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 on.
00:00:22Actually, 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 forever?
00:00:35Basically, I'm lost as to what to do and leaving those choices behind is what I need. Just like I
00:00:41need this open road and the warm summer breeze blowing through my hair and inviting itself into
00:00:46my car as a refreshing and invigorating guest. One more hour till I reach Westmont, listening to my
00:00:53favorite playlist to the place where my grandparents once lived. I love Westmont. I used to summer here
00:01:00as a kid. But Sally, this time, they're gone and their beautiful plantation home is to be given to
00:01:05me as my inheritance. But my uncle thinks he's legally entitled to it. Personally, I'm happy to
00:01:11share it and move on. But he doesn't want to have to share. He wants it all. I guess that old saying
00:01:17is true. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.
00:01:47Can I help you? Madison Garner for Ms. Kent. They're waiting for you in the boardroom.
00:02:05Great to see you, Madison.
00:02:08You have to understand, Maddie. This isn't about taking this away from you.
00:02:14It's about keeping what's rightfully mine.
00:02:19I hope you can understand. My parents' place cannot go to you.
00:02:25Uncle Fred, I prefer you call me Madison. I'm not five anymore.
00:02:31And I think changing the wishes of grandma and grandpa is disrespectful to them.
00:02:37And I'm sorry, I don't think I can understand your personal opinion.
00:02:42If we can share it.
00:02:45Now, now. We don't want any unnecessary drama over one plantation home.
00:02:51Madison, I need to legally inform you that it is in your best interest to accept the generous offer
00:02:57of 50,000 your uncle has extended to you in place of a very old home that's in need of money
00:03:05and repairs. 50,000 would go very nicely towards college expenses, wouldn't it?
00:03:13$50,000 doesn't replace having the best summers of my life with two people who dearly loved me.
00:03:20I won't give my uncle the plantation home.
00:03:25I know he's going to tear it down, build condos, and move on.
00:03:30We either share it or I keep it.
00:03:34Madison, you have no proof your uncle intends to tear it down.
00:03:38The only way for you to keep the place is for you to pay your uncle
00:03:41what he believes he's owed from his parents' home.
00:03:44Uncle Fred, I know we haven't been as close since my parents' divorce,
00:03:52but you know I can't pay you out.
00:03:56Therefore, I guess I'll see you in court.
00:04:00If this goes to court, Madison, you could lose everything.
00:04:04Consider the 50,000 over the next few days.
00:04:08Before you leave, please collect a jar from reception.
00:04:12It was left for you in their will when you return to Westmont.
00:04:32Sorry, overseas office.
00:04:35I believe you have some kind of jar for me.
00:04:42Excuse me.
00:04:55Excuse me.
00:04:57This is my car.
00:04:58Are you aware you're parked illegally, miss?
00:05:01Oh, I'm sorry.
00:05:03I had to get to a legal meeting as my grandparents recently passed away.
00:05:10Uh, I guess I 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.
00:05:22No ticket.
00:05:24Now, I remember you used to stay with them every summer with your grandparents.
00:05:28And, boy, was Howard famous for his cook-offs.
00:05:32How long are you in town for?
00:05:34Uh, honestly, I'm not sure.
00:05:37But if my uncle has his way, I won't be here longer than a few days.
00:05:41You don't mean that narcissistic Fred Garner.
00:05:44Sadly, I do.
00:05:45Well, if you need anything, come by my office.
00:05:51Your grandparents are really loved in this town.
00:05:53They're a big part of what made Westmont the town it is today.
00:05:57Anything from Blanch and 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,
00:06:06let them know Sheriff Morris sent you, and they'll look after you.
00:06:11Have a nice day.
00:06:15Hey, Mom.
00:06:40Hey, darling.
00:06:40Did your father make it to the meeting?
00:06:42Uh, no.
00:06:44He was a no-show, as always.
00:06:47I thought it was a long shot.
00:06:48We haven't seen him in years.
00:06:50What happened?
00:06:51Uncle Fred is basically wanting to take the home from me.
00:06:55And I'm standing here now just looking at it.
00:06:58And it's just as grand and beautiful as when we came here every summer as a family.
00:07:03Well, don't give up hope, Madison.
00:07:05Your grandparents dearly loved you.
00:07:07I'll try and get there in a few days.
00:07:09If I'm still here, Uncle Fred will be bulldozing this in a week if he has his way.
00:07:15But he did offer me $50,000 for it.
00:07:18$50,000?
00:07:19That's not even a quarter of what that land's worth.
00:07:21But if you want to use it for college, I support your decision either way.
00:07:25You agree we wouldn't talk about college?
00:07:27Okay, Madison.
00:07:28We did.
00:07:29Call me if you need anything.
00:07:31Love you.
00:07:46Hey, Royce.
00:07:47What can I get you, Sheriff?
00:07:48Just the usual.
00:07:53Well, if it isn't Fred Garner.
00:07:56Hey, Mr. Morris.
00:08:01That's Sheriff Morris now, Fred.
00:08:04It's good to see the family having a hearty meal before heading back to the city.
00:08:08Don't worry.
00:08:10You'll be seeing more of us.
00:08:12I have plans for my family in this town.
00:08:16Is your brother Jonathan with you?
00:08:18My 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.
00:08:35To our dearest Madison, this letter is for you to say we couldn't be more happy knowing
00:08:52that you are now living in our home that brought us much fulfillment.
00:08:56There was once a specific year of our lives together that we decided to start a happiness
00:09:02jar.
00:09:02What this is, you may ask.
00:09:05Simply, Madison, is that each day we wrote a small note of what we were happy for.
00:09:10It's quite funny, really.
00:09:11Some days your grandfather was just happy for my baked cookies.
00:09:15And other days we wrote more sentimental.
00:09:18We hope this jar and its collection of moments takes you on your own journey as an adult through
00:09:23Westmont.
00:09:24Dive into the jar, Madison, and find your happiness as we did.
00:09:28Love always, Grandma and Grandpa.
00:09:32Love always, Mac.
00:09:35Love always.
00:09:36August 22nd, happy to watch the sunset on our porch.
00:09:51Happy for our dear friend Tom Morris becoming sheriff.
00:09:57February 14th, happy to spend another Valentine's with my love at Alpine Lake.
00:10:04How romantic that they loved each other all those years.
00:10:17Hey, watch it!
00:10:20Oh, sorry.
00:10:23Normally there's no one here.
00:10:26I'm Axel.
00:10:28Madison.
00:10:30I haven't seen you here before.
00:10:32I haven't been here in years.
00:10:39I'm just staying at my grandparents' house.
00:10:41Ah, you're a city chick.
00:10:43So what if I am?
00:10:46What's that supposed to mean?
00:10:48Nothing really.
00:10:49It just seems when you city girls come here, you complain about everything.
00:10:53I'm not complaining.
00:10:55You practically drenched me.
00:10:57A couple sprinkles of water isn't drenching.
00:11:02See you around, city chick.
