Hi,
I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on how to keep the flow going for a thriller when you have to develop a love interest between two characters.

For instance my main character has to fall in love with this other character and at the same time I want to keep the tension and forward movement.

I can see that when I start to write this connection the potential for story to turn to sappy or audience may lose interest.

My thought was during the scene of main character falling in love, that there be cuts to the setup of the next action scene?

Thanks for the input!
