– the Hero was photographed with a supermodel at an event but nothing happened between them. They were both donors to the charity and someone took a photo of them standing beside each other.
– the Hero has been celibate since he ran into the Heroine, six months before they married (but it's insinuated it's been longer)
• No pushing away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Heroine's father sells his daughter to the Hero in return for money to pay off his debts
• Gun violence
• Threat of r@pe


Ending:
HEA with Epilogue
