There's a famous play called 'Brief Encounter,' and one of the aspects of it is that the hero borrows a friend's apartment for the afternoon so he can see his married lover. Director Billy Wilder was intrigued by the idea of someone lending out their home for trysts and wrote 'The Apartment' which is considered one of the best movies ever made.
'Tom Brown's Schooldays' was one of the most widely read books in British history. There's a beastly bully in the books, a rogue by the name of Harry Flashman. Flashy gets thrown out of the school for drunkenness. Another writer came along a few decades later and wondered whatever happened to the scoundrel.
Courage. You might have a shot!
