Solstice

On the eve of the summer solstice, Emma swaps one blind date for another. It's going to be a sunrise like no other...

What would you do if your blind date didn't show up? Would you go home, throw a microwave meal in the oven and spend the rest of the evening watching television and cursing your luck?

Or would you accept an dinner invitation from a handsome stranger?

All you'd be doing is swapping one blind date for another, right? That's what Emma decides. And so she finds herself dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant with a man who swears you can tell what people do for a living simply by looking at their hands.

But when Adam suggests an after supper walk up a moon-flooded hillside, Emma discovers the true magic of the summer solstice...
