NEEDLING

My man is stuck at the end of act one, he’s met the girl he’d like to spend the rest of his days with, but she doesn’t really care one iota about him (not until she realizes she can use him to free her boyfriend, but that’s not till way into act two)... right now, we have a situation of cross border unhappiness – Texas / Mexican border – with my hero wanting to go home – another country all together, France to be exact – and his boss not wanting him to go home – the boss holds the key for the hero to go home – and the daughter of the bad guy dropped in just for bad luck with whom the hero falls in love with – unrequited of course – though he’s just about to get his window of opportunity to get the hell out of dodge... if he gets involved with her and takes on her complicated life on top of his own - which he's bound to do - then there’s a big chance he’ll miss out on his ticket back home. What to do? But right now, I’m barely at the end of act one when boy meets girl.

Decisions... decisions...
