You can’t put this off forever. The sooner you do it the better. I puffed as I scrolled through my contact list. I found the number and dialed, figuring if I gave myself another second to rehearse my speech, I would chicken out. Again. Like I already had, several times before.Lyra wouldn’t have minded doing it for me but I felt like I had to be the one to do it. Out of respect and in part, to hear what he had to say. More importantly, how he responded. I didn’t know what I was hoping for exactly. Would it make me happy if Cristo hated me for it? If he outright asked me to call off the whole thing? Said he didn’t want anyone else that wasn’t me? That was unlikely to happen but I couldn’t help the sliver of hope that tugged at my chest. “Lilith,” Cristo said in a boisterous voice, catching me off guard. “How are you?”“I’m… fine.” Why was I stuttering? I had spoken to him a million times before. Snap out of it, Lilith!“So I’m calling about a potential match,” I said, finally finding

IS NEW YORK'S MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR SUZAN ABRAM’S NEW BEAU? Love is in the air! Two days ago, Cristo Caron and Suzan Abrams, daughter of wealthy business owner and ex-congressman Simon Abrams were photographed holding hands outside a bar in the Upper East Side. This is just weeks after Alexakis Enterprise’s CEO ended his on and off again relationship with Blair Halls. It is rumored that it was Caron who pulled the plug on their relationship saying their priorities were not aligned anymore. At first, it seemed as if the drift was caused by popular matchmaker Lilith Mendez but there is no evidence to prove that Mendez and Caron were seeing each other. Credible sources say that they are just friends. Whilst it’s probable that Caron could be rebounding with Abrams, we can’t deny that the two look good together. According to fans, they looked pretty much into each other. They haven’t confirmed their relationship status but neither party has denied the rumour either. I read the article

On Monday, I arrived at the office earlier than usual, beating Lyra by mere seconds. She was surprised to see me and followed me into my office, asking if there was an emergency.“Do I need a reason to show up at work at this time?” I retorted.“Of course not,” she said but I didn’t miss the worried look that crossed her face briefly. “It’s just that you have never been here before nine before. Is everything okay?”“Yes,” I said. “Now, go find something to do.”She dumped her handbag on the desk and folded her arms stubbornly. “After last time, I thought …”“That I would be depressed for the whole week?” I chuckled. “Please.”“Okay. What’s really going on?” Her eyes dilated in confusion. “What am I missing?”“Nothing?” I said with a careless shrug.“Something isn’t right.” she said skeptically. “You seem… I don’t know. I wouldn’t say happy but you have this zeal. I haven’t seen you this way for a long time.”“Maybe you should get used to the new me,” I said smugly. “She’s here to stay

Blair’s folder was still in my hand when the one and only Cristo barged into my office, a somber look on his face that showed no evidence of relaxing anytime soon.“Lilith,” his voice was deep and strained. “There’s only so much I can take. Please tell me you had no hand in this.”“I’m insulted that you would think so low of me. Sit down.” I reprimanded, gesturing to the seat before my desk with the folder in my hand. He breathed deeply and sat down. I waved the folder around with a look of displeasure on my face, and I felt like I was going to scold a child. “If I was truly as crazy as you believe then I wouldn’t be your matchmaker. You know very well who was behind this, Cristo.”“It’s not like there’s hard evidence against Blair on this.”I raised my brows at him, wondering if he was joking or had forgotten the recent past. “You didn’t have any evidence against me, and yet you dared to walk in with such an accusation simply because you’re angry at me for supposedly sleeping with an

Lyra watched me carefully from the couch as I paced around my living room, impatient and huffy. I glanced at her, catching her look away quickly with guilt.“What’re you staring at?” I sneered.She shrugged, “I’ve just…never seen you this, uh…this frazzled before.”“What do you mean by that?” My tone was challenging.“Clearly you want this situation to pan out a certain way,” she said. I gave her a pointed look. When did I ever not want something to go my way? Lyra shook her head and continued, “Lilith, I know you’re not doing this with Suzan’s best interest at heart.”“Of course, I am!”“You want Cristo,” she deadpanned. “I see you swinging like a pendulum when it comes to him, unable to decide your feelings. But honestly, your actions speak far louder. You don’t want to push him away anymore.”I glared at her, trying to swallow my guilt and pride down because – sadly – she was right on the money.She threw me a knowing look, “I just want to know what changed.”Turning away from her,

I was over at his place. It was rustic and homely, yet still masculine, with a lot of wood and concrete. Floating shelves and cantilevers that all blended in so well and held the place together. How could a place look so ordinary, yet so magical at once?Cristo truly was an artist.“I still can’t understand what happened,” he breathed. “She backed out on her own, just like that.”I shrugged, “I just wanted her to prepare for the worst.”“And…and you stood up for me. In front of my parents.”“As any decent person should.”“No one’s done that for me before, Lilith.”I looked at him from under my lashes, skin buzzing and alive with each wave of heat that rolled off him and towards me. He was a good three feet away but he felt so close at that precise moment. On separate couches diagonal from each other around the coffee table. He was right in front of me and I could reach out to touch him if I could.“Now that your parents and Suzan are out of the way,” I sighed and got up from the couch

Blair and I sat across from each other, surrounded by fancy people in a fancy restaurant with food before us that didn’t look appetizing enough to try. It was still the only place I could confront her without her possibly killing me. Would be an accident? Couldn’t be sure with Blair.She acted pretty oblivious, but it was possible she was just happy with the current turn of events. Her fingers scrolled across the screen of her tablet, eyes skimming with glee over the news.“Does this count as a blow to your career?” she feigned curiosity with a glance at me. I gave her a sarcastic smile, scrunching my nose in contempt and stabbing a fork into the ravioli on my plate. Of course, it didn’t, failed engagements didn’t count. She raised her brows at me and went back to reading the article, no doubt about Cristo’s and Suzan’s failed engagement. Her eyes narrowed onto something so violently that it even piqued my interest. “Has his family lost his mind?”My hand froze before the ravioli coul

My office was cleaner than it had ever been since the years I’d started working there. No papers, no ink, I only had to scroll around on my computer and tap a few buttons.It was too relaxing. Not something I was used to.I’d gone through the profiles of the matchmakers that Lyra had prepared for me, trying to memorize their names and faces. I had some weeks before the welcoming party took place, and I wondered if it would be appropriate to meet them in person before it took place to at least be better acquainted with them to avoid awkwardness.Planning ahead again as always, I reprimanded myself and shook my head. But it couldn’t hurt. There was barely anything to do.The glass table buzzed under my elbows and I patted around for my phone, answering it promptly. I should’ve checked who it was, though. The voice took me by surprise.“Is this Lilith Mendez?”“Yes?” I answered uncertainly.There was a short huff of breath before the man on the other end responded shakily, “I’m John Caro
