I’ve seen one of them. The actress from Mean Girls / Party of Five has been cropping up in quite a few recently.

🤣 Yep, they’re such an easy feel good watch. Love how the same actors crop up all the time too. Enjoy!

Yep, successful career person goes back to hometown for some reason, bumps into old flame, they rekindle then fall out and then end up together again. Classic. I love ‘em.
