As a result, his house in Seattle is flooded with letters of comfort from thousands of listeners. Meanwhile, editor Annie Reed (Ryan) feels called to meet Sam by Sam's story and her romantic streak. There are only two problems: Annie is engaged and Sam doesn't know yet that they are meant for each other.
