This is based off a movie but the role doesn't have to be exactly like the movie we can personalize it but keep the same concept for the prompt. I'll play Logan as myself so l'll go by Cody and you can play Beth (you can use the name she is given in the movie or your own name). We will share the roles of the side characters. Thank you for reading!
#### Setting:
The picturesque, small-town charm of Hamden, North Carolina, where nature's beauty meets the simplicity of everyday life. The town is known for its lush forests, rolling fields, and a river that winds its way through the landscape. Hamden is dotted with cozy cafes, rustic barns, and friendly faces. It is springtime, and the town is in full bloom, with flowers and trees coming to life, reflecting a sense of renewal and hope.

Logan’s search leads him to Hamden, North Carolina, where he discovers that the woman in the photograph is Beth Green, a young single mother running a family-owned dog kennel.
