I'll try and get there
00:07:08in a few days.
00:07:10If I'm still here, Uncle Fred will be bulldozing this in a week if he has his way. But he did
00:07:16offer me $50,000 for it.
00:07:18$50,000? That's not even a quarter of what that land's worth. But if you want to use
00:07:23it for college, I support your decision either way.
00:07:26You agreed we wouldn't talk about college.
00:07:28Okay, Madison, we did. Call me if you need anything. Love you.
00:07:41Hey, Royce.
00:07:47What can I get you, Sheriff?
00:07:49Just the usual.
00:07:53Well, if it isn't Fred Garner.
00:07:59Hey, Mr. Morris.
00:08:01That's Sheriff Morris now, Fred. It's good to see the family having a hearty meal before
00:08:07heading back to the city.
00:08:09Don't worry. You'll be seeing more of us. I have plans for my family in this town.
00:08:16Is your brother Jonathan with you?
00:08:22My brother and I haven't spoken in years.
00:08:27Here you go, Sheriff.
00:08:33You have a safe trip back to the city.
00:08:40To our dearest Madison, this letter is for you to say we couldn't be more happy knowing
00:08:46that you are now living in our home that brought us much fulfillment.
00:08:50There was once a specific year of our lives together that we decided to start a happiness
00:08:56jar. What this is, you may ask. Simply, Madison, is that each day we wrote a small note of
00:09:02what we were happy about.
00:09:04It's quite funny, really. Some days your grandfather was just happy for my baked cookies.
00:09:09And other days we wrote more sentimental.
00:09:12We hope this jar and its collection of moments takes you on your own journey as an adult
00:09:17through Westmont. Dive into the jar, Madison, and find your happiness as we did.
00:09:22Love always, Grandma and Grandpa.
00:09:35August 22nd. Happy to watch the sunset on our porch.
00:09:49Happy for our dear friend Tom Morris becoming Sheriff.
00:09:55February 14th. Happy to spend another Valentine's with my love at Alpine Lake.
00:10:05How romantic that they loved each other all those years.
00:10:10Hey! Watch it!
00:10:13Oh, sorry. Normally there's no one here.
00:10:19I'm Axel.
00:10:21Madison.
00:10:22I haven't seen you here before.
00:10:26I'm Axel.
00:10:28I'm Madison.
00:10:29I haven't seen you here before.
00:10:36I haven't been here in years. I'm just staying at my grandparents' house.
00:10:41Ah, you're a city chick.
00:10:44So what if I am? What's that supposed to mean?
00:10:47Nothing really. It just seems when you city girls come here, you complain about everything.
00:10:52I'm not complaining. You practically drenched me.
00:10:56A couple of sprinkles of water isn't drenching.
00:11:02See you around, city chick.
00:11:12Hey! Welcome to Westmont. I'm Kenna.
00:11:16My family owns the general store that delivered that food.
00:11:20And I thought you might like some discount coupons.
00:11:23I appreciate that, Kenna. Stocking up an empty house is more expensive than I thought.
00:11:29Oh, and I'm Madison.
00:11:32Sheriff Morris came by to tell us to help you out.
00:11:35Everyone's been so kind. I guess it's Westmont's small town charm.
00:11:40So, what are your plans for today?
00:11:45I'm thinking of exploring Beechwood Farms.
00:11:48Oh, I love going there. Make sure you pick some berries.
00:11:52Hey, seeing as you're my new neighbor, we're doing a cookout tonight. You should come.
00:11:57Oh, yeah. I'd love to.
00:11:59Great. See you around 8?
00:12:01I'll be there.
00:12:18Come on, brother. See if you can beat that.
00:12:40It's not really my sport.
00:12:43But the question today, Nathan, is...
00:12:47Why did you pressure me to come?
00:12:50What's your motive?
00:12:53Parson, I'm insulted by your suspicion in me.
00:12:57Can't two brothers just play around a golf?
00:13:00We're not your typical family. And we're not that close.
00:13:05Okay, Parson, enough.
00:13:07Truth is, Dad's not impressed with you.
00:13:11Is he ever going to be? I do everything he wants. Now what's he worried about?
00:13:18The going out with girls who will only want your money. The parties.
00:13:23You're dragging the Yates name into the mud. And it's time you take on what's expected of you.
00:13:29I need those parties. It's a distraction from my bullied life as a Yates.
00:13:40Why do you always do what he says?
00:13:43You're so into being his favorite, it's hard to know where he ends and you begin.
00:13:48Oh yeah, brother. Your life is hard.
00:13:52Try being the firstborn son and having all the pressures that I have.
00:13:59I do what I do for the family.
00:14:03And it's high time you started thinking about that.
00:14:06Parson, you have a privileged life.
00:14:11Now start acting like a Yates and not a spoiled jerk.
00:14:18The family needs your loyalty.
00:14:22The only thing our family needs is for me to act as I'm told.
00:14:30To give our father, the town's precious mayor, his reputation of squeaky clean for the voters.
00:14:43Do you have any goals?
00:14:45Of course I do.
00:14:47Good. So stop putting me between you and dad and start doing as you're told.
00:14:59Okay.
00:15:17Thanks very much. Do come again.
00:15:25We seem to keep bumping into each other.
00:15:27At my expense.
00:15:29I'd like to stand up now.
00:15:32Oh yeah, of course.
00:15:38Sorry you spilled all your berries.
00:15:41But I know the owner and I think I can replace those for you on the house.
00:15:46Follow me.
00:15:49Is there anything else I can help you with?
00:15:52Actually, I noticed I need someone to mow the lawns around the lake.
00:15:55Is there a service in town for that?
00:15:57Looking at it.
00:15:59So you just happen to swim in lakes, know the owner of this farm and run your own lawn mowing service.
00:16:05And don't forget local hero, saving damsels in distress.
00:16:15Axel, where have you been?
00:16:20There's deliveries?
00:16:23Sure, sis.
00:16:24By the way, Paige, this is Madison.
00:16:28Nice to meet you. I'm Madison Garner.
00:16:31Your grandmother made the most tastiest berry pies.
00:16:35Everyone here misses her.
00:16:37You staying here in town?
00:16:39Nice to meet you, Madison. Don't be a stranger.
