Zoe sat at the airport, clutching two tickets she’d won for a couples’ trip — just days after breaking up with her boyfriend. Feeling lost, she almost gave up… until a stranger sat down beside her. His name was Tom, and he’d just lost out on a job interview. On impulse, Zoe asked him to come with her and pretend to be her boyfriend. He agreed.

What Zoe didn’t know? The “vacation” was being filmed for a YouTube couples’ challenge. Together, they aced every task — until a kayak race revealed Zoe’s fear of water. Tom, desperate to win money for his troubled father, pushed her too hard. Later, he admitted his dad had abused and abandoned him, only to come back begging for help. Zoe’s heart softened, and they grew close.

But on the final night, the guilt overwhelmed her. “We’re not a real couple!” she confessed to everyone and ran. Tom chased her down, breathless. “I don’t care about the prize,” he said. “My dad was arrested today. The only thing that matters now is you.

I’ve fallen in love with you. Through tears, Zoe kissed him — and realized she’d found something better than any vacation prize: real love.
