Table For Two

Some tables are reserved. Some hearts are harder to claim.Mallory Dacre has her life exactly the way she likes it. She runs The Gull, a beloved breakfast restaurant in the small coastal town of San Aurelio, where the coffee is strong, the regulars are opinionated, and everyone knows far too much about everyone else's business.Then Caleb Dwyer walks through the door.A traveling writer with a camera, a notebook, and a talent for asking the wrong questions, Caleb has made a career out of discovering places without ever staying in one. Mallory has spent years building a life she has no intention of leaving. And when Caleb makes the mistake of sitting at Table Seven, he discovers that some local traditions are not open for negotiation.What begins as a battle of wits over coffee, breakfast, and personal boundaries slowly becomes something neither expected. With an interfering waitress, a hardware-store owner who knows everybody's business, and an elderly married couple offering fifty-two years of questionable romantic advice, Mallory and Caleb discover that falling in love might be the easy part.The harder question is what happens when one person has always known how to leave, and the other has forgotten how to ask someone to stay.Warm, witty, and full of heart, Table for Two is a romantic comedy screenplay about second chances, the families we find, and the extraordinary possibilities waiting inside ordinary lives.Because sometimes love doesn't require a grand gesture.Sometimes it just requires saving someone a seat.