00:16:43Axel, those deliveries aren't going to deliver themselves.
00:16:50You didn't tell me your grandparents were the Garners.
00:16:52I already mow their lawns.
00:16:54I'm learning that everyone really loved them in this town.
00:16:58And I think I missed out on coming back here for summer after my parents' divorce.
00:17:06I better let you get to those deliveries.
00:17:09And tell your sister thanks for these.
00:17:13Well, see ya.
00:17:22See ya.
00:17:47Hey.
00:17:50Axel.
00:17:51Parson. I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine.
00:17:54Madison, who lives just across the lake at the Garners' home.
00:17:57Nice to meet you, Madison Garner. I'm Parson Yates.
00:18:01Madison and I have actually already met.
00:18:04I practically saved her life.
00:18:07Something tells me you're probably exaggerating, Axel.
00:18:11Isn't he?
00:18:13Well, I wouldn't call him Superman, but he definitely loves my hair today.
00:18:22Hey, guys.
00:18:24Hey, Royce.
00:18:26I brought some food from the diner. Can you help me unload?
00:18:28Sure.
00:18:32Nice bull canner. You guys can use it anytime.
00:18:36I might take you up on that.
00:18:41So, how long do you plan on staying in town?
00:18:45I'm not sure.
00:18:47Haven't made any concrete plans.
00:18:48Depends on my college choices, I guess.
00:18:51It's great you have a choice.
00:18:54Mine's been mapped out since the day I was born.
00:18:58At least stay for the remaining of summer.
00:19:04So.
00:19:06Have you been out on the lake yet?
00:19:08No. I used to go out all the time with my grandparents.
00:19:14I'd like to take you out sometime in my boat.
00:19:16Sounds like a plan, Parson.
00:19:20Dinner's ready, guys.
00:19:22I'm starved.
00:19:24And hey, Parson.
00:19:26Maybe Axel and Kenna can join us when we go out on the boat?
00:19:30There's only room for two.
00:19:32But maybe we can plan another group activity.
00:19:43Parson.
00:19:45Parson. I know that move.
00:19:48The whole date on the rowboat and lake.
00:19:51She's here for closure from her grandparents, not to get caught up in your games.
00:19:55Easy, farm boy.
00:19:58It's going to be different with her.
00:20:01People can change, Axel.
00:20:04Anyway, what's it to you?
00:20:09Nothing.
00:20:11Just saying.
00:20:15Come on, guys. Hurry up.
00:20:19Don't worry.
00:20:22I'm not going to hurt her.
00:20:45Hmm. Maybe one before bed.
00:20:52August 28th. Donate a town gazebo to Maple Lane Park.
00:21:15August 28th. Donate a town gazebo to Maple Lane Park.

00:21:42August 28th. Donate a town gazebo to Maple Lane Park.
00:22:05Has that sparked your interest, young lady?
00:22:08I used to like photography when I was younger.
00:22:11I've never used a camera like this before.
00:22:17Everything's digital these days.
00:22:19And Photoshop, however this style of photography,
00:22:22picks up in that one second what the photographer actually sees.
00:22:28Shooting on film is my favorite.
00:22:31How do you develop the film?
00:22:33Don't worry about that.
00:22:35Let's make a deal.
00:22:37You take the photos, and I'll develop them for you, with my equipment.
00:22:40That sounds fair enough.
00:22:43How much for these?
00:22:46For you, $20.
00:22:56Thanks.
00:23:04I'm Ian Sullivan, and I hope to see your photos soon.
00:23:07Nice to meet you, Mr. Sullivan. I'm Madison.

00:24:18SULLIVAN
00:24:31Hey! What are you up to today?
00:24:38Actually, no strict plans. That's what I'm loving.
00:24:42But I did find this really cool camera at Mr. Sullivan's yard sale.
00:24:46Oh, Mr. Sullivan! You know, he's got such a prize-winning career for his freelance photography.
00:24:53Do you need a model?
00:24:58So, when can I take you out on the lake?
00:25:03You gave me your number. I'll give you a call.
00:25:06Oh, you torture me! Will she ring? Won't she ring? When will she ring?
00:25:14Don't be so dramatic. I'm going to call you.
00:25:18Parting is such sweet sorrow.
00:25:22And Shakespeare, he quotes.
00:25:28It's really hot out here. Why don't you come inside for a cold drink?
00:25:55Sure. Sounds great.
00:26:15So, how much do I owe you for the lawns?
00:26:20No charge. Your grandparents always paid me a season in advance.
00:26:24They were good like that. Do you miss them?
00:26:29Every day. Every day.
00:26:35I regret not coming to see them after my parents' divorce.
00:26:40I'm sure they understood.
00:26:43One of my fondest memories is with your grandpa and the first time I stayed here for the weekend.
00:26:48My parents had to go into the city with produce deliveries and had no one to babysit.
00:26:55Between your gran's cooking and going fishing with your grandfather, I didn't want to leave.
00:27:01And, you know, I don't think I've ever met two people more in love.
00:27:07That sounds like my grandparents. I can't believe you actually stayed here.
00:27:14Aren't your parents just as in love?
00:27:17Yeah. I mean, they're in love, but not like your grandparents.
00:27:24They were soulmates.
00:27:27Yeah. I really miss them.
00:27:33I see so much of them in you.
00:27:36If you need anything, I'm here for you.
00:27:42Hey, the door was open.
00:27:45Can you believe my parents sent me over with more food?
00:27:50Hey, Kenner. Smells great.
00:27:54I gotta get back to the lawns.
00:28:00Tell me if I'm wrong, but did I walk in on something between you and Axel?
00:28:08I don't know. Maybe.
00:28:16So, has anything ever, like, happened between you and either of them?
00:28:21Like, romantically? No. We're more like friends.
00:28:29Plus, this is the first time in a couple years I've been single.
00:28:35I was in a relationship, but things kinda ended when we both wanted different things after high school.
00:28:46She left.
00:28:49Do you miss her?
00:28:52I used to, but I want to stay here.
00:28:57And she had dreams of moving away to college.
00:29:04So, what's going on between you and Madison? Anything I should know?
00:29:26Nothing. I don't know what you're implying, Paige.
