Chapter 1
Online dating. Bailey never thought her personal life would come to a dating profile. Five-five, twenty-eight, and looking for a relationship. She ran her fingers through her curls, biting at her lower lip.
The couch groaned as Bailey adjusted in her seat. Noelle, her best friend, shook her head. It was her idea to sign her up. If only she hadn’t complained about being single.
Even Noelle’s boyfriend proposed to her three weeks prior. She would move after they married in the New Year. What would Bailey do without her best friend living across the hall from her? She wouldn’t be able to visit as often, but she would call her as much as she could.
Bailey didn’t mind being the maid of honor as long as her friend was happy. She had bounced on her heels when her friend flashed her engagement ring to her. “Is this necessary?”
“You’ll thank me later.” Noelle typed away on Bailey’s cell. “Favorite movie?”
Bailey looked upward. What was more appealing? A romance or an action movie?
“It doesn’t matter. You can be honest.”
“How about... the Taken series with Liam Neeson?”
Noelle tilted her head to the side. “No romance?”
“A woman can like other movies besides romance.” Bailey folded her arms across her chest.
“Other women, but we’re talking about you here.”
Bailey rolled her eyes. “Okay.”
“How about we skip that one?”
Bailey inched closer to see her profile, but Noelle scooted over on the couch.
“Not yet,” she said. “You’ll talk yourself out of it again.”
“Why did I let you talk me into this?”
“It’s another way to meet people, that’s all.”
“What about those crazy stories we hear on the news?”
“That’s people. Be careful either online or in person. This site is safe, and it verifies your matches for you.” Noelle’s thumb glided across the screen one final time. “Done.”
Bailey reached for her phone, this time retrieving it from her best friend. There she was. Online. Her stomach rumbled in disbelief. “I hope I don’t regret this.”
“If you don’t like it, you can always delete it later. Who knows, you may meet a nice guy tomorrow at the grocery store. This is you keeping your promise to me to step out of your comfort zone.”
Bailey’s phone chimed, and Noelle shrieked.
“Looks like you have matches!” Her best friend clapped her hands.
“Already?” Bailey tapped the screen. “Wow.”
“See what happens when you take a chance?” Noelle winked.
Bailey’s lips parted. “Swipe left for no and right for yes?”