00:11:07Hey, welcome to Westmont.
00:11:14I'm Kenna.
00:11:16My family owns the general store that delivered that food.
00:11:21And I thought you might like some discount coupons.
00:11:24I appreciate that, Kenna.
00:11:26Stocking up an empty house is more expensive than I thought.
00:11:30Oh, and I'm Madison.
00:11:33Sheriff Morris came by to tell us to help you out.
00:11:36Everyone's been so kind.
00:11:38I guess it's Westmont's small town charm.
00:11:41So, what are your plans for today?
00:11:47I'm thinking of exploring beechwood farms.
00:11:50Oh, I love going there.
00:11:52Make sure you pick some berries.
00:11:54Hey, seeing as you're my new neighbor, we're doing a cookout tonight.
00:11:59You should come.
00:12:00Oh, yeah.
00:12:01I'd love to.
00:12:02Great.
00:12:03See you around eight.
00:12:04I'll be there.
00:12:11Come on, brother.
00:12:38See if you can beat that.
00:12:40It's not really my sport.
00:12:43But the question today, Nathan, is why 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.
00:13:02And we're not that close.
00:13:04Okay, Parson, enough.
00:13:07Truth is, Dad's not impressed with you.
00:13:11Is he ever going to be?
00:13:13I do everything he wants.
00:13:15Now what's he worried about?
00:13:18The going out with girls who will only want your money.
00:13:21The parties.
00:13:23You're dragging the Yates' name into the mud.
00:13:26And it's time you take on what's expected of you.
00:13:28I need those parties.
00:13:32It'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.
00:13:47Oh yeah, brother, your life is hard.
00:13:51Try 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.
00:14:29To give our father, the town's precious mayor,
00:14:33his reputation of squeaky clean for the voters.
00:14:42Do you have any goals?
00:14:44Of course I do.
00:14:46Good.
00:14:48So stop putting me between you and dad and start doing as you're told.
00:15:15Thanks very much.
00:15:17Do come again.
00:15:18We seem to keep bumping into each other.
00:15:26At my expense.
00:15:27I'd like to stand up now.
00:15:31Oh yeah, of course.
00:15:37Sorry you spilled all your berries.
00:15:39But I know the owner.
00:15:41And I think I can replace those for you in the house.
00:15:44Follow me.
00:15:46Is there anything else I can help you with?
00:15:50Actually, I noticed I need someone to mow the lawns around the lake.
00:15:54Is there a service in town for that?
00:15:57You're looking at it.
00:15:58So you just happen to swim in lakes, know the owner of this farm, and run your own lawn mowing service.
00:16:04And don't forget local hero.
00:16:05And don't forget local hero.
00:16:06Saving damsels in distress.
00:16:07I'm impressed.
00:16:15Axel.
00:16:16Where have you been?
00:16:18Where have you been?
00:16:19Where have you been?
00:16:20There's deliveries?
00:16:23Sure, sis.
00:16:24By the way, Paige, this is Madison.
00:16:29Nice to meet you.
00:16:30I'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.
00:16:41Don't be a stranger.
00:16:42Axel, those deliveries aren't going to deliver themselves.
00:16:46You didn't tell me your grandparents were the Garner's.
00:16:53I already mowed their lawns.
00:16:55I'm learning that everyone really loved them in this town,
00:16:58and I think I missed out not coming back here for summer after my parents' divorce.
00:17:07I'd better let you get to those deliveries, and tell your sister thanks for these.
00:17:12Well, see ya!

00:17:44Life's in
00:17:45Hey, Axel, Parson, I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine, Madison, who lives just across the lake at the Garner's home.
00:17:57Nice to meet you, Madison Garner. I'm Parson Yates.
00:18:01Madison and I have actually already met. I practically saved her life.
00:18:07Something tells me you're probably exaggerating, Axel. Isn't he?
00:18:12Well, I wouldn't call him Superman, but he definitely was my hero today.
00:18:23Hey, guys. Hey, Royce. I brought some food from the diner. Can you help me unload? Sure.
00:18:33Nice bullcanner. You guys can use it anytime.
00:18:36I might take you up on that.
00:18:37So, how long do you plan on staying in town?
00:18:45I'm not sure. I haven't made any concrete plans. Depends on my college choices, I guess.
00:18:52It's great you have a choice. Mine's been mapped out since the day I was born.
00:18:59At least stay for the remaining of summer.
00:19:00So, have you been out on the lake yet?
00:19:10No. I used to go out all the time with my grandparents.
00:19:16I'd like to take you out sometime on my boat.
00:19:19Sounds like a plan, Parson.
00:19:22Dinner's ready, guys.
00:19:23Oh, I'm starved.
00:19:27And hey, Parson, maybe Axel and Kenna can join us when we go out on the boat?
00:19:32There's only room for two, but maybe we can plan another group activity.
00:19:37Parson, I know that move.
00:19:48The whole date on the rowboat and lake.
00:19:50She'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?
00:20:07Nothing.
00:20:10Just saying.
00:20:15Come on, guys. Hurry up.
00:20:19Don't worry.
00:20:21I'm not going to hurt her.
00:20:37Maybe one before bed.
00:20:52August 28th.
00:20:54Donate a town gazebo to Maple Lane Park.
00:20:56I'm not going to hurt her.
00:20:59You're welcome.
00:21:03Everyone's in my school.
00:21:04Bye.
00:21:20Bye.
00:21:21I need you to show me something
00:21:26Cause when you move
00:21:30I can't look away
00:21:32So grab your iPod from 2007
00:21:35Set it to shut but baby take me to heaven
00:21:38Can you give me something
00:21:41Something I can tell to
00:21:44Can you get the message
00:21:47Cause I don't wanna miss you
00:21:50Take my hand and I'll travel through time
00:21:53To a sign you'd hide in the back of your mind
00:21:56Can you give me something
00:21:59Something I can tell to
00:22:02Has that sparked your interest, young lady?
00:22:06I used to like photography when I was younger, but
00:22:09I've never used a camera like this before
00:22:12Everything's digital these days
00:22:18And Photoshop
00:22:19However, this style of photography
00:22:21Picks up in that one second
00:22:23What the photographer actually sees
00:22:25Shooting on film is my favorite
00:22:29How do you develop the film?
00:22:32Don't worry about that
00:22:34Let's make a deal
00:22:35You take the photos and I'll develop them for you
00:22:38With my equipment
00:22:39That sounds fair enough
00:22:41How much for these?
00:22:46For you, $20
00:22:48Thanks
00:22:56I'm Ian Sullivan
00:23:04And I hope to see your photos soon
00:23:06Nice to meet you, Mr. Sullivan
00:23:09I'm Madison
00:23:10There's something I can tell
00:23:12That you get
00:23:14I'm Madison
00:23:15On iTunes
00:23:25I'll take a look
00:23:25I'm Anna
00:23:27I'm Madison
00:23:28What's your terry
00:23:29Where dressed?