00:29:29Axel, I know you like her. I was only asking if you want the night off to take her out.
00:29:36Maybe. I don't know.
00:29:39Have I ever told you about the first time I met Jonathan?
00:29:42It was at the Harvest Celebrations, and he was the cutest guy there.
00:29:47Every girl wanted to dance with him.
00:29:50What I'm saying is, if I didn't take the chance that night to ask him out,
00:29:56we may never have met, as he was only in town for the Harvest Celebrations.
00:30:03I know, sis. I get it.
00:30:06All I'm saying is, don't take too long deciding. Can't hurt to ask.
00:30:20I thought you'd forgotten.
00:30:22I got caught up in town taking photos.
00:30:25It seems these days I always see you with a camera.
00:30:29It's becoming an obsession.
00:30:35You shouldn't have. I'll just put these in some water and we can go.
00:30:46It seems, Fred, all you garners are stubborn.
00:30:50Denise has turned down your monetary offer, and within the week we'll be in court.
00:30:56I told you to solve this.
00:31:00If any of these two-bit country folk tell her that the home could be heritage listed, I'll lose everything.
00:31:08Offer her $80,000, and don't waste my time on a court case.
00:31:13Don't you think offering her more money makes it look like you've got something to hide?
00:31:18My counsel to you is to lay low and go to court. She may not even know anything else.
00:31:25I pay you to do what I say. It's that simple.
00:31:31If you can't do it, I'll get another lawyer.
00:31:37I understand. I'll personally pay Miss Garner a visit and tell her about your generous offer.
00:31:48Daisy's blooming.
00:31:55Sundress swaying in the breeze.
00:31:59I can't stop staring.
00:32:03You've put a spell on me.
00:32:07This is a great idea. You really get to feel the coolness of the water.
00:32:11You never decide to set me free.
00:32:15I normally take my boat onto the other lakes here. It's a great way to escape.
00:32:29I can't imagine you have much to escape from.
00:32:33It's strange. People think when you have a dad who's rich and powerful that my life is easy.
00:32:41I don't have to worry about the same things they do, but it also comes with its set of demands.
00:32:47Like what?
00:32:50Measuring up to the family name.
00:32:55My dad sees me as a disappointment.
00:32:59I feel it. Every day.
00:33:04Why don't you just leave?
00:33:07Because I want to prove to him that I'm capable.
00:33:12I don't have to be as mean as him to be powerful.
00:33:17I'd like to be mayor of this town.
00:33:20I was just telling Kenneth how this place makes you want to stay, and I think you'd make a great mayor.
00:33:29Come on.
00:33:33How'd you know I love picnics?
00:33:38I'm pleased you like it, Madison.
00:33:48Dare I ask what your plans are?
00:33:51Oh my gosh.
00:33:54Dare I ask what your plans are?
00:33:57Oh my gosh. This question just looms around me.
00:34:02I actually like it here, but I still want to go and study in the city somewhere.
00:34:10Sounds like a great plan.
00:34:14But I'd rather convince you to stay.
00:34:17Why's that?
00:34:20Because I'm not ready to give up on knowing what we could be.
00:34:25That's so sweet, Parson.
00:34:29Honestly, I haven't made any decisions.
00:34:34Sounds promising, then.
00:34:37We may yet be able to create our own great romance.
00:34:42Right here in Westmont.
00:34:51Oh my gosh, I thought I was going to fall out of the boat when you wanted me to jump out.
00:34:56Thanks for helping me get my sea legs.
00:34:59You're a natural.
00:35:03Hey.
00:35:06I had a really great time today.
00:35:11I'm sorry.
00:35:14I had a really great time today.
00:35:30Madison. I'm glad I found you.
00:35:34Since when do attorneys make house calls when you're not on my retainer?
00:35:37It's a private matter. Would you excuse us, Parson, please?
00:35:40If anything you have to say, you can say it in front of Parson.
00:35:44What's my uncle wanting now?
00:35:47Actually, Madison, he's extending you a rather generous offer.
00:35:51He's willing to overlook the fact you turned down his original offer,
00:35:55and would like to give you, as you're his family,
00:35:59$80,000 to walk away from the Garner house
00:36:03and save yourself from losing everything in court next week.
00:36:07No. I can't believe he thinks he can buy me off.
00:36:11My grandparents died wanting me to have this home.
00:36:15If he's not willing to share it as a family, I don't want his money.
00:36:19In fact, I don't want anything to do with him.
00:36:22I understand you have personal feelings,
00:36:25but you need to consider the fact you could lose everything, Miss Garner.
00:36:28Where was my uncle when my parents divorced?
00:36:31I didn't see him that worried about me.
00:36:34I'll take my chances and respect my grandparents' wishes
00:36:38that this home is mine.
00:36:41Madison, you're being very immature right now.
00:36:45And I think...
00:36:47And I think you should leave,
00:36:50as she has no legal representation and you're bordering on badgering.
00:36:54She's given you her answer, and she'll see you in court.
00:37:05Thanks for that.
00:37:08See, you'd make a great mayor of Westlawn.
00:37:11You're already defending citizens of this town.
00:37:15Seriously, Madison,
00:37:18I need to tell you something.
00:37:21I heard my father talking about your uncle
00:37:24wanting to knock this down, build condos on this land.
00:37:28That's why he's trying to take it off you.
00:37:31I knew it.
00:37:34I knew he had no sentimental value to this place,
00:37:37but honestly, I don't know what to do.
00:37:41I really love this place.
00:37:44I don't want to lose it.
00:37:47I'll see what I can do.
00:37:50If I can get you some information you can use in the court
00:37:53showing that your uncle has no sentimental attachment,
00:37:56do you promise you won't divulge who gave you the information?
00:37:59Of course, I promise.
00:38:02But can it still be tracked back to you?
00:38:05No. It can come back to town planning and the mayor,
00:38:08but not necessarily me.
00:38:11Don't worry. I'll get you some proof.
00:38:22This jar sounds like a great distraction
00:38:25to everything that's going on with the court case.
00:38:29What does that one say?
00:38:32October 3rd. A lovely editorial in the Westmont Tribune
00:38:35about our ongoing support in our community.
00:38:38This sounds like a great place for some photos.
00:38:41I actually rode past it the other day.
