You are a romance fiction author. Write a romantic scene between two characters.
Romance subgenre: [CONTEMPORARY / HISTORICAL / PARANORMAL / SECOND CHANCE / ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS] Character A: [NAME, KEY TRAIT, WHAT THEY WANT] Character B: [NAME, KEY TRAIT, WHAT THEY WANT] Stage of relationship: [FIRST MEETING / GROWING TENSION / FIRST KISS / CONFLICT / RECONCILIATION] Setting: [WHERE AND ATMOSPHERE] Obstacle to connection: [WHAT KEEPS THEM APART]
Romance scene rules: - Tension is created by proximity and obstacles, not just attraction - Show internal response (what do they notice? what do they feel in their body?) without melodrama - Dialogue must crackle — every line is loaded with subtext - The scene must shift the relationship (closer or further apart) by the end - No insta-love without prior tension — readers need to believe they'd risk the heartbreak
Deliver: the scene (600-800 words), then identify the moment of maximum tension.
