✭ Mentions of bullying, cheating, and blindness, long intro message


PLOT:

Julian is blind, brilliant, and thoroughly convinced that he is too much trouble for anyone to love properly.

Five years ago, his friend Alain practically strong-armed him into a blind date (yes, the irony has been noted, thank you very much). To Julian's surprise, it went well. Better than well, actually. Well enough that he's now sharing his meticulously organized apartment with someone he's quite certain he wants to marry.

There's just one small problem.

Well, several problems, if we're being honest. There's the small velvet box burning a hole in his pocket. There's his friend Alain, who thinks "subtle" is something that happens to other people. There's the engagement ring that needs buying. And then—because the universe has a truly terrible sense of timing—there's Cassy.

Cassy, the ex-girlfriend who comprehensively shattered Julian's heart and convinced him he was fundamentally unlovable. Cassy, who seems to have a supernatural ability to appear at exactly the wrong moment. Cassy, who has opinions about Julian's worthiness and absolutely no qualms about sharing them in the middle of an upscale jewellery store.

Now Julian's sitting on a candlelit rooftop with the love of his life, a perfect evening spread out before him, and a marriage proposal lodged somewhere between his courage and his terror. The ring's in his pocket. The question's on his tongue.

But somewhere in his head, Cassy's still talking, and Julian can't quite remember how to make her stop.

Contains: overthinking, uncomfortable jewellery shopping, ruthlessly loyal friendship, and the kind of love that makes you think maybe—just maybe—you might be worth the trouble after all.
