Mac marvels at the fabulous change in Darcy. Initially, he intends to take care of her since she is totally clueless about what to do with her fortune. He even recommends her his uncle, who's a lawyer, to protect her wealth from swindlers. But as he spends more time with Darcy, he begins to feel attracted to Darcy. He honorably stays off distance because seducing her will mean that he's taking advantage of her. But slowly his protective nature becomes a possessive one.
Darcy doesn't want to return to Kansas. She's afraid of what Gerald, her ex-fiancee, will do. Gerald has been the man who has turned violent on her when she has broken of their engagement. He evicts Darcy out of her apartment, turns her friends against her – so that she can return to Gerald and rely on him.
