Part of London Calling
First published 2022
Luc watches another wedding invitation arrive in the mail. Everyone around him and Oliver seems to be getting married, and the social pressure to propose grows stronger each day. He and Oliver have already navigated the messy journey from fake relationship to real love in their past, working through heartbreak, family drama, and the complications that come with letting people in. Now they face a new challenge. Four weddings and a funeral await them this season, along with plenty of opportunities for Luc to question what he really wants. Between ceremony after ceremony, he struggles with uncertainty about taking the next step. Oliver remains patient and supportive, the kind of partner anyone would want to marry. But Luc needs to move from confusion to confidence, from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I do." The path forward requires more than just showing up to social events and sharing bowls of special curry. It demands that Luc figure out how to commit fully to the person who has already proven himself perfect husband material.