00:38:44With the court case around the corner,
00:38:47I just want you to know not to be disappointed, whatever the outcome.
00:38:51I don't think I have to worry about that anymore.
00:38:54I'm getting my hands on some information about Uncle Fred
00:38:57that I need to tear down for condos.
00:39:00We should talk more about this.
00:39:03Not now, Mom.
00:39:06Do you want to join me on a bike ride to the Tribune?
00:39:09I've got other college applications for you to fill in.
00:39:12Maybe we should do that first.
00:39:15I just don't want you to pin all your hopes on this place and not...
00:39:18focus on your future.
00:39:28What brings you to Luke's Diner today?
00:39:31I could ask you the same thing.
00:39:34Fair.
00:39:37I've actually been writing editorial and small news stories for a year.
00:39:40It's what I like to do.
00:39:43My editor is trying to find me part-time work
00:39:46near a few colleges I've applied to.
00:39:49Sounds great.
00:39:52Do you want to join me on a bike ride to the Tribune?
00:39:56Do you want to join me?
00:39:59I have to do a story on the animal adoption drive.
00:40:02Oh, yeah, I'd love to.
00:40:08Hey, Parson.
00:40:11Hey, Madison.
00:40:14I wanted to say I had a really nice time today and...
00:40:17Me too. Hey, can I call you back? I'm kind of busy.
00:40:20Um, sure. It's nothing urgent.
00:40:24Only...
00:40:27that I'm falling for you.
00:40:32This place is pretty fancy, Axel.
00:40:35By the way, are you a fan of chili fries?
00:40:38I'm a fan of any fries.
00:40:41And other cuisines.
00:40:44This place serves the tastiest lobster you've ever had.
00:40:47Do you two know what you'd like to order?
00:40:50Chili fries.
00:40:53Sorry, we don't serve that.
00:40:56Yes, of course.
00:40:59Can you give us a minute?
00:41:02We could have went back to Luke's.
00:41:05Madison, yes, we could have,
00:41:08but this is one of my other favorite places.
00:41:11Anyway, I've noticed you've been carrying a camera around with you a lot.
00:41:14Is photography something that you like?
00:41:17I've been exploring it with a couple of cameras
00:41:20from Mr. Sullivan's yard sale,
00:41:23but honestly, I think it might be something
00:41:26I want to pursue further.
00:41:29I haven't told anyone that.
00:41:32Not even my mom.
00:41:35She's really on my case about college applications.
00:41:38Well, there's plenty of places you can study photography.
00:41:41Yeah, true, but...
00:41:44I don't think she'll think it's a real career.
00:41:47She's a realtor with a business degree.
00:41:50She thinks that is the way to go.
00:41:53Yeah, most parents think that going to college
00:41:56and getting a degree solves everything.
00:41:59Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
00:42:02But you need to do something that you're passionate about.
00:42:05Otherwise, you'll never stick at it or be great at it.
00:42:09You know, that's totally what I think,
00:42:12but I don't even know if I'm any good at it.
00:42:16I think you'd be a natural.
00:42:19What kind of things do you like capturing?
00:42:22I'm leaning more towards photos of people,
00:42:25like candid shots of whatever they're feeling in that moment.
00:42:29There's something truly beautiful
00:42:32about capturing one's raw emotion.
00:42:35Like capturing a story to be told.
00:42:38Exactly, like you do with words,
00:42:41I want to do with photography.
00:42:44Actually, saying it aloud to you
00:42:47makes it seem possible.
00:42:50You can always tell me anything.
00:42:59It's amazing how many more stars you see out here
00:43:02than in the city.
00:43:05It's so breathtaking.
00:43:08Yeah, never gets old.
00:43:15How about that swim?
00:43:18Kenna's out, we got the pool to ourselves.
00:43:22Everyone in town's talking about the court case with your property.
00:43:25Yeah, my uncle's trying to hide the fact that he wants to build condos.
00:43:28That's why he's trying to get this land.
00:43:31He can't build condos here even if he owned this property.
00:43:34Actually, nobody can build anything like that on this property.
00:43:37I mean, I don't know about you,
00:43:40but I've never seen a condo like this in my life.
00:43:43I don't know about you, but I've never seen a condo like this in my life.
00:43:46I mean, I've never seen a condo like this in my life.
00:43:49Nobody can build anything like that on this property.
00:43:52What do you mean? Why can't they?
00:43:55Didn't you know your grandparents' home was recently deemed heritage listed
00:43:58and can't be demolished for any reason?
00:44:01Oh my gosh, is this really true?
00:44:04Yes, I remember reading it in one of the Tribune's articles a couple years ago.
00:44:07I'd say that the lawyer and your uncle have no idea about it.
00:44:10I'd say that the lawyer and your uncle have no idea about it.
00:44:13Is there any proof I can use?
00:44:16It's a public record. I could probably dig it up in the archives for you.
00:44:27Gotta love those summer showers.
00:44:47I'm trapped inside your head
00:44:51Trying to get out
00:44:53But I know a love like this doesn't come around
00:44:56Every day
00:44:58And I just can't bring myself to give up right now
00:45:02Not this way
00:45:04Cause I love you and I wanna hold you
00:45:07And we're old and gray
00:45:10But a love like this don't come around
00:45:14Every day
00:45:26I've never been quite sure of myself or anyone else
00:45:32But here I am with you
00:45:37So I put my hesitations on the show
00:45:44Cause this is what I choose
00:45:49This would be the easiest thing if I let it
00:45:54I'm in a bit of a rush, Mr. Sullivan.
00:45:57You've been busy.
00:45:59You can pick these up in a few hours if you like.
00:46:01Okay, thank you.
00:46:07You can have my heart
00:46:10I know a love like this doesn't come around
00:46:13Every day
00:46:15And I just can't bring myself to give up right now
00:46:19Not this way
00:46:23I know I'm late again. Sorry.
00:46:26You make a guy think he's not that important.
00:46:30I really do appreciate this person.
00:46:33I can't believe my uncle thinks he can do whatever he wants.
00:46:36I'm happy to help.
00:46:41Sorry to interrupt this moment.
00:46:44But here's the information you needed.
00:46:48I guess that's all you really wanted from me.
