• they were faking it at first - they made a bet that they could bed the other, or pretended to like the other so they could learn their darkest secrets.

• one of them is promised to someone else - maybe the wedding’s already planned and everything. they might have reasons for going through with a loveless marriage.

• they are infatuated with someone else instead of them - they don’t realize yet that this other person is awful.
• they are interested in someone else in addition to them - they’re having trouble making a decision on who to be with.
• their time is together is limited - one of them is going abroad to study in the fall, their work visa is almost up, or one of them is about to go on a space mission to another planet, never to return.
