My Secret Valentine Page #2

---

go check out the cabin.

We could catch up on the way.

Yeah, I haven't, uh...

I haven't been out there

since my mom died.

Oh, that was

so thoughtless of me.

No, it's OK.

It's silly of me to pretend

like it doesn't exist.

I'll drive.

I'm so glad to see you!

What's it been, like--

- Almost a year.

- Yeah!

- I know. I'm so glad

to see you too.

- Wow. Well, we have

a whole drive for you to catch

me up on all the handsome men

in your life.

- Oh, OK. Well, that's gonna

take us to the end of the

driveway because there are none.

(Leanne):
Here we are.

Just like you remember it?

(Chloe):
Yeah, it was

my mom's favourite place.

We had a repairman

start work on the cabin,

but he got called away

on another job.

So it's not perfect,

but... it's getting there.

Wow. We used to spend

so much time out here.

She liked to call it

"our mother-daughter retreat."

Well, if it

makes you feel better,

it won't be sitting empty.

- What do you mean?

Well, with everyone

coming in for the Festival

and this place being so cute,

your dad suggested we post it

on a home rental site.

Really? Huh. I guess he didn't

like the idea

of it sitting empty either.

I advertised it as rustic

and someone snapped it up.

- Even though it needs repairs?

- Yeah. I sent

the tenant a message

through the rental site,

telling them that it still

needed a little bit of work,

but they were fine with it.

I hope you're OK

with someone staying here?

No, you know what, Leanne?

It's a good idea.

I'll grab a bag.

Look, I'll take care

of everything so you won't

have to be bothered at all.

- Thank you.

I'm glad someone else

can enjoy it.

Uh...

- Ooh...

We'll add that to the list.

Now, it's... broken.

(soft music)

"Welcome... to...

"our cabin.

"Things will get repaired soon.

"I promise.

In the meantime, enjoy!

It may not be perfect,

but it's home."

Chloe!

I heard you were here.

Hi, Daddy! Oh!

- Hi, sweetheart!

- Hi.

Was your boss OK

with you leaving?

Yeah, she actually

insisted on it.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

You should work somewhere

where you're valued.

- I should.

- How's the car running?

- It's running fine, Dad.

Good, good.

You're just in time

to help me set up for dinner.

Everyone's gonna

be so excited to see you.

You are staying for dinner,

right? You don't have

to turn around

and rush back to work?

I'm here for the whole week.

I wanna hear your big news.

What's going on?

Well, I'll get to it,

but you have to give a dad

a chance to enjoy

having his daughter home

for a moment.

- It's good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Many years ago,

my lovely wife Linda
