My Secret Valentine Page #8

---

- Oh, hey!

- Hey, it's my dad!

- Why don't you take him

some champagne?

- All right.

I'll be there

in a sec, all right?

OK. Dad!

Congratulations are in order.

Did Seth say something?

Did he say what?

What... what are we

talking about?

We won the tasting

competition. We won!

Oh, great! Congratulations!

Thank you!

Wait. What were you

talking about?

Look, I...

(Truman sighing)

Chloe... ahem.

I... I wanted to put this off

until tomorrow.

OK. Dad, you're scaring me.

What's going on?

I've been thinking

about the sale.

I don't think

I have another option.

Maybe you do.

Dad, what if I

took over the winery?

What would you think about that?

Chloe, I don't

want you to give up

everything you've

been working towards.

You have a good job in Portland.

Maggie just offered me

a partnership.

There you go.

You can't do both.

You should do the thing that...

makes you wanna spring out of

bed, excited to start the day.

That is exactly

how I feel here.

I think I had to go away

and experience

all that other stuff

so that I could come back and I

could appreciate all of this.

I want to run the winery.

Give it to me, not some company!

(Truman sighing)

I know I haven't always

been present, but Dad,

I'm here now.

This is a part of me.

Chloe...

you have no idea

how happy it makes me

to hear you say this.

If you'd only said it

a little earlier...

Don't say that.

I signed the contracts.

What?

Hey, guys!

Free hot toddies

for the winners!

Why wouldn't you tell me?

- What?

- No. It's...

it's not his fault, Chloe.

I... I wanted

to tell you, but this wasn't

the right time or place.

"Not his fault"?! If you

hadn't come into town,

none of this

would have happened!

Chloe, why are you so upset?

This is great for everyone.

You know what? If you don't

understand it by now, I...

Wow, you are just...

You are an even better salesman

than I thought.

Congratulations.

You got everything you wanted.

Chloe...

Chloe!

(both sighing)

I'm sorry, Truman.

Hi Maggie, it's Chloe.

Listen, I just wanted to s...

I wanted to say thank you

for your offer, but...

I'm gonna have to say no.

You need someone

who's gonna give you 100%,

and... that's not me.

My place is here in the Valley.

I... I don't belong in Portland,

so... I hope you can understand,

and... thank you for everything.

Hey.

I was just, um...

I just turned down

the job offer.

I'm sure you can

call her back and explain.

I don't want to.

(sighing)

I'll...

work here, or get a...

a job at another winery. I...

I don't know.

But I do know...

I do know

this is where I belong.

This...

This is my home.

I'm sorry if...

if I let you down.

You didn't.

You didn't.

You just...

You pushed me

to be honest with myself.

Will I always feel this way?

(Truman sighing)

Will I always feel this way?

Finding what makes you happy

isn't always easy.

(sentimental music)

(sighing)

(ticking)

(sighing)

He's Handyman.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

OK, Chloe, you're never

gonna believe it.

I was hungry but I

was sick of all the food

at the festival, so I

stopped by that little cafe...

- I want you to have it.

- What?

Yeah, we have to keep it in

town. I can't take it with me.

[I was talking to Nancy,]

[the waitress

at the Cornerstone Cafe.]

I know who Handyman is!

In fact...

I'm with him right now.

- You are?! Where?

- [Right here at the cafe!]

OK. Stall him. Just...

do whatever you have to do.

I'm on my way.

Don't you wanna know

who he is?

I blocked Seth's car!

Huh? You said "stall"!

Good job.

- Chloe?

- Hey, Handyman!

You forgot something.

I left it on purpose.

But... I thought

this contract was your purpose.

(sighing)

It was...

until I found something

more important than business.

You did?

(sighing)

You, Chloe.

Your passion

is infectious.

You make me wanna

be a better person,

find something more fulfilling.

I had more fun

being your Handyman

in your middle-of-nowhere

quiet cabin

than I ever did in the city.

Don't sell to Stratosphere...

or to anyone else,

for that matter. You should

run the winery. You know it

better than anybody else.

That's...

that's, of course, if you...

if you want to.

That's one

of the things I want.

So...

what's the other thing?

Well, maybe it's

a good question for Handyman.

What do you think Handyman

would advise us to do right now?

This.

(romantic music)

I was secretly hoping

it was you all along.
