I hum as I skip into work after breakfast. My co-workers stare at me like I’ve gone crazy, but I don’t care.

My strides are long and bouncy. “Janet, is that a new sweater? It looks fabulous.”

“Uh…”

“Bye!” I flutter my fingers.

Ten more steps to my office.

Another group of co-workers approach.

“Asia, please tell me where you did your hair. It’s stunning.”

“Thanks.”

I flash her a smile.

She gives me a hesitant one back.

Five more steps to my office.

The mailman exits the break room.

I wink at him.

He blushes.

Three more steps to my office.

I stop short of doing a little twirl and open my door.

Sunlight streams through the windows.

I suck in a deep breath and glide to my desk.

The files Kayla gave me—the one featuring top tier female clients—waits on the surface. I open my drawer, drop the files inside, and bump it closed with my hip.

I’ll find some other high-profile couple to match.

It doesn’t have to be Troy.

It’ll never be Troy.

I’m about to move out of his house, but I was deluding myself to think I could give him to someone else.

Not give.

He was never mine.

He’s still not.

But…

What?

I’m not sure.

I don’t want to think about it too deeply. It just felt like we’d taken a teeny-tiny step toward each other this morning and I couldn’t be more ecstatic.

Who knows?

Dropping the matchmaking agreement today. Sneaking into his bed tomorrow. The opportunities really are endless now that I don’t have the matchmaker-client boundaries breathing down my neck like a giant prison ward armed with a taser gun and a grudge.

The promotion isn’t going anywhere.

There are tons of ways to skin that cat.

No offense to cats.

I grab my laptop to do some research when there’s a hesitant knock on the door.

“Come in,” I call and glance up, expecting to find my new officemate. There were whispers around Make It Marriage that HQ had hired a new, up-and-coming matchmaker.

But it’s not my mysterious co-worker.

It’s Kayla.

“Hey.” My grin stretches across my cheeks.

Kayla’s lips stay flat.

I really don’t care. We left Corrine and Evan’s dinner yesterday on a… tense foot, but I’m in such a good mood that nothing could bring me down.

“Hey.” Kayla slips inside. Her heels hit the floor. She walks past the sofa and stands directly in front of my desk.

I crane my neck to meet her eyes. My grin deflates a little. “You look serious.”

“I did something.”

“With Brendon?” I grin wickedly. “That position? The one in the video I sent—?”

“With Troy.”

All the mischief leaves my body like it got hit with a sucker-punch. “What?”

“I’m sorry. It was for your own good.”

I rise slowly. All humor gone. “What. Did. You. Do?”

“I matched him.”

My jaw drops.

For a moment, the words don’t even make sense.

Kayla sighs. “I set him up.”

As if on cue, my phone starts buzzing.

I don’t answer.

“Charisma Ellington. Former ballerina. Sweet human being. Troy is everything she’s looking for on paper and I’m sure they’ll get along even if they don’t click romantically—”

“Why the hell did you match Troy?” I bellow.

Kayla winces.

“How could you betray me like this?”

“Betray
