Just had another thought!

Anybody ever read any of the Harlequin Romances? I don't anymore, but I read my share as a teenager, and the plot usually goes something like this:

1) Man and woman meet under some unfortunate circumstances - car accident, death of parent, etc......

2) Man and woman clash dramatically, each hating the very earth the other walks on, but usually with the man having enough curiosity to continue with some contact.

3) The woman continues to hate the man, the man is intrigued by the woman's stubborn-ness and independence, so instead of just continuing contact, the man begans the pursuit.

4) Some dramatic event happens which causes the woman to realize how much the man really means to her. At this point the man is to the point of giving up, so pursuit has slacked off some.....

5) ....but.....the woman decides to fly in the face of reason and goes to the man and reveals her true feelings for him, usually during one last big blow up between them where they start out fighting, but end up in each others arms. He and she are both ecstatic and run off to wed, and end up living happily ever after.

I think Edwina and Eduardo might be at the ending stages of "2" and the beginning stages of "3." We may just have our own little "Harlecat Romance" developing right before our eyes!
