I NCITING I NCIDENT Matt and Christina are alone in the hotel room and they begin to become more in touch with each other. They wind up having sex and Matt falls for Christina however, she does not have the same feelings towards him. She considers what they did just a part of her work and she ends up sneaking away while Matt sleeps. 
C ONFLICT Christina's Conflict: She falls in love with Davis while he is                                  engaged.                                  All he wants from her is to have sex. Matt's Conflict: He is trying to get over his ex.                          He falls in love with Christina although she does                           not feel the same way back
R ISING A CTION In Act 2, Christina returns to Matt's apartment looking for a place to stay for the night, and it is here that Matt confesses his feelings for her. He still is unaware that Christina is in love with Davis.

D ENOUEMENT /F ALLING A CTION Davis gets a call while him and Christina are having sex, and he says "i love you" to his girlfriend on the phone. Christina becomes very upset, and when Davis leaves she packs her things and also leaves. Then Matt returns home to an empty apartment.
M ATT Round Character                              Although he says that he has changed, it                               doesn't appear to be true in the end. We are able to see how depressed Matt really is throughout the play when we learn that he never really got over how Davis stole his girlfriend, and that Matt is jealous of Davis always getting what he wants. What is at stake for Matt in the play is his life. He had thought about suicide many times and had even attempted it once before. Although people may think that because of all that he has went through he will only get stronger, that is wrong. He seems to only be getting weaker and weaker as more happens to him.
