Act One: Get your character in his/her routine. The “point of attack” is the presence of another character whom your character realizes is a present danger to his/her isolation, e.g., he or she is falling in love. He's forced to love. Your character feels threatened. (Note: the new character must be REAL to be able to break down the defenses of your character.)
Act Two: Your character fights with the realization that he's in love, fights the feeling. The other character continues to pursue your character and so hampers his attempts to block the feeling of love. The other character may be motivated by love, by curiosity, by the desire for a job, whatever - but it must be specific. Finally, something must be done, they can't go on the way they've been. We have the confrontation between the two.
Act Three: The resolution. What happens? Is your character able to change? Or does he lapse back into his shell?