00:23:30How's période
00:23:30You take a look
00:23:32Of Brother
00:23:34He had a walk
00:23:35Of Brother
00:23:36Who's going to let others
00:23:37him
00:23:38Who's going to let others
00:23:39You do
00:23:40You do
00:23:40What you're going to let other people
00:24:43I did find this really cool camera at Mr. Sullivan's yard sale.
00:24:46Oh, Mr. Sullivan.
00:24:48You know, he's got such a prize-winning career for his freelance photography.
00:24:53Do you need a model?
00:24:54So, when can I take you out on the lake?
00:25:03You gave me your number.
00:25:05I'll give you a call.
00:25:06Oh, you torture me.
00:25:09Will she ring?
00:25:10Won't she ring?
00:25:12When will she ring?
00:25:13Don't be so dramatic.
00:25:15I'm going to call you.
00:25:16Parting is such sweet sorrow.
00:25:22And Shakespeare he quotes.
00:25:23It's really hot out here.
00:25:52Why don't you come inside for a cold drink?
00:25:55Sure.
00:25:56Sounds great.
00:25:57So, how much do I owe you for the lawns?
00:26:19No charge.
00:26:21Your grandparents always paid me a season in advance.
00:26:24They were good like that.
00:26:27Do you miss them?
00:26:29Every day.
00:26:32Every day.
00:26:33I regret not coming to see them after my parents' divorce.
00:26:39I'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.
00:26:54Between your gran's cooking and going fishing with your grandfather, I didn't want to leave.
00:26:59And, you know, I don't think I've ever met two people more in love.
00:27:06That sounds like my grandparents.
00:27:09I can't believe you actually stayed here.
00:27:12Aren't your parents just as in love?
00:27:17Yeah.
00:27:17I mean, they're in love, but not like your grandparents.
00:27:24They were soulmates.
00:27:26Yeah.
00:27:27I really miss them.
00:27:32I see so much of them in you.
00:27:36If you need anything, I'm here for you.
00:27:42Hey!
00:27:43The door was open.
00:27:45Can you believe?
00:27:46My parents sent me over with more food.
00:27:49Hey, Kenner.
00:27:50Smells great.
00:27:53I gotta get back to the lawns.
00:27:57Tell me if I'm wrong.
00:28:02But did I walk in on something between you and Axel?
00:28:07I don't know.
00:28:09Maybe.
00:28:16So, has anything ever, like, happened between you and either of them?
00:28:21Like, romantically?
00:28:23No.
00:28:23We'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.
00:28:44So, she left.
00:28:49Do you miss her?
00:28:52I used to.
00:28:54But, I wanna stay here.
00:28:57And, she had dreams of moving away to college.
00:29:02So, what's going on between you and Madison?
00:29:23Anything I should know?
00:29:26Nothing.
00:29:27I don't know what you're implying, Paige.
00:29:29Axel.
00:29:30I know you like her.
00:29:31I was only asking if you want the night off to take her out.
00:29:36Maybe.
00:29:37I don't know.
00:29:38Have I ever told you about the first time I met Jonathan?
00:29:42It was at the high-risk celebrations, and he was the cutest guy there.
00:29:47Every girl wanted to dance with him.
00:29:49What I'm saying is, if I didn't take the chance that night to ask him out, we may never have met, as he was only in town for the harvest celebrations.
00:30:02I know, sis.
00:30:04I get it.
00:30:05All I'm saying is, don't take too long deciding.
00:30:09Can't hurt to ask.
00:30:10I thought you'd forgotten.
00:30:21Sorry, I got caught up in town taking photos.
00:30:25It seems these days I always see you with a camera.
00:30:28It's becoming an obsession.
00:30:35You shouldn't have.
00:30:36I'll just put these in some water and we can go.
00:30:39It seems, Fred, all you garners are stubborn.
00:30:49Your niece 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.
00:31:06Offer her $80,000, and don't waste my time on a court case.
00:31:12Don't you think offering her more money makes it look like you've got something to hide?
00:31:16My counsel to you is to lay low and go to court.
00:31:21She may not even know anything else.
00:31:23I pay you to do what I say.
00:31:27It's that simple.
00:31:29If you can't do it, I'll get another lawyer.
00:31:33I understand.
00:31:34I'll personally pay Miss Garner a visit and tell her about your generous offer.
00:31:42generous offer.
00:31:43No!
00:31:44No!
00:31:45This is a great idea.
00:31:46I hope you never decide to set me free.
00:31:48You've put a spell on me.
00:31:49This is a great idea.
00:31:50I hope you never decide to set me free.
00:31:54Sundress swaying in the breeze
00:31:59I can't stop staring
00:32:02You've put a spell on me
00:32:06This is a great idea.
00:32:08You really get to feel the coolness of the water
00:32:10making the ambience.
00:32:12I'd set me free
00:32:13I normally take my boat onto the other lakes here.
00:32:18It's a great way to escape.
00:32:21It's got me moving my own feet
00:32:23Greatest feeling
00:32:27I can't imagine you have much to escape from.
00:32:33It's strange.
00:32:35People think when you have a dad who's rich and powerful
00:32:37that my life is easy.
00:32:41I don't have to worry about the same things they do,
00:32:43but it also comes with its set of demands.
00:32:47Like what?
00:32:50Measuring up to the family name.
00:32:53My dad sees me as a disappointment.
00:32:56You and I as one thing
00:33:00every day.
00:33:03Well, why 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.
00:33:14And I'm taking
00:33:16I'd like to be mayor of this town.
00:33:20I was just telling Kenna how this place makes you want to stay.
00:33:24And I think you'd make a great mayor.
00:33:35Come on.
00:33:36How'd you know I love picnics?
00:33:43I'm pleased you like it, Madison.
00:33:52Dare I ask what your plans are?
00:33:56Oh my gosh.
00:33:58This question just looms around me.
00:34:02I actually like it here.
00:34:04But I still want to go and study in the city somewhere.
00:34:10Sounds like a great plan.
00:34:13But I'd rather convince you to stay.
00:34:16Why's that?
00:34:17Because I'm not ready to give up
00:34:22on knowing what we could be.
00:34:25That's so sweet, Parson.
00:34:29Honestly,
00:34:30I haven't made any decision.
00:34:34Sounds promising, then.
00:34:37We may yet be able to create our own great romance.
00:34:41Right here in Westmont.
00:34:43Oh my gosh.
00:35:01I thought I was going to fall out of the boat
00:35:02when you wanted me to jump out.
00:35:05Thanks for helping me get my sea legs.
00:35:07You're a natural.
00:35:12Hey.
00:35:14I had a really great time today.
00:35:30Madison.
00:35:31I'm glad I found you.
00:35:34Since when do attorneys make house calls
00:35:35when you're not on my retainer?
00:35:37It's a private matter.
00:35:38Would you excuse us, Parson, please?
00:35:40Anything you have to say,
00:35:41you can say in front of Parson.
00:35:42What's my uncle running now?
