How the Character meet

Plot:  During a long day at work, not paying attention Keith slips and injures himself.  An Ambulance is called to take him to the hospital; one of the paramedics that have come to collect him is Olga. In the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital the two start talking and getting to know each other. Keith insists that they both go out for lunch in the coming days and Olga agrees. During lunch both characters have a real connection and they really want to keep seeing each other.  Over time the two characters start dating and Olga decides to host a dinner party so that she can introduce him to her sister and some of her friends. When Keith arrives at the dinner party he immediately recognizes Olga’s sister and she recognises him as someone she has previously date.  Midway trough the dinner part Keith goes to get more drinks and Olga’s sister confesses that she has previously dated Keith and he wasn't faithful to her. Olga immediately kicks Keith out of her house and sates that she never wants to see him again.  Keith decides that it would be best if he respected her decision and stayed away.

Conflict: With the decisions that Keith had made in the past with Olga’s sister, meant that his future with Olga would be put at risk. The conflict with Olga was with knowing what she did would she be willing to possibly give up her future so that she could be loyal to her sister.

Change: Even thought Keith didn’t get what he wanted, he now knows that he can’t continue with his lifestyle because he wants to settle down and move on with his life. Olga is now less trusting and more apprehensive when it comes to relationships, and she feels that work isn’t the only thing she should be focused on.
