When a many-times-jilted long-distance truckie falls in love online with a city writer, he must learn to trust again, to win her heart.
Louise says the story is loosely based on an actual relationship, so I think her scenario is credible. Reasonable, rational? Maybe, maybe not.

Louise says the story is loosely based on an actual relationship, so I think her scenario is credible. Reasonable, rational? Maybe, maybe not. But in any good romance, love overthrows logic, emotion bulldozes past all good reasons not to do something. As Billy Wilder is said to have always told his scriptwriting collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, “Don’t give me the logic, give me the emotion.”

As usual, Richiev, you come through with a concise option. But, I am more intrigued by Louise's concept of a yawning socio-economic gulf between the two.

As usual, Richiev, you come through with a concise option. But, I am more intrigued by Louise’s concept of a yawning socio-economic gulf between the two. Consequently, complicating his gun-shyness is the predicament that his reach, his intention, greatly exceeds his grasp. Thus, he must s-t-r-e-t-c-h himself, grow even more as a character, to close that gulf. He’s taking the additional risk, the audacious risk, of aiming higher than he would if he sets his sights on a waitress.

Hi, Louise! It’s the same ol’, same ol’ in my hemisphere of the globe, only deeper and denser.
As you know, one of the big beats in Blake Synder’s schema is the Life Changing Event. In the case of your story, I’m guessing that would be the meet-cute scene triggering their relationship. Further, for romances, a direct or indirect reference to that event is typical in the logline. So: given the vast gap between them in miles, employment and economic status, temperaments — how do they meet-cute?
Best wishes and regards.
