Love Locks Page #3

his father was

in the hotel business here.

And...?

And... nothing.

I went back to college,

he said he would follow me,

and he didn't.

And that's it?

We called, we wrote.

Time passed,

life happened.

I met your dad,

and you know the rest.

You were in love.

Mom, this is fate!

No, this is Hugo,

meddling,

like the old days.

The love locks!

Wow, there are so many now.

Ah! All that love!

It's beautiful.

They're all rusted.

Which means they lasted.

Ah, the sound

of texting

in the morning.

You're awake.

And you're smiling,

which means it must be a boy.

It's JP.

Oh, "JP."

Yesterday, it was "Jean Paul."

That was yesterday.

Would it be okay if he took me

to the university

to register for classes?

Oh.

I thought I was

going to do that.

It's just,

he's registering, too,

and he can show me around.

- I'll tell him no.

- Wait, wait, wait.

Tell him yes.

You sure?

Yeah, you should go meet

some other students.

I love you, mom.

I love you, too, Lex.

Have fun.

Au revoir!

Merci.

Hey!

Just saw Alexa ride off

on the back

of JP's scooter.

They looked like

they were having fun...

Jack!

Oh, calm down,

he's a great driver.

Like you were?

You're talking about

that one wrong turn I made?

Up that one-way street?

Yeah, we went... one way,

and the traffic was all going

the other way.

Here, I brought you

your crossword.

Oh. Quite the host.

Yeah, that I am.

You mind if I join you?

Thank you.

Hey, so, uh, what are you

painting these days?

My nails?

I'm not really

painting anymore.

What?

Why? That's terrible.

I have an art magazine.

It's only in New York,

but we have

a nice little following.

Oh.

Well, that's great.

Yeah, thanks.

It's not what I planned,

but it's worked out well.

Yeah, well,

life is what happens

when you're making plans.

We both know that.

How's your father?

He's good.

He, uh, he took over

a hotel in nice.

With my niece.

Nice.

Niece.

Listen, I-I...

I just wanted to say

I'm sorry about, uh...

About everything...

It's okay...

No listen, I-I just

want to say,

you know my father

wanted me to stay behind,

help run the business.

I was going

to come and visit,

but then, you know,

a lot of time

had passed, and...

Seriously,

it's okay.

I don't even know

what we were thinking.

Well, we weren't thinking,

we were in love.

We were young.

Actually, I think

the problem was

you knocking that lock

out of my hands.

Oh!

Oh, as I recall,

your hands were a little shaky.

Yeah, well, it was

freezing outside.

It's okay,

we didn't really believe

in that lock stuff anyway.

Actually,

they cut off all the locks

off of our bridge.

What?

Yeah, in fact,

they cut the locks

off of all the Bridges

all over Paris.

I just saw them last night.

Except for Pont Neuf.

You know, those Bridges

date back to Napoleon,

and all the weight

from all the locks

on all the railings

were causing them

to collapse,

and it was becoming a hazard.

Huh.

The hazard of love.

Pont Neuf is the last one,

and then all of Paris

will be love-lock-less.

Oh, Mrs. Daltry.

I don't know

if you've met Lindsey.

Not officially.

I'm Kathryn.

Kathryn, so nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you,

Lindsey.

I didn't realize

you two were together.

Oh, we're not.

Well, we were...

We're not.

I see.

Well, I won't keep you two.

Enjoy your day.

Oh, no, no, no, please,

uh, Mrs. Daltry,

I actually, uh,

I have to go back to work.

Thank you

for the crossword.

Not a problem.

And... 2 down

is "artichoke."

Please, Kathryn,

join me.

Thank you.

Jack's turned this

into such a charming place

over the years.

When my husband and i

first stayed here...

Merci.

It was just

a hole in the wall.

Oh, when was that?

Our honeymoon, 40 years ago.

Whoa.

Are you back to celebrate?

No. He died.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

It's been two years now.

We would come here

every anniversary.

This is

my first time back since.

I thought if I could just,

I don't know,

see everything again,

I could hold on to the memories.

That sounds silly,

I know.

It doesn't sound silly at all.

It sounds like you had

a wonderful marriage.

We did.

You know, I'm visiting

a friend today,

who has an art studio.

Sort of an artist/meddler.

Would you care to join?

Well, I wouldn't want

to intrude...

Oh, trust me,

he is "un-intrudable."

Sounds intriguing.

I'd love to.

I love it already!

Come on, I'll

show you the dorms.

You're in the best one.

Okay.

The art department

is over there.

And the math department?

Just across the way.

We can wave to each other

through the windows!

So your mother

went here?

Yeah, a semester abroad,

just like me,

but I cannot believe

she never came back!

Well, she's here

now, though.

Yeah, she is.

Come on.

Lindsey! Mon coeur.

Hugo blanchett,

this is Kathryn Daltry.

Kathryn, this is Hugo.

Ah, mon plaisir, madame.

How do you do?

Your work is incredible.

Oh, well, thank you,

thank you.

Half the people who come here

think the opposite.

Well, it's the other half

you should listen to.

Well, I wish

you were an art critic.

You're not, huh?

No, just a tourist.

Oh, I doubt that.

How you like your hotel?

Uh, you could have

mentioned it's Jack's.

What would be the fun in that?

Oh, you never change.

I hear he's single.

Stay out of it, Hugo.

Madame, how long

are you in town?

Just a few days.

Ah, yes...

Enough for me

to paint you.

Well, no...

I couldn't...

Oh...

Give me

one reason.

Well, I'm sure I could

give you several.

Hugo, maybe

another time...

Ah, ah, ah!

How many times I told you,

seize the moment.

The moment is now,

carpe diem...

Ah?

It would be...

An honor.

Just a quick sketch, hmm?

S'il vous plait?

Well, I suppose

that would be all right.

Yes. Lindsey, go gesso

the canvas, please?

Oh, I haven't

done that in...

In 20 years, I know.

She was my best student.

He's prone

to exaggeration...

Well, we'll never know,

'cause you quit!

If you've forgotten,

it's the brush, the paint,

it's all coming back

to you now?

Yes, maestro.

Now...

You have a sadness

in your eyes.

And a joy.

I'll try to catch both.

Hmm?

Coming!

Wow.

These are for you.

Thank you.

You shouldn't have.

I didn't.

They're from... "Trent Greer"?

Thank you.

I thought you were

allergic to roses.

Not anymore.

Are you...

Waiting for a tip?

No. Nope, I'm good.

Okay.

Well then, thank you.

Yeah, don't mention it!

Ah, Lindsey,

I was hoping to see you.

Won't you join me?

How was your sitting

with Hugo?

He's very opinionated.

He is.

And demanding.

That too.

He wouldn't

show me the sketch.

And he won't,

not until he's finished.

Are you going back?

No, I don't

think so,

but thank you

for the introduction.

I mean, if things

were different, perhaps, but...

I don't think

I should have come back here.

Hmm.

I've had those same thoughts,

and if it weren't

for my daughter,

I probably wouldn't have.

You fell in love in Paris.

A long time ago.
