Big City Lady is summoned to a lawyer's office because her great aunt died and left her half ownership of a Cat Cafe. She is excited because she wants to buy a place in the city, and if she can sell her half of the Cat Cafe she will have enough for a down-payment!
Big City Lady takes a trip to find out who the other co-owner is, and if she can convince them to buy her out. She makes a plan to meet at the Cat Cafe.
VetDude is the other owner, and he is not excited about any part of Big City Lady's plan. He can't afford to buy her out, and he strongly believes the Cat Cafe is good for the community.
BCL calls the lawyer to find out what her options are, and the lawyer basically tells her there is no way to get her money out quickly if VetDude doesn't want to sell.
VetDude's assistant pesters him about not having dated in over 7 years. (This is foreshadowing....)
VetDude stops by Great Aunt's house to get the Christmas plans for the Cat Cafe. BCL offers to help with the festivities in exchange for selling the Cat Cafe quickly. Vet Dude agrees to a 3 week trial. If BCL helps for the next 3 weeks, and still doesn't believe the Cat Cafe needs to stay running, he'll agree to sell.
BCL contacts a Local Developer in preparation of selling the Cat Cafe. (This is premature, and I'm sure it'll come back to bite her in the butt.)
As BCL is preparing for the Christmas festivities,she keeps having flashback memories of her Great Aunt.
VetDude informs BCL that there's not just one Christmas party, it's basically 3 full weeks of events. This means they will be spending lots of time together over the next few weeks...
BCL starts getting into the Christmas spirit,and buys a Christmas tree. She has no decorations for it, so she asks VetDude if he has some extras she could borrow. He's got loads of them! And he'll help her decorate her tree too! (Not a double entendre).
BCL calls her City Friend to give an update, and City Friend suspects that BCL is falling for VetDude. BCL is not super quick to deny the accusation.
VetDude and BCL wanderer around the Christmas Fair, and Local Developer steps up to say hello, and firm up plans to sign the paperwork for selling the Cat Cafe at the Christmas party. VetDude is irritated that BCL would plan on signing at the actual Christmas party.
VetDude and BCL get invited to a Christmas potluck, so they decide to cook a dish to bring together. That talk about their pasts, and bond.
At the potluck it's revealed that BCL has made plans for the big Christmas party to be at VetDude's ex-fiance's restaurant. Also, VetDude's Assistant announces she's pregnant. VetDude is feeling sad and old, like love will never find him. BCL tells him he's still young and has plenty of time to have a family.
BCL calls her City Friend again, and admits she has a crush on VetDude. City Friend encourages BCL to see if it could work between them.
VetDude's ex-Fiance accuses VetDude of liking BCL, and he can't deny it. ex-Fiance tells him to go for it. It's about time he starts dating again! It's been 7 years!
After another Christmas event, VetDude is helping BCL clean up. She thanks him for helping, and asks who helps look after him. "No one," he says sadly, so she kisses him.
The Christmas festivities are going so well they are anticipating a very well attended Christmas party. BCL is excited about it. She is starting to see how important the Cat Cafe is in the community.
BCL arranges for a bunch of people to come help decorate for the Christmas party. VetDude can't believe it! He is so moved by their help.
The lawyer found a card in Great Aunt's paperwork, and sent it to BCL. Great Aunt said she made the Cat Cafe because she knew how important it was to BCL when she was little to find a home, and cats need homes too. That's why she bequeathed it to BCL.
VetDude takes a risk and asks BCL to not sell, and to stay in the town forever. BCL says all she ever wanted was a home in the city, and she still wants that. VetDude says, "fine, then you might as well leave now." BCL leaves.
As BCL is driving back to the city, she stops at a gas station because it's snowing. A man has a cat that he got from the Cat Cafe, and BCL sees that as a sign that she needs to go back.
The Christmas party is in full swing, and Local Developer shows up with the paperwork to sell. VetDude sadly signs it. BCL rushes in and tells VetDude she's sorry, and VetDude can't sell! She tells Local Developer she can't sell the Cat Cafe. Local Developer has a cat on his lap, and he understands. He's going to adopt the cat, and throw away the selling paperwork.
VetDude is elated that BCL is sticking around. BCL kisses VetDude.
The end