00:35:46Actually, Madison,
00:35:47he's extending you a rather generous offer.
00:35:51He's willing to overlook the fact
00:35:52you turned down his original offer
00:35:53and would like to give you,
00:35:56as you're his family,
00:35:58$80,000
00:35:59to walk away from the Garner house
00:36:01and save yourself
00:36:03from losing everything in court next week.
00:36:05Oh, wow.
00:36:07I can't believe he thinks he can buy me off.
00:36:11My grandparents died wanting me to have this home.
00:36:14If he's not willing to share it as a family,
00:36:17I 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,
00:36:23but you need to consider the fact
00:36:25you could lose everything, Miss Garner.
00:36:27Where was my uncle when my parents divorced?
00:36:29I didn't see him that worried about me.
00:36:33I'll take my chances
00:36:35and respect my grandparents' wishes
00:36:37that this home is mine.
00:36:41Madison,
00:36:42you're being very immature right now.
00:36:45And I think...
00:36:46And I think
00:36:47you should leave,
00:36:49as she has no legal representation
00:36:51and you're bordering on badgering.
00:36:54She's given you her answer
00:36:55and she'll see you in court.
00:37:09Thanks for that.
00:37:11See, you'd make a great mayor of Westmont.
00:37:13You're already defending citizens of this town.
00:37:19Seriously, Madison.
00:37:21I need to tell you something.
00:37:24I heard my father
00:37:26talking about your uncle
00:37:27wanting to knock this down,
00:37:28mill condos on this land.
00:37:31That's why he's trying to take it off you.
00:37:34I knew it.
00:37:36I knew he had no sentimental value to this place,
00:37:38but honestly,
00:37:40I don't know what to do.
00:37:43I really love this place.
00:37:46I don't want to lose it.
00:37:49I'll see what I can do.
00:37:52If I can get you some information
00:37:53you can use in the court
00:37:54showing that your uncle
00:37:56has no sentimental attachment,
00:37:58do you promise
00:37:59you won't divulge
00:37:59who gave you the information?
00:38:01Of course.
00:38:02I promise.
00:38:03But
00:38:04can't it still be tracked back to you?
00:38:06No.
00:38:08It can come back to town planning
00:38:09and the mayor,
00:38:10but not necessarily me.
00:38:13Don't worry.
00:38:15I'll get you some proof.
00:38:23This jar sounds like a great distraction
00:38:25to everything that's going on
00:38:27with the court case.
00:38:27What does that one say?
00:38:32October 3rd,
00:38:33a 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.
00:38:40I actually rode past it the other day.
00:38:43With the court case around the corner,
00:38:46I just want you to know
00:38:46not to be disappointed.
00:38:49Whatever the outcome.
00:38:50I don't think I have to worry about that anymore.
00:38:53I'm getting my hands
00:38:54on some information about Uncle Fred
00:38:56wanting to tear it down for condos.
00:38:58We should talk more about this.
00:39:01Not now, Mom.
00:39:03Do you want to join me
00:39:04on a bike ride to the Tribune?
00:39:06I've got other college applications
00:39:08for you to fill in.
00:39:09Maybe we should do that first.
00:39:12I just don't want you to pin
00:39:13all your hopes on this place
00:39:15and not...
00:39:17focus on your future.
00:39:22She told me watch your mouth
00:39:25when you're talking like that
00:39:28before you leave this place
00:39:32and don't come back
00:39:35What brings you to Luke's diner today?
00:39:39I could ask you the same thing.
00:39:41Fair.
00:39:43I've actually been writing editorial
00:39:44and small news stories for a year.
00:39:46It's what I like to do.
00:39:48My editor is trying to find me part-time work
00:39:50near a few colleges I've applied to.
00:39:52Sounds great.
00:39:56Do you want to join me?
00:39:57I have to do a story
00:39:58on the animal adoption drive.
00:40:00Oh, yeah.
00:40:01I'd love to.
00:40:08Hey, Parson.
00:40:09Hey, Madison.
00:40:11I wanted to say
00:40:12I had a really nice time today and...
00:40:14Me too.
00:40:15Hey, can I call you back?
00:40:16I'm kind of busy.
00:40:17Um, sure.
00:40:19It's nothing urgent.
00:40:21Okay, bye.
00:40:22Only...
00:40:27that I'm falling for you.
00:40:34This place is pretty fancy, Axel.
00:40:37By the way,
00:40:38are you a fan of chili fries?
00:40:40I'm a fan of any fries
00:40:42and other cuisines.
00:40:44This place serves the tastiest lobster
00:40:46you've ever had.
00:40:47Do you two know
00:40:49what you'd like to order?
00:40:52Chili fries.
00:40:55Sorry.
00:40:55We don't serve that.
00:40:56Yes, of course.
00:40:59Can you give us a minute?
00:41:03We could have went back to Luke's.
00:41:06Madison.
00:41:07Yes, we could have,
00:41:07but this is one of my other favorite places.
00:41:09Anyway,
00:41:11I've noticed you've been carrying a camera around with you a lot.
00:41:15Is photography something that you like?
00:41:17I've been exploring it
00:41:19with a couple of cameras
00:41:20from Mr. Sullivan's yard sale,
00:41:22but honestly,
00:41:24I think it might be something
00:41:26I want to pursue further.
00:41:27I haven't told anyone that.
00:41:31Not even my mom.
00:41:33She's really on my case
00:41:35about college applications.
00:41:37Well, there's plenty of places
00:41:38you can study photography.
00:41:41Yeah, true,
00:41:42but I don't think she'll think
00:41:45it's a real career.
00:41:46She's a realtor with a business degree.
00:41:49She thinks that is the way to go.
00:41:52Yeah,
00:41:53most parents think that going to college
00:41:55and getting a degree solves everything.
00:41:57Maybe it does,
00:41:58maybe it doesn't.
00:42:00But you need to do something
00:42:02that you're passionate about.
00:42:03Otherwise,
00:42:04you'll never stick at it
00:42:05or be great at it.
00:42:09You know,
00:42:10that's totally what I think,
00:42:13but
00:42:13I don't even know
00:42:15if I'm any good at it.
00:42:17I think you'd be a natural.
00:42:19What kind of things
00:42:20do you like capturing?
00:42:21I'm leaning more towards
00:42:23photos of people,
00:42:24like
00:42:25candid shots of
00:42:27whatever they're feeling
00:42:28in that moment.
00:42:31There's
00:42:31something truly beautiful
00:42:33about capturing
00:42:34one's raw emotion.
00:42:36Like
00:42:37capturing a story to be told.
00:42:39Exactly.
00:42:41Like
00:42:42you do with words
00:42:43I want to do with photography.
00:42:47Actually,
00:42:48saying it aloud to you
00:42:49makes it seem
00:42:50possible.
00:42:51You can always tell me anything.
00:43:02It's amazing
00:43:03how many more stars
00:43:04you see out here
00:43:04than in the city.
