I Thought You’d Never Ask

By Jamal Trulove

Logline

A woman ages while waiting for her hesitant lover to propose, and when he finally does, a magical moment makes her young again.

Synopsis

Lisa encounters Nathan during a night out with her friends, sparking a love-at-first-sight connection. Desiring marriage and feeling the pressure of time slipping away, Lisa allows her friend to cast doubt on Nathan’s commitment, leading her to take decisive action. Despite Nathan’s own struggles of finding his lifetime partner, he offers his sensible explanation, but Lisa’s anxieties about her age and unmarried status persist. However, a single enchanting moment alters everything.
