action
The first-person narrator is a screenwriter who wants to write action films, but his agent Bryan wants him to write romantic comedies first . I don't believe in love and therefore find writing about love difficult. Then he meets HER, falls in love with HER, only to discover afterwards that SHE is engaged to Stuffy.
I, who lost faith in love when he was abandoned by his mother as a little boy and raised by his grandfather, and who suffer from fear of attachment, can still not forget HER and try to make friends with her. SHE allows the beginning friendship, because SHE also feels affection. To relieve the sexual tension, the two sleep together. While this arouses his hopes for more, she confirms that she does not want to leave her boyfriend.
SHE gets engaged to her boyfriend, while ME deals with his own emotional world and gets advice from his friends. When his grandfather dies, I am deeply affected. He takes the courage to fight for YOU and flies to San Francisco to prevent their wedding. While ME appears to be arriving at the wedding location too late, SHE explains that she has realized that her fiancé is not right for her after all.
