‘I’ll let your date know,’ Stavros added. ‘She is on her way too.’

‘Great,’ I said, as I flashed him a half smile, waved at Ali then left.

At least I wasn’t being set up with my best friend.

That would’ve been so awkward.

My match was a complete stranger and she would be perfect for me.

Yep.

Those dates Colin and Shania set me up on were disasters. But this one was going to be different.

I was sure of it.

Holy bloody hell.

As Noah headed towards the men’s toilets, my eyes widened.

Again.

Ever since I’d spotted him, my eyes had popped out of my head more times than I could count.

That Sabrina Carpenter song ‘When Did You Get Hot?’ could’ve been written for him.

Now I felt like a right plonker for thinking that the reason he didn’t want to send photos of himself or for me to see him in person was because he was insecure about how he looked.

Ha!

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The man was a god.

Pure fire.

Noah was so smoking hot, someone needed to call the freaking fire brigade.

What the bejesus was going on?

Noah had muscles. And I mean M-U-S-C-L-E-S in capital letters.

He had abs.

I know this because I’d poked them multiple times to check if they were real and nearly broke my fingers in the process.

Where the hell were his glasses?

And when did he start dressing like that?

The Noah I knew was a geek who wore shirts under jumpers and was tall and slim.

Noah 2.0 was tall and built.

It’d had only been a year since I’d seen him, so I didn’t understand how that could’ve happened.
