They’re in love. They’re in trouble. And they’re in way over their heads with a black-market map, a cursed amulet, and an angry warlord who really hates losing ancient pottery.
✍️ Starting Paragraph Prompt:
Callie thought dating an archaeologist would be fun—museums, wine, maybe a nerdy lecture or two. What she didn’t expect was to be dodging machetes in Myanmar, tracking a statue last seen in 500 B.C., or arguing with her boyfriend while ziplining into a smuggler’s hideout. But love makes you do wild things… especially when the artifact in question might be worth millions—or cursed beyond belief.
❓ Questions to Spark Imagination:
- How do the couple’s personal flaws (jealousy, pride, ambition) intensify the danger they face?
- Is the object they’re chasing worth the cost—and who decides what’s worth sacrificing for it?
- What happens when one of them starts caring more about the treasure than the relationship?
