The last thing I needed was another disastrous date orchestrated by my mom, destined for epic failure. So, before she could plan another disaster, I bailed out of the country without a plan. Things started looking up when I sat next to a handsome man with dirty blond hair on a 15-hour flight. But it was short-lived when a series of unfortunate events was thrown our way, derailing our adventure. My five-year relationship was in a rut, and despite my efforts to reignite the spark, it ended in a colossal disaster when I discovered my boyfriend cheating with not one, but two men. So what did I do? I ran as far away as I could and found myself on a 15-hour flight. Things started looking up when I sat next to a charmer who had a smile that could melt even the most cynical man—me. But it was short-lived because he wanted something I couldn’t offer.
