After Bray misses Miranda on his first try going to her house, they inadvertently meet when she crashes his truck with her car.

She invites him to stay for dinner.  Bray and Greg, her son fix the car bumper together.

Miranda's kids, Bess, Greg and Missy, want pizza for dinner, which Miranda cannot afford. Bray stresses the power of positive thinking just as a delivery person appears at the door with pizza. As Bray has never found the moment to give the envelope to Miranda, before departing, he leaves it in the mailbox.

A hurricane hits that night, washing away the mailbox and causing a tree to fall through the roof. Bray comes back to check on them, sees the mailbox is missing, and offers to fix the roof as best as he can. Miranda and the kids leave with grandmother this period, Matt's mother Bobby, to stay over at her place while the house is fixed.

Tucker, her fiancée appears and met Bray, which he became jealous. 

The next day, Tucker proposes to Miranda publicly at the restaurant's reopening, which she reluctantly accepts. Bobby, the kid's grandmas offers to stay with them that night so Tucker and Miranda can be alone.

The day after, at Missy's 16th birthday party, Bobby shows Miranda a news article about an invention with Bray's photo. The invention was also something her late husband Matt was linked to. Bobby assumes that Bray stole it from her son, so Miranda confronts Bray. He explains that he and Matt were working on it together but in the fateful plane crash he died and Bray survived. He tries to explain that his sole purpose in coming was to give her a copy of the patent. Miranda doesn't believe him and asks him to leave.

Bray sends another copy of the patent to Miranda, who realises the money from it would solve their family's problems. The family finds the old mailbox with the original copy of the patent, in the water, confirming that Bray was telling the truth. Miranda calls off her engagement with Tucker knowing she does not truly love him.

A few days later, Miranda ends up at Bray's house to clear the air and meets his sister, who exclaims that Bray has gone to Miranda's. They meet at a Waffle House, embracing with warmth and genuine affection.
