Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone
At the start of my romantic comedy, Her Handyman, the hero,
Jake, is engaged to Angelina, whom he’s known for ages. His fiance is perfect
in every way. She’s curvy, organized, hardworking and a wonderful cook to boot!
What more could a guy want?
Then, by happenstance, he’s called out in the dead of
night to fix an emergency toilet leak. That’s when he meets the quirky Zoe, who’s
way different than Angelina. Zoe’s a rich, thin artist. She’s impulsive and
unconcerned about minor details, such as keeping everything in its place and
free from dust. Her on-the-fly meals often consist of raw fruits and
vegetables, with occasional carryouts for variety. She appears perfectly
content to hide away in her penthouse, in the sole company of her Chinese
Crested canine, FuFu.
Jake’s future is arranged. There’s no reason for him to
think twice about Zoe. Still, there’s something about her courage in the face
of what he senses are hidden fears that draws him to her. Though she’s wealthy,
in his mind she’s a waif, or poor little rich girl.
Jake can’t change his nature,
which is to respond to people in need. Though Zoe claims to be happy with her
lot in life, he knows deep down she’s needy.
On the other hand, Angelina
has it all together, and would make a perfect wife. But, is perfect what’s best
for him?
What should he do? Go ahead
with a sure thing, or step out of the comfort zone? What would you do, take a
chance or go with a sure thing?
Read Her Handyman to find out
how Jake handles the situation.