00:46:52Axel, it's not what you think.
00:46:57Is there something going on between the two of you?
00:47:00To be honest, Parson, I thought there was.
00:47:03I mean, we weren't officially dating.
00:47:06It just kind of happened like that.
00:47:09It kind of happened last night.
00:47:13Well, you better go after him.
00:47:15If that's what you want.
00:47:17I can't.
00:47:18I organized a meeting with the sheriff knowing I'd have this information.
00:47:24I can have a word with Axel.
00:47:27Of course, I'd rather be the guy you picked, but...
00:47:31I care enough about you to see you happy.
00:47:35You really are a great guy, Parson.
00:47:38I'll try and find Axel after my meeting.
00:47:41Which I'm going to be late for if I don't go right now.
00:48:04Parson.
00:48:10Would you like anything, Madison?
00:48:12No, thank you, but here's the information.
00:48:19As you can see, Garner Plantation is heritage listed and cannot be demolished.
00:48:23Nor can the land have commercial structures, like condos.
00:48:27You'll also see that my uncle has submitted these plans to Mayor Yates for approval.
00:48:32If he has the land.
00:48:35I'm so glad you found this information, Madison.
00:48:39I had no idea your grandparents' home was heritage listed.
00:48:42Otherwise, I would have ended this long before it began.
00:48:46What I can do for you is end this today.
00:48:49Congratulations, Madison.
00:48:51Garner Plantation is your new home.
00:48:53Thank you, Sheriff Morris.
00:48:55I'm so happy about it, but I really need to chase down a friend who helped me with this.
00:49:00Sure. Go do what you need to do and get some of this done.
00:49:31Would you mind if I sat near you?
00:49:41You know, I found this happiness jar that my grandparents left for me
00:49:46and used to put in daily notes for a year about anything they were happy about.
00:49:53Each time, I followed a favorite note out of the many I've read.
00:49:57Each time, I followed a favorite note out of the many I've read.
00:50:00They led me to something that has changed my future and helped me empower myself.
00:50:07But the first time I met you here was from one of those notes.
00:50:13What I'm trying to say is, if it wasn't for that jar, we wouldn't have had last night.
00:50:19And what you saw today with Parson was nothing.
00:50:22He tried to kiss me, and it wasn't going to happen.
00:50:27Maybe I overreacted.
00:50:30I don't know.
00:50:33But if you're saying that there's nothing with Parson,
00:50:37then would you officially be my girl?
00:50:48I guess that's a yes?
00:50:50Yes!
00:50:52Oh, and I haven't told you.
00:50:54With your information and Parson's,
00:50:56Sheriff Morris said he's going to end this whole legal case over Gardner Plantation,
00:51:00and I am the official owner!
00:51:02What? I'm so pleased for you!
00:51:05This is great news!
00:51:17It's been such a crazy day, and I'm still rushing around.
00:51:22I have to get to Mr. Sullivan's to see how my photos develop before dinner.
00:51:27Do you want to come over for dinner?
00:51:30I'd love to, but I've got to get ready.
00:51:33I've got to meet with my editor in a couple hours to talk about job opportunities.
00:51:37I'll call you later.
00:51:39I can't wait to see your photos.
00:51:41I'm sure what you captured looks great.
00:51:47Mr. Sullivan! How did you like my photos?
00:51:50Madison!
00:51:53What can I say? Your photos showcase such talent.
00:51:57Oh my gosh, really?
00:52:00Each photo tells a small story,
00:52:02and I think this is something you should pursue further.
00:52:06I'm glad to hear you say that,
00:52:08because I've only now just considered the possibility of pursuing this as a career.
00:52:14Yes, you should consider that.
00:52:16Look here.
00:52:20The way you capture the light hitting these local heroes,
00:52:23we know without even seeing their faces,
00:52:25they're enjoying a well-earned break.
00:52:28And this one
00:52:30shows the delight and carefree attitude of this young child,
00:52:34makes you reminisce on your own childhood.
00:52:37It evokes emotions, Madison.
00:52:42Do you have a modern digital camera?
00:52:44No, I don't.
00:52:46I haven't taken photos in years.
00:52:49I have a few lying around the house.
00:52:51I don't use them as much as I used to.
00:52:53I pretty much don't feel like traveling and taking photos anymore.
00:52:57But I'll see what I can find for you.
00:52:59And consider it a gift if you promise me one thing.
00:53:03What's that?
00:53:04This is where I studied in New York many years ago.
00:53:07It's still one of the world's leading photography schools.
00:53:11If you submit some of your photos as your folio and a cover letter,
00:53:15I think you may have a good chance of getting in there.
00:53:19Yeah, I'll most definitely apply here.
00:53:22Wonderful.
00:53:25And I'll have a camera ready for you to take as a first-year student.
00:53:29What if I don't get in?
00:53:32I don't see that as an option.
00:53:34However, the camera shall still be yours.
00:53:38You've done so much for me already.
00:53:40What do I owe you for developing these?
00:53:42Madison, consider it a favor.
00:53:44If Blanche and Howard were here, they would have assisted you.
00:53:48And I think you coming back here was their gift to you.
00:53:54I have to agree with that, Mr. Sullivan.
00:53:57When I was driving here for the legal meeting,
00:54:00I felt really alone and confused as to what and where I was going.
00:54:05But Westmont seemed to have helped me find my path
00:54:09and learn more about myself.
00:54:13Thank you, Mr. Sullivan.
00:54:15It's my pleasure, Madison.
00:54:21Axel, it's been great having you on the team at Westmont Tribune,
00:54:24and it's been my pleasure to assist you in broadening your horizons
00:54:27into the world of journalism.
00:54:29I appreciate the opportunities you've given me
00:54:31and assisting me in finding part-time college
00:54:34and freelance writing options.
00:54:36Well, I sent some of your material off to a few places.
00:54:38Most responded. Some didn't bother to.
00:54:41However, I found a great balance and opportunity for you in New York.
00:54:49New York?
00:54:50Yes, I know it's a far cry from here,
00:54:52but you'll not only get to study part-time,
00:54:55you'll have a job placement in a small publication there, too.
00:54:58It's lifestyle-based, so it suits your background from here.
00:55:02Well, you look like you're having second thoughts.