00:43:07It's so
00:43:08breathtaking.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Never gets old.
00:43:13How about that swim?
00:43:20Ken is out.
00:43:21We've got the pool
00:43:21to ourselves.
00:43:34Everyone in town
00:43:35is talking about
00:43:35the court case
00:43:36with your property.
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:38My uncle is trying
00:43:39to hide the fact
00:43:39that he wants
00:43:40to build condos.
00:43:41That's why
00:43:42he's trying
00:43:43to get this land.
00:43:44He can't build
00:43:45condos here
00:43:46even if he
00:43:47own this property.
00:43:48Actually,
00:43:49nobody can build
00:43:50anything like that
00:43:50on this property.
00:43:52What do you mean?
00:43:53Why can't they?
00:43:55Didn't you know
00:43:56your grandparents' home
00:43:57was recently deemed
00:43:57heritage listed
00:43:58and can't be demolished
00:44:00for any reason?
00:44:01Oh my gosh,
00:44:02is this really true?
00:44:03Yes, I remember
00:44:04reading it
00:44:05one of the Tribune's
00:44:06articles a couple
00:44:06years ago.
00:44:08I'd say that
00:44:09the lawyer and your
00:44:10uncle have no idea
00:44:10about it.
00:44:12Is there any proof
00:44:14I can use?
00:44:15Sure.
00:44:16It's a public record.
00:44:17I could probably
00:44:18dig it up
00:44:18in the archives
00:44:19for you.
00:44:27Gotta love
00:44:27those summer showers.
00:44:28Cheers.
00:44:58Just can't bring myself to give up right now, not this way.
00:45:03Cause I love you and I want to hold you when we're old and great.
00:45:09Oh, but love like this don't come around, don't come around every day.
00:45:20Every day.
00:45:22I've never been quite sure of myself or anyone else, but here I am with you.
00:45:37So I'll put my hesitations on the show.
00:45:43Cause this is what I choose.
00:45:46I'm in a bit of a rush, Mr. Sullivan.
00:45:56You've been busy.
00:45:58You can pick these up in a few hours if you like.
00:46:01Okay, thank you.
00:46:02I know I'm late again.
00:46:24Sorry.
00:46:25You make a guy think he's not that important.
00:46:27I really do appreciate this person.
00:46:32I can't believe my uncle thinks he can do whatever he wants.
00:46:35I'm happy to help.
00:46:43Sorry to interrupt this moment, but here's information you needed.
00:46:50I guess that's all you really wanted from me.
00:46:55Axel, it's not what you think.
00:46:56Is there something going on between the two of you?
00:47:02To be honest, Parson, I thought there was.
00:47:05I mean, we weren't officially dating.
00:47:08It just kind of happened last night.
00:47:12Well, you better go after him.
00:47:15If that's what you want.
00:47:16I can't.
00:47:18I organized a meeting with the sheriff knowing I'd have this information.
00:47:23I can have a word with Axel.
00:47:26Of course, I'd rather be the guy you picked, but...
00:47:30I care enough about you to see you happy.
00:47:36You really are a great guy, Parson.
00:47:39I'll try and find Axel after my meeting.
00:47:42Which I'm going to be late for if I don't go right now.
00:47:45She told me watch your mouth when you're talking like that
00:48:01Before you leave this place and don't come back
00:48:08Would you like anything, Madison?
00:48:11Uh, no, thank you.
00:48:13But here's the information.
00:48:18As you can see, Garner Plantation is heritage listed and cannot be demolished.
00:48:23Nor can the land have commercial structures, like condos.
00:48:26You'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.
00:48:44What 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...
00:48:57I really need to chase down a friend who helped me with this.
00:49:00Sure.
00:49:01Go do what you need to do and consider this done.
00:49:03When you're talking like that
00:49:06Before you leave this place and don't come back
00:49:12Would you mind if I sat near you?
00:49:40Well, I've got spare
00:49:42You know, I found this happiness jar that my grandparents left for me
00:49:50and used to put in daily notes for a year about anything they were happy about.
00:49:56Each 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.
00:50:06But the first time I met you here was from one of those notes.
00:50:10What I'm trying to say is
00:50:14If it wasn't for that jar, we wouldn't have had last night.
00:50:18And 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.
00:50:30But if you're saying that there's nothing with Parson
00:50:35Then, would you officially be my girl?
00:50:47I guess it's a yes.
00:50:50Yes.
00:50:52Oh, and I haven't told you.
00:50:54With your information and Parsons,
00:50:56Sheriff Morissette is going to end this whole legal case over Garner Plantation.
00:50:59And I am the official owner.
00:51:01What?
00:51:03I'm so pleased for you.
00:51:04This is great news.
00:51:17It's been such a crazy day and I'm still rushing around.
00:51:21I 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.
00:51:31But 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.
00:51:39And I can't wait to see your photos.
00:51:41I'm sure what you captured looks great.
00:51:42Mr. Sullivan, how did you like my photos?
00:51:50Madison.
00:51:53What can I say?
00:51:55Your photos showcase such talent.
00:51:57Oh my gosh, really?
00:52:00Each photo tells a small story.
00:52:03And I think this is something you should pursue further.
00:52:05I'm glad to hear you say that because I've only now just considered the possibility of pursuing this as a career.
00:52:14Yes, you should consider that.
00:52:17Look here.
00:52:19The way you capture the light hitting these local heroes.
00:52:23We know without even seeing their faces, they're enjoying a well-earned break.
00:52:27And this one shows the delight and carefree attitude of this young child.
00:52:34Makes you reminisce on your own childhood.
00:52:37It evokes emotions, Madison.
00:52:41Do you have a modern digital camera?
00:52:43No, I don't.
00:52:45I 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.
00:53:22And I'll have a camera ready for you to take as a first-year student.
00:53:29Well, what 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.
00:53:37You've done so much for me already.
00:53:40What do I owe you for developing these?
00:53:43Madison, consider it a favor.
00:53:45If Blanche and Howard were here, they would have assisted you.
00:53:49And I think you coming back here was their gift to you.
00:53:53I have to agree with that, Mr. Sullivan.
00:53:58When I was driving here for the legal meeting,
00:54:01I felt really alone and confused as to what and where I was going.
00:54:06But Westmont seemed to have helped me find my path
00:54:10and learn more about myself.
00:54:14Thank you, Mr. Sullivan.
00:54:16It's my pleasure, Madison.
00:54:23Axel, it's been great having you on the team at Westmont Tribune,
00:54:26and it's been my pleasure to assist you
00:54:28in broadening your horizons into the world of journalism.
00:54:30I appreciate the opportunities you've given me
00:54:33and assisting me in finding part-time college
00:54:35and freelance writing options.
00:54:37Well, I sent some of your material off to a few places.
00:54:40Most responded.
00:54:41Some didn't bother to.
00:54:42However, I found a great balance and opportunity for you.
00:54:46In New York.
00:54:50New York?
