   Summary

   There are certain rules while writing a proposal for a paper. You have an Introduction, Methodology section, Variable, Hypothesis and finally Study Type and References you have used. Mel knows the format all too well, having been in research for a long time. She just doesn't know how the same rules apply to real life.

    

   [or: Frank and Mel fake-date, each for their own gain and they will never actually fall in love. Right?]
