Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport.

You wouldn't happen to know the owner,

would you?

I sure don't. Can't help you there.

You got our lunch?

MADDIE:

Katie! You got the chief's order?

- Sorry it took so long.

RHETT:
- Oh, no problem at all.

- Can I help you?

- Oh! Ooh.

Oh! Uh... You scared me.

Uh... I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be snooping. Um...

I wish I had a good excuse,

but it's just idle curiosity.

You're the first neighbor

I've had out here in ages.

Yeah, my Realtor said

I didn't have close neighbors.

Oh, well, I'm not close by city standards.

I'm Jo, by the way.

- Katie.

- Nice to meet you. Um...

Look, I moved out here

same reason as you, I think.

To get some peace and quiet,

so I get it if you just...

Yeah, I like the fact

that I can hear myself think.

Yes, thank you.

I mean, isn't it so nice to be away

from all that noise and that chatter?

(CHUCKLES) I mean, it can be a little bit

deafening sometimes, so it is...

...it is nice to meet somebody

as rustically inclined as I am.

- Yeah. OK.

- All right, well, it was nice to meet you.

- Yeah, you too.

- I'm down the road if you need anything.

I'm stronger than I look.

So, if you get in any trouble...

- OK.

- OK, I'm sorry again.

- It's OK.

- OK.

- Walk safe.

- Thank you.

All right.

How many stops are on your route

from here to Atlanta?

- To Atlanta? Um...

- Yeah.

- Quite a few. I wouldn't know offhand.

- You got a ballpark?

Um...

Come on, buddy.

You gonna buy a ticket or what?

Uh, no, I'm not gonna buy a ticket,

but I can help you. I can help you out.

Uh... Can we open another window

for my friend here?

Beautiful. Thank you.

- OK, so...

MAN:
- The whole Eastern Seaboard.

Yeah. Down to Atlanta.

What happens in Atlanta?

Well, where do you want to go?

- Where can you go from Atlanta?

- Anywhere.

Atlanta's our southern hub.

There are routes to every city

in America from there.

(TAPPING KEYS)

- Hey, everything OK?

(SIGHS) - Sh*t.

Job just got a little harder, that's all.

LEXIE:
- Hey.

KATIE:
- Hey, Lexie.

- Haven't seen those kids in ages.

KATIE:
- How are you?

- They're growing up so fast.

LEXIE:
- Good.

- Whatcha doing?

- I'm drawing.

Yeah? Drawing, what are you drawing?

I don't know yet.

Hm. It looks sorta like a... carrot.

- No.

- No?

You need to bring 'em by

and let me see 'em all, I miss 'em.

- Maybe this weekend, all right?

- All right.

KATIE:
Is it a dragonfly?

LEXIE:
No, it's a flying fish.

- Need a bag?

- No, no, thanks.

MAN:
OK.

KATIE:
- A flying fish. Now I see it.

- Well, hi, Katie.

Hey.

See ya.

- Thanks.

- Bye-bye.

KATIE:
I see you're a true artist.

You got blue all over your hands.

- That stupid door. Use the other one.
