Falling for Emma (Bistro La Boh me)

Falling for Emma was a really sweet, quick romance featuring a blind guitarist! Just a few months ago, Cyril was in a car accident that left his face scarred, his eyes useless, and his hearing muffled. He's finally reentering the world with the help of a friend, and has started a routine of eating breakfast at the Bistro La Bohème. It's there that a young woman, whom he assumes is just a fan of his music, approaches him. It's almost as if he knows her, and soon he's falling for the mysterious Laura.

Of course, Laura is really Emma. Hence, Falling for Emma. Emma has been gathering her courage to talk to Cyril about something important. She can't do it as herself because of reasons. I wasn't quite convinced by her reason though. It seems like the thing she wanted to tell him wouldn't make sense coming from a new acquaintance. Although I suppose she used a fake name and took advantage of his blindness, to get close to him and then was going to come clean. Maybe. Either way, I felt so bad for Cyril because he literally could not see this coming. He was finally opening up to someone only to be lied to. Obviously they make up since this is a romance.

I thought Falling for Emma was really sweet. Other than Emma's "confession" I really believed these characters. Cyril is struggling with his new reality, and he hasn't been able to write any new songs. He's just lost, but "Laura" brings him back.