00:55:05I don't have second thoughts about being a journalist.
00:55:08This is a fantastic opportunity, and I really appreciate it.
00:55:13I guess I'm just shocked that someone from New York picked me.
00:55:17Of course someone from New York picked you, Axel.
00:55:20In fact, this newspaper is losing a great writer.
00:55:25Now, have a look at this publication.
00:55:28When you go home, you can go online and read more of their content
00:55:31and see the campus you'll be studying part-time.
00:55:36I remember the first day I walked into the Westmont Tribune with my own material.
00:55:41You sent me straight to the copy room, ensuring that I learned from the bottom up.
00:55:45At that point, I thought that that wasn't fair,
00:55:48but now it's given me so much more experience and knowledge going forward.
00:55:53And I want to thank you for that.
00:55:55Well, it's been my pleasure, Axel.
00:55:57And here's the paperwork you must complete by the end of the week to secure your opportunity.
00:56:05Thanks again.
00:56:06When you make it big, don't forget the small folk here at Westmont.
00:56:33My name is Madison Garner, and I've recently been reintroduced to a childhood passion of mine of photography.
00:56:39It began by a seemingly innocent road trip to my grandparents' home where I used to summer.
00:56:47Now that they've left me their home and they're no longer around to talk to,
00:56:50I think I used this gift they left me of a happiness jar,
00:56:54filled with their small anecdotes as a backbone to try and find who I am and who I want to become.
00:57:02I don't have any expensive cameras or editing skills for now,
00:57:05but I used a retro 35mm camera and walked around my town,
00:57:09falling in love with not only the art of photography, but many locals too.
00:57:24Getting away from the boys and the town is way cool.
00:57:29Spill it.
00:57:30What's going on with you and the two hottest guys in Westmont?
00:57:35From the surface, I guess it looks like it'd be easy to pick, but honestly, both of them are great guys.
00:57:43Sure. But who?
00:57:46The salt of the earth hottie Axl?
00:57:50Or the charming broody Parson?
00:57:55Actually, I haven't had a chance to tell you, but it's Axl.
00:58:01I knew you two would be a great match.
00:58:04Okay then, tell me all the juicy details about Axl.
00:58:14You see, my grandparents left me this jar filled with these little notes about what they were happy about.
00:58:22I began to read some of them, and the ones that seemed to resonate with me,
00:58:27I went and visited the places, and that's how I first met Axl at Alpine Lake.
00:58:33Oh, I like the idea about this jar. Maybe I'll start one.
00:58:38Yeah, exactly. A happiness jar.
00:58:42So, do you have a whole jar full of small notes saying, Axl, Axl, Axl?
00:58:49No.
00:58:52Actually, Kenna, it's been an emotional tug on me being here.
00:58:58You seem so happy.
00:59:01Yeah, I am now, but I was really lost and had no idea where I was going.
00:59:11I left to get away from college choices, the messy divorce of my parents' baggage over the years, and I just felt really alone.
00:59:22I can relate.
00:59:23I can relate. You'd think with social media and phones we'd feel more connected, but sometimes I feel alone.
00:59:37Especially when no one understands how hard it is to make these decisions, or what we really go through.
00:59:46Maybe that's the answer, Madison. Seeing what you have more than what you don't have.
00:59:54Yeah, I like that.
01:00:16I'll never be lonely. If you promise you won't leave, I'll never be lonely.
01:00:29Lonely, lonely.
01:00:36I can't believe I finally got rid of my uncle's greedy paws off my beautiful home.
01:00:41Your grandparents from time to time spoke about you, and I always wondered what you'd be like, but never thought we'd actually meet.
01:00:50I never thought I'd come back to this town after being away for so long, but I guess sometimes you just have to take that turn in the road and fear it takes you.
01:01:03There's something I really need to talk to you about.
01:01:06Sure, what is it?
01:01:08Guys, I've got lunch!
01:01:11It's getting cold!
01:01:13Coming, Canna!
01:01:15If you walk with me this time, I can never be lonely.
01:01:21If you promise you won't leave, I'll never be lonely.
01:01:39Wanna know some town gossip?
01:01:42Not really.
01:01:44I think, Madison, you'd be interested in this bit of town gossip. It kind of involves you.
01:01:51Me?
01:01:53I heard Sheriff Morris in our store asked your mom out on a date.
01:01:59What? Are you sure? My mom, 5'4", brunette, and slightly bossy. My mom?
01:02:07Yep, that's Karen.
01:02:10I'd like to be a fly on the wall to see your mom tell you about her date.
01:02:14Have you met her, Mom?
01:02:16No, but we're all painting tomorrow, and he'll meet her then. Did you hear when this date is?
01:02:22I think tonight.
01:02:24I guess that kind of makes sense. They already know each other from years ago.
01:02:29Well, seeing that your mom's out tonight, do you want to see a movie?
01:02:35Sorry, Axel, it's a girls' night tonight at Skarner Residence.
01:02:39Okay, okay, I know when I'm not wanted.
01:02:43Am I to presume that's the end of your gossip session?
01:02:47Actually, I think I should tell you, Axel, that Jessica is back.
01:02:58Okay, guys, what's going on? Who's Jessica?
01:03:06She's my ex.
01:03:07She's my ex.
01:03:09Oh.
01:03:12I'll give you two a minute.
01:03:14I only told you not to make you uncomfortable, Madison, but to warn Axel.
01:03:22I was there for Axel when she hurt him.
01:03:27Sorry, I just care about both of you.
01:03:32I'll go unpack my stuff. I'll meet you at the house.
01:03:46Madison, I can only imagine what's going through your mind.
01:03:50I want you to know that I have no feelings for her. It's in the past.
01:03:56Yeah, I understand.
01:03:58We all have our exes, but we've only just started our relationship.
01:04:04I guess I never thought about your exes here.
01:04:09I'd say Kenner's just as confused as me as to why she's back.
01:04:14She left Westmont because she despised living in a small town.
01:04:18Well, speaking of leaving town,
01:04:22we haven't exactly had the chance to talk about what either of our plans are.
01:04:25We haven't exactly had the chance to talk about what either of our plans are when summer's over.
01:04:31I actually just applied to this photography college in New York City.