00:54:51Yes, I know it's a far cry from here,
00:54:53but you'll not only get to study part-time,
00:54:56you'll have a job placement and a small publication there, too.
00:54:59It's lifestyle-based, so it suits your background from here.
00:55:03Well, you look like you're having second thoughts.
00:55:05I don't have second thoughts about being a journalist.
00:55:09This is a fantastic opportunity, and I really appreciate it.
00:55:12I 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.
00:55:24Now, have a look at this publication.
00:55:29When you go home, you can go online and read more of their content
00:55:32and see the campus you'll be studying part-time.
00:55:33I remember the first day I walked into the Westmont Tribune
00:55:39with my own material.
00:55:41You sent me straight to the copy room,
00:55:43ensuring 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
00:55:51and knowledge going forward.
00:55:53And I want to thank you for that.
00:55:54Well, it's been my pleasure, Axel.
00:55:58And here's the paperwork you must complete
00:56:00by the end of the week to secure your opportunity.
00:56:05Thanks again.
00:56:06When you make it big,
00:56:07don't forget the small folk here at Westmont.
00:56:09My name is Madison Garner,
00:56:34and I've recently been reintroduced
00:56:36to a childhood passion of mine of photography.
00:56:38It began by a seemingly innocent road trip
00:56:41to my grandparents' home where I used to summer.
00:56:47Now that they have left me their home
00:56:48and they're no longer around to talk to,
00:56:50I think I used this gift they left me
00:56:52of a happiness jar filled with their small anecdotes
00:56:56as a backbone to try and find who I am
00:56:58and who I want to become.
00:57:01I don't have any expensive cameras
00:57:03or editing skills for now,
00:57:05but I used a retro 35mm camera
00:57:07and walked around my town,
00:57:09falling in love with not only the art of photography,
00:57:12but many locals too.
00:57:13Getting away from the boys and the town is way cool.
00:57:29Spill it.
00:57:30What's going on with you
00:57:32and the two hottest guys in Westmont?
00:57:34From the surface, I guess it looks like it'd be easy to pick,
00:57:39but honestly, both of them are great guys.
00:57:43Sure.
00:57:44But who?
00:57:46The salt-of-the-earth hottie Axel
00:57:49or the charming, brooding Parson?
00:57:55Actually, I haven't had a chance to tell you,
00:57:58but it's Axel.
00:58:00Woo!
00:58:01I knew you two would be a great match.
00:58:04Okay then.
00:58:05Tell me all the juicy details about Axel.
00:58:08You see, my grandparents left me this jar
00:58:17filled with these little notes
00:58:18about what they were happy about.
00:58:21I began to read some of them
00:58:24and the ones that seemed to resonate with me,
00:58:27I went and visited the places
00:58:29and that's how I first met Axel at Alpine Lake.
00:58:32Oh, I like the idea about this jar.
00:58:36Maybe I'll start one.
00:58:38Yeah, exactly.
00:58:40A happiness jar.
00:58:42So, do you have a whole jar
00:58:44full of small notes saying,
00:58:46Axel, Axel, Axel?
00:58:49No.
00:58:52Actually, Kenna,
00:58:54it's been an emotional tug on me being here.
00:59:00You seem so happy.
00:59:02Yeah, I am now,
00:59:05but I was really lost
00:59:08and had no idea where I was going.
00:59:13I left to get away from college choices,
00:59:16the messy divorce of my parents' baggage
00:59:18over the years,
00:59:19and I just felt really alone.
00:59:24I can relate.
00:59:25You'd think with social media and phones,
00:59:29we'd feel more connected.
00:59:32but
00:59:33sometimes I feel alone,
00:59:37especially when no one understands
00:59:40how hard it is
00:59:41to make these decisions
00:59:43or
00:59:44what we really go through.
00:59:46maybe that's the answer, Madison.
00:59:51Seeing what you have
00:59:53more than what you don't have.
00:59:56Yeah,
00:59:57I like that.
00:59:58I can never be lonely
01:00:05if you put your hand in mine.
01:00:09I can never be lonely
01:00:11if you walk with me this time.
01:00:15I can never be lonely
01:00:17I can't believe I finally got rid of my uncle's greedy paws off my beautiful home.
01:00:39Your grandparents from time to time spoke about you
01:00:44and I always wondered what you'd be like
01:00:47but never thought we'd actually meet.
01:00:49I never thought I'd come back to this town
01:00:52after being away for so long
01:00:53but
01:00:54I guess sometimes you just have to take that turn in the road
01:00:58and fear it takes you.
01:00:59There is 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, Kenna.
01:01:14If you walk with me this time
01:01:16I can never be lonely
01:01:19If you promise you won't leave me alone
01:01:23Wanna know some town gossip?
01:01:41Not really.
01:01:42I think, Madison, you'd be interested in this bit of town gossip.
01:01:48It kind of involves you.
01:01:50Me?
01:01:52I heard Sheriff Morris in our store
01:01:55ask your mom out on a date.
01:01:58What?
01:01:59Are you sure?
01:02:00My mom, 5'4", brunette and slightly bossy.
01:02:05My mom?
01:02:06Yep, that's Karen.
01:02:09I'd like to be a fly on the wall
01:02:10to see your mom tell you about her date.
01:02:12Have you met her mom?
01:02:15No, but we're all painting tomorrow and he'll meet her then.
01:02:19Did you hear when this date is?
01:02:20I think tonight.
01:02:23I guess that kind of makes sense.
01:02:25They already know each other from years ago.
01:02:27Well, seeing that your mom's out tonight, do you want to see a movie?
01:02:35Sorry, Axel.
01:02:36It's a girls' night tonight at Skarner Residence.
01:02:38Okay, okay, I know when I'm not wanted.
01:02:42Am I to presume that's the end of your gossip session?
01:02:48Actually, I think I should tell you, Axel, that Jessica is back.
01:02:57Okay, guys, what's going on?
01:03:03Who's Jessica?
01:03:07She's my ex.
01:03:09Oh.
01:03:10I'll give you two a minute.
01:03:15I only told you not to make you uncomfortable, Madison, but to warn Axel.
01:03:22I was there for Axel when she heard him.
01:03:28Sorry.
01:03:28I just care about both of you.
01:03:33I'll go unpack my stuff.
01:03:36Meet her at the house.
01:03:47Madison.
01:03:48I can only imagine what's going through your mind.
01:03:51I want you to know that I have no feelings for her.
01:03:55It's in the past.
01:03:56Yeah, I understand.
01:04:00We all have our exes, but we've only just started our relationship.
01:04:07I guess I never thought about your exes here.
01:04:12I'd say Kenner is just as confused as me as to why she's back.
01:04:16She left Westmont because she despised living in a small town.
01:04:21Well, speaking of leaving town,
01:04:24we 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.
01:04:35I know I should be applying to other places, but if I don't get in there, I'll stay here for a year, put together a bigger folio, and reapply.
01:04:45I haven't told anyone this.
01:04:47Wow, that's fantastic.
