After what seems like ages, the waiter informs her that her date will not be arriving but she is welcome to enjoy a meal anyway, courtesy of Damien's uncle. Annie leaves the restaurant barely holding back her tears. Theo, standing outside the restaurant, curses his nephew as he sees how devastated Annie is. And yet she holds her head high, and this sparks admiration in Theo. Through her friends, Annie discovers that Damien's uncle is a Professor at the University so Annie goes to him to find out what happened. As they talk they soon discover that everything Damien wrote about himself he was actually describing Theo. Soon Theo finds himself inviting Annie to stay with him, in Damien's room while he's away, and she can see the sites of the city. Living closing with Theo only sparks jealousy with Theo's boss, whom he had once dated. This puts his job at risk.
