PLOT SUMMARY

Julian would like it to be known that he never asked for this.

What he asked for was to be left alone with his code, his piano, and his carefully organised life where everything had its place and blind people weren't expected to go on blind dates. (The irony of this phrase has not escaped him, though he wishes it would.)

What he got instead was Alain.

Alain is the sort of friend who thinks he knows what's best for you, especially when what's best for you involves sitting in a resto bar called Fieldhouse, drinking cucumber water that tastes like disappointment, and waiting to meet a complete stranger who may or may not flee the moment they discover their date comes with a rather significant visual impairment.

Julian has been successfully avoiding romance for several years now, ever since his last girlfriend helpfully explained that his blindness made their relationship "not normal." This struck Julian as rather like complaining that rain makes you wet, but apparently not everyone appreciates such logical observations.

Now, thanks to Alain's well-meaning interference, Julian finds himself attempting to navigate the treacherous waters of first impressions while armed only with enhanced hearing, a nervous disposition, and the sinking feeling that "Hi" might not be the most sophisticated opening gambit in the history of human courtship.

The evening promises to be educational, assuming Julian survives it.

Contains: awkward silences, experimental beverages, the sort of friend who means well but probably shouldn't, and the age-old question of whether love is worth the risk of spectacular embarrassment.
