Natalie had endured months of chaos from her neighbor Elliot, whose “help” always made things worse. From ruining her garden to nearly sending her into an allergic reaction with peanut butter cookies, she finally booked a solo cruise to escape. But to her horror, once onboard, she ran into not only Elliot but also her ex-husband David and his girlfriend Sophie. Trapped at sea, she braced for a nightmare.
The cruise became unbearable. David flaunted his romance with Sophie, while Elliot constantly blundered into her path — spilling drinks, disrupting meals, and even pushing her into the pool. Yet strange gestures kept appearing in her cabin: flowers, nut-free meals, thoughtful gifts. Natalie assumed they came from David, but his selfish behavior soon proved otherwise.
When David tried to rekindle their relationship behind Sophie’s back, things escalated. He cornered Natalie, ignoring her protests, until Elliot stepped in to protect her. A struggle broke out, and in the chaos, Natalie fell overboard. Elliot leapt in after her, saving her life. In the water, he finally confessed: all the gestures, from flowers to safe meals, were his clumsy ways of showing love.
Back on the ship, Natalie found a bracelet and a note from Elliot promising he only wanted her happiness. For the first time, she saw past his blunders to the sincerity behind them. Later that night, she knocked on his door — and instead of words, sealed her answer with a kiss.