01:04:48I'm really pleased that you found your passion, and it must be fate, because I've just decided to accept an offer of New York City for journalism.
01:05:01That's what I was trying to tell you.
01:05:02Can you imagine if both of us go to New York City?
01:05:06Well, 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.
01:05:19I've had a new American dream
01:05:21I thought we could both do some change
01:05:29A newer perspective to see
01:05:34How life looked in a different lane
01:05:39But here in your arms I can't leave now
01:05:44You ladies have gone above and beyond
01:05:50Everything looks and smells delicious
01:05:52Uh, Mom, I'd like to introduce you to Axel, my boyfriend
01:05:57It's nice to meet you, Axel. I've heard all fine things about you
01:06:01It's nice to meet you too, Miss Garner
01:06:03Call me Karen. That's too formal
01:06:06This has got to be the tastiest breakfast I've ever eaten
01:06:11Mmm, I'm hooked on these waffles
01:06:14Madison made the waffles
01:06:16Come on, guys. This house ain't gonna paint itself
01:06:29So, you're coming to the end of Summer Lake Party, right?
01:06:39Axel mentioned it. What's it like?
01:06:41It's a Westmont, end of summer tradition
01:06:44Alpine Lake gets taken over by locals
01:06:47Wanting to kick back, drink, swim, dance
01:06:50And have a good time
01:06:52Sounds like fun
01:06:53Hey, have you seen Parson recently?
01:06:59Why?
01:07:00I haven't seen him since I told him about Axel
01:07:03And I was hoping we could still be friends
01:07:06He's fine about you and Axel
01:07:09It's not like you were dating more than a minute
01:07:12But if I know Parson, you probably needed some downtime
01:07:16I'd say you're the first girl to say no to him
01:07:21Do you think he'll be at the lake party?
01:07:26Yeah, probably
01:07:27I'll catch up with him then
01:07:29I finished the upstairs windows
01:07:37What's next?
01:07:39We're nearly finished with the pickets too
01:07:41The three of us could paint the shed doors
01:07:43We were just talking about the lake party
01:07:46My sister told me there's going to be a DJ this year
01:07:50Sweet!
01:07:52I look forward to this party every year
01:07:54Jessica
01:08:01What brings you back here?
01:08:04Nothing really
01:08:05Just felt like catching up with some people
01:08:07I walked around the farm but couldn't see Axel
01:08:09Is he here?
01:08:10Why would you want to see Axel?
01:08:12You made it quite clear you didn't want Axel or this town
01:08:15You make it sound so cold
01:08:16You can't just use people like that
01:08:18And you're not worthy of my brother
01:08:20You got that?
01:08:23Stay clear of him, Jessica
01:08:24He's been through enough and
01:08:26We don't need
01:08:27Your trouble around here
01:08:30That's the past
01:08:31I just want to catch up with him
01:08:32Well, he's not here
01:08:34He's with his girlfriend
01:08:35Girlfriend?
01:08:37I really don't think you should be speaking with Axel
01:08:40Everyone deserves a second chance
01:08:43Only if their intention's insincere
01:08:45Like I said
01:08:47He's not
01:08:49Here
01:08:50We haven't talked in a while
01:09:00We've been friends a long time
01:09:03It's cool you came today
01:09:06As I wanted to say that I'm sorry about
01:09:08I know
01:09:09I know, Axel
01:09:12You're not the type of guy
01:09:16To move in on another guy's girl
01:09:18Like my brother did to you
01:09:20I mean
01:09:24We only went on one date and
01:09:25You two connected more
01:09:28Don't worry, Axel
01:09:32We're cool
01:09:35We're cool
01:09:35I heard Jessica's back
01:09:41Have you seen her?
01:09:44I haven't seen her, but
01:09:46I've heard the gossip
01:09:48If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself
01:09:58Hold up, Kay
01:10:00I need to inspect your painting skills
01:10:03Hmm
01:10:07Hmm
01:10:10Gee
01:10:13I don't know
01:10:15I think you might have missed a few spots
01:10:18Here
01:10:20And here
01:10:21And here
01:10:22And here
01:10:22You're taking me back
01:10:24To the sleepless nights
01:10:26Phone calls and candlelight
01:10:29Those were the things I like to know
01:10:32Back when we were ties and up in school
01:10:36It's been our summer time
01:10:38Talking about what we did when we were gone
01:10:43But those were the days
01:10:45You're taking me back
01:10:51You're taking me back
01:10:53When the world was smaller
01:10:57And everything was ours
01:10:59You're taking me back
01:11:01You're taking me back
01:11:04When everything moves slower
01:11:07You're taking me back to better days
01:11:11I still remember weekend trips
01:11:23Late night drive to our favorite hits
01:11:26Burning through a mixed CD we made
01:11:30Just a couple kids
01:11:33Nowhere to be
01:11:34Taking time from making memories
01:11:36Living life like we were runaways
01:11:40Yeah
01:11:41Those were the days
01:11:46You're taking me back
01:11:48You're taking me back
01:11:51When the world was smaller
01:11:54And everything was ours
01:11:57You're taking me back
01:11:58You're taking me back
01:12:01When everything moves slower
01:12:05You're taking me back to better days
01:12:10You're taking me back
01:12:11You're taking me back
01:12:12You're taking me back
01:12:12You're taking me back
01:12:12You're taking me back
01:12:13You're taking me back
01:12:13You're taking me back
01:12:14You're taking me back
01:12:14You're taking me back
01:12:15You're taking me back
01:12:15You're taking me back
01:12:16You're taking me back
01:12:16You're taking me back
01:12:17You're taking me back
01:12:17You're taking me back
01:12:18You're taking me back
01:12:19You're taking me back
01:12:19You're taking me back
01:12:20You're taking me back
01:12:21You're taking me back
01:12:22You're taking me back
01:12:23You're taking me back
01:12:24You're taking me back
01:12:25You're taking me back
01:12:26You're taking me back
01:12:27You're taking me back
01:12:28You're taking me back
01:12:29You're taking me back
01:12:30You're taking me back
01:12:31You're taking me back
01:12:32You're taking me back
01:12:33Axel!
01:12:45Sorry I missed your calls.
01:12:46There was no service on the country delivery.
01:12:49That's okay.
01:12:50You're here now.
01:12:52I'm totally thrilled to tell you that
01:12:55I'll be catching a plane in New York City with you.
01:12:59No way.
01:13:00Really?
01:13:01Yes.
01:13:01Yes, I got accepted into the New York Photography College.
01:13:05I start in a week.
01:13:07This couldn't have worked out any better if we tried.
01:13:11I can't believe it.
01:13:13We're both going to be going to New York City.
01:13:16I know.
01:13:17We have to find a place to live.
01:13:20I already have a place lined up.
01:13:21The magazine has apartments where employees can rent via a management company.
01:13:25Do you think we should live together?
01:13:28Why not?
01:13:29Well, I don't know.
01:13:33I don't want to put too much pressure on our relationship.
