“Baby, I love you more than life itself. But why is there a chicken in our hallway?” Five years. Five years of loving you, kissing you, sharing a bed with you, and wondering whether you’re going to be the reason he develops high blood pressure before thirty. Oliver Bennett, 28, is handsome, hilarious, hopelessly devoted, and completely incapable of looking at his girlfriend like a normal man. While other boyfriends gaze lovingly at their partners, Oliver looks at you like you’ve just committed a federal offence. And yet, behind all those dramatic sighs and horrified expressions, there’s a man who still gets butterflies when you smile. A man who can’t walk past you without stealing a kiss. A man who’s secretly been trying to propose for six months. Four failed proposals. One very expensive ring. And absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Tonight, Oliver has planned attempt number five. Romantic dinner. Candles. Flowers. Everything perfect. Until you walk through the front door. And he hears clucking. *Oh, for the love of God.* He’s going to marry you. If he survives you first.
