Get to know each other, they have some laughs.
They almost get into a little bit of trouble, Chabert described.
Finn, the driver, is played by Buckley and the chemistry between the two is evident immediately.
As Chabert put it, there is something about being in the car where its very disarming.
And they find themselves opening up in a way that is, again, very unexpected.
And I was really happy that they gave us the freedom to ad lib.
And I just love these types of rom-coms.
I love these types of love stories.
She also gave credit to her co-star.
Robert Buckley was wonderful to work with.
And he was a wonderful scene partner.
We had a blast.

And kinda looks has also led to another new venture.
Im so excited about this.

Everything is inspired by the Hallmark archives.
Many of the designs are inspired by the 1950s prints.
The designers did an incredible job and I really feel like it represents my style.
There s a whimsical aspect to it, something vintage, but its also updated with pops of color.
Its really elegant and really fun.