01:04:36I know I should be applying to other places, but if I don't get in there,
01:04:41I'll stay here for a year, put together a bigger folio, and reapply.
01:04:45I haven't told anyone this.
01:04:48Wow, that's fantastic.
01:04:51I'm really pleased that you found your passion.
01:04:53And it must be fate because I've just decided to accept an offer in New York City for journalism.
01:05:01That's what I was trying to tell you.
01:05:04Can you imagine if both of us go to New York City?
01:05:07Well, that's if I get in.
01:05:10I'm sure you'll get in, Madison.
01:05:13But for now, we shouldn't worry about Jessica or anything else.
01:05:18I agree.
01:05:23I agree.
01:05:47You ladies have gone above and beyond.
01:05:51Everything looks and smells delicious.
01:05:54Mom, I'd like to introduce you to Axel, my boyfriend.
01:05:59It's nice to meet you, Axel. I've heard all fine things about you.
01:06:02It's nice to meet you too, Miss Garner.
01:06:04Call me Karen. That's too formal.
01:06:07This has got to be the tastiest breakfast I've ever eaten.
01:06:13I'm hooked on these waffles.
01:06:16Madison made the waffles.
01:06:20Come on, guys. This house ain't going to paint itself.
01:06:35So, you're coming to the end of summer lake party, right?
01:06:39Axel mentioned it. What's it like?
01:06:42It's a Westmont end of summer tradition.
01:06:44Alpine Lake gets taken over by locals wanting to kick back, drink, swim, dance, and have a good time.
01:06:52Sounds like fun.
01:06:54Hey, have you seen Parson recently?
01:06:58Why?
01:07:00I haven't seen him since I told him about Axel and I was hoping we could still be friends.
01:07:07He's fine about you and Axel. It's not like you were dating more than a minute.
01:07:12But if I know Parson, you probably need some down time.
01:07:17I'd say you're the first girl to say no to him.
01:07:22Do you think he'll be at the lake party?
01:07:26Yeah, probably.
01:07:28I'll catch up with him then.
01:07:35I finished the upstairs windows. What's next?
01:07:38We're nearly finished with the pickets too. The three of us could paint the shed doors.
01:07:43We were just talking about the lake party. My sister told me there's going to be a DJ this year.
01:07:50Sweet! I look forward to this party every year.
01:08:00Jessica, what brings you back here?
01:08:04Nothing really. Just felt like catching up with some people.
01:08:06I walked around the farm but couldn't see Axel. Is he here?
01:08:10Why would you want to see Axel? You made it quite clear you didn't want Axel or this town.
01:08:15You make it sound so cold.
01:08:17You can't just use people like that. And you're not worthy of my brother. You got that?
01:08:22Stay clear of him, Jessica. He's been through enough and we don't need your trouble around here.
01:08:30That's the past. I just want to catch up with him.
01:08:32Well, he's not here. He's with his girlfriend.
01:08:36Girlfriend?
01:08:38I really don't think you should be speaking with Axel.
01:08:41Everyone deserves a second chance.
01:08:44Only if their intentions are sincere. Like I said, he's not here.
01:08:58We haven't talked in a while.
01:09:02We've been friends a long time.
01:09:05It's cool you came today. As I wanted to say that I'm sorry about-
01:09:09I know. I know, Axel.
01:09:14You're not the type of guy to move in on another guy's girl like my brother did to you.
01:09:23I mean, we only went on one date and you two connected more.
01:09:30Don't worry, Axel. We're cool.
01:09:39I heard Jessica's back. Have you seen her?
01:09:44I haven't seen her, but I've heard the gossip.
01:09:49If you want something done, you've got to do it yourself.
01:09:52Hold up, Kay. I need to inspect your painting skills.
01:10:04Gee, I don't know. I think you might have missed a few spots.
01:10:10Here.
01:10:12And here.
01:10:40What?
01:11:10I'm sorry.
01:11:40I'm sorry.
01:12:10I'm sorry.
01:12:41Axel!
01:12:45Sorry I missed your calls. There was no service on the country delivery.
01:12:49That's okay. You're here now.
01:12:52I'm totally thrilled to tell you that I'll be catching a plane to New York City with you.
01:12:59No way! Really?
01:13:01Yes! I got accepted into the New York Photography College. I start in a week.
01:13:07This couldn't have worked out any better if we tried. I can't believe it.
01:13:13We're both going to be going to New York City.
01:13:16I know. We have to find a place to live.
01:13:20I already have a place lined up. The magazine has apartments where employees can rent via management company.
01:13:26Do you think we should live together?
01:13:29Why not?
01:13:30Well, I don't know. I don't want to put too much pressure on our relationship.
01:13:37I kind of agree. This is totally new for me too, but everything just seems to be falling into place right now.
01:13:45We don't know anyone else in the city, so I think we should live together. See how it goes.
01:13:54I think it's going to be great with you.
01:14:00I'm so excited.
01:14:17I can't believe, Axel, you're off to New York City. I'm so dearest Madison.
01:14:22I know. It feels like a dream. When I first got here, I had no idea what I was doing.
01:14:27My folks own a place in New York. They use it for business. Therefore, don't worry, Kay, we'll visit them.
01:14:35Sounds like a party in NYC.
01:14:39It's going to be strange having a job in the city and studying. No farm, no chores. It's a total contrast.
01:14:47I think you'll do great, Axel. I think you'll be surprised how much you like contrast.
01:14:53When do you start college, Parson?
01:14:56Just under two weeks.
01:14:58God, it's going to make me sad.
01:15:05I'm going to be the only one here.
01:15:08Yeah, but you'll be busy here if you're studying. And we'll be back for Thanksgiving.
01:15:12Let's make plans to come home for Thanksgiving, then party in the Big Apple for New Year's. I'll be doing that.
01:15:18Me too.
01:15:20Well, that's only a few months away. I'm down.
01:15:23I'm going to grab a soda. Anyone want?
01:15:26I'll have one. I'm good.
01:15:28No, thanks.
01:15:34Two sodas, please.
01:15:37Hey, Axel. It's great to see you.
01:15:41How's it going, Jessica?
01:15:43It's great. Just came back with Nathan to see his family, but I haven't stopped thinking about you.
