to a story that may or may not lead the reader through a pleasant or unpleasant journey. I don't know enough about either character to guess one way or the other about their intentions, although coercion is always a poor choice unless you're dealing with insurance companies...;-). Keep the writing going, I'm curious to see where you take us.
Many people just need a little push to achieve their true desire. One never knows what until they try.
This is a great set-up for the rest of the story, or at least the next chapter.
