The drama usually peaks when one person realizes they no longer want to be "portable." The very thing that made the relationship easy—its lack of weight—becomes the source of heartache. One character might receive a job offer in a new city or face a personal crisis, testing whether the relationship can survive being "unpacked" into real, messy life.
Instead of living together, couples may live in different cities or countries, intentionally "syncing up" in a third location for weeks at a time. The romance is defined by the quality of these high-intensity bursts rather than daily proximity.
Because these relationships lack structural intimacy (boring days, sick days, bad hair days), they are fragile. One moment of "real life" can shatter the glass. If you are in a CPR, do not try to simulate a stationary relationship. Do not get a joint bank account. Do not adopt a dog in a city you don't live in. Keep the romance in the romantic storyline .
