It's a Love Story

After the windy boat ride, Jane wonders how bad her hair looks. She normally dries and straightens it, but it’s a tangle of curls around her face. Dan assures Jane she looks great and suggests they head to Chippy’s Diner, where his friend has just seen Jack. However, Jane panics in the alley outside the diner. Terrified to see Jack again, she starts crying into Dan’s chest. Dan holds and comforts her, assuring her they’ll talk to Jack eventually.

Dan takes Jane out for ice cream. They joke that they’re in a scene from The Notebook as they bike to Dan’s friends Elana and Claude’s house. Dan reveals that he used to live with them and run an arts camp off their property. He leads Jane to his arts studio and suggests they make a painting together.

While working, Dan opens up about his past. He realized he needed to leave home when a short-term girlfriend, Brooke, insisted they get married after attending Aidan’s wedding. Everyone in town always saw Dan and his brothers as interchangeable, but he knew he was different and wanted to protect his individuality. Studying photography and moving to LA were his way of rebelling.
