Partner chosen by Cupid’s Agency.

Mutual feedback at end of evening.

I rub my forehead.

The thought of Sloane Heart in yoga leggings is the scientific definition of a problem.

And she knows it.

I’m convinced she knows it.

She plans. She controls. She orchestrates.

Meanwhile, all I want to do is curse my life for signing off on this circus.

I sip my coffee.

“What’re you looking at?” Nate asks, noticing me staring at the email.

“My downfall,” I say. “Signed, stamped, and approved by Cupid’s Agency.”

I pull on a hoodie and stretch my shoulders.

Yoga at eight-thirty.

I’m expecting hell.

But a part of me…

A small, stupid part…

Already wants to see how far she’ll push me before she finally loses her patience too.

Sloane

I walk downstairs trying to convince myself it’s going to be a peaceful day.

Yoga, a little work, zero drama.

No stubborn men, no lingering sexy memories, everything will be fine.

Just peace.

The smell of coffeealmostbacks me up.

Almost.