01:13:37I kind of agree.
01:13:39This is totally new for me too, but...
01:13:42Everything just seems to be falling into place right now.
01:13:45We don't know anyone else in this city, so...
01:13:48I think we should live together.
01:13:50See how it goes.
01:13:51I think it's going to be great with you.
01:13:56It's all the same.
01:14:06Some things may have changed.
01:14:09I couldn't stop and say enough.
01:14:13It's all the same.
01:14:14But you won't take blame.
01:14:16I can't believe Axel.
01:14:18You're off to New York City?
01:14:20Thanks, how dearest Madison.
01:14:22I know.
01:14:22It feels like a dream.
01:14:24When I first got here, I had no idea what I was doing.
01:14:27My folks own a place in New York.
01:14:30They use it for business.
01:14:32Therefore, don't worry, Kay.
01:14:33We'll visit them.
01:14:35Woo-hoo!
01:14:36Sounds like a party in NYC.
01:14:39It's going to be strange having a job in the city and studying.
01:14:43No farms, no chores.
01:14:45It's a total contrast.
01:14:47I think you'll do great, Axel.
01:14:49I think you'll be surprised how much you like contrast.
01:14:53When do you start college, Parson?
01:14:55Just under two weeks.
01:14:58Guys, it's going to make me sad.
01:15:05I'm going to be the only one here.
01:15:07Yeah, but you'll be busy here if you're studying.
01:15:10And we'll be back for Thanksgiving.
01:15:12Let's make plans to come home for Thanksgiving.
01:15:15Then party in the Big Apple for New Year's.
01:15:18I'll be doing that.
01:15:19Me too.
01:15:20Well, that's only a few months away.
01:15:22I'm down.
01:15:23I'm going to grab a soda.
01:15:25Anyone want?
01:15:25I'll have one.
01:15:26I'm good.
01:15:27No thanks.
01:15:33Two sodas, please.
01:15:37Hey, Axel.
01:15:39It's great to see you.
01:15:41How's it going, Jessica?
01:15:43It's great.
01:15:44Just came back with Nathan to see his family, but I haven't stopped thinking about you.
01:15:48Jessica, it's the past.
01:15:52I have a girlfriend.
01:15:54Oh, that boppy girl that's standing near you?
01:15:58That girl is called Madison.
01:16:00And I really need to get back to her.
01:16:02Hey, wait.
01:16:03I know I hurt you, but can't we at least just talk?
01:16:09We share a history together.
01:16:24Are you okay?
01:16:27Where's Axel?
01:16:28I'll tell you where Axel is.
01:16:30He's kissing some girl.
01:16:33Shit.
01:16:34That's Jessica.
01:16:36Jessica is X.
01:16:39I'm sorry.
01:16:40Guys, I'm just going to go home.
01:16:45Hang on.
01:16:47We 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.
01:16:56I...
01:16:57I need to go.
01:17:00Hold on.
01:17:01I'll go with you.
01:17:02Where's everyone?
01:17:28What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:17:29Why are you going to think Jessica when you've got someone as cool as Madison?
01:17:34Did Madison see?
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:37She said she saw you kissing a girl, and Parson recognized her.
01:17:41What's going on?
01:17:43Kenner, you know me.
01:17:45I wouldn't do anything to hurt Madison.
01:17:48Jessica was all over me like a rash.
01:17:50She 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.
01:17:58She's really hurt.
01:18:01Where is she now?
01:18:04Parson took her home.
01:18:08Parson?
01:18:10Don't start getting off of Parson's case.
01:18:13I'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,
01:18:21you should be explaining yourself to her.
01:18:23What do you think you're doing?
01:18:38You just can't keep your grubby little jealous hands off my brother.
01:18:41You just love the drama, don't you?
01:18:44Four on the farm every day and obsessing over my life.
01:18:48I warned you, Jessica.
01:18:51Get over yourself.
01:18:53Who 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.
01:19:05Now, let me give you a warning.
01:19:14If you ever touch me or do anything like this ever again,
01:19:21or if I even hear you talking about me,
01:19:23I will make sure that I take you down.
01:19:27And I'm not messing around.
01:19:29You don't, you don't scare me, Jessica.
01:19:33That's a real shame, Paige.
01:19:35You really should be scared.
01:19:45Do you want anything to eat or drink or...
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...
01:20:00I can't believe he would do this to me.
01:20:03If I know Jessica,
01:20:05there's got to be more to the story.
01:20:09And I didn't see them kissing when I looked over.
01:20:13Okay, you have to talk to Axel.
01:20:25What the hell do you think you're doing, Parson?
01:20:27You're just like your brother.
01:20:28Take it down a notch.
01:20:30I am nothing like my brother.
01:20:33And I am on your side.
01:20:36I was just telling Madison she needs to talk to you.
01:20:41This is where I exit.
01:20:45I just want to get her home safely.
01:20:49We should go, Parson.
01:20:50I don't even know if I want to hear what you're going to say.
01:21:10I'm not denying that she didn't kiss me, Madison.
01:21:13She did.
01:21:16But that's all you saw.
01:21:19As soon as she kissed me, I pushed back from it.
01:21:23I don't know.
01:21:25I know what I saw.
01:21:26You didn't look too defensive to me.
01:21:28I can only imagine what you saw.
01:21:33What's going on in your mind.
01:21:35But I promise you, I did not kiss her back.
01:21:39I'm not interested in her.
01:21:42And I'm really upset knowing that you're this hurt.
01:21:49I don't know what to say for you to believe that what you saw was only part of what happened.
01:21:54But I know that you're important to me.
01:21:58Is being important enough?
01:22:01Yes, it is.
01:22:06I was going to decline going to New York if you didn't get in.
01:22:14It's not every day that you meet someone that you truly connect with.
01:22:21I want to get to know you more.
01:22:25I want to explore New York City with you.
01:22:28I want to get up in the morning and know that the first person's smile I want to see is there.
01:22:38We may not have history like Jessica and I or any of your exes, but that's what's thrilling.
01:22:47We're about to experience that together and I don't know if this sounds crazy or too quick.
01:22:55But I've got nothing to lose in this moment.
01:22:58Madison.
01:23:02I actually love you.
01:23:05It doesn't sound crazy.
01:23:07I love you too.
01:23:08I never believed that going to Westmont would significantly change my life.
01:23:26To the sweet idea of a happiness jar my grandparents left me.
01:23:30Welcome back to New York, Mr. Yates.
01:23:53How long will you stay this time?
01:23:55As long as it takes.
01:23:59This past year in New York City, I started my own happiness jar.
01:24:04Writing down each day whatever I was happy for.
01:24:07No matter how tough days got.
01:24:09We're off to the Hamptons for a romantic getaway.
01:24:21And who knows?
01:24:22Someone could find this and it could change their destiny as much as it magically did mine.
01:24:27Right where we believe it.
01:24:30Right where we believe it.
01:24:34Right where we believe it.
