[Sweet urban slice-of-life / light mystery]
Mystery writer X forensic pathologist
From the forensic pathologist's perspective:
"There's a pretty homebody next door. She's timid, afraid of bugs, the dark, and ghosts."
"The girl next door is so weak she can't even open a bottle."
"The girl next door... never mind. I kind of like her."
From the writer's perspective:
"I ran into my crush on a blind date, and she lives next door."
"She thinks I'm a scaredy-cat, but I write horror mysteries."
"She thinks I'm weak, but I can open a bottle with one hand."
"She doesn't know I faked it all to win her over."
The title is provisional. The full synopsis will be added later, but the heart of the story won't change.
