The following weekend, Zack and I were at Sarah’s house helping to put together her new Ikea furniture which had finally been delivered after being delayed. Well, Zack was doing a grand job at putting it all together and I was doing a grand job of making Sarah jealous about my upcoming two-week getaway to an all-expenses paid villa in Crete. The flights were booked and I had successfully arranged time off work.

“Two whole weeks?” she said as we were sitting on her new sofa drinking wine. We were flicking through profiles on Find Me A Date, but not having any luck. “Don’t say anymore, I might actually turn green.”

“Did I mention it has a tennis court?”

“Since when do you play tennis?”

“Never,” I sipped my wine, “but when in Rome.”

“Oh, what about this one?” she handed me the phone. “Twenty-eight years old, a postman…”

“Nope,” I quickly interrupted. “Postmen get up early on a morning. You don’t need that alarm clock waking you up on a Monday. Next.”

“But he was so hot!” She pouted. “You’re so picky.”

“No, I’m experienced in this app dating business. And if anyone messages you wanting to video call, tell them no.”

“Are you girls ok or do you need a rest?” Zack popped his head into the room.

“Are you implying that we’re not being helpful? We’re being very helpful and testing out the comfort of this new couch. A very important job.”

“I see,” he smirked, “don’t work too hard though. I don’t want you to strain yourself. Sarah, I don’t suppose you have any scissors?”

“Oh yes,” she got up, passing me the phone. “I’ll get you some.” She ran down the hall and up the stairs her bedroom. I asked if it could still be classed as a bungalow if it had more than one floor. Apparently, it can.

“How are you getting on?” I asked.

“Almost there, just the wardrobe is a bit awkward.” He wiped some sweat away from his upper lip.

“Do you need any help?” I felt guilty. Sarah and I had spent the whole evening gossiping whilst he got on with putting all her stuff together. To be honest, I am hopeless when it comes to this. I would only get in the way.

“No, it’s fine. Won’t be long now.”

“Got them!” Sarah called from upstairs.

“Coming.” Zack left and made his way to meet her.

I swiped through the profiles. Most of them were the same losers from when I had the app. Left. Left. Left. Woah, what? Is that who I think it is? It can’t be. It is.

Dan.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Dan had a profile and was looking for a date. I guess he was serious about wanting to settle down.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Sarah said as she joined me again on the couch.

“I think I have.” I passed her the phone and whispered. “It’s Dan.”

“Dan who? Your Dan?”

“Yes.”

“Oh right, how funny.” She topped up our wine glasses. “Well, if he’s single, he’s allowed to mingle.”

“I know, I just wasn’t expecting to see him.
