Feeling Butterflies (2022)

In a small town in Washington state, Emily Mariposa and her business partner Adam raise butterflies to release at events such as children's birthday parties and weddings; attending the latter, if she was being honest with herself, is still a little difficult in the aftermath of a serious break-up.

While Emily started and continues to do the business for her love of butterflies, nature, and their role in ecology, the same cannot be said for her cutthroat competitor Mandy Fisher, who solely does it for the bottom line in knowing little about butterflies beyond how to raise them for the business, in the process often undercutting Emily's prices. One job that Emily does manage to keep is the birthday party for adolescent Amanda. With Amanda being a budding butterfly enthusiast, her widowed father, Garrett, asks Emily for a tour of her butterfly farm for them. This starts a friendship between Emily and Garrett/Amanda, the father who Emily, again if she was being honest, is the first man she has looked at "in that way" since the breakup. But the biggest job is up for grabs when socialite Rebecca O'Keefe opens up the bidding between Emily and Mandy to supply butterflies for her upcoming wedding. The issue is not the price but the number of butterflies each can supply, the increasing numbers requested by Rebecca being virtually impossible, at least in Emily's mind. To be able to even come close to meeting the numbers to win the contract, which would put her business in the next echelon with the public exposure of the wedding, Emily has to expand physically with Garrett and Amanda's help. In the process, Emily can admit that she is falling for Garrett. The problem is that while Garrett does have feelings for her, there is another woman, Jill, an ex-girlfriend who has recently reentered his life. She and Garrett's father are pressuring him to move "home" to New York for him to assume leadership of the family business, the combination which on paper is the best for Amanda, as Jill has managed to get her into the finest school in the country back in New York.
