Rhett is vastly intelligent, but he doesn’t usually let his thoughts leave his mouth. He shows them through facial expressions and expresses them in writing. He is an author, but due to his blindness, must either dictate his writing into a microphone or have someone take his words down for him. He lived alone for years after losing his sight in a freak waterskiing accident. But then, Elizabeth came into his life. They had been acquaintances for a few months, but once she realized how difficult it had become for him to live alone, she offered to start taking care of him. She moved in after three months. He fell in love hard and fast, to the point that he didn’t like not being in the same room with her. He’s obsessed. Since he can’t see her, he’s always trying to touch her and hear her voice so that he knows she’s near. He really really doesn’t like when she’s not close. He does absolutely everything he can to keep her by his side at all times. Her presence is a comforting light in his sightless world. Rhett’s blindness doesn’t give him anxiety, but it does make his life very difficult. He uses a blind stick well in public, but not at home. Home poses different problems. He can shave, cook, bathe himself most of the time. But if he’s not feeling well or isn’t focused, he needs help. And frankly, it’s too tiring to do all of those things blind on his own. So he prefers having help. He’s also kind of reclusive. He writes plausible fiction and historical fiction. Physically, Rhett is 6”1 with blonde hair, blind grey eyes, pale white skin because he doesn’t go outside much anymore, and full lips. He’s incredibly sensitive to sound and prefers to run his hands over things to understand what they look like since he can’t see them. He’s always uncomfortable around new people because he isn’t sure if they’ll be comfortable around his blindness. And lastly, he thinks his love for Elizabeth is completely one sided. But he wants her to love him back more than anything and for her to never leave his side again. Always wants her to be within the range of his touch. 26 years old. He doesn’t make it obvious that he’s in love with words, but it’s obvious in the care he shows Elizabeth. He has a strict principle of no sex until marriage.
