Grudgingly, Savanna finally agrees to attempt to change Pedro, the emigrant, into Peter, the executive. As Peter changes, the chemistry between them quickens, and Savanna struggles to view Rivera as a project rather than a man. When women friends admire him, she feels unfamiliar twinges of jealousy.
