Initially, first drafts had Cassie and Devon falling for each other, but it was decided that scenario would be too much like “Devoted Reality”. So it was decided that the two would remain friends.

First draft also had Armand as the relatively “good” guy. It was decided it made Cassie look like an obsessive person, so it was changed where Armand was the womanizer.

First ending had Armand telling Cassie they would never be together, and the story would end with her accepting Armand didn’t want her, and moving on with Devon’s brother.

Office Romance Tidbits
I find myself laughing out loud at while writing this script. It’s the script I’m most nervous about releasing cause it’s a comedy, and it’s very hard to write a comedy. I didn’t realize how hard it was until I started. It was fun, and I enjoyed writing this.
