Monotony
At first, he assumes she's just another woman coming into the office to plead on behalf of her deadbeat boyfriend, the type of sob story that has the same generic plot every time: The naïve country bumpkin who moves to the city for an exciting life and meets 'the nicest guy in the world' and falls in love with him immediately. But there's a catch, 'cause the guy always seems to love her so much and regrets taking money from her account but don't worry, he'll pay her back as soon as he can; he just needs to take a trip out of town for a 'job interview' first and she hasn't heard from him since but he'll call, don't worry and then...
