Characters
- Renata “Rena” Hernandez, 28 — software engineer, Monterey. Guarded, precise, self-sufficient. Pushes people away before they can get close enough to leave.
- Noel Anderson, 30 — forestry conservationist, living alone in his late grandmother’s house. So naturally open and giving that he pulls people deeper than they are ready to go — the mirror of Rena’s flaw, and what triggers her retreat.
Why it is low risk
A short, contained romantic drama with a small cast and a low location count, written as a proof of concept for a feature-length version. Currently in redraft.
