Noah
Underneath that calm demeanour, I sensed lay a deeply
passionate man.
To date, all my relationships that lasted
more than a couple months have ended because I'm expecting something I don't
believe is unattainable. Perfection. My parents have pounded the concept into
my head. Success is only possible through getting everything right.
Even now, in my thirties, I live by that.
What I strive for rolls into my business as the owner of one of the most
popular British-themed pubs in Victoria, BC.
Then one day, a guy named Brody walks into my
pub and becomes a regular, coming in at the same time every night, and always
ordering a G&T and buffalo wings.
His expression is often fixed, and he doesn't
talk much, revealing nothing about himself. But his deep mahogany eyes speak
volumes. There's someone passionate inside all that outward calm.
What I eventually discover about Brody makes
me wonder if I want to take it on. A relationship with him would be far from
perfection. Or would it? To call him mine, I'm going to need to rethink what
perfection looks like and embrace a new way of seeing the world.
Noah is a sweet slow-burning romance about a
member of the Salish Sea Society, a group of four best friends who have been
through a lot together since high school, including each of them coming out as
gay. This story is set on the rugged coast of Pacific Canada and is a story of newfound
understanding of the autism spectrum and finding passion and love beating
beneath the chest of a man of carefully measured words and silent looks.
