Being given time off from the agency, Carla was now able to follow Leeta around all the time, not just after work and on weekends. Which meant she was able to see a lot more of how Leeta interacted with the world. And how the world interacted with Leeta.

A lot of it wasn’t new. Carla had already seen the general reaction to Leeta’s appearance first, personality second, and Leeta’s own standoffishness when dealing with those kinds of people. But she also got to see Leeta in her element a lot more now, especially while following her at work. She got to see Leeta welcoming people to her gallery, warmly explaining a piece she obviously enjoyed, and listening attentively when clients explained what they were looking for.

She also got to see more of Leeta’s interactions with Rosa. Who seemed like a perfect match. Rosa was smart and beautiful, an adventurous spirit like Holly, but still happy with her roots and current connections. She seemed to work well with Leeta’s down-to-earth personality, and Carla watched the two flirt with each other with interest.

And just a touch of stomach flip-flops. But that was because Leeta was so close to a match, and Carla was excited for her. Right? Right. There was nothing else it could possibly be.

Still, she couldn’t help but feel a little . . . nervous when the two agreed to a second date, and then a third. Uneasy, like something was going to go wrong. Which really, that was the opposite of what she should be feeling, especially with things going so well. She was a cupid. She was supposed to be delighted over the possibility of love. And she was!

But Rosa, even for all the matched-on-paper perfection . . . just didn’t seem right.

“And I don’t know what it is,” she told Leeta miserably, the two settling down at Carla’s apartment for a discussion of Leeta and Rosa’s fourth date. “If you get along and you think you could make each other happy—”

“But you don’t think it will work?” Leeta said.

Carla shook her head, near tears. “I don’t even know why. Maybe you shouldn’t listen to me.”

But Leeta didn’t look upset or even disappointed, just thoughtful. “No,” she said, shaking her head. “You’re the cupid. This is what you do. If you don’t think I have a future with Rosa, I would rather end it now before things progressed too far.”

Carla’s stomach clenched. That didn’t seem right either. “Don’t do that,” she said quickly. “I’m probably wrong. I’ve been wrong a lot! You and Rosa might really have something.”

“But you don’t feel we do,” Leeta pointed out. “And you are, of the two of us, the one with the romantic experience.”

“But I’ve been wrong all the other times! Every match I’ve made for you hasn’t worked out. So now that this is working out . . .” Carla’s wings drooped miserably. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything at all.”

“Nonsense. I asked because I wanted to know.” Leeta nodded at her, voice surprisingly gentle.
