Synopsis

As the story progresses, Abby begins to succumb to Quinn's appeal, credibility, and his relentless efforts to win her heart. The more time she spends with Quinn, the more she begins appreciating the flaws that make him human and sets him apart from her imaginary partner.

Emotional Transformation
