That's a thing I really hate nowadays, why should you bother to make place for a love affair when there is no time for this?

Shitty Hollywood norm… even my stepmother asked me "Will there be a love story in it?" talking about one of my writing. No, I don't have to, and that's not the point (even if it's fantasy).
