Details

Summary

Laura Robinson, a woman in her mid-twenties, must trust her heart to make the right decision - take a chance on Joel, a charming man she meets in a French restaurant on Valentine's Day, or wait for James, her insensitive boyfriend who just happens to be over an hour late for their date. Joel and Laura's budding relationship is helped along by Laura's inquisitive friend Patty, a matchmaking maitre d', and a bumbling waiter. Laura finally realizes that sometimes you have to do something crazy and impetuous in your quest to find happiness.

History
