With what she could salvage of her super-soft TP after Maggie winged it at her, Abby Ruth strolled into the kitchen. “Maggie has gone nuts!” she said to Sera. “She bounced this right off my head.”

“Is that what I heard?” Sera didn’t look up from the laptop she was tapping on at the kitchen desk.

“Yeah, I swear she’s losing it.”

“Where is she?”

“In the bathroom fussing at the toilet.”

“Think she’s okay to leave alone?”

“Her aim was good,” Abby Ruth said, “so I think she’s fine.”

“That’s a relief.”

Abby Ruth wandered closer to Sera. “What are you up to?”

“Registering for ThePerfectFit.com.” Sera held up a hand. “Look, I’m sorry, but we don’t have time for you to poke around trying to find OnceUponATom using your sources any longer. We have to get inside this thing. Maggie won’t admit she needs help, so I have to do something or Martha won’t have our septic system fixed.”

“Can’t you just hack into the thing and dig up Tom’s deets?”

“It’s not that easy. These sites have security on them, and I’m still learning how to do all this backdoor computer stuff. Better to go through the front door. And apparently, the system doesn’t allow you to search. It generates automatic matches instead. So we could create a profile that will attract Tom based on what we know about him.”

“Which is that he likes paintball. That’s not a lot to go on.”

“We have to start somewhere. Besides, I can do this with Maggie none the wiser. Once I find OnceUponATom, then we can bring her in on it. She can’t say no then.”

“If one profile is good—” Abby Ruth tapped her chin, “—then three are better.”

“We can’t register Maggie without telling her.”

“Sure we can. Type M-A-G-G-I-E. It’s that simple.”

“Abby Ruth! We shouldn’t—”

“Waste a good opportunity. C’mon, we’ll register her first. For practice.” Abby Ruth pointed at the keyboard. “Then we’ll know the questions and can answer them differently on our profiles. That’ll cast us a wider net so we can snag this guy.”

“Fine, you win.” Sera clicked on a blank box at the top of the registration form and started filling in Maggie’s information. “What’s Maggie’s middle initial?”

“Evelyn, so E, I guess, or maybe it would be R for Rawls. Who cares? Just make one up.” Abby Ruth peered over Sera’s shoulder. “Doesn’t have to be the absolute truth, you know. It’s not like any of us plan to kick up our heels with one of these online losers.”

“They’re not losers, but the average demographic might be a little younger than we are.” Sera backspaced and took a few years off Maggie’s age. “We’ll need old pictures.”

“I have my 1990s byline picture from the paper. That should do. Do you have one?”

“On my hard drive, and I saw some of Maggie in Lil’s scrapbooks. I’ll snap a picture of one of those and upload it.” Sera continued to type, and three pages into the registration, a screen popped up requiring a credit card. “A hundred dollars?” Her mouth hung open.
