They met less than three weeks before Monica’s wedding. She should have been ecstatic, but instead she was at a convention in Charleston when Hurricane Matthew hit. The entire city shut down, with the streets flooded and the power down.
Neither of them really noticed; they spent the entire day and night before the hurricane hit with a stranger in a hotel room. They met on the convention floor, when he came helped her out of a jam with a skeezy guy who wouldn’t take no for an answer.
They parted ways when the floodwaters receded and both went back to their real lives, often revisiting those illicit few days to wonder what if.

This setup and introduction comprises Act I.
Act II will take place a few years later, when the characters - now both married to other people, possibly with or expecting children - become friends through their social circle and take up together again.
Act III will explore how a crisis brings things to a head and they must make a final decision - stay together and destroy the lives they’ve build separately, or part ways for good.
I am looking to explore the phenomenon where a character does something hurtful and terrible but is still sympathetic and the reader finds themself rooting for them. I hope you are, too.
