Initially unimpressed by Julian's fame and ego, Hazel is the only woman in the office who doesn't fawn over him, which intrigues Julian. As they work together on his manuscript, Hazel pushes Julian to find emotional authenticity in his writing, teaching him that love stories require vulnerability and courage rather than clinical observation. Through daily editorial sessions, their relationship deepens as Julian begins writing his own feelings into the novel, unconsciously crafting a love story about their developing connection.
