Writing the story outline, what I had in mind was the character of a wealthy, charming new husband whose joy is in making his new wife happy. Harp, a young, intelligent Greek woman had always dreamed of visiting the Louvre in France. Because she often worried about costs, that dream was not fulfilled until she and Keelom went to France for their honeymoon. The son of a wealthy Singapore-based mining corporation owner, Keelom had no worries about spending that much money for the two of them. As they roamed the museum, they were spotted by Harp's ex-boyfriend, Exxot, who is an art critic. Jealous upon seeing that Harp was already married, Exxot followed them around without their knowledge, and when circumstance had made it possible for him to play his trick on the newlyweds, he did what he could do by trapping her inside the restroom. After an hour of waiting, Keelom grew worried, but because of his inability to speak French, looking for Harp would be a hard thing to do.
This story would be difficult to tell from either of the newlyweds' or Exxot's point of view. A third person omniscient narrator could be more efficient, but even then, to have no key event would render the story without meaning. The Specimen form would be most fitting to this type of story because that would help narrow the story down to only one significant character and one key event. The story could then focus on important details of that character's life alongside the key event.
