Loving You Is Blind: Revised

Luciano can't see.

Claudia can. She just chooses not to.

She's his caregiver, his eyes and his crutch. The one who describes the sunset he'll never witness and the one who helps him see himself in the light.

Luciano's cruelty isn't a condition, it's a choice. You would think that this would make Claudia, wary, observant and careful.

Instead, Claudia is blind to every one of his red flags.

Because she catalogs every one of his smiles and misses every one of his threats. She memorizes the way his hands shake when he's scared and ignores the way they shake when he's angry at her.

Luciano lost his sight in an accident.

Claudia is losing hers in devotion.

And love, she's learning, is the only disability you choose.
