Someone finds a partially completed romance novel in a second-hand bookshop and decides to finish the story.

This prompt poses an interesting use of meta-narrative, where a story exists within a story. Can the person find love like the characters they’re completing the story for? What parallels and differences exist between their life and the half-told story they found? This prompt paves the way into exploring life imitating art, the power of storytelling, and how one can find love and inspiration in the most unexpected ways.
