Character Notes
Frankie’s life changed when Anna, a waitress at the diner, recognized something good in him—she told him he has a heart and smiled at him. Nobody had ever done that before. This simple act of recognition transformed Frankie’s world. He proposed to Anna on Christmas Day, and she accepted. They have set their wedding date for Halloween night. Throughout his journey, Frankie has relied on Marvin, a homeless man who lives behind a dumpster in the back of the diner, for advice about his love life. Their unlikely friendship has become a cornerstone of Frankie’s emotional support.