01:15:49Jessica, it's the past. I have a girlfriend.
01:15:54Oh, that boppy girl that's standing near you?
01:15:58That girl is called Madison. And I really need to get back to her.
01:16:03Hey, wait. I know I hurt you, but can't we at least talk? We share a history together.
01:16:14Are you okay? Where's Axel?
01:16:17I'll tell you where Axel is. He's kissing some girl.
01:16:21Shit. That's Jessica.
01:16:24Jessica is ex.
01:16:27I'm sorry.
01:16:32I'm sorry.
01:16:34I'm sorry.
01:16:36I'm sorry.
01:16:38I'm sorry.
01:16:40I'm sorry.
01:16:42I'm sorry.
01:16:44Guys, I'm just gonna go home.
01:16:46Hang on. We need to get to the bottom of this.
01:16:50The bottom of what?
01:16:52He's kissing another girl and we're meant to be leaving for New York in less than a week. I...
01:16:59I need to go.
01:17:01Hold on. I'll go with you.
01:17:12Where is everyone?
01:17:15What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:17:18Why are you going kissing Jessica when you've got someone as cool as Madison?
01:17:22Did Madison see?
01:17:24Yeah. She said she saw you kissing a girl and Parson recognized her.
01:17:29I'm sorry.
01:17:31I'm sorry.
01:17:33I'm sorry.
01:17:35I'm sorry.
01:17:37I'm sorry.
01:17:39I'm sorry.
01:17:41What's going on?
01:17:43Kenner, you know me. I wouldn't do anything to hurt Madison.
01:17:48Jessica was all over me like a rash. She moved in, planted the kiss.
01:17:53What Madison didn't see was me pushing her away.
01:17:56You've got some heavy explaining to do.
01:17:59She's really hurt.
01:18:02Where is she now?
01:18:04Parson took her home.
01:18:08Parson?
01:18:11Don't start getting off of Parson's case.
01:18:14I'm pretty sure he has good intentions.
01:18:16Yeah, like his brother Nathan did with Jessica.
01:18:19Instead of explaining yourself to me, you should be explaining yourself to her.
01:18:24What do you think you're doing?
01:18:26You just can't keep your grubby little jealous hands off my brother.
01:18:29You just love the drama, don't you?
01:18:32Four on the farm every day and obsessing over my life.
01:18:37I warned you, Jessica.
01:18:39Get over yourself.
01:18:41I'm sorry.
01:18:43I'm sorry.
01:18:45I'm sorry.
01:18:47I'm sorry.
01:18:49I'm sorry.
01:18:51I'm sorry.
01:18:54Who cares what you think?
01:18:56I kissed Axel as I know he still loves me.
01:18:59No matter what any of you choose to believe.
01:19:02No matter what anybody else thinks.
01:19:04Including that leech of a girl that he's with.
01:19:11Now, let me give you a warning.
01:19:14If you ever touch me or do anything like this ever again,
01:19:20or if I even hear you talking about me,
01:19:23I will make sure that I take you down.
01:19:26And I'm not messing around.
01:19:29You don't scare me, Jessica.
01:19:32That's a real shame, Paige.
01:19:34You really should be scared.
01:19:44Do you want anything to eat or drink?
01:19:47Madison.
01:19:48Madison.
01:19:50I'm fine.
01:19:52Stop fussing.
01:19:54Just sit down and relax.
01:19:56That's why I escorted you home.
01:19:59I just...
01:20:01I can't believe he would do this to me.
01:20:03If I know Jessica,
01:20:05there's gotta be more to the story.
01:20:10And I didn't see them kissing when I looked over.
01:20:13Okay, you have to talk to Axel.
01:20:18No.
01:20:26What the hell do you think you're doing, Parson?
01:20:28You're just like your brother.
01:20:30Take it down a notch.
01:20:32I am nothing like my brother.
01:20:34And I am on your side.
01:20:37I was just telling Madison she needs to talk to you.
01:20:42This is where I exit.
01:20:46I just want to get her home safely.
01:20:49We should go, Parson.
01:21:00I don't even know if I want to hear what you're going to say.
01:21:11I'm not denying that she didn't kiss me, Madison.
01:21:15She did.
01:21:16But that's all you saw.
01:21:18As soon as she kissed me, I pushed back from it.
01:21:22I don't know.
01:21:24I know what I saw.
01:21:26You didn't look too defensive to me.
01:21:29I can only imagine what you saw.
01:21:32What's going on in your mind, but...
01:21:35I promise you, I did not kiss her back.
01:21:39I'm not interested in her,
01:21:41and I'm really upset knowing that you're this hurt.
01:21:44I don't know what to say for you to believe that
01:21:47what you saw was only part of what happened, but...
01:21:51I know that you're important to me.
01:21:54Is being important enough?
01:21:57Yes, it is.
01:22:02I was going to decline going to New York if you didn't get in.
01:22:05I was going to decline going to New York if you didn't get in.
01:22:13It's not every day that you meet someone that you truly connect with.
01:22:19I want to get to know you more.
01:22:23I want to explore New York City with you.
01:22:27I want to get up in the morning and know that
01:22:30the first person's smile I want to see
01:22:32is there.
01:22:36We may not have history like Jessica and I or
01:22:39any of your exes, but
01:22:42that's what's thrilling.
01:22:45We're about to experience that together and
01:22:49I don't know if this sounds crazy or too quick,
01:22:53but I've got nothing to lose in this moment.
01:22:57Madison.
01:23:03I actually love you.
01:23:05It doesn't sound crazy.
01:23:08I love you too.
01:23:23I never believed that going to Westmont
01:23:26would significantly change my life
01:23:28to the sweet idea of a happiness jar my grandparents left me.
01:23:33I love you.
01:23:51Welcome back to New York, Mr. Yates.
01:23:54How long will you stay this time?
01:23:56As long as it takes.
01:23:58This past year in New York City,
01:24:01I started my own happiness jar,
01:24:03writing down each day whatever I was happy for,
01:24:06no matter how tough days got.
01:24:17We're off to the Hamptons for a romantic getaway
01:24:20and who knows?
01:24:22Someone could find this and it could change their destiny
01:24:25as much as it magically did mine.
01:24:27Yes.
