What happens when you marry a man who doesn't believe in romance-and you're determined to change that?
Mek is practical to a fault. He's the kind of husband who fixes things, pays bills on time, and shows up when it matters. But romance? He thinks it's frivolous. Unnecessary. A waste of time when there are "real" things to take care of.
He loves Dech-in his own way. Quietly. Like maintaining a car or watering a plant.
But Dech? Dech is all warmth and passion. He believes in love letters, surprise dates, and kissing in the rain. He married Mek knowing he was cold, thinking he could melt that ice with patience and affection.
Three years later, Dech is still trying.
He leaves love notes-Mek uses them as bookmarks. He plans romantic evenings-Mek checks his phone through dinner. He initiates tender moments-Mek responds with awkward efficiency, like he's completing a task.
Dech has become a one-man show in a marriage that's supposed to be a duet.
Can you make someone romantic? Or will you lose yourself trying?
