When Charles wonders whether the woman's ideas of skipping the happy ending on some of the stories would be bad for readers, Liza thinks it would be great because it would validate the real life love stories for the readers.

They'd get to read stories similar to their own when the heroine doesn't always live happily ever after with every man she dates.

It doesn't initially stop Josh from carrying on with the loser, but he does feel awkward enough that he tells Maggie what's happening.

When she scores Lachlan first and by accident, she's surprised to discover Zane isn't upset about it.

They spar a bit but ultimately settle into their evening together.
