I laugh and say, "You realize that is the most cliche thing you could possibly say?"

He looks confused so I elaborate.

Madeline Lace is the youngest of six, the older five being all brothers. Her brothers love her, but due to their pathetic excuse for a father, their overprotective nature spirals into straight up helicopter parenting. Getting a fresh start by moving away from the bad memories, they're bound to run into a few new problems. One of which being their cocky, self-assured next door neighbor who isn't too discreet about taking an obvious liking towards Maddie.

Her hope that he'd give up and leave her alone diminishes when his dorky personality starts to shine through, growing on her.

The easy option would be to ignore the obvious attraction, but then again, it's hard to deny the undeniable.
