What makes the greatest love story? When we watch love stories we see four elements to the relationships such as those between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler in the classic, "Gone With the Wind", and between Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton in "The Notebook": Attraction, conflict, passion, struggle.

That opposites attract has proven true in both of these classic stories.

The story between Clara Simmons and Jeremy Gorman has these four elements.
