something I don't get about the movie


When Jayne and the man (forgot his name) are talking to each other and all of a sudden she brings up thanksgiving and then she looks sad and he says,"Maybe we can spend Thanksgiving together". Did she realize she loved him right there, or what?

Well, she missed her all of her brothers and she enjoyed cooking for him (Mr. Miller). Remember when they are rehearsing and she tells him, 'I was having fun with you and I thought you were having fun with me too.....I have no friends here', she was able to be herself around Mr. Miller and he accepted her not for the glamour girl image but for the stay at home type of girl she wanted to be. But it's obvious she is falling in love with him because she cries when he leaves that night.

I had thought she stopped because she realized she was saying she missed being around a large family and realized he didn't have any family at all. I think maybe a combination of that and that she was hopeful they could spend it together?
