Oh Fuck Off 🙄 Screw you author. What a stupid forced development. You pulled that straight out of your ass. Did your editor tell you that you needed more drama or something?
And france? Is this girl bilingual? Why does she care more about france than love? Why would she choose to do this after entering/currently being in a loving relationship? France ain't goin anywhere, you could still go see it later, hell you could get married to eachother and go live there.
Long distance relationships just flat out dont work. In fiction they can, and Irl there are occasional exceptions, but the simple fact is that proximity matters.
I'm sorry but this is just straight up some grade A Bullshit.
