Relationshiop Stories

a story of abuse

He is being sent away to a mission in Somalia. She is studying International Relations at Oxford. ...Actually, right now they're both arriving at the airport. Him to catch the flight, her to say goodbye to her brother before he gets on that same flight. Her brother who just happens to be his future roommate. How can this be a romance if they're in different continents for 90% of the story? And how is she a strong female lead when she's messed up and has break-downs? And how can he be a good love interest when he isn't even in the same country to help her and be with her? Somehow, I believe these can co-exist.
