(So, this is a special chapter I initially had to commemorate our 200 leap but I'll post it here. I hope you guys aren't bored with it. It's just a pivot to help take a break from rbe primal world for a bit. The setting is an alternate modern world.)
I had rehearsed this moment in my head at least five times.
'Sit straight. Don't fidget. Smile, but not too much. If he's awkward, be kind. If he's boring, finish the coffee and leave politely.' I told myself. It sounded... Easy.
I sat by the café window, fingers wrapped tightly around a warm mug, and my phone face down on the table.
The dating app had promised high compatibility, verified profiles, and—most importantly—handsome men. After being single for so long, I had finally decided to give love a chance.
I'd chosen one and thankfully, he'd matched back.
The app had handled the rest—time, place, and address sent automatically. All I had to do was wait.
