In My Neighbor, My Lover, Allison is new in town, and is having a difficult time meeting a nice, single guy who actually interests her. She has seen one guy, though: her neighbor. He's a bit older but she likes that, and strong, too. At the encouragement of her sister, Allison goes over to meet Alex. After a bit of a misstep, Alex invites her over the next morning for breakfast, for a pleasurable "I'm sorry."
