"Hello. My name is Travis.

"I saw your profile & was moved when you wrote.

"I understand shat it's like to feel alone.

"My wife passed away years ago,

"and I haven't felt connected to anyone since.

"How awful it must be to have someone

"and not to feel appreciated by them.

"I found myself touched by your situation,

"and I was compelled to write to you .

"I hope you'll take a chance and write me back,

and we can get to know one another better"

Yes, I'll pick her up this afternoon.

You ready to start the day?

I am know.

Yeah.

Hi, honey.

I've been thinking about you .

You need to eat breakfast before you leave in the morning.

Okay, look, why don't we make you some pancakes?

Wait, last time you made pancakes, you burned them.

Morning, dad.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Mmm.

Is that decaf?

Can you taste caffeine?

Ugh!

Hey, dad, uh, can you come talk to my film class?

They love it if a big producer came.

Sorry, sweetie. I'm swamped

But I could get my assistant to help me find someone, though.

Never mind.

Okay, I have an idea.

How about the three of us go put to eat dinner tonight

At that cute, little place i the marina?

I can't make it, babe. I've got a screening tonight.

Again?

What can I say? The studio needs their cut.

When do I get mine?

Bye.

Keys.

Don't forget your keys.

Don't wait up.

I've got to give notes, all right?

I'll talk to you.

Notes?

Notes, huh.

"Dear Jean, I'm so glad you wrote back.

"I have to say, I'm so impressed --

"A romance novelist.

"How intriguing.

"I wanted to thank you for your kind words.

"They meant so much to be.

"Just hearing from you made my dad.

"No pressure, but I could love to meet you one of these days.

I cannot wait to hear back from you."

Tell me about your mystery man on the internet.

In your mind, is it getting serous between the two of you?

Yes.

Does that frighten you?

Yes.

And I feel guilty.

But it also feels exciting, and I love it.

I mean, I matter to him,

And I haven't mattered to anybody in a really long time.

Though I don't condone your infidelity --

Oh! Whoa!

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Infidelity?

We haven't even met yet.

Let me finish.

Whatever you want to call it,

I'm glad to see you with a smile on your face for a chance.

Oh. Okay.

Well, I can take care of the rest of this stuff.

You sure you don't need me to do anything else for you?

Dry cleaning?

Oh...no.

Appointment setting? No.

Banking?

No.

You know, Jean being your assistant

is not that tough a job.

I almost feel bad taking tour money.

Maybe you shouldn't.

I said almost.

See, ya.

Bye.

Have a good day.

Hi.

Tough day at the office, Carla.

Oh, she is a slave driver.

Well, I got news for you.

You're lucky you're not my assistant.

Yeah, no kidding.

Have a good day!

You too.

Holly...

We have known each other for years.

Why do you still ring the doorbell?

Because I'm polite.

Since when?

Okay, so I likr to make an entrance.

That's more like it.

Want a chocolate?

Hey, you know me better than that.

How's that book coming alone?

Yeah, um...

Oh!

Oh.

Yeah.

What do you have that's new?

This.

That's impressive.

Well...

You know, I'm just a little... blocked .

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, speaking of being blocked,

how was it this morning?

Oh.

Oh, give me a break, Jean!

It makes me so angry

to think that you haven't had an orgasm

since Bush Sr, was in the White House.

Don't want to talk about my sex life any more.

Then hand me a chocolate.

Okay.

Oh.

Any new developments with our sexy widower?

He sent a picture.

Come on. Let me see. Okay.

Oh. Oh.

So, he wants to meet. Hmm.

Yeah.

Hmm.

That doesn't mean I'm going to go.

I know you're gonna go.

I was wondering what you're gonna be wearing.

No, I -- I'm gonna go to the premiere with my husband.

Sure you are.

Well, that's assuming he wants to go, and...

Well, he might.

Okay. Let's see.

I can save you that phone call.

Give me a double.

Who is it? It's your wife.

L.et it ring. She can't talk to my machine

Yeah, but -- Just do it, will you?

No, not right now.

All right.

Sure.

Wow.

He's not even taking my calls.

What a shocker.

Circular file. Yep.

Hmm, oh, hey!

Hello.

Hey.

Hey! How's school?

Same as yesterday -- Mind-Numbering.

That's because you're so smart.

Hey!

Hi!

All right.

So, I got to get back to the office.

Why don't you try to knock yourself out

and write another line on that mauscript ?

Bye.

Working hard? Oh, teah.

Oh, listen, listen

It's just the two of us again tonight.

So what do you want to do for dinner?

Oh. You are on your own.

Beth and I and Kristen are gonna go see a movie at the mall.

I just thought I'd grab something there.

But I could always stay if you want.

No. No, no, no, no.

Thanks, mom.

You go and have a good time.

Don't talk to strangers.

Oh, never do.

Hey, come by 10:00.

Yeah, righ.

No, I mean it.

That's okay.

"Travis, it was so good to hear from you again.

"I can't thank you enough for your sweet words.

"It's been so long since someone has spoken to me like that.

"I hope you know what a difference you've made in me.

"Just knowing that someone simply wants to hear from me--
