    Summary

    A modern retelling of Persuasion, with Regency stakes.
    "Ai stead mai?" in Singapore slang means, "will you go steady with me?" That's the question which Fang Wu ought to have asked Nur Atiqah binti Eusoff in 2025, when he was 23 and she was 19. They had just spent a wonderful summer training in Barcelona, and were on the verge of going home to represent their respective countries in football.
    But because dating a non-Muslim is taboo in Islam, their only options were all or nothing: a long and uncertain de facto engagement based on his promise to eventually convert to Islam for her, or to cease all communication while they established their careers as international footballers. Eight years later, he has a second chance - what will happen?
