Adam
Steve is the man Rain brings to help after Bride crashes her Jaguar. At first, Bride is afraid that Steve might kill her, but she gradually learns that Steve is an activist who helps her simply because he believes it is right. Steve serves as a foil to Bride’s mother, and he makes Bride question what she had thought was important in life. Though Steve is not successful in a material sense, he and his wife, Evelyn, have built a life founded on mutual respect and unconditional love. Seeing Steve and Evelyn’s happiness leads Bride to reassess her priorities and reconsider how important her job and career success are to her.
