Hello Lieblings!
I do so love a happy ending.
Truly—there is nothing quite like it.
I sit at my favorite café table, a fresh Honey Lavender cone in hand (with sprinkles, of course—some traditions must be honored), and admire my work.
Because yes.
My work.
On my phone screen is a glowing review—five stars, naturally—left by one very satisfied Bear and one very stubborn Tiger.
“Didn’t believe in it. Was wrong. Found my mate. Would absolutely recommend.” – Rob C.
“Terrifying. Life-changing. Worth it. ” – Hadley S.
I sigh, placing a hand over my heart.
“Ah, love,” I murmur. “Messy, chaotic, slightly violent—and absolutely perfect.”
Across the street, I spot them.
Hadley laughing, head tipped back, sunlight catching in her hair. Rob beside her, large and unyielding as ever—but softer now, his gaze never straying far from his mate.
Protective.
Devoted.
Completely and utterly gone for her.
As he should be.
I give a satisfied nod.
Another success.
Another lonely heart mended.
Another pair of souls aligned exactly as the Fates intended.
And people doubted me.
“Can you believe it?” I say aloud to no one in particular. “They always doubt me.”
I take another dramatic bite of my cone.
Then, with a flourish, I pull out my phone and open the app.
DATE TO MATE.
Still glowing.
Still working its quiet, powerful magic.
I hold it up as if addressing an invisible audience.
“Are you lonely?” I ask, wagging a finger. “Tired of kissing frogs? Done with heartbreak and disappointment?”
