Vincent runs away from his family after they attempt to marry him off. He loves his family and they him, but they stifle and overprotect him d/t his blindness. Sophia was orphaned at 15 and has lived with various family members since. Her aunt and uncle view her with distain and a bother. The aunt and uncle aim to trap Vincent in marriage to their only daughter. Sophia's intervention prevents that and as a result she is kicked out with coach money to get to London and not a dime more.
Vincent, feeling responsible for her, offers marriage and a marriage of convenience begins. This was nice because both characters already liked the other. Sophia's ideas (adding improvements to his land and getting a dog to guide him) help Vincent gain more independence and confidence. He helps her see her inner beauty. I thought they complimented each other nicely.
This isn't quite a 4, it's slow in several moments and overly detailed. The characters are very likeable and relatable. No big misunderstanding.
