Perhaps, he has every opportunity to fall in love with Hilda in the Sahara. But does he?
Even in the midst of affliction, can her beauty, graceful personality and charisma exert any meaningful influence on him?
Why is the American woman in the Sahara of all places on earth?

His loyalty is now divided between his friends and brothers who are also on the same mission and Hilda.
