Abby works as the communications manager at the prestigious Greenbrier Hotel. In the midst of all the Christmas preparations, professional footballer Ben shows up at the hotel. Their reunion is awkward, as Abby and Ben used to date during college, but their relationship ended abruptly when Ben left to pursue his football career. Abby is now a widow, and things are complicated further by the fact that her son idolises Ben. Abby tries to keep her distance, but her son wants to meet Ben, and Ben seems keen to reconnect with her. At the same time, rumours swirl about Ben and a famous actress.
As usual, I’m sceptical of films where they try to rekindle an old relationship, and they also let the resolution come far too late (I understand they want the dramatic effect, but that can be achieved without dragging it out ridiculously long). Despite this, it still turns out to be a good romantic story with all the feel-good vibes.
