This line is for luxurymod. I'm looking for this guy's fiance, but the catch is it will be anything but smooth sailing. The full details of the line are behind the cut below, but I'd really like Summer Glau for this line. I'd settle for Charlize Theron or Liv Tyler, but Summer is my absolute first choice on it.
Jake here was in love with kymoran, but it was a really rocky relationship and about a week after him telling her he loved her she cheated on him and then literally 2 weeks after that left the cruise ship they were working on together. He took up sailing the world to get over it, hooked up with aboote on his stop in Australia and 9 months later his son was born. Allie couldn't deal with having a kid so she left Ben with Jake and went home to America.
At some point in the 4 years between then and now he met who didn't care that he was a single dad struggling to keep shit together. I was thinking she had a younger brother that she's been taking care of maybe? He could even be 18+ now and a character at the resort. Anyway, she was kind, helped him, and was just this really awesome part of his life that he found himself looking forward to seeing. He found himself falling for her, but this time around the love part just seemed effortless. I was thinking maybe she worked at the resort they work at now. She was the person who encouraged him to work out a contract with the resort and open up Penelope's Wharf and get back into his own sailing (Side note: It's named Penelope after Odysseus's wife, since its his favorite book, not because of any girl). They got engaged about 3 months ago but thus far haven't even talked about setting a date. They're just sort of taking their time.
Fast forward to where the game is going to start and Allie (the baby mama) is coming back into their lives to be part of Ben's life, something your girl would be fully aware of. But Kyle is also coming back, and that's going to be sort of a bomb. Jake's never talked about his relationship with Kyle. He's mentioned that he saw someone when he was working on a cruise ship and that it ended badly but that's it. Even when he's accidentally mentioned Kyle, he's never corrected the assumption that Kyle was a girl and not a boy. So... that'll be big. There's also the problem that his relationship with Kyle is this big unfinished mess. He loves his soon to be wife very very much, but he and kyle were gasoline and fire, and that's hard to fully get over--then again the relationship burned him badly and burnt him out during it's short span of time. I can't honestly promise anything for the longevity of their relationship. He loved Kyle fiercely, but he loves his fiance in a different, deeper way. It would of course depend on our chemistry as writers together, but there would be a lot of fighting, and some cute scenes mixed in, and I can promise a really interesting line no matter the outcome.
